ANYBODY HERE ANYTHING ABOUT DEAD REEBOK VECTORS?
I was at a tourney and I see this one guy swinging a ASA Vector effortlessly and hitting the Ball 350+, with Low compression SB12's. So I go out and pick 2 up, one for me and a buddy of mine. I have pretty good power and so does my buddy so we go out and swing them and they where Dead wood! I mean I felt like I was swinging a plastic bat. I go out and lend my bat out and get atleast 600 cuts on it, every person that used my bat told me something is wrong with it it has no pop at all. My buddies bat has the same performance. Long store short I resold mine for half the price. I go out again and see another guy swinging another Vector and the ball is coming off the bat really good. Can anybody shed some light on this? I read the weirdest stories online about Fakes being sold. I wanna buy another one but worried I might get another DUD...

Other than Reeboks senior bats..there ASA/USSSA models are at the bottom of the depth chart. Supersalesman Dr. T put a spin on it for me please.

I beg to differ that opinion. We let hundreds of players swing our Vectors at the "Worlds" in Phoenix and most everyone loved the bat. I use one in league play and it works quite well. The Vector has been discontinued because it was an expensive bat to manufacture. I still have a few in stock.

Both the ASA and USSSA Melees have gotten good reviews.

Surf i am sure you beg to differ, but in Asa/Ussa play you rarely see players swinging the reebok. As stated before i love the yellow reebok senior bat but when it comes to asa or utrip they are behind Easton/Worth/Miken/Combat/Louisville slugger in sales...Hey now if you wanna talk Turf shoes you got me there great shoes, and the reebok brutus sunglasses are pretty sweet also.

ju25.Let me add to this.Ive had both the Vector and the Melee in USSSA bats and they both were junk.Both broke,the vector less than 100 swings in 90 degree .Reebok replaced one of them and would not replace the other saying I bought it to cheap.Anyhow, I would not recomend them at all.Also,like 5tools stated, you never see them being used at all.

Hey Ed,
How are you doing? Good I hope. Question? Do you or Alan have any of the original Vectors (Blue/Black/yellow) with the 3 holes in the handle? I like to get a 28oz if possible. I know that it is an old model, but may be you have one lying around

Hello Kennard, I do in fact have a couple in stock and one may be a 28. I can check when I get to the office today. How you doing? One more week of skiing here and then mass exodus for the ocean resort areas.
Later,
Ed

I was on the internet last night and saw Vectors on EBay for $79.00. I looked closely and realized the bat was not the Hank Garrison model composite softball bat. The Garrison Model is approved for ASA, NSA and ISA and it DOES HAVE GOOD POP. I have a couple left.

Will try to email you Kennard.
