| Aug. 20, 2013 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | That really depends on the swingers ability, however I'd say the Reebok had better longevity. Baring the swinger, I'd go with older U-2's over the new ones. Not sold on the 2 piece yet, but there are other Mikens that are good too. |

| Aug. 20, 2013 bob4242 18 posts | I already have the yellow Melee. Just wanted to get a better feeling about how it compares to the Ultra 2. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 Cruzer951 9 posts | Bob, Great question….. the Melee Yellow is end loaded……. and the U2 is balanced…. the bats will swing differently…. My search was for a senior bat that would last more than a 150 - 175 hits… Which was the average life span of a U2 bat for me. I also tried the Ambush bat which is a durable bat but it took about 150 -200 hits to wake up and then I hit a lot of balls off the fence. It finally broke around 700 hits. I have 2 yellow Melees, one for game day (about 400 hits on it) and one for BP with 200 hits. Of course My backup is the U2. I played Palm Springs winter league last season most plays swing the yellow Melee are there. So I questioned numerous guys, why the Yellow Melee…. most guys said “great pop and durability” …. I’m 6’1”, 260 lbs play on a AAA team. Last comment: I can hit the ball further with U2 but hit more consistent long balls with yellow Melee. |
| Aug. 21, 2013 SALSAKID49 Men's 60 161 posts | Reebok Legend by far for pop, durability and distance is much better than todays U2.. I got a 30oz Bal and a 28 & 29OZ EL and holding up very well.. all w/at least 400+ hits on each bat. Now IF? Miken were to have the Huevos remake the 2003 OG U2's... then the conversation changes... |
