Power Has a Darkside.
With each unlucky baseball that comes in hard contact with the chrome Dub logo, the power of the red Darkside logo begins to reveal itself. Each hit brings you closer to the Darkside and complete ownership of home plate!
Easton The Dub Darkside USSSA Baseball Bat opens with a build designed for players who want the barrel to feel present, composed, and ready from the first swing.
Early reps, cage work, and game-speed swings all ask the same question: does the bat stay connected when the tempo rises?
DublVzn Technology - Easton's proprietary DublVzn graphic technology causes the light top layer of the chrome silver decals to gradually "wear away" over time with each hit, revealing the red graphics below. Only the chrome DUB logo and DARKSIDE decal on the front side of the bat have been infused with the technology.
The underlying red surface-level logos and all other chrome graphics are not affected and remain intact and legible, including any Key Graphic Information required for USSSA play (i.e., the USSSA 1.15 BPF certification mark, the bat's serial number, model name, and manufacturer name).
At the center of the design is 2X Double Barrel Construction, outer and inner barrel pairing that keeps more of the barrel active through contact.
It is backed by ConneXion Max, elastomer connection that keeps the two-piece build feeling smooth.
Further down the build, Opti-Flex Handle gives the The Dub Darkside -8 USSSA a more complete overall feel, while the Gen2 In2uitiv Feel Soft Knob finishes the handle side with the kind of comfort that holds up over repeated swings.
From early work to game-speed swings, Easton The Dub Darkside USSSA Baseball Bat is built to keep the barrel feeling ready without losing the details that make each cut feel connected.

Bat Leagues & Certifications
When choosing a baseball bat for your upcoming season, one of the first things you should look at is your league's National Governing Body. The three most common governing bodies for bats are USA Baseball, USSSA and BBCOR. Every league, regardless of age, will follow a specific bat standard for their equipment regulations. The Bat certification logo will always be stamped somewhere on the barrel or taper of the bat. Be sure to check with your local league prior to purchase to ensure your bat meets league requirements.
