Not meaning to insult you. I’m just saying that whomever buys this bat should be careful with hitting with 44s. To each their own however.

I agree that these do hit the 44s well. The only problem is they are susceptible to cracking with harder balls. Without a warranty, you are really putting yourself at risk hitting anything other than 52s. Speaking from experience with this bat.

Just watched this. Basic, but valuable and often overlooked information here.

I’m wondering about our league here in Central California. Hopefully this epidemic, or whatever it is will end soon.

Or at least measured wind speed and distance. I guess studies would be the wrong word. I’m sure I could find some answers somewhere, but I didn’t know if Ken has any relevant data.

Have you done any studies on the effects of wind speed on ball distance? I think we all know that wind can play a huge part. I just have never seen anything quantified.

I read the book too. What are your credentials besides wearing undersized shirts and swinging a bat like a T. rex

That’s Rookie of the Year. The Rookie is a true story. Quit making generalizations. Most people don’t gain velocity after 25. Some do. Get a clue.

If you enjoy 70 year old women more power to you.

You must not have read or watched "The Rookie"

This. And exercises to build explosive power such as olympic lifts and plyometrics.

I’m worried about you developing carpal tunnel syndrome from responding to so many posts.

I was thinking the same. However perhaps even if a person can throw 75 mph throwing straight ahead, he probably can’t create the same exit speed throwing at the launch angle necessary to throw 328 feet. Same goes for hitting.

I used to play on a field that was 270 back when the Ultra first came out. You'd just stand there in the outfield and watch balls leave the park one after another. All homers after you were one up were doubles. It was boring. My field now is 355 to left. It is fun to play on. 260. I can't...

I guess so. Thanks again for sharing.

Alright, I will argue. At the same time though, that is a good site.

Lol. I can’t argue with that! What a great site. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve heard the four foot thing too. However, 75 mph seems like a pretty week exit speed. Obviously I could be wrong, but I doubt a ball hit with a 75 mph exit speed will go 300 feet. In comparison, I can’t imagine someone who only throws 75 mph being able to throw a ball 300 feet in the air...

One thing I have to say in regards to heavy older bats. I bought a 38 ounce from early 90s late 80s I guess for $3.99 at Goodwill. In my opinion it’s easier to swing than my 28s as quite a bit of the weight is in the handle. Not sure if all older heavier bats were made this way, but the one I...
