ok i hear ya on the ?. and yea i feel like i have good bat speed and i didnt want to trade a bunch of bats to find a decent one for me i have this freak max load and dont feel like its the one for me but its my first big purchase on a bat and dont know where to go from here. Its not that its to heavy for this skinny guy i just wondered if the balanced would fit the skinny dudes better. also its lame that my springsteel hits just as far as my maxload freak

Its all about what you prefer. Like I read on a sig once "swing hard in case you hit it"

6"2 175 is on the thin side.
it sucks in my mind im 6'6" 260 but my body doesnt listen
I am 6'5 245 and I have loved both end loaded and balanced bats....Try swinging a few of each in different weights to see what you like before you purchase anything....It is really going to depend on your swing style and what feels right to you. Eric Davis or Darryl Strawberry both were tall and skinny but had incredible bat speed and I am sure used different weighted bats with different balance points....

Obagain has preached this on here. Get your lightest bat and add some lead tape to the end cap or use some duct tape or what ever and try adding .5oz and c how you hit the ball.
easy way to tell if you will hit a endloaded bat better

Slingin' lead!
i hear ya... its hard to say too, with each bat brand's EL and balance point varying from the other... good luck
