What is the quick review?

The 2022 Easton Maxum Ultra pushed the limits of barrel size with the longest barrel and biggest sweet spot in the game. This one-piece composite bat catered to hitters who wanted maximum forgiveness and didn't mind a balanced swing weight.

What models and sizes are available?

Every Maxum Ultra model featured the same oversized barrel design with Easton's XXL sweet spot. The seamless carbon construction eliminated dead spots while the balanced swing weight made the massive barrel surprisingly manageable for most hitters.

How is it built?

The 2022 Easton Maxum Ultra is a single-piece composite with a big barrel and light swing.

How does it compare?

Covid pushed this bat line into a weird cycle, but the 2021 Easton Maxum Ultra was only a BBCOR bat. However, the 2020 version, called the Easton Maxum 360, exists in fine form. There are no significant changes to the bat from the 2020 to 2022, although Easton claims to have made some changes to the composite---we couldn't tell the difference.
