'15 Mercy vs '16 Mercy v '17 Mercy

[NBW1]

Anyone had a chance to dry swing or swing the 2017 Mercy? Trying to find out if it is weighted like the '15 (which was truly balanced) or like the '16 (which in my opinion was mid load to slightly endloaded) All three were/are listed as balanced. Thanks in advance for any input.

17 has an endload.

17 feels like 16, more meat than 15

Some 16's come in over sticker weight as well.. My 26 oz = 27.15oz

I had one like this.

Thanks for the input. So the answers lead me to ask why Demarini would market the '16 and '17 bats as "Balanced" when in fact they are not?

ditto. i have a 25oz that is 26 on the money

Cause people will buy it cause they think its balanced, and people will buy it cause its actually endloaded.

Because endloaded now for them is like 1-1.5 oz with the way the composite makeup/layup is now the barrel is heavier, hence a slight like .5oz "endloaded"

My '16 Mercy is a 26 sticker, 26.5 in scale weight.

I want a 2017 that weighs in at 27 ounces.

I have a 2 2016 Mercys, 26oz sticker, close to 27oz actual. I wouldn't say it's endloaded like many say, feels pretty balanced IMO, maybe a slight midload at best. I had an OG white/green on and that one was crazy balanced, almost handle loaded, so I guess you could say the 16 feels "endloaded" but I wouldn't call it that at all. My heavier 2016 Mercy swings like a 27oz balanced bat.

Anyone have a 16 (or 17) model 26oz that scales at or slightly over26 to trade for my 16 model 26oz scales 27.35.. Niw r/nr for niw r/nr!?

It won't help your pathetic swing. Don't bother.

Anyone have a 26oz 2016 they want to get rid of?
