2023 Easton ADV 360 USA Baseball Bat Review
The ADV 360 was Easton's flagship USA composite, and for good reason: a huge two-piece barrel with elite pop and a clean, low-vibration feel that has long set the bar in the USA youth class.

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 ADV 360 earns top-tier marks for sweet spot, power and feel thanks to its premium two-piece composite build. Value scores a bit lower because of the high list price, and durability is solid but, as with most composites, not quite alloy-proof.
Our Review
The 2023 ADV 360 is a two-piece composite built around Easton's Launch Comp barrel, which gives it one of the largest sweet spots and hottest barrels in the USA category. Pair that with the Dynamic Feel System carbon handle and the iSo CXN connection with Nitrocell foam, and off-center contact is forgiving and almost sting-free. It does need a short break-in to reach peak performance, and at full MSRP it is one of the pricier USA bats, but the trade-off is top-tier exit velocity for a serious youth hitter. With drops from -11 down to -5, it scales from younger players to bigger kids approaching the move up to BBCOR. If your hitter has the bat speed to take advantage of a premium composite, this is one of the best swings in the USA class.
