Anyone else's CL22 holding up well?

Have about 200 swings on my 27 with Evil BP's and ZN's and it still looks brand new. No sign of paint crack issue, and this thing is fire! It's good enough now that I don't think I will be BPing it anymore, but does anyone else have a durable one?

This is true about calling it durable. I just figured I would have issues hitting rocks with it like I have, but it has surprises me!

Mine has about 100 on it and it looks brand new still.

Although my first VX2U still looked new until the day it broke. :(

I'm pushing 800 on mine and no signs of it slowing down. One of the hottest bats I've swung and it didn't take long to get there either.

You have any more bubz? I'm thinking of selling one of my VX2U's for another CL22.

They do swing light but dont feel exactly like the legend. To me it feels like a cross between the S2 and legend. Way hotter then the S2 though. Mine has about 300 hits and no sign of cracks or anything

Lou,

trust me when I say they swing just like a legend, the barrel might be a tad stiffer. But its the closest we're gonna get with a new stamp, and feels nothing like the POS OG stadium IMHO

28oz I'm demo-ing weighs 27.1 without OG grip

I said the same thing about the og stadium till I reached 3 thousand hits on a 30 oz one if you like the legend you will love the cl22 IMO it's hard to but down only other bat I would pick up besides this is the og cartel you can't go wrong with this bat definitely swings light .

I agree. My stickered 30 oz (28.8 actual) feels very much like the 28 Legend I just broke.


Have 300 + swings on my CL22 with all balls and it's holding up fine.

My first cl broke in 20 swings, but its replacement has about 200 game hits on it and not a mark on it. Im still scared to hit bp with it though.

Was hoping to get mine and put some swings in it this week. Sadly the store shipped it to the wrong address. Now I'll have to wait until next week.

I have never swung a legend but to me, it feels sounds a little metalic, nothing like a j2u or j3u. I dont love the feel lol.

Man, trust me I wanted to like the OG stadium, I swung NIW, NOW, 100 hits, 500 hits, 1000+ hits, even one with 2500+ swings, Just did not like the thing.

The CL22 is legit, I've hit plenty of them, and can't wait to get swings on this 28oz I'm demo-ing at the moment.

I always thought that the OG stadium was simply a durable legend. It just took a few more cuts to break in than the legend.

In my mind the CL22 is even more like the Legend. It's ready just as quick as the legend and equally responsive.

I thought they were nothing alike. Og stadium had a decent endload, legend had no endload. Is the CL22 that balanced?

To me the only way to describe the bat I simply a mix of the og stadium with alot of cuts on it and a legend right out of the wrapper after 100 hits that metallic sound went away

To me the og stadium was super soft, my cl22 is not even close in feel, i hit the ball pretty hard but maybe i just need to keep beating on it.

It's so hard to compare. You'd have to contrast bats of the same weight.

I had a 28oz Legend and it was super balanced. I sold it and then had a 30oz (which weighed 28.8oz) and it was noticably more endloaded. The weighting was like my other favorite bat... the CNT+. Medium endload.

IMO the CL22 is MORE endloaded than the Legend and LESS endloaded than the OG Stadium and that is comparing 28s. I've felt a 27oz CL22 and that thing felt amazingly balanced, very light, probably identical to a Legend.
