| Feb. 23, 2004 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Wicked Composite (wwsc), Crush, Techfire and U2 when approved. |
| Feb. 23, 2004 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | Bruce, Do you think the Crush will be a durable bat for someone who is mostly a base hitter? |
| Feb. 23, 2004 STONEMAN Men's 50 535 posts | BEST BATS: 1) MIKEN'S ULTRA 11 2) MIKEN'S FREAK 3) WORTH'S 100 PLUS WICKED 3) EASTON'S 100 PLUS SYNERGY 4) WORTH'S PST & MIZUNO'S RAGE The Orange Crush dents too ez. |
| Feb. 23, 2004 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Thats why the Crush is number two. I am trying not to use it much. Its funny, it will get a wave and then, after hitting with it some more, the wave will disappear. I would think that a base hitter wouldn't dent it. I found out recently from the Mohr board that I have a team bat, denoted by the silver "Serious Performance" on the taper. But, I have heard that the Crush in general is lacking in durability. |
| Feb. 23, 2004 Fred 45 posts | Miken U2 for SSUSA. I will also be purchasing a Miken Freak and a 2004 Demarini 375. I have read several reviews on the 375 and it is supposed to be awesome on low to mid compression balls. At $220 it could be this years sleeper. Fred Men's 55 |
| Feb. 24, 2004 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Bruce- I'll concur with your assessment of the Crush. We hit a brand new one this past weekend. There were five of us - about 75 swings each on the Crush. We were using the old Bob Mitchell yellow 47 core - 525 compression balls. These balls are two and three years old so they are not hard. BUT we still dented the bat and had a couple of what may have been waves but we thought they were cracks. My appraisal: I like the bat but for $200 and suspect durability, I may have to look elsewhere. |
| Feb. 25, 2004 Ed Men's 50 27 posts | DeMarini 2004 F2 ? Thinking about buying one . What do you think? Would appreciate any input. Swung a Miken ultra II 28oz. last yr. Does the F2 swing a little heavier? |
| Feb. 25, 2004 STONEMAN Men's 50 535 posts | ED: I went thu 4 F-2's last year. Nice bat & has a nice feel. But, this bat bents ez. BATS THAT LAST LONG: 1) Worth's PST & Metalic Green Wicked 2) Powerhouse's OZONE 11'S 3) MINZO'S BLUE FURY 4) WORTH'S BLACK EST NEW bats that r supposed to last r: 1) Miken's Freak 2) Easton's 100 plus Synergy 3) Worth's 100 plus Wicked. Good lUCK.... Stick w/ the Miken11, Wicked, & Synergy. |
| Feb. 25, 2004 Ed Men's 50 27 posts | Does anyone know if the Miken Freak is legal in the SSWS? Didn't see a list fo legal bats on their website. |
| Feb. 25, 2004 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Check the upper right corner of this page. It says: "2004 bat policy Senior Softball-USA allows use of bats meeting the 1.20 bpf, including the Miken II, Easton Synergy and all other bats meeting the 1.20 bpf." Does the Freak meet the 1.20 bpf? |
| Feb. 26, 2004 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Quick note on the Freak. I have a 34/28. After a small breakin period 100 swings I see no big dropoff in distance from the U2 when you hit the sweet spot. The biggest difference is size of the sweetspot. A lot of dying quails if you don't hit it right. |
| Feb. 26, 2004 sbyrdatc 3 posts | 1. Miken Ultra II, you can almost roll your socks up and hit'em 300+ feet with this bat. 2. Easton Synergy, durability is a question 3. Wicked Composite, But I personally feel the "sweet spot" is too small 4. PST, also small sweet spot but a great bat |
| March 1, 2004 terryspears Men's 55 38 posts | I play for the Matador Club out of Florida and I will be using the PST when my Miken II and Synergy are not allowed. |
