My mostly useless first impressions of the 26 oz 2015 4TF I just received;
Scale weight was exactly 26 ounces. Thats probably the first bat I've ever had that measured exactly the sticker weight, props to Miken. Please share your secret with Combat and TPS.
Knob is wayyyyy too big (duh). The stock grip sucks (easy fix, so non-issue).
<start of insignificant petty art rant>
The graphics are seriously embarrassingly terrible. Who cares what a bat looks like right? Most border between roadside graffiti and MS Word clipart, but this is a whole new level of barf. The red stars in the background are actually severely pixelated, how does a production product hit the market with pixelated graphics? A lot of bats look like they were made with MS Paint, but I really think this one probably was.
They're stars. If you would have asked, I could have drawn you a whole constellation of vector stars in Illustrator that you could've used on this bat and not embarrassed yourself with. So could the 12 year old kid at the local elementary school, look him up next time. He'll probably do your bat graphics in exchange for Miken Mafia sweatbands.
I really hope the 7 year old nephew of the president of the 4 The Fallen organization supplied the graphics for the bat on this one.

The bat feels good, swings nice for a balanced bat. I think I'll love it. Even if I have to put a bag over my head to be in the same room with it with the lights on.
