Straight out of the wrapper hitting from the backstop (fields wanted us to stay off mound and out of batter's box) I hit 6 out of 25 swings over a 300' fence with another 5-6 falling at the warning track with the wind blowing straight in from left field (I am a right handed hitter).
Switched fields for team practice same day same complex and hit 2 of 8 swings with cross breeze blowing from left field line to right field line. I wasnt going backside probably in the 340' area. My brother was also hitting some to the fence at this time (never has hit a home run).
We've done 3 bp sessions since with both of us swinging it and results are getting worse. I have not hit a home run since the first day and he is getting less distance. We are both noticing that it audibly sounds worse now than new, and the feel is worse than new. I have already pieced together that it is very unforgiving when not hitting the sweetspot, but seems like sweetspot is the size of a dime. Anyone have similar experience or is it possible it's a dud that ran its course in 100 swings?
Similar temps 60-70 degrees all days
Same pitchers
Same balls (assorted ASA hotdot and utrip. Maybe a couple trumps and ASA tattoos mixed in)
