Honestly, I think my og AV handles the 52s decently enough. I love swinging it, so I refuse to put it down sometimes. I don't think it'll measure up to a new stamp bat in terms of distance, although I have limited experience with new stamp bats. I will say that my ~1000 hit av was on par hitting the 52s with a 50-100 hit pink JH legit and 50 hit 28oz '14 AM I had tried out. Against the 52s, for old stamps, I've swung a rattling srv3 and AV and they both perform well enough for me to still swing them since I've gotten so comfortable with them (which is probably why I get good performance out of them - all about how the bat fits your swing). Trying to find a new stamp bat that I'm that comfortable with. Hard to say in ft how much distance would be lost swinging them, though.
