Bought a new Dudley Lighting hitting 44/375 balls after about 100 swings ball was only traveling 280 feet. I usually hit a senior bat around 320-330. The handle seemed very stiff, need feedback if it will open up, or any similiar experiences.
I have two Dudleys a 12" and a 13" E/L. Keep hitting and it will open up around 150-200. The sound off the bat will change.My 12" has a little more handle flex than 13" but they are real nice bats if you take the time to break them in. I also have a Miken Big cat and a Miken Maxload.It took awhile for them open up but once they did the ball flys off them. My feelings that the Dudleys will do the same
My 28 ounce Dudley has about 350 swings on it and its my only one to use, hits great.
Thanks guys, I will keep hitting it, mine is a 28oz balanced
The balanced Dudley bats may take a few more swings than the EL models. Keep swinging it.
