Got some goodies in my PMs this morning...

All my posts would be about the USSSA model Nautalais and DB44 bats. No clue on ASA - I don't play any of it and none of the local rules allow for use of that stamp. To clarify, initially it was the 2018 all black (comp handle) Nautalai D-Lab bats that I got a hold of, and benched my Worth EST...

If I do it's back day that coexists the best. Somehting about the pull motion and swing coexist the best. Learned this from a PT friend who plays years ago, he wasn't wrong. Or, I will go in and do lots of rear delt flyes and chest flyes to open up and stretch my upper. That's usually more...

I was under the impression this was to be an A3 stick. Guess I am wrong.

That one is a SMU Exclusive for another company. I am told same Red bat, diff paint. Much like D-Lab drop is.

2020 DB is no joke. As good as Red '19 and OG Black. No clue on a 2020 Red. What I was told is the D-Lab Red Bat drop was the same as OG Red. Was told a rumour of a June drop of 2.0 (or is not 3.0?) where there would be more to it for durability. I would personally welcome it so long as it...

Utrips were garbage. Like just really not good even for the 52s - Until 18TM or maybe some well worked in 17 NBs Demarini was just not very good for 52cor and Utrip stamp. Obv TM and Naut changed all that. And there's reasons the AM tech is not even around any longer in Utrip. But the ASA are...

++++++++1 Ain't no SMU or old bat hitting like a Nautalai or TM. Seeing as OP owns a DB44 now, he would just be setting himself up for disappointment.

I put down 17/18 Worths for OG Nautalais based on performance on those balls specifically. I've since continued to add an 18 TM and will add something spec'd like the Red when one of my OG BLack ones dies out. As Andjayik said, all we game up here. The bats that are fabled here are all the...

1 & 2 will more or less be the same. 3 will have a wee bit more pop but not by much. Certainly not composite bat pop. Nowadays 3 might be cheaper to get than 1/2. (Wood bats ain't so cheap these days I noticed). Can't really get softer than a 52cor Hot Dot without going into the practice or...

And this one is better than 2018 - what BP Hero reviewed and hyped. And the subsequent hype it got after his reviews... Just falling behind in the Nautalai hype train, same with Fulk.

At this point i'm holding out for whatever rumor mill i've heard on 2.0 (or 3.0) I'd welcome slightly enhanced durability. (IF the plan is more like FF2 and FF 360 tech after OG FF)

I agree. IMO 18/19 Z1000 models or bust. Anything Z2000 ri to 2017 were turds compared to the Miken/Worth leaders of the pack in those years. The models listed are on sale for a reason ;) Newbreed gets good, but not the most forgiving bat. Smaller sweet spot 12" barrel and stiff alloy...

I couldn't agree more, though I lean towards Red bat myself after more work with them. Swinging my 2 OG Blacks without concern now. When one blows up, we'll line up a red. Fulk is pretty damn good, 19 Juggy shifted some gears. But when hitting 52cor balls the Nautalai is a next level vs...

Are we talking ASA or Utrip? If Utrip 2018 or 2019 Juggy will get you in that OG Juggy/J2u/J3u range handle whip and 12" EL barrel. When it comes to ASA I haven't got a clue tbh.

Yep pretty much. Try and hoard a few of the same bat. Not always easy.

Nope. Unless you hit like a wuss, no chance. My GF (albeit she hits pretty hard) - Hers fails and sits prob just over 1500 cuts in 2ish years. Not even her gamer bat. The gamer is a black 16 Flex. Doesn't pass. She doesn't get her bats tested at any level she plays. Doesn't matter to her...

St100/ST100h/SY100 Likely to lose the end cap before having durability issues. Prob takes thousands of hits to fail if ever. Also might take a thousand hits to wake up, but they do get VERY good with age and work. Anything after that is more new gen bats. Even 16/17 Flex Helmers will fail...

That or BP 52cor balls and save the abuse. Seems to work well for us here to hit 52s that we game for BP. Initial hits into the bats it's nice to pound them with 40/44 a little to wake em up. But north of 100 cuts or so (or even less on some Demarini and Pure bats etc) we hit the 52s only and...

That's kind of odd. I didn't like it in the cold dome. But, once I got one (won it) - Barrel felt pretty soft from the get go. Noticeably softer than the Juggy 19 did. Got good really quick with 2 BP's with a buddy helping me hit a batch of 40/44s. Webbed up pretty good and we parked it...
