I totally agree how good these bats perform if the durability holds up it's definitely a winner...saving mine for warm weather remember not many seniors hold up in cooler weather.
Something you could give a try bring the back elbow down and pull elbows closer together to start...back elbow up has to get in the hitting slot when you swing....just something to try.
They are suppose to be sold at the same price by all reps...but some are cut throat and undersell just to get a sale others try to make a little extra cash
The ReAwakening is a12.5 barrel the rebby is a 13"..to early to say much about the performance but they haven't made a bad xcore yet..so there is that.
