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: An entry alloy bat that trades performance for control, durability and price. Modest sweet spot and power, but strong swing-weight friendliness and value for a first bat.
Our Review
The 2026 Easton Typhoon USA is an entry-level one-piece alloy bat for young players just learning to hit. Its very light -12 swing and balanced feel make it easy to control, helping beginners square the ball up and build confidence. The durable alloy barrel needs no break-in and holds up to everyday use, though it does not offer the large sweet spot or pop of Easton's composite or two-piece alloy bats. As a first real bat at a friendly price, it does exactly what it should and gives families a dependable starting point.
