I don’t think I’ve ever swung a bat that was ready to go, right away. I’ve always kinda looked at it as it’s legal and hot out of the wrapper. Put a few hundred hits on it to break it in and they couldn’t make that claim. It’s lame, but whatever… what would you expect them to say? “It’s a log at first, but you’ll eventually love it!” Doesn’t have quite the same ring, haha.They say hot out of the wrapper but I don't believe in that too much. They don't take long to break in, but after about 75-100 swings I heard that cracking sound like some of the Monsta's. That's when I knew the bat was getting hot. Still waiting to get the 2021 white one as they are just starting to get them in stock.
