Bat prices/sales??

[NeuroSB]

Trying to figure out when is a good time to buy a new 2017. Seems like Eastons and Louisville go on sale pretty quick, but Miken and Worth just don't seem to go on sale at all. Is that pretty much the case? Keeping my eye on the freak pt 12 utrip but doesn't seem like there moving from the price. I thought with new '18 line out the price would drop.

 

[Country469]

if an extra $100 is that big of a deal, you shouldn't be buying a bat at all.

The only bats that drop in prices are the details demarini utrip bats like the dinger slinger, vision that I seen so far. Check out where cheap bats are sold and all American rejects athletics Oakland A's for the demarini. I haven't see any dramatic price drops on the miken or worth bats yet.

Not a big deal, I'm just frugal. I would rather buy 3 bats for the price of 1. Like the 16 Demarini stadium 22, the 16 combat PTL, and the 16 Easton BB I got NIW for < 300$. Sure they take a little more work to break in but isn't that part of the fun? If I can get a Miken or worth for 50% of the original sticker, why the hell would I pay full price. That logic is why most ppl are in debt.

I don't have time to break bats in and and $229 for freak 30 was worth it. Used it all season and now will use my return for next years bat.

 

[NeuroSB]

So you bought a new Miken, trashed it in one season, and are getting a replacement? Only you hitting it?

Exactly why bats are so expensive. Use it all year, now crack it against a phone pole for the "warranty "...

Same people bitching about Monsta and Anarchy and no warranties

 

[stork]

This might be the one time I agree with you.

Didn't know you hated me

 

[stork]

I don't really hate anybody...especially on a softball forum. I was referring to agreeing with you.

People are so touchy. I hate that.

Not that I agree with breaking bats on purpose, but the cost of warranty replacements is factored into the price. If you buy a bat and get a replacement when it breaks, Miken makes money. If you don't get a replacement, Miken makes more money. Certain bats remain expensive simply because people are willing to keep paying the asking price.

So, the price of bats goes down without warranties. I don't appreciate paying more so jerks can abuse the situation.

 

[Party mafia]

Miken, Worth, Demarini should sell all their new bats for $200 without any warranty; If you want warranty, you pay an extra $100 for the one year warranty.

 

[Joker]

That's ****ing dumb, not surprising from you

 

[NeuroSB]

Soooooooo...no to sales on the Miken and Worth's? Whats the typical lifespan of a Miken or Worth?

 

[Country469]

It won't pass compression, the end cap is cracked and separating and the bat is not legal for tourney or league anymore. I played MAYBE 30 games at most with it, no bp.

WTF are you yapping about? Bats are expensive because I used it until it wasn't legal anymore and am now using the warranty I paid for? If that's a problem for you, then **** off.

Who said I was breaking anything? Its nowhere near passing compression and the end cap is cracked and no allowed in play. You people assume **** on here too much.

@EdMac87, I'm a scum bag for using a warranty on a bat I paid for? lol, your mom suck **** for a living or you just bitter?

 

[Country469]

Stupid noobs thinking they know everything but you ass clowns are wrong as usual. Simpletons of the OSPB.

Then my question would be...is it worth the money? Seems Eastons and Louisvilles have a much longer life. If you could get comfortable hitting with one $100 that lasted you 4 seasons...is it worth the money of a Miken or Worth? Its a legitimate question...I'm not being snarky.

the simple answer is how important is performance to you. i could drive a camry and get to work... won't be as fast as an infinity. what are you willing to pay for?

 

[Joker]

stop overthinking this

Yes, I don't have time to practice and take BP 2x a week like when I was younger and single. I play a couple big tourneys a year and some league. The freak 30 was game ready right away, and that alone was worth $50 to me. I used to keep bats for BP and have a bunch of em, now I keep one. Performance wise its so far above anything I've ever used out of the wrapper I don't know what to even compare it to.

 

[NeuroSB]

So whats everyones preference? Miken or Worth. I was kind of dialed in on picking up either the Miken Freak 30 or PT 12 (I typically like a stiffer handle).

 

[Joker]

miken = worth. ****ing look around before asking dumb questions

 

[Country469]

find someone selling a NR freak 30 imo

It's dumb to ask what people prefer? I'm just making conversation...why you so angry, you got your cup on upside down?
