Pre ABI, Post ABI, who really cares? A hot bat is a hot bat. There are several new ASA bats that easily approach the old standard. Not ASA Velocite Ultra or ASA Freak style. Maybe not even SCX3, '05 MAY98 or Recoil 250 class, but in the 98mph+/-2 category for sure.
Any of the following:
1 Z1000 ASA BA/EL (Insane exit speed for ASA. Want carry, go EL. BA can still tear cover off ball)
2 One .12 (Not crazy forgiving to swing, must swing well/hard. Slightly endloaded/counterbalanced swing. Very powerful. Will hit bombs.)
3 2012 Mayhem98 (Can hit lazers, rockets and bombs. Give it 300 hits.)
4 One MLC (Forgiving, for those who like slight endload. Very hot)
5 Stealth SSR2/SSR4 27 (Hard to miss hit, very hot barrel. 27 whips like a slight EL.)
6 Afflicted FL (Wildly unforgiving for a comp. Super hot, maybe more than the above. Oz or two up.)
7 454 Toxic (Takes a bit to break in. Nice swing, gets some nice distance.)
