| Sept. 3, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | i got to hit mine tonight and notice 5 rings on the barrel spaced at different intervals and a 1/2" to 3/4" crack in the paint by the end cap is this normal? ps by the way "I LOVE THE BAT ALREADY" MONTA LITLE |
| Sept. 3, 2008 Mitch Men's 50 68 posts | Man let me tell you, I watched the game Monta is referring to and a lot of different guys used this bat with "outstanding" results. Some guys have never hit a ball that far in their life. Even the hits that weren't that solid were hit hard and long. "Very nice bat." |
| Sept. 4, 2008 F.O.G. Men's 40 105 posts | Hey Mike...what's the price, warranty info and is it ASA legal yet??? Thanks!! |

| Sept. 4, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | just chatted with Kevin and all's good with the bat thanks Kevin monta |
| Sept. 4, 2008 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Already breaking in my 28FL & ordered a 30FL 10" barrel to complement it. I've not owned any of the shorter barrels but have swung them and they launch nicely. |
| Sept. 4, 2008 DesertDave Men's 60 74 posts | Softballer I just noticed 4 small (1/4 inch) cracks in the yellow paint at the endcap. What did Kevin say about yours? It's too late to get him on the phone here in Az. Has anyone else seen this? I only have about 10 swings on it. Very short BP today (sore finger). Thanks for any feedback. |
| Sept. 4, 2008 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | If your bat is one of the original 50, all have these cracks. The end plugs are forced into the end of the bat similar to a slip ring and the yellow paint does not expand so it cracjks. The new bats have a different paint on the last 1/2 inch of the bat. |
| Sept. 4, 2008 DesertDave Men's 60 74 posts | Thanks for the feedback. Can't wait to see how it breaks in. |
| Sept. 4, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | THAT'S ABOUT WHAT KEVIN TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY IT'S JUST THE PAINT! man are the a great bat...... hope this helps M |
| Sept. 4, 2008 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | That is good to know... mine did that, too, but only in one spot... thanks. I have heard many of you raving about your new bat (Senior Gear). Did you also have the same bat before (gray version)? If so, how do they compare? BW |
| Sept. 4, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | b.w. i think it is better the the Grey or red one! can go wrong with the combat line!!!!! |
| Sept. 5, 2008 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Monta, I am also bullish on the Senior Combat line of bats, never having tried the red ones. But the new one and the gray ones have been everything advertised. In your comparison of the new one v. any of the other ones... was it an 'apples to apples' comparison? i.e. did you compare the same weights/weight distribution, etc.? I have (new one v. gray ones) and I have about 250 swings on the new one. It has a different feel than the gray ones (stiffer) but I don't know that this is bad thing... just different. I'm a creature of habit, so to speak, and it has taken me 2 years to fully divest myself of the Ultra 2 (Combats became available 2 years ago). BW |
| Sept. 5, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | i have the 27 EL in the red and Grey and the m.m. is a 28el love them all but the new one seem to hit hit the others already! gets off the bat hotter to me! I'll be swing it more than the others ps second nite of are senior league already told we can't use it! mmmmmmm wonder why!!! |
| Sept. 5, 2008 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Thanks. I appreciate your input. BW |
| Sept. 5, 2008 softballer Men's 65 594 posts | your welcome b.w and hope to see you soon either l/v or phoenix M |
