Discussion: What are Dave Velasquez Top 5 Senior Bats

Anyone know his Top 5 senior bats list?
http://www.seniorsoftballbatreviews.com/reviews.html This lik shows Daves top bats

I watch all of Dave's bat reviews and he does a great job plus he has other guys hit with him for the comparison.
He just did one on the new Dudley (2018) balanced and said it is the hottest balanced bat he had ever swung. His reviews are well worth watching.

Thanks:

James
Guess these are 2017 bats....so now the new Dudley Lift balanced is now #1?
Looking forward to the endload review. Also that 25oz seems too light.
Thanks
I second James's post-- I enjoy watching Dave's reviews a lot-- mainly because I don't believe he is selling me anything or has a vested interest in one bat performing better than the others. As good as his bat reviews are, I enjoy even more the candid comment videos he shares about topics relevant to senior softball today (bat shaving/doctoring, bat break in services, dropping oz's during a tourney, etc).

He's an interesting follow for anyone interested in senior softball. Always entertaining.
I also enjoy Dave's reviews. Dave makes it clear that to him no balanced bat can be one of his top bats because they just don't generate the distance that an endloaded bat does.
I jumped on the bandwagon to go to a lighter bat and now think at my advanced age that my batspeed doesn't really change with a heavier bat so I should stick to a heavier end loaded bat. I have brought back my old Combat yellow end loaded Macenko and so far good results.
I am wondering if an others are doing the same thing. Restated: the lighter bat didn't work for me.
HJ, l am starting to think at around 70 nature puts a speed limiter on most of us. LOL
Dudley Bats begin shipping on February 20. If you want one email me... I have some coming......
DAVE VALAZQUEZ TOP 5 SENIOR BATS
1--ADIDAS MELEE 12", 2--ADIDAS RELOAD, 3--WORTH WICKED, 4--ADIDAS MELEE 2 (2016), 5--EASTON EMPIRE
I don't believe the Easton Empire has been rated by Dave as of now and Dave does not include bats no longer being manufactured in his list
