Don't take too much bp with 44's. Use for games, above 65~ degrees, and not as a team bat and it should last you a while.

If you want a very durable ASA bat for the 44s get a recoil. Cheap and last forever. Hot as fire when broken in.

Get an OG unless you are set on getting a new stamp.

Well broken in OG's (2000 or 2004 stamp) will out hit the new stamps and be more durable for you. We play AsA but adhere to the SPN 44 375 ball and no one uses the new bats.

My Izzy Psycho, last year's model... Is still absolutely demolishing the ball. Hit 2 out last night. One was easily 340+. Only advice I would give, break your bats in the right way and don't hit those stupid stadium balls. Hit 44 balls in bp that way you actually know what you can do. Otherwise you will have "durability issues" which are bogus... If you hit the balls they were intended for you won't have any problems. All the bats are stupid hot now... Pick one and have fun.
Easton OGs tough to find. Anything new on the market that are comparable to the OGs that people have hit with?

Combat Wanted seems to be as durable as anything out there with the new stamp.

OG Freak Plus, OG Psycho, DC Psycho, OG Booger, M75120, SCN2, SCX2. Why is everyone suggesting ASA bats only?

Why do all you weirdos refer to balls by cor only? A ball's compression rating makes a world of difference from bat to bat as well, if not more so at times. Just because it's a 44 Cor doesn't mean it's a 375 compression ball etc. Slow pitch balls can be purchased w/ the following variety of cor/comp ratings, and this is not even a complete list.
40/275
40/325
40/375
44/375
44/400
44/575
47/375
47/400
47/450
47/500
47/525
48/400??? (Evil bp comp unknown)
52/275
52/300
53/600
40/275

Those will do fine! Tattoo makes an excellent ball. I suggest buying their composite heat resistant covered balls for summer events at quakes. It keeps the sun from softening them up.

The synthetics are great, but like any synthetic ball, they can transfer heat easier to to the balls insides and soften up their compression rating during those roasty hot days in Rancho. The composite cover is a tad thicker, puffy, & feels like leather. The cover is squishy to the touch, but don't let that fool you. I have bought 100's of their 44/400 NSA composite covered balls, and they are amazing.
