Yes this is only 1 of 20 bat designs done. balanced will be for spring release along with maybe a little league and ASA bat.

TerryN you are welcome.
The Blue Flame I am using is about 3 years old.
It is extremely adjustable and is currently set to throw a 12' arc. As its names implies [UPM45] it pitches to 45 mph. The Black Flame machine UPM60 throws up to 60mph.
You can quite easily dial in whatever arc you want and it is very consistent. The only variable being the weight of each ball.

Pat looks like the "Nightmare" is dead on. My 28oz is doing just as well. I have several into the trees in Pompano 4 fields and if feels like I have yet to break in the bat. I only have about 100 swings on mine.

grayhitter59 how does it compare to the Melee, a few season ago I went to Pompano to play with you (I drove from Ft. Myers) I've been swinging the Melee since, I used yours.

The Melee is a very good bat, this "nightmare" is a different feel because it's a 2 piece. the ball is traveling just as far if not further. The thing is this bat feels like it will outlast the Melee by 3 times as many swings. I have broken so many Melee's in the past at $175.00 the cost of swinging is too much and for the same performance I believe if you can adapt to the 2 piece feel this is the bat to buy.
