First introduced in 1978, the Easton B5 Pro Big Barrel Bat, also known as &#8220;Green Easton,&#8221; boasted the largest barrel on an aluminum bat ever made! It&#8217;s no wonder past greats like Bo Jackson, Tony Gwynn, Barry Larkin, John Elway, and Paul O&#8217;Neill wanted it in their hands when they stepped to the plate. Forty years later, you can have it in yours, only now with new innovations worthy of the B5 Pro Big Barrel name.

The ringless barrel design with varying wall thicknesses also provides more barrel flex for faster swing speed.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#003366&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">HANDLE<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/09\/easton-b5-pro-big-barrel-bat-handle.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;] The extra-stiff ATAC Alloy handle transfers maximum energy into the ball for increased distance, a more professional feel and performance, while its VRS\u2122 Handle Insert reinforces the handle to reduce vibration and create an even more solid feel.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#003366&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">END CAP<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/09\/easton-b5-pro-big-barrel-bat-speed-cap.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243;] Easton&#8217;s Speed Cap\u2122 provides a more flexible and responsive barrel for exceptional feel on contact. The Natural Pro Balance Swing Weight results in a balanced feel for both speed and power, making it suitable for any type of hitter.

It&#8217;s a re-imagining of the most iconic bat of all time, the #1 bat in College World Series history. Remember, a simple moniker like &#8220;Green Easton&#8221; doesn&#8217;t stick unless the bat delivered in every way, shape, and form. Now it&#8217;s back to change the game forever, again.
