| Posted | Discussion |
| May 14 Bobby D 3 posts | I am in the process of purchasing a new bat, league rules require it to be asa approved. Have been looking for several weeks and not sure what is the best bat to purchase. I have looked at the Demarini J2 but again not sure. Has anyone used this bat? Any other helpful ideas would be appreciated. With bats costing $299.00 I want to make sure I purchase the best one. |
| May 14 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Bobby D, You can't get them anymore, but my first choice would of been the Miken Red Recoil ASA, since I don't believe you can get that bat, I would go with the New Easton Synergy Salvo, it's an ASA bat, but we have players who use it in Senior Tournaments, good quality bat out of the wrapper, and gets better. Cost $199.99. Good luck........ |
| May 14 wagon487 Men's 55 578 posts | Go to Softballfans.com, they have a bat review section and it's a great place to buy used bats at a good price. |
| May 14 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Just like I said, the Miken Red Recoil and the Easton Salvo, both had great ratings......... |
| May 14 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | hate to agree with #6 but they are good bats,also you might want to look at the freak DST, or freak x-700(both by miken).demarini juggernaut also is pretty good. might want to check ebay out for recoils,as i have seen some there. |
| May 14 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | mad dog, I bet that broke your heart having to agree with me....there may be hope for you yet ! BTW, The Miken DST is not a very good bat or it takes a very long time to break it in ! |
| May 14 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | yeah it took a long time to type that....LOL.... the DST does take a bit to break in,i have hit one that was and that wasn't,i like both tho,but yeah your prolly looking at a couple hundred to really get it going. |
| May 15 Ernies 53 Men's 50 22 posts | TOP 10 ASA BATS (according to Kelly's) 1. Worth 454 Filthy Midload TIE 2. Worth Mayhem 98 Orange Original TIE 2. Miken Super Freak 98 Midload 3. Miken Freak FX 700 Supermax 4. Miken Freak FX 700 Balanced 5. Worth 454 Toxic Balanced This is 5 of the top 10 asa bats on Kelly's, I dont know about the synergys but there are a lot of them out there. I really dont know who to trust anymore but these guys at kelly's so far have treated me right. I personally bought the #1 bat on this list, there are three of us on the team swinging it, takes a bit to break in but for now am very happy with it for asa play! |

| May 16 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | ernie the new easton salvo's are a good bat,they do need a little break in time tho,and they seem to swing a touch light.i swung a guys 30 oz(to help him break it in) and thought it felt more like a 28.i usually swing 26 oz bats and didn't seem to have a prol swinging his 30. been hearing things about the 454's but haven't never been around one,those mikens along with the DST's i have and they seem to be good. bruce that is a good bat if ya can find them anymore,i have the FP version(34-24) and like it. |
