| April 30, 2012 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | White Combats Just wanted to let you know that the White Combats 10" Barrel bats have arrived at Anaconda. If interested all you have to do is give me a call @ 330-419-0205 or e-mail me at mike@houseofswing.com. Thank You. Gorilla Boy |
| April 30, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Mike, ouldn't find it on the anaconda website. When will it be up? How is this different from the bat Kevin is selling? |
| May 1, 2012 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | HJ, the bat is the same as the one Kevin is selling. The only difference is the knob at the end of the bat. The one Kevin is selling has a smaller knob. The one Anaconda is selling is the regular standard size knob. There is not supposed to be any difference in the performance of the bat. I have them on sale right now for 189.00 and that includes shipping and handling. Once again it comes down to the players preference. Small knob versus standard knob. Anyone that is interested give me a call at 330-419-0205 or e-mail me at mike@houseofswing.com. Thank You. Gorilla Boy |

| May 3, 2012 titanhd Men's 60 638 posts | HJ . Kelly's has them as well. www.kellysultimatesports.com |
| May 4, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | Mike, I bought my yellow Macenko from you. I also have a Combat Virus enhanced which is getting hotter and hotter and is liked and used by a number of teammates. That has a 10 inch barrel. Question will the new white senior 10 inch barrel end loaded, swing like my Virus? If yes, I'm interested. |
| May 9, 2012 Michigan Vet Men's 65 255 posts | Just got one from Evil Sports (Anaconda) yesterday. Took it to game took 3 swings in practice and the knob broke off. Bobby you want bat back!! |
| May 9, 2012 notretiredyet555 Men's 55 30 posts | Mike, is this the same as the red 10" Combat from a couple years ago? |
| May 9, 2012 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | No it is not the same as the Red 10 Inch Combat. They are similar. The actual design of the barrel size looks the same. They are endloaded like the Red bat. Combat uses a different type of composite material to increase the strength and durability of the bat. Once again they can tweak the composite material to be stronger but still have the great performance like the rest of the Combat Senior line of softball bats. The bat has a stiffer feel but with a soft shell. I hope this helps. Gorilla Boy |
| May 10, 2012 notretiredyet555 Men's 55 30 posts | Thanks Mike. My red is really hot right now, so I am expecting breakage soon. This was the second one I owned and had the best of luck with them for pop and durability. The white one will be my next bat for sure. Thanks, David |
| May 10, 2012 tinman Men's 50 75 posts | My 3 week old White Centenarian is as good as any Rebok,Miken or Combat I have ever owned after 2 BP sessions.The first Black Centenarian I purchased has hundreds of swings,some at 40 degree temps and is almost as good with no sign of wear. |
| May 10, 2012 batter4u Men's 65 82 posts | Got my white centenarian on tues and took batting practice with it yesterday. ball really jumps of this bat and I agree that it will hit with the best of the senior bats. Off a tee was clearing the fence,300 ft, with the wrapper still on it. Hope it last as long as my blue combat, have over 1500 swings and still hits the ball good. |
| May 10, 2012 HJ Men's 70 481 posts | This is all helpful and thank you. I still would like if any one can compare it to the Combat virus fully loaded which is also a 10 inch barrel. If it swings like the virus I want it. Can anyone compare the feel of the new 10 inch white combat end loaded with the feel of the Reebok Melee Legend end loaded. In my area I just can't get to swing these bats before buying and any info would be appreciated and helpful. HJ |
| May 10, 2012 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | I got 2 of these short barreled bats from combat and the 1st one broke in 50 swings and the 2nd one broke in about 80 swings. SO for me they do not compare to anything that last more that them. They were hot right out of the wrapper, but the jury is still out on them in my opinion. |
| May 22, 2012 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Well, I got my short barreled bat yesterday. Sure hope it last longer than yours, Mario. |
| May 22, 2012 Robo2 238 posts | Sorry to disagree. I had two blue combats and they did not last 100 swings. One did not last 50! I did like the yellow bat. |
| May 22, 2012 rightrj1 Men's 55 286 posts | The White Centenarian (IMO) is the best Combat out there since the yellow MM, Sorry to disagree also, but the Blue MM FLAT OUT SUCKED and I purchased 2 of them...I put about 50 swings on the White Centenarian and it was game ready. I have 2 White Centenarian's the small knob to me seem a little Hotter then the large knob White Centenarian...But I really like both models...The Black Centenarian seems a little stiffer, but really opened up after about 600+ BP swings. |
| May 30, 2012 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Have not bought a bat in a while; what is the difference in the Black fully loaded & the white? Thanks |
| May 31, 2012 tattooball 774 posts | The white small knobs are in stock and shipping daily. |
| June 1, 2012 im4gvn 2 posts | Kevin, How do I order the one with small handle? Just broke my grey one and would like to replace it with this bat.Is 28 oz the heaviest offered? |
| June 3, 2012 tattooball 774 posts | You can call me on monday 845-532-2668 |
| June 3, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Question for the sellers of these bats on this thread. Given they are no doubt no warranty bats, and some are breaking at the knob, is that considered a DEFECT and therefore exchangeable for another one? |
| June 3, 2012 tattooball 774 posts | taits I have never seen a combat break at the knob, but if that did happened and I sold the bat it would be replaced. I have replaced any and all of the bats that have had a defect to date. Misused or abused bats will not be replaced however. |
| June 3, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | tattooball, That is fair. Until this week I haven't seen a bat break in the grip area on any bat. Barrel area quite a bit. Taper area few. Thanks. |
| June 3, 2012 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | WoW--Just hit 200 at BP with my new White Combat---on the first hit, to the fence,(I'm 72) it sounded like a long lost "Wood Bat"--it feels good and hit well all day----now if I can just get Combat to make a 30oz, had to take a 28oz,that would be the only thing better. |
| June 3, 2012 tattooball 774 posts | Wes you can call me if you need a 30 oz I have some left. |
| June 4, 2012 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | still swinging my white combat and loving it...........prolly have close to 200 swings on mine with no prols..... |
| June 4, 2012 brian warner Men's 55 54 posts | I have a 28oz. white combat with 680 swings on it. And it is the best bat I have ever had. I ordered another from Kevin and it took 3 days for it to show up. Which is really nice when you are going out of town to play. I also took Kevin's advice for breaking the bat in. Which he said would help it last longer and so far it has. I would have broken 2 or 3 Mikens by now. The bat is very end loaded so if you know someone who has one ask to look at it. Because you might want to go lighter. And if you want to know how to break the bat in, contact Kevin. |
| June 5, 2012 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | tattooball I was told by three sellers that Combat has not made a 30oz WHITE one---I do not want the blacl one---if you have a white-10" 34/30oz e-mail at gwesarchit@bellsouth.net |
| June 5, 2012 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | tattoball you told me today on the phone that you did not have any 30 oz. So how is it that you tell Wes that you have some? In case you are wondering I'm the one you told that it would be 2 weeks before I could getr a replacement for my 30 oz that broke. |

| June 6, 2012 tattooball 774 posts | Mario Your bat was purchased through combat canada and is being replaced by them. The 30 oz bats that are available are through A.D.STARR. I said I don't have any on hand meaning my bats at the house or I would have sent you one of mine. |
| June 6, 2012 Mario Men's 50 451 posts | I did not know that even though buying through you there was a difference. |
