So I’m in the market for a new bat for the first time since 2014.. I’ve only ever bought 3 bats in 11 years playing softball. They all lasted a good while. One was a 2014 worth legit 27 oz. (for reference all of the bats I swing are for the most part 27 oz USSSA balanced). Amazing bat and hit the most home runs with it. It broke in 2 after a few years of moderate use. I also bought a 2014 Sick Resmondo BJ Fulk- thing was hot as hell out of the wrapper and pretty much hot for the rest of that season, and was a solid bat the next few years until it just became a dud.
It was about 2017 that I started to use other teammates bats. In 2019 I had a teammate give me an Easton Ronin that still had some life in it, which lasted basically through 2020 and was a pretty nice bat for a singles hitter.
Last season I used my buddy’s DC-41 2019, and I enjoy that bat which is weird bc I was not too comfortable swinging the older DC-41’s. But it reminded me a bit of the old legit that I had.
None of these compare to the best bat of all time (in my opinion): the 2012 Worth Mayhem.. this thing still has some buzz left in it from when I took it out of my gamer rotation 5 years ago. It was my first bat and best bat. Part of me I guess doesn’t want to swing the rest of the life out of it for nostalgic reasons. The other part tells myself I’m just saving it for a championship game situation. It’s not your ideal home run hitters bat I’ll be damned if I didn’t hit a good amount out with it. Pissing singles and doubles into the gaps on all parts of the field.. bat is place hitter’s dream and a defense’s nightmare! (The grip is lizard skins that I replaced the stock grip with after a few years.. looks pretty dope)
