The Easton Dub Darkside USSSA bat was built with power from the inside out, with a new design that transforms the more you use it. The DUBLVZN decal changes colour as you continue to barrel up pitches.
The Dub Darkside features the same innovative double-barrel technology which offers increased barrel flex and elite performance across the entire length of the barrel. Get ready to join the Darkside.
See what makes the Easton Dub Darkside USSSA different
DUBLVZN Graphic Technology that unearths a hidden world below the ultra-chrome top layer with each swing
2X Double Barrel construction creates a lower barrel compression and massive sweetspot
ConneXion Max utilizes an elastomer connector to interlock the handle to the barrel, eliminating vibration for optimal feel
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, such as the USSSA 1.15 BPF certification mark, the bat’s serial number, model name, and manufacturer name.
Yes, this bat is certified for USSSA play at the 1.15 BPF performance standard.
Easton has worked with USSSA to educate umpires on the changing graphic, specifically that it is by design and has been reviewed and approved by USSSA. USSSA has instructed umpires not to remove the bat from play solely because its graphics appear to be changing color.
However, the bat’s eligibility may be questioned if loose paint flakes remain partially attached to the bat. If this occurs, simply remove them with your finger before play. Standard umpire discretion on bat condition still applies.
No, the DublVzn™ technology does not impact or have any effect on the bat's performance, structural integrity, or certification status whatsoever. The unique graphic-revealing feature is entirely cosmetic.
Yes, the DARKSIDE™ is a member of The DUB™ family, incorporating all of the innovative features of the second-generation model, including Easton's patented double barrel technology.
While wear patterns may vary, continued hitting and normal contact with the ball should cause subtle changes to the chrome surface over time, revealing the red graphics underneath.
No. Only normal baseball contact should be used to activate the DublVzn™ technology.
Using keys, coins, or other sharp objects to scratch off and reveal the red DARKSIDE™ logo may void the bat's warranty.
