| June 17, 2016 manny 41 5 posts | Lighter bat weight As a young player everyone gravitated to the heavier bat's. I did the same until one day I picked up a lighter bat and I was hooked. As I have aged, a 26 ounce bat feels heavy. Does any manufacturer make a bat in the 24 to 25 ounce range? |

| June 18, 2016 hemi racer Men's 65 237 posts | Good experience with the new 25oz. Melee. Seems to me the swing weight is marginal difference from my 26oz. But have read several articles stating these senior bats need bat speed to take advantage of their design. So us older guys need lighter bats. Balls still seem to carry off the 25oz. bat. |
| June 19, 2016 Sunshine1949 Men's 65 58 posts | I also like the swing weight of this bat and agree it feels more like a 26, performance is equal to my 26 Ultra 2 but my concern is that I have rattle at 175 hits with 44/375 balls and based on past experience they it not a good sign...... time will tell. |
| June 29, 2016 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | I've been hitting a 26 balanced, a 26 end load and a 25 end load "Melee 2" off my tee in the high elevations for a few weeks now. Currently, I am using the 25EL as my go to and like it a lot. Having a smaller frame/build, my shots to the outfield are giving an opportunity to stretch singles into doubles. Home runs for me are not an option anymore but the ball comes off the Adidas "Melee 2" as quick as any other bat I've used. If you have questions for me, let me know. Most of you know how I can be reached. Surf88 |
