Demarini Venum Ritch’s Superior Grover MVP

Shoulder drop is a symptom caused by Lunging at short pitches. When you lunge you bend your front knee and prematurely turning your hips and dropping your backside. Stop lunging and they’ll stop saying you’re dropping your shoulder.

Bueller?!?

Still looking for someone who has actually hit a 2018 Steel ...

I heard they were being shipped this week. Anybody swung one yet?

Thanks, guys. That makes sense. I’ve owned 5 Steels including the OG White and Raw. Different models perform slightly differently, but only slightly. Guess I’ll have to wait until April to find out about the new one unless anybody has swung a prototype.

Looks like there is a 2018 DeMarini Steel ... pics in the Direct Sports catalog, although I couldn’t find it on the DeMarini website. True? Anybody swing one? Comparisons to the 2016 Raw Steel and 2014 White Steel?

I believe that is an illegal bat modification and, as such, they can no longer be used in sanctioned competition. Neat idea, though.

We shattered a previous model of WS. Shard went by the pitcher's head. Never seen that happen with an aluminum alloy bat. But, then again, temps were in lower 50's ... below warranty and batter's name was "Big'un". I've played in 3 different senior singlewall leagues, and the best bats BY...

Since SBF 's Store has been selling the newest Blast (Jawz) for $40, $60 may be a bit overpriced. ijs

The two stints I did in Florida allowed me to visit Pops and the Woodlawn Hitting Club several times. I was immediately welcomed and felt at ease with Dave and all the regulars. Look forward to getting back someday. You'll enjoy it.

You should care about .44/375's because you might live long enough to play senior ball and get to hit them with real (1..21bpf) bats!

Three bad options could be in your future: - Dudley Softie's - cork centers - .52 COR, 275 comps ... which are really worse than the 300's.

Is anybody noticing that the Raw Steel model number is WTDXSTL-16 but the "Steel" model submitted to ASA is STL-16. From that I would infer that there is another Steel with a composite handle yet to be announced. Unless something has changed, these are fragile in cool weather if hitting the...

Went with the 27oz Max Freak 52. Got the 2015 new for half price on clearance ... thanks to the gift card from my loving wife! Can't wait for the 70-degree temps of last week to return to hit it vs. my 27oz Z-2000. Thanks for your posts ... esp Marl.

my bad ... The Miken Freak 52 is only a Maxload (.5oz endload), not a Supermax (1.0oz).

Need Freak 52 Supermax input ASAP ! Does the 2015 Miken Freak52 Maxload swing light or heavy? I know it's an endload, but trying to decide between 27oz or 28oz. My 28oz (red) ASA Miken Recoil Maxload (MSRMA) feels a bit heavy, but my 27oz senior Miken Ultra Big Cat (MMULT2) feels perfect...

"... Standing' in the shadows ... "

Update Update: checked in with Demo Cust Svc. New steel bat is "in the Design Phase". We won't see it this fall and probably not in April because that is when their fast pitch bats come out. I'm thinking late June, but that's a guess.
