I was looking for the most endloaded bat out there. I think I paid $30 and the guy acted like he took advantage of me knowing I couldn't possibly have wanted a bat THAT heavy...he was right...I had no idea something had been made THAT heavy...it swung me, I hit a few balls near the fence, but couldn't get one over. I tossed it in the bag as a joke cause I got crap for seining heavy bats. One cool night I was in a no HR tournament that the coach had been nervous about using me in. I showed him the bat I would use for tourny and he figured he was safe. When I hit a DBO he was too shocked to care. After that I started using it pretty often. I don't hit many DBO's but I always hit poorly when I try to take something off, or try to hit a gap. I can drop one behind the first baseman or swing away and that's about it. The extra weight will put you on top of the ball without adjustment, so it's my "keep it down/test the third baseman" bat. If I accidentally get under it though, watch out. Too many at bats in a row and my brain will subconsciously adjust and I have to start trying to hit down. A. It doesn't take a ton of bat speed with a bat like that and B. Swinging that mother will build strength like crazy!
