Best All-Aluminum Bat

[KGAD5]

Hey guys new to the thread here, currently looking at what my options are for a great all aluminum bat for my one aluminum bat league where I’m at. So my question is, should I be looking for a Steel or something a little more old school like a Worth EST? Any suggestions would be great thanks!

 

[BTW300]

Any Demarini Steel will work well.

The steel wouldn’t technically be all aluminum. Even if you got the raw steel. The others have composite handles.

Also does the league allow 2 piece and or double walls

I like the Anderson Rockettech CK. It just annihilates ASA balls and has a nice crack sound even with the 52s. I also have a LS SB404 but the RTCK is better.

Steels are technically not aluminum, the barrels are steel and obviously carbon fiber handle. With the exception of the raw steel as as far as handles are concerned, which i beleive has an aluminum handle.

Demarini Rayzr is pretty underrated. Not the most durable bat I've ever seen, but it'll hang with with any aluminum bat out there. Any old Worth EST or Demarini Doublewall will perform just fine.

Yes the league allows any 2 peice or double wall bat, it just has to be all aluminum and no composite handles

Pretty much any of the aforementioned, ddw est rockettech teckzilla etc are great options then

What ball are you using?? Does it need stamps??

[KGAD5]

I believe we are either using 52-300s or 47-375s

They never specified but just to be on the safe side I’m going to say yes

PST, Techzilla/Rockettech CKs and old ESTs will be killer. Also an easton stz-1

Just in case anyone is interested

I wonder how a Powerhouse 1.5 would perform with the new balls? They folded up pretty easily

Great choices, especially the PST, some might balk at the st1-z or c cores because of the comp inner wall

 

[bird25]

I wonder if the utrip techzilla, pst and rockettech would be ok??

I’m guessing they would be fine with 52s but they would still get wavey.

The good old days of performance waves

[GrinningBear]

Was the 1.5 the one that said BFP 1.2. Or was the Team Powerhouse a different bat?

 

[smoke]

It had the BFP, not BPF and had the bogus ASA stamps. ASA was gonna sue so they had to stop using it

PST is gonna be what you want for sure man

 

[blakcherry329]

I'm partial to the Demarini DoubleWalls. I have one that I still use in bp and the occasional ASA tourney(they usually just let me use it) for nostalgia sake. Great feedback and feel.

 

[softballin101]

I actually want to try the nanotek but my rocketteck ck is still killing it and I’ve been swinging it more than my Monsta at times

 

[Carlyboy]

I just picked up the 2018 Demarini Steel for my all aluminum league, it hits classic M's really well

 

[BigWhiffa]

yeah a PST is going to basically take the cake. pst's were hanging with 98mph composites up until they started making bats for 52's. they do have a notoriously small sweet spot but man did they fly off them.

But any 2000 stamp est, ddw, Anderson, slugger xxl will also suffice.
