Slowpitch Softball

Anybody else playing this summer?

I have a question about bats. A guy I play with has a Miken Freak DST that he doesn't use and will sell it to me for 100. From what I have seen this year, the hot bat seems to be the Easton Salvo which I can get for 179.99.

Which one should I do?

    I've never considered in investing in a nice bat for slowpitch softball. I just use whatever they hand me.

    I've never seen one of those. What would you compare it to and how much of a discount can you get?

    I have two DiMarinni's that I'm in love with. Fantastic bats and you can get a good one for around $200. Easton's Synergy series is always a top affordable bat as well, resting around the DiMarinni price range too.

    I play in a church league and my team used to be really good, now we have guys playing that have no baseball/softball IQ. So frustrating. Things like not hitting the cutoff, not covering the bag, not going first to third. Not so much fielding and hitting but the little things.

    Best bats on the market (of course I'm going to say that). non comparable to others more durable, bigger sweet spot, better guarantees, and balanced much much better. I can do 10% off. regular ground shipping is free.

    This kid on my team has a reaper but he can't use it because it's double walled.

    Check with your league rules because our asa leagues just banned double walled bats even if they're asa approved

    I did, we are an ASA league and that bat is composite but not double wall.

    Every other team in our league has one and I was tired of watching the ball go over my head and not being able to do it myself.

    Had our first practice tonight. We look to be decent. I have a Miken Freak 98, which is legal - the double walled ones are banned.
