GREG CONNELL SIGNATURE
1-PIECE COMPOSITE

Built for senior league dominance, the 2026 Easton Empire Connell 1-Piece Loaded Senior Softball Bat (ESS6EMPC1L) is Greg Connell’s signature power weapon for SSUSA and ISA competition. Its Triple Wall Barrel Design generates explosive pop, while the stiff 1-Piece Composite construction transfers every ounce of swing energy directly into the ball. Combined with Loaded weighting that pushes mass toward the barrel, this bat is purpose-built for senior power hitters looking to elevate their game.

GREG CONNELL SIGNATURE — ENGINEERED FOR SENIOR POWER

Greg Connell is one of senior softball’s most accomplished players, and this Easton Empire bat reflects his preference for maximum distance and barrel pop. The 150 Handle Flex rating delivers a firm, controlled feel at contact, while the 12.75″ Triple Wall Barrel provides a massive sweet spot forgiving enough for senior-league competition. Available in four weight options to match your swing profile.

IS A LOADED BAT RIGHT FOR YOUR GAME?

The Loaded design on the ESS6EMPC1L is engineered for senior players with a strong, developed swing who prioritize distance over bat speed. The added end-load amplifies exit velocity when you fully commit through the hitting zone. If you’re a gap-to-gap contact hitter, a balanced model may better suit your style — but if your game is built around driving the ball out of the park in SSUSA or ISA play, the Connell Loaded gives you the tool to do it.
