2020 Easton Maxum 360 BBCOR Bat Review
The Maxum 360 swings one of the longest barrels in BBCOR. Easton's one-piece seamless composite with the patented XXL barrel and 360 Engineering hands hitters the biggest sweet spot per swing weight you can buy, hot out of the wrapper.

How we score ↗How big and forgiving the barrel is — based on barrel length, construction (one- vs two-piece, alloy vs composite), and how it plays on balls hit off the center. A primary driver of the overall score.
Raw exit velocity and distance. We use measured numbers from freely available independent testing when they exist; otherwise construction and consensus, judged against the certification’s performance ceiling. A primary driver of the overall score.
Comfort and feedback on contact — vibration dampening from the knob/connection, the sting of a stiff one-piece vs a smooth two-piece, and the sound off the barrel. A primary driver of the overall score.
How well it holds up and how the company stands behind it — documented cracking/denting reports, cold-weather behavior, and the brand’s real warranty record. Good to know, but weighted lightly in the score.
Our take on price-for-performance — the overall package weighed against its cost and what comparable bats run. Shown for context; it is NOT factored into the overall score (price changes too often and is personal).
Why this score: The Maxum 360 maxes out sweet spot with its XXL barrel and stays balanced and fast for its length. Feel scores lower because a one-piece composite stings more on mishits, and the steep launch price held value in check until it discounted.
Our Review
If barrel length sells you, nothing matches the Maxum 360, whose XXL profile stretches the sweet spot farther toward the end cap than any other BBCOR bat. The seamless one-piece composite comes ready to rake with no break-in and stays remarkably balanced for how much barrel it carries, so it swings light for its length. The catch is feel: as a one-piece composite it rings the hands more than a two-piece on mishits, so hitters who do not consistently barrel the ball will notice the feedback. For balanced hitters who want maximum barrel and a fast swing, it remains one of the most distinctive bats Easton has made.
