2026 Easton Empire Connell 2-Piece Loaded SSUSA Senior Slowpitch Softball Bat ESS6EMPGCL

The Easton Greg Connell Signature ESS6EMPGCL was built around the swing style and performance demands of one of SSUSA senior softball’s most respected power hitters. This two-piece senior bat is designed for players who want a more responsive barrel feel with added flex through contact compared to a stiffer one-piece setup. The combination of Easton’s Plural Resin composite barrel and CXN MC3+ connection piece helps create a smoother feel on mishits while still allowing the barrel to work aggressively through the zone. The end-loaded weighting gives stronger senior hitters the ability to drive the ball with authority while maintaining the softer, more forgiving feel many players prefer from a two-piece construction. Players coming from rigid one-piece senior bats will likely notice reduced vibration and a more fluid swing sensation, especially on off-center contact. The barrel design is built to maximize trampoline response and carry once fully broken in. This Greg Connell signature model is a strong fit for: Senior slowpitch players who prefer the feel and barrel movement of a two-piece bat Power hitters looking for aggressive barrel response and distance potential Players who want end-loaded weighting for added momentum through the swing Hitters dealing with hand sting or harsh feedback from stiff one-piece bats Senior players upgrading from older-generation composite barrels Fans of Greg Connell’s swing style and preferred bat setup If you are comparing top-tier senior bats, the ESS6EMPGCL stands out as a model geared toward experienced hitters who want barrel flex, strong exit velocity potential, and a smoother overall feel during BP and tournament play.
