ASA bats for 44/375

[DannyMac]

hey all,

I currently have a Flipper USA end load and love it, however, I am starting in a new league in a few weeks that is apparently still using 44/375 balls. I have been told that my Flipper won't hold up long with those balls, and I'd rather not ruin the bat. Any suggestions on a bat (that I can still find out there) that will hold up and still give me a nice "pop" like my Flipper? Thanks in advance!!

I have, I can't seem to find any current threads. Most of them refer to older bats which are no longer available for purchase.

What I have noticed is your failure to provide ANY useful comments to anyone. If you spent half as much time just giving valued input as you did sarcastic comments perhaps you could actually be a help Thanks anyways.

Perhaps I did try to help myself first? I've done plenty of research before posting. I've yet to see a bat listed on here that is still in production and easily found for purchase. A simple bat recommendation would be a lot more helpful.

you do know you can buy bats no longer in production right?

this article talks about the dual stamp DeMarinis being used against the harder softballs

If you posted a thread in the LTB section for any of those out of production bats I'm sure you could get your hands on some. probably pretty cheap too. Lots of guys have those older bats lying around not getting much use

If it was me I'd swing the Flipper until it broke and then I'd buy another.

I had a 16 mercy purple 1. that was gas and lasted for ever on those harder balls and up here im cold ass canada to. It's still going it was being passed down the lineup to. It had Minor webbing but still solid. It was crushing 52 and launching harder stuff. I would get called out cause of it. It also passes comp to after all that.

Hey rook don't even pay any attention to Joker. He truly is without doubt the biggest troll on here. He pretends this is his magic kingdom and believes he is master of the stupids. Really just ignore him, he's a loser his lives at home in a basement and is really pathetic.

I think there are plenty of people on this forum that would say swing away with your USA Flipper. Last couple year models have been pretty durable. That being said, I will give you three Demars that hold up well with the 44/375 balls: Mercy (ASA), Future (dual stamp), and Fu Dawg (ASA older bat).

Also think you will be alright with the AM just game swings only with the 44/375.

Only game swings. You'll be fine with the AM.

These are great options I will add the juggy line is also an option as far as new stamp..

That said old stamp with 44/375 is what they were made for few years back..

I would suggest (unless money is no issue) finding an old stamp bat once broken in (imo) it will yield same results as any new stamp bat and last much longer..

Ps.. I have a 26oz niw 180 recoil and a26oz j2 i will sell, shoot me a pm with your number in an txt pics later this afternoon when I get home from work..

 

[BigWhiffa]

find a black or silver juggy. but as others said, just game you AM and you'll be fine.

44's will destroy your aftermath, if you insist on that bat find a used no return one here that is cheap because you will be lucky to get 300 swings until the bat cracks, otherwise any of the dual stamp, deuce, future,legacy, omega, one or if you like slightly flexy 14or 15 juggy, no experience with 16, og insane works good, mercy is great as well with the slight endloaded in the 16 if you swing 26, other wise a well used fu dawg, mlc, Sunday swagger, recoil, freak 98, salvo etc will do the trick
