The 2024 Easton Rope is a two-piece composite BBCOR bat built for hitters who want the smooth feel of a composite barrel with a premium, tech-forward design. It’s aimed at players who like a lighter-swinging composite profile and value feel and sweet spot more than a stiff one-piece vibe. The headline feature is Easton’s “ropecoil” barrel concept, designed to tune barrel thickness and consistency.
Models Overview
Rope launches as a BBCOR (-3) two-piece composite. If you like the feel of bigger-barrel composites but want something different from the usual Meta/CF lane, this is Easton’s swing at a flagship composite profile with a premium price point.
Construction & Technology
Two-piece composite built around Easton’s 3D Ropecoil Composite Technology (a composite material rope wound around the inner barrel), paired with an Opti-Flex handle and a ConneXion Max joint. The intent is a smooth, responsive composite feel with reduced sting and a wide hitting surface. In hand, expect a lighter- swinging composite profile rather than the stiff feedback of a one-piece alloy.
