Best Single wall bat?

[The Crimedog]

I love the White Steel, not so much the flex handle. I just bought a NIW 2012 Raw steel for $112.

I've only swung the doublewall version, and it's very nice. If the singlewall version is anything like it, it's a very nice bat!

how does the doublewall compare to a 375?

I'd say it's pretty comparable. Comparable pop and feel.

cool thanks. I found a place where they are sold for cheap.
They are balanced correct?

Yup, they're marketed as balanced.

OG Demarini White Steel or the older EST's are my favs when it comes to single walls.

nope 2 shells

That's exactly what I thought, so I was confused by the earlier post...

You are right the EST's are 2 walls. DOH! The white steel is my fav single wall though.

White Steel is a beast!!

Nope. EST = Exterior Shell Technology.
Exterior Shell over an internal frame. Strictly speaking, one wall, but classified as multi-wall because of the internal supporting structure.

I've swung a 26oz White or Raw Steel the last 6 years. This year I plan to swing a 27oz Omega. It gives me every bit as much distance as the Steels, and Anderson seems to have amp'd up the smallish sweetspot on the og Nano. The Nano feels much more "live" in my hands; the Steels feel heavy.

I'll try to get up a review as soon as I get my house ready for listing for sale.

Actually Worth always tried to sell the EST's as single wall even though the name itself directly implies 2 shells (can't have an exterior shell without at least one interior shell!). They would be snuck in the single wall tournies with ignorant umpires so I guess Worth was smart as opposed to Easton that made a bat called the ti-core at a time when titanium was viewed as the big bad wolf that was outlawed everywhere. Even though it was a turd, it was usually a banned turd.

I would think that if there was ever any controversy, just cut one open and see what it looks like inside.

Looking forward to this review.

No controversy. Just ignorant umpires in local tournies/leagues that didn't care. Not that I blame them - that was the atmosphere in those tournies but the guys on the other team all knew perfectly well. So eventually we just took our double walls out.

I swung a white demarini white steel today, all white and that thing was nice. I really liked it.

Ball came off it very well, hitting 44/375s

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I did not think my Worth Hybrid would fly but they let us use it. Technically not a single wall but it goes *ping*, so they assume not composite. Lol! The only issue is the small sweet spot and it's hit or miss. May still pick up a White steel as w eplayed against one and they were killing the ball with that thing.
