| Sept. 15, 2005 Walk 192 posts | Yes it is and maybe a little better but you cannot use it in ASA. The Maniac 585 in the 29 and 30 ounce models is better than the Freak Plus in my opinion. |
| Sept. 15, 2005 Mitch Men's 50 68 posts | umby44, you probably need to specify if your question is meant to be "in general" is it better or assoc. specific? As Walk says, it might be a little better then the Freak but not ASA approved but a check of the ASA website also shows that the Maniac 585 is "not" ASA approved as well. So I think you need to try and narrow you question a little to either "in general" or "assoc. specific" because there is a difference. |
| Sept. 16, 2005 umby44 48 posts | umby44... hope this helps. I have both , the plus and the Freak. Both weigh 28oz. To me some of the differences are: 1. The plus feels heavier through the swing. [ they do weigh the same] 2. The plus sounds ''flatter'' , or perhaps ''duller'' on contact. Kind of like the old Worth 3DX of 2001. 3. I prefer a blanced bat more so than an end loaded, the plus is slightly end loaded and if I can maintain the same bat speed at point of contact I believe I should have a bit more bat speed after contact and possibly get more distance with the Plus. That has not happened yet. at this time I have had the plus for a month and am getting the feel of a endloaded bat once again. I see no noticable difference in the two at the moment. The plus I have now was a warranty replacment bat . I ask for a 27oz , the bat I received read 27oz , but when I weighed it it came in at 28. Miken told me that was within an accepted tolerance level. Guess I should have asked for a 26. Good luck with yours. |
