Cons
While Easton Mako 11Oz YB15Mk is made from savvy technology which will have you hitting excessive home runs, the durable material from which the bat is made from doesn’t fare so well in extremely cold temperatures and can become brittle and eventually weaken the bat. And seeing as the bat is made from the advanced material it stands to reason that it would cost a little higher than the equivalently sized traditional bats. However, the increased performance created by the bat is well worth the expense for most.
