Easton Salvo Composite Balanced ASA/USSSA Slow-Pitch Softball Bat

Great bat. I really like it and can get some pretty decent base hits out of it. However, I still feel as if the "pop" is not quite there. I don't know if it's yet to be broken in or of that's just how this bat works. Maybe it's because I bought a 27oz and not the 28oz that I am use to. I don't know. Teammates of mine are having a lot of success (hitting far) with a Mikken bat, but I didn't want to drop $300. I'll use their bat this next week and see if it's me or if I feel it's the bat. It definitely could be me. Overall I really do like this bat. I just think it could have a little pop and maybe it will. I have been using this for about 7 games so far. I'll update my review after I do the bat comparison.

So far I am happy with this bat for the price point. I am playing my first year of softball after taking a 5 year hiatus (I played baseball before I had the wife and kids and now I don't have time for hardball). The sweet spot seems a little small but maybe I just haven't broken the bat in yet since I've only had it for 3 weeks and probably had 100-200 hits with it. This bat seems to be less powerful than the DeMarini bat I used but that one was $300 and this bat was just a little over $100. I'm going to use this bat for the next five years regardless so I'm hoping it breaks in soon so I can hit some long balls!

I've owned a previous Salvo (2011 end-loaded model) and I love this bat even more than I loved that one. I play on both a CoEd and men's league teams, the nicer features are that a) This bat has had some good pop after hitting ~35 balls in BP, b) is balanced well enough that our girls can hit with it, and c) looks pretty cool (IMO).I don't hesitate to recommend this bat. While it is a dual stamp, it hits both the newer 52/300 core balls as well as the older ones. It's a solid all-around bat that can be used by a variety of players.

I've been swinging an older 30oz Salvo for a while now but decide to drop to a 28oz Bat. This thing has amazing pop to it and much like the heavier Salvo I hit screaming line drives with it. I am not a home run hitter so I can't comment on that but I am getting good exit speed with this bat. Used this bat twice on Sunday to check to see if the middle was open. It was :) My only complaint is that the grip is horrible. But I remedied that but replacing it with a 1.1mm Lizard Skin.

Play in a slow pitch softball league, and have used many, many bats from all the big brands over the years, and this one is right up there with the $300+ bats. I have seen guys on our team that are notoriously weaker hitters pop some out the fence. I hit a home run with it the first game I had it. For a $110-$120 bat you can't beat the performance. Massive pop right from the start. Easy to hold and swing. You won't regret choosing this bat.

Not a bad bat right out of the rapper. Not as much pop as the original salvo but still a solid bat. Only played one season with it so far but have hit a lot of batting practice to help break it in. I use it for solid base hits, I have another bat for the home runs.

I did not feel like this had the pop it should have. I had a Salvo about 4 years ago, it was HOT. This is not so hot but maybe it's just not broken in? My last Salvo was hot immediately. Otherwise, swings like every other one piece bat. My replacement (not a Salvo) for the Salvo I broke has lasted 4 years and has a lot more pop than this new Salvo.

Good bat, feels a little light. Used at one practice and most of the guys seemed to be getting good pop with little effort. I wouldn't say its our HR bat but is definitely great bat for the money.

Its a nice bat for slow pitch, I really liked the thin diameter on the grip. Has a nice pop out of the box too.
