If you're new to senior softball or prefer a faster swing, consider a \u003ca title=\"Balanced Suncoast Bats\" href=\"\/collections\/suncoast\"\u003ebalanced bat\u003c\/a\u003e like the Melee Diamond OG 13\" Balanced instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eWhat weight should I choose for this end loaded bat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 10px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe Diamond OG 12\" End Loaded is available in \u003cstrong\u003e25.5oz, 26.5oz, 27.5oz, 28.5oz, and 29.5oz\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because this is an end loaded design, it will swing heavier than a balanced bat of the same weight. Most power hitters in senior leagues prefer 26.5-28.5oz for optimal swing speed and mass. Stronger players may opt for 28.5-29.5oz for maximum power, while those transitioning to end loaded might start with 25.5-26.5oz to maintain bat control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eHow does the 12\" barrel compare to the 13\" barrel version?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 10px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12\" barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e on this end loaded model concentrates more weight in a shorter barrel section, creating a more compact sweet spot with increased mass behind the ball. This results in explosive exit velocity and power. The 13\" barrel on the balanced version offers a larger sweet spot and more forgiving contact zone. Power hitters who consistently barrel the ball typically prefer the 12\" end loaded design, while contact hitters benefit from the 13\" balanced configuration.

We recommend hitting 150-200 balls at approximately 50% power, rotating the bat 1\/4 turn after each hit using the rotation numbers marked on the barrel. This ensures even compression across the entire hitting surface, maximizes the bat's lifespan, and unlocks its full power potential. Avoid hitting hard baseballs or using the bat in temperatures below 60°F during break-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003eWhat is Stick \u0026amp; Spin Barrel Technology and how does it increase distance?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 10px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStick \u0026amp; Spin Barrel Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e is Suncoast's proprietary tackified barrel coating that increases friction between the bat and ball at contact. This enhanced friction generates more backspin on the softball, causing it to rise higher and stay airborne longer—resulting in increased carry distance and more home runs. When combined with the end loaded mass of this bat, the Stick \u0026amp; Spin technology can add 10-20 feet of distance compared to standard barrel surfaces.

This dual-purpose ring performs two critical functions: (1) maximizes energy transfer from your swing to the ball for increased power, and (2) isolates vibration in the barrel, preventing uncomfortable sting from reaching your hands on mishits or cold-weather contact.

The CXN MC3+ Connection ties the two-piece build together for a smooth, vibration-dampened feel, while the Loaded swing weight pushes mass toward the barrel for committed, powerful cuts.

The 150 Handle Flex rating tunes the handle to load and unload through the swing, whipping additional bat speed into the ball, while the Power Boost Soft Knob keeps the bottom hand comfortable on every cut. Optimized Player Weighting adds Loaded mass behind the barrel, giving senior power hitters the extra pop they're chasing without pushing the swing weight past what a 150-flex handle can control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlural Resin System — Quick Flex Barrel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Plural Resin System barrel is layered with Soft-Ply Carbon Quick Flex Walls, letting the 12\" barrel flex independently from the handle. That flex creates a larger effective sweet spot and a hotter trampoline effect than a stiffer single-wall design, while the CXN MC3+ Connection manages vibration transfer between barrel and handle — so mishits stay comfortable instead of stinging through to the hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBat Specifications — ESS6EDRL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2026 Easton Empire Rulli 2-Piece Loaded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU \/ Model #\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESS6EDRL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Piece Composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlural Resin System, Soft-Ply Carbon Quick Flex Walls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeighting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoaded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCXN MC3+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Boost Soft Knob\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSSUSA Senior, ISA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDennis Rulli\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable Weights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25oz, 26oz, 27oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBat Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-Piece Composite with Plural Resin System\u003c\/strong\u003e — advanced resin layup delivers a responsive, hot barrel with durable performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft-Ply Carbon – Quick Flex Walls\u003c\/strong\u003e — flexible barrel walls maximize trampoline effect and enlarge the sweet spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150 Handle Flex\u003c\/strong\u003e — a firm, high-flex handle that loads and whips through the swing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized Player Weighting – Loaded\u003c\/strong\u003e — mass pushed toward the barrel for maximum power on committed swings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Boost Soft Knob\u003c\/strong\u003e — cushions the bottom hand and reduces sting on off-center contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12\" Barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e — a forgiving barrel length built for senior league bat speeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDennis Rulli Signature Model\u003c\/strong\u003e — designed around one of senior softball's most decorated hitters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCXN MC3+ Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e — premium two-piece connection system that dampens vibration and preserves barrel flex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in 25oz, 26oz, 27oz\u003c\/strong\u003e — three weight options to match your swing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo Warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — sold as-is, standard for senior-certified composite construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e⚠ No Warranty: The 2026 Easton Empire Rulli does not include a manufacturer warranty.
