Discussion: Miken PT vs Dudley

Moving into the Senior division Whats everyones take on these?
They are both great bats. It really depends on personal preference in my opinion. If you swing Worth/Miken bat in leagues, I would recommend going with a Miken so you have the same feel when playing tournaments. It always took me longer to adjust to my Dudley because I swing a Worth NSA bat in leagues. I now use a Miken in senior ball and it's a much easier transition. Try them out of you can first and see which one you like best.
I bought the Miken PT Macenko (Orange One) broke in 60-70 swings, I have the Dudley lightening end load (blue one) with probably 300 plus on it and still going. But that Miken was smoking hot while it lasted but never made it to the field.
I play mostly Utrip, do they test at worlds like they do in Utrip?
Bubblehead - I haven't seen a senior tournament that has ever tested bats (including world).
No testing at SSUSA events! Aloha, Fabe
strange question to ask?
Not so strange for someone just coming to senior ball coming from Utrip where most tournaments test bats as there is a compression limit on bats there...

Welcome to Senior Ball BH96! This is great ball where you'll find the respect for the game on the field and the camaraderie of your opponents off the field is a welcome change from "kids ball"...
Dudley will last longer but PT warms up quicker
