How do these Phantoms compare to your red knobs in terms of endload and pop?

The one Phantom I swung (indoors in a golf dome) was comparable to Red Knob performance. It already had a hundred or so swings on it, so it was pretty much game ready. Smaller barrel and IMO not as much EL. I am sure someone like Chile probably has more insight
That said I moved the Phantoms I had and have been laying up a supply of Pures to go along with Red Knobs in my bag for next season

How would you compare the performance of the Ressies to the Phantom?

I don't have enough hits on the phantom yet to say...

Just pre-ordered the Anarchy Phantom Jester in 27oz. Always been a balanced fan, and been wanting to try one of these for usssa. It was meant to be, because the color scheme is a mix of my favorite colors. Hoping they ship 3/1 and I get to get some cage time before the season starts. Can anyone provide input on sound ? Do they produce the normal "clacking" sound of other FIB bats ? What are everyone's thoughts so far on break-in time ?

If your referencing the clack of Monsta or ASA worths Miken...the ASA Anarchy don't clack so I imagine the utrip doesn't.

One week until pre-orders ship of the wild side editions . . . hopefully.

Nope. I've always been a Demarini guy, but was kinda underwhelmed by the Omega2 last year. Loved the OG Omega, and might go back to it since I still have one NiW. I know a pro player for Anarchy and he got me a good deal, so I couldn't turn it down. The site now says 3/9 ship date, which is a bummer.

Phantom I tried was VERY soft on contact. No clack. More thuddy.

which omega 2 u have? endload or balance? have omega og balanced if you are interested for a straight trade and if it's not carbon. i am looking for endload and not carbon either omega 1 or 2. NR is fine.

I have both versions of the balanced Omega. Always been a balanced fan. Prior to this season, I'll be BPing my Omega2 to get more cuts on it and try and open it up more. But I'll also be testing a balanced 2018 Miken Freakshow, and Anarchy Phantom Jester. If all else fails, I very well might take my OG Omega out of it's wrapper and put a ton of swings on it until gamer status.

it's a great bat no doubt for both performance and durability, it shows in my bp video. it crushes both hard balls and 52 very well. I would like to keep it, but i found swinging 28 in live pitch throw me off my timing. i also have Omega2 endload. so, it won't be used unless my O2 breaks. i can't go back and forth 27 and 28, balance and full oz endload. it's too dramatic in the game. Rather have something lighter and preferably full oz endload to fit my swing better consistently. So, i can interchange with other bats without loosing consistency.

So it’s 6am on 3/9. Why haven’t I gotten a ship notification for my wild side yet ??

because its a preorder with that smashy site.....they were not very good with hitting projected releases with nearly all of their eastons last year. The reason I'll never "preorder" anything ever again.

I know, I was being slightly sarcastic. My hopes aren't really that high. The only thing that place smashes is my hopes and dreams.

Latest word on the street is that bats are stuck in customs, but they hope to ship next Monday. Fingers crossed.

Just got tracking number for my Phantom Jester. Hoping to BP it this Friday as long as it arrives.

I know this thread is old, but looking for advice. I'm thinking about stepping into the Anarchy world and I have a choice of a Phantom EL NR with 50 hits for $135 or a Viper EL with a return and 25 hits for $140... Which is the better deal? Haven't found any reviews on the Viper yet. Any help is much appreciated!
