Easton Tantrum Loaded

The 12" flexible two-piece Tantrum Loaded combines the precise contact surface of the Tantrum family with moderate end load and a whippy, active handle — a combination that makes this one of the most accessible power bats in the USSSA lineup. The wide sweet spot catches timing mistakes that would die on a smaller barrel, and the flexible connection launches the loaded barrel with less effort, making the extra swing weight feel more manageable. This configuration suits USSSA hitters who want real end-load punch but aren't willing to give up barrel forgiveness or the soft feel of a flexible design to get it. The 12" barrel is genuinely forgiving — you get something on mishits that a smaller barrel wouldn't save. The moderate load adds carry without crossing into the weight range that demands elite timing on every swing. Cold weather affects performance notably — warm it up before cold-morning games. Break-in is moderate. Available in 25.5-27 oz. For USSSA players looking for a broad, forgiving bat with real power upside and a lively feel, the 12" flexible two-piece Tantrum Loaded is one of the more complete options in the Easton catalog.
