Product Description
The new EASTON SRV5 SALVO offers great balance and a large hitting area.
Amazon.com Product Description
The word "salvo" literally means a sudden outburst resembling the discharge of projectiles. To a slowpitch softball player, however, it also means an exceptionally durable bat from Easton, built with a 13.5-inch slightly end-loaded extended barrel for extra power. In short, the Easton Salvo lives up to its namesake perfectly. The Salvo is equipped with a patented Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX) composite barrel and an ultra-thin 29/32-inch tapered handle. The IMX barrel is the bat's centerpiece, with optimized aerospace-grade fibers layered and angled to maximize the hitting area. This not only provides an extraordinary feel, but also eliminates vibration, helping deliver a balanced and fluid swing that acts like a natural extension of your arms. The bat also benefits from Easton's Single System Technology (SST), with a one-piece design providing players with solid feedback while maintaining an expansive hitting area. Add in updated graphics for 2010 and you have a strong, attractive bat that delivers explosive results.
Certified for 98-mile-per-hour performance, the Salvo complies with all current softball bat performance standards: ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF. The bat carries a 400-day manufacturer's warranty.

The purpose of my review is two-fold--both to give you a sense of this bat (Easton Salvo) and to to help you make a good decision on a bat, whatever you choose. The Salvo is my favorite bat.
I purchased an Easton SRV5 "Salvo", 26 oz bat. This bat is appropriate for players ranging from full sized "big guy" types to 110 lb women players. I can hit bombs with it. The weighting and pop of the bat have allowed women on our team to get nice line drives to the outfield. If you are a "beast", or have played semi-pro ball, or your friends affectionately call you "meat", you may want to move up to the 28 oz or 30 oz versions of this bat. The 26 oz version is quite adequate to drive the ball 300 feet from a standard slow pitch.
There is little real information out there about bats, especially considering how much they cost. I started looking at composites because I felt like a Luddite hitting with my old aluminum bats. Looking around my league (a relatively...Read more

It sounds like a log out of the wrapper, but starts to break down at 50 cuts, and you'll notice a dramatic sound (and pop) difference at around 100 swings.
Played in a game last night, and the opposing team "swore" the bat was shaved, rolled, or an Ultra in Salvo's clothing. All I could do was laugh. This thing is legit!

Holy cow. Straight off the UPS truck and straight out of the wrapper. Lots of pop. An instant team favorite. Another teammate has the Synergy. Keep the extra $100 and buy this bat!
