Swing off a bit today with some dipping but pushed through.
The Boombah moves to Winner Semi against the Dirty.
The XRT missed hit a few and won the round on final swing with an OTF. Demo will have a hard time against the ACL but anything can happen.
Dirty most consistent tonight with a couple of Gatecrashers to send its breathern the Wanted into the loser bracket against the LS bat that has been killing it in those rounds.

Demolition was consistent performer with 9 points, where the ACL lost due to some miss hits with 7 points
Wanted just a tad behind in performance with 4 points. These Combats can use some work @ times and this one no different.
LS Z2K with gatecrasher able to move past the Wanted with 6pts.
Next round will pit the Demolition v Z2000 in which the winner will take on the loser of the Winner Bracket. Boombah XRT v Combat Dirty

As usual I hype 1 bat in some rounds and off they go out of tournament. The Z2000 just couldn't muster enough lift and fell to the Demo who now will go against the Dirty.
Dirty was in the mix but one more OTF by XRT moved into the Winner Bracket Final with a 12 to 9 win.
Next Round Winner goes against the XRT

Loser Round Final
Demolition since being dropped into the loser bracket wanted to get back against the XRT. It did just that with 2 Gatecrashers to surpass the Dirty.
As it seems the Winner Bracket Leader curse continues. Demolition got the revenge against the XRT. A few miss hits and consistent Demo forces a 3rd Match against the XRT.

Final Old Skool Battle
10 swings each with point system.
Ties will get 3 more swings each
Demo started with 3 balls round 1 with 1 gatecrasher and 1 OTF to lead off with 5 points. XRT struggled with me dipping and only 1 point.
Round 2 of 4 balls each the Demo hit another gatecrasher to go up by 8 points. XRT hit two OTF's but miss hit the other two landing with 7 points.
Round 3 of 3 balls and Demo pointed on all 3 with an additional 2 more gatecrashers to finish with 13 points. XRT on final 3 balls needed to get score on all 3 balls if it were to win the event. Swing 1 an OTF to get within 3 points. Swing 2 miss hit no points. On final swing needed an OTF to force a tie breaker round. Final swing only got the 1 hopper to land with 11 points.
Demolition was consistent and towards the end could feel the bat getting better and better. Will be looking to get some swings in gameplay this year with it, deservedly so.
Special Guest Round
Hellfire v Alpha v War Ready
6 wings each.
Hellfire 5 points
Alpha 6 points / 1(OTF)
War Ready 9pts / 2(OTF)

I would actually pick up a proton but they stop at 26oz. I'm a 28oz man.

Newest Battle with last 2 years of purchases going against each other for gamer status.
Pure Sidewinder 26oz vs Anarchy J&H 28oz.
Last swing on Pure was gatecrasher to edge out the Hyde.
Monsta Proton 27oz vs TPS Williamn 28 oz.
Both had 1 OTF each but the Pronsta edged with an additional gatecrasher as well.

Depending on how many hits the sidewinder has. I’d bet that it’s gonna win. I have one and it’s fire

Awaiting drop. Got tracking but hasn't been updated as shipping.
Hoping new as USA still lists as Banned.

Some mist and rain but got through another few rounds.
Easton 27.5 Smack sent the Pure Evil 27 to the loser bracket. Same with the Axe Flared ousting the Valor. No OTF this round.
Begs the question that I voiced hear before, is Easton Double Barrel Tech better than the PAD. Might just need to do a Easton v Pure battle after this. Time will tell as I have seen Pure in live situations and performs. Maybe just my swing speed isn't engaging the PAD?
Next 4 bats showed potential above the previous 4 with 3 of them hitting OTF's.
The Monsta 27oz 888 edged the Worth 28oz Freedom when tied and into extra ball round, launched an OTF to move on in winner bracket.
Proton 26oz Hot Butter was just that and the Easton 27oz Alpha gave a valient effort. Hot Butter with 2 OTF's smoothly moves in the winner bracket.

Early swings were line drives and started slow with scoring but eventually both matches went extras.
Demarini Flipper 28oz gave the Monsta War Ready 25oz a fight. Extra round where on last swing the Monsta came out on top.
Battle of the year so far where the Worth Supercell 27oz v Suncoast Backlash 28.5oz traded blows back and forth. It took 3 extra ball rounds to declare the winner with maybe an unfair advantage as the BLash was in 2022 Challenge.
Suncoast hit also 4 OTF's with the final swing to sweat out the Cell.
