| Dec. 15, 2011 Olden Slow Men's 75 209 posts | Miken Psyco vs Easton Salvo. I am looking for some feedback for comparison to purchase a bat. I am looking at the Psycho balanced or Salvo. I'm a line drive hitter so I am not looking to clear fences. 5'11 180lbs so I'm not a little guy but not a monster either. The reason for these 2 choices boil down to price / warranty. Play in Cali / Az. Thanks |
| Dec. 15, 2011 rfsoftball Men's 50 64 posts | Olden Slow Go to http://www.softballfans.com/ then go to bat reviews. They also have them for $149. |
| Dec. 15, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Olden Slow, Given just two choices..go with the Salvo ! |
| Dec. 15, 2011 ju25 Men's 60 236 posts | Psycho is a top USSSA bat and the Salvo is a middle of the road ASA bat,so unless you play ASA I would take the Psycho. Just remember that either bat will only be good for next season in USSSA.(bat rules change Jan.1,2013). I have swung both and found the Psycho to be far superior to the Salvo. IMO |
| Dec. 15, 2011 Olden Slow Men's 75 209 posts | I do not play USSSA..I play ASA and SSUSA only. That clarifies due to my not being clear. I can't find any info on the legality for play in either one. Hope this help clear up my confusion. I'm new to Senior Softball and srill learning all the ins and outs. |
| Dec. 15, 2011 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I recently bought a Psycho Supermax and today was the first time that I hit it. Although I only hit it off my tee, it seems like a very good bat. I bought it mainly for a bp bat but I may have to reassess that after hitting live pitching. I believe I paid $169 on SF. I guess I should have waited and saved another $20. |
| Dec. 17, 2011 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | I have used both the Psycho and the Salvo......I would still take the Salvo over the Psycho.......just my thoughts. |
| Dec. 17, 2011 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | #6 My Easton Bats last well over 1000 swings. I had a Psycho cracked in less than 300 swings and didn't even get the distance or the pop the easton bats got. The easton bats hit great in the cold. Just my input. |
| Dec. 18, 2011 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | How are the bat rules going to change in 2013? |
| Dec. 18, 2011 Olden Slow Men's 75 209 posts | What about the Freak balanced model ? How does it compare ? |
| Dec. 20, 2011 Paco13 424 posts | I recived the TPS Catalyst 105E Utrip as a replacement for my old yellow one...In my opinion this is the hottest U trip bat that I ever swong right out of the wrapper. Little me hit 3 out on 300 fences and hit few real nice shots...granted that it was cold around 55 or so...so the ball was flying out...but trully it is nice one. I have the 27 EL. |
| Dec. 20, 2011 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | Olden, Although our Reebok Vector-0 is a bit more expensive, it is an awesome bat. Seniors in Phoenix used it and overwhelmingly loved it. I have well over 1,200 hits on mine and it has nearly as much pop as our Melee does. Excellent in cold weather, approved by ASA, USSSA, NSA and ISA. Full one year warranty. Ed Andrews |
