It's all in the reflexes
I’m thinking of picking one up locally for a metal only league.
Because "Bonsai Aluminum" isn't strictly aluminum; it's an aluminum wall with composite bonded to the inside and outside. The USA Softball approved bat list categorizes ALL Techfire models as composite bats and using one in an alloy-only league would be blatantly cheating.
Wow, interesting.
Thank you for this. It’s not on my leagues banned list so I’m really surprised.
These bats have been causing issues for years. Not only do they say "aluminum" right on the bat, Mizuno claimed in their marketing that because the composite and aluminum layers were bonded together, the bat was also a singlewall.
This would depend on who you ask.. imo no not at all but there may be someone out there that will say differentIs this to say the bat is superior to a metal double wall bat in performance?

When fully broken in, the OG Techfire, Fury, Rage, and OG Crush were on par with any other early 2000's ASA composite. That's when fully broken in though, they need a serious beating to get to that point. Most people gave up on them too early.
The breaking glass sound is a beautiful thing
I liked the Fury a lot. Short barrel, very endloaded. I'd say the Fury hits as well as any ASA bat out today. The sweetspot was pretty small though. Granted, I used the Fury in the days when balls were often .44 or .47 525s. I'm not sure how the Fury does on .52 300s. At the time I swung it, the Fury was the hottest bat I owned.
Durability wasn't great. The Fury was built to perform, not to last. Furies will wave or crack fairly easily.
I also swung the Mizuno Rage, but the Fury was hotter.
Blur was the biggest piece of garbage I've probably ever swung. Mizuno struck out with that one.
We played league with a team that had a very well broken in Blur, and it was unreal how far people were hitting balls with it. I can't attest if it was on the up and up or if it was ready to break.I liked the Fury a lot. Short barrel, very endloaded. I'd say the Fury hits as well as any ASA bat out today.

^^^ That's the way Blurs were. Thousands of swings with no improvement, then they suddenly got stupid hot and were only good for 100 or so swings before they broke.
Have you ever compared the Crush to the Rage and Fury?I liked the Fury a lot. Short barrel, very endloaded. I'd say the Fury hits as well as any ASA bat out today.
