Adidas Ruckus
- Thread starter chile
- Start date
I finally found a guy who has them... but $220 + shipping for a bat with no warranty is steep. Especially that they are untested in the wide market.

Yeah, I'd like to hear/read/see some reviews
Check the Woodlawn hitting club FB page. I think they had one guy hitting the Ruckas.
The Barrage was a very under rated bat. I loved it and found it to be plenty durable too. The last 2 or 3 I had I found cheap on the bay (60 bucks). Put a couple good rounds of bp and they were gtg and would hit with everything else I had. The last one I had that finally broke had 2K+ swings easily and still passed compression around 240ish. If this is the same bat or close to it I'll pick one up.

Did you use it mainly as a BP bat or gamer...or both? What temps could you hit it in?
I used it for both, I used it with all balls and all weather. I had 6 of them total and only one of them broke early (around 6-700 and actually broke at the handle between my hands). Of all 6, 4 went to 1500-2000 plus and I sold 1 to a buddy that is still going.

Oh my heck. Tell me more
I had to run sorry - ok here’s what I think. I play on a 55 major plus SSUSA Adidas sponsored team and along with our new Adidas sr bats Lee gave us this 26.5 oz Adidas Ruckus. With about 125 cuts it is outhitting our 600 plus hit 2018 DC 41 and outhitting our 700 plus hit 2018;Worth Legit Branch - which is pretty impressive to me. We hit it last night here in MN in 45 degree weather - bat held up well to about 7 guys hitting it in a dbl header roughly 70 more hits. 4 guys who own some custom Pure usssa bats ordered a bat from me and I took 4 orders from guys we played against.
You can get a review from Dave on senior bat reviews and they claim its on of the best usssa bats out there.
I’ve ordered my 25.5 and can’t wait to hit it as I play in 2 ussssa leagues.

Are you talking about the utrip model with the new stamp?

There was a guy on FB that had some at a senior tournament and I messaged him to get one and it didn't seem like he wanted to get rid of them.
Not sure - I play on an Adidas sponsored senior softball team - thus me getting the Ruckus , but they might just want to take that particular route. Most of these other companies - thats all they do is softball / baseball - Adidas is a mule billion dollar conglomerate and probably is taking someones advice within their own softball community.

So went out last night and put almost 200 hits on the bat with 44/400s and GSL balls. At first the bat was stiff and stung my hands but after 100 hits the barrel still remained stiffish(not a word) but very responsive. I was so bored hitting the same bats over and over so giving this ADIDAS a try was a great experience. Is it hotter than miken/ worth:? probably not but was getting close to the same distance and exit speed from the mainline bats. If you can find these for a good price (not $250) I would pick one up for sure.

Mine lasted 150 swings. Played a friday night tournament took about 100 cuts b4 hand to loosen it up and 50 during tournament. Only hit 44/375s. Was 90 degrees out. Not worth $250 to only last that long with no warranty.
