Every day I'm Shuffilin!
Absolutely love my Sonic+. It does require some break in but will last forever, conference players were getting 3000+ hits out of them so I doubt most players will break one. I think people are either scared or not use to the endload, but if you learn to use it...it absolutely smashes!

I said forever that I was gonna pick one up, but I never did. I will one day. I hear good things about them. LS just drove me away too much from wanting to try one.

So if it takes so long to actually break in why wouldn't anyone just have it rolled to speed that process? Or is that considered cheating we got into this convo over the weekend but never came to a conclusion of its cheating or not I heard it is frowned upon....

Frowned upon at the very least. Why not take the time to put in the work? You can only get better from it anyway. It's cheating as far as my $.02 goes.

Thanks just looking for opinions really hear a lot of people talking bad on LS but they never take the time to really open up the sticks.... I really can't wait for the Solo Z though I heard it's only a repaint idk how true but idc honestly....

I hated everything I swung LS after the OG Z2000. I'd like to get a Sonic+. I definitely don't mind taking time to open up sticks

I have about 2500 swings on my Sonic +, almost exclusively with stadium balls, and it's a firestick now, which coincided with a change in sound. For the longest time it reminded me of the sound of old ceramic baseball bats, but it now makes a nice crack on contact.
If this bat came out during the old stamp era, I believe it would have been very popular, but in the current world of instant gratification and 2 and 3 piece bats, the Sonic + has flown completely under the radar.

if u guys love that sonic+, the new 16 line is a improved version with the superz and z4 barrels with same composite that sonic + is.. and solo z is not near as a log as the sonic+..
if u get a sonic + just bp it will hard balls she should open up around 200 swings depending on the hitter u are... bout 500 it feels great..

I can vouch for just how nasty this bat is.

Are you just saying that the Solo Z just has a new make up (layering, resin, or thickness) of the original Sonic + composite, or is a new composite all together? Also, isn't the Sonic + 360 composite?

all that sounds good about the Sonic / Solo Z, but the biggest question regarding the new line is....does the Z4 still "twist"?

And then someone just posted today that it still twists. That's the reason I asked.

I got you. Didn't mean to come off as a d bag. As soon as my Z4 started that twisting, it hit the road. I could feel it every time I hit the ball. Awful.

Not wanting to be that guy, but the 4 (z4's) that I picked up had some small twist in them when 0 impacts on them...
Looking like a Super Z and Solo Z for me this year
It's not an opinion. It's expressly forbidden by all associations so it is cheating. It doesn't matter if people feel it's not, it is. It doesn't matter if people feel it's the same as things that aren't cheating, it's not. They took the time to research it and make a rule, it's cheating pure and simple.
I don't think it's cheating for a really slow guy to leave early on a tag up. He's only catching up to the really fast guys, right? It's not his fault he's slow, so it's okay for him to break the rules. See how dumb that sounds?
It doesn't matter what people's opinions are. It's against the rules, so doing it is cheating. Cheating has never been and never will be about opinion, no matter how much cheaters try and muddy the water and convince people there are grey areas. There are not.

You're not being "that guy". People deserve honest reviews. If it's happening, we should know. Appreciate the feedback. Will look to a Super Z as well...

Couldn't have said it better. I guess I need to stop worrying about people getting butt hurt. I think the idea of a "derby bat" is stupid too. Man up and let the best man win with a LEGAL bat.
