for baseball fans what bat do you think is best

[Tapout]

what bat do you think is best?

the cataylist from louiville slugger size is 30" 17 ounce
the demarini vexxum the size is 30" 16 and 1/2 oz
the easton ******* 1/2 composite 1/2 metal the size is 30" and 18 oz--not the full composite bat-- too expensive
for some reason it would let nme spell s t e a l t h without skipping spaces

any advice would help
thanks

I always used a TPX as a kid .... but as I got older I grew fond of Easton bats.

I'm assuming its for a kid since you're looking for something in the -12 to -14 range.

Most metal bats these days are good quality ... any of those should be good, especially for a young kid.

you guys ever heard of sam bats? they are a company based in ottawa..im pretty sure barry bonds uses them, but i could be wrong..i know there are a few pros who use thier bats tho..a couple of guys i know work for them, making the bats...and i can definately say they are ****in sweet.

my grandson went from a cheat easton($60) to a mid priced tpx($300) this allowed him to pull the ball and use his weight. with the easton he was late on his impact and not able to get his hips into the swing.

Sounds like it was his swing and NOT the bat .... assuming the bats were both the same length and weight ratio.

hog hes 9 to young for growth but if doc wrote him a script I would take it

thanks quiet and capt--I am leaning toward the catalyst as I can get it for $139 right now for a new 2007 as the new 2008s are coming in--it is full composite -also capt was your grandsons new bat alot lighter?

tank I have never heard of them --are they for adults or youth?

[Sir Lifts-a-lot]

catys are good bats. i am partial to easton and their ******* and synergy lines but they are so damn pricey.

[Tapout]

[Tapout]

went with a catalyst--got it for $140 close out--could not beat the deal

did they give you instructions on how to break them in?

that's a good deal however our 13u team has broke 4 of them already this season.

Go Sosa style, just use a corked bat. You'll be tappingout homers like crazy.

[QuieTSToRM33]

also Quiet are you part of American top team

Yes sir.

[Tapout]

edgarr--no instructions--how did you break them

prada--the way these umps act in tournament games they would probably find it corked

Quiet--lots of respect for you bro--have rolled with a couple of you guys before--you guys got your shit together. Started training american/bushido jiu jitsu(thats what they called it) in 97 then switched to bjj when instructor from Brazil came to our school I think 2003 area-- tired--- cant remember exact year-his name is Fabio Novaes

tank I have never heard of them --are they for adults or youth?

adults...a few MLB players use them actually..and they make sick custom bats

[Tapout]
