PTE is still my favorite.

I've heard the PTE is a good stick. Wish it was ASA.

That's one Combat I've never swung. 52's?
Yes, hitting .52s. It's supposedly 28.5 oz, so I expected/hoped it would be even more endloaded than the Portent G3, but it's just a little less endloaded. It's a 1-piece, but has a slight bit of flex, which is what bothered me about it. I'm obviously getting used to it. It's fine as long as I don't hit toward the end of the barrel.

I had 2 ASA Portent G3's. Both 27oz. One felt mid loaded. while the other was a sledgehammer. I think all the Greinert's were listed as slightly end loaded. Usually depended on what shift made the bats and how many washers they had laying around lol.

I gotta say, the OG AV still smashes the .52. It's weird at first since most of the other bats on the market have a lot of feedback on contact and the OG AV is so buttery soft

my miken platinum popped this past weekend so i pulled out the PTE for the second half of the tournament. still so much goodness in it
hey Normy, hate to bring up a dead thread but I got a question about the Extinction. Kinda hard to find info since its an exclusive .But you're talking about the ASA model right? Is it a repaint of something I can find info on? I used to swing a 27oz end loaded SuperZ which is about an ounce would the 26.5 be comparable? It would be my first 26oz bat, so I was hoing to get somethng with a nice pronounced weigh on the end. Also, I found one on the jungle store for $90 with return, is that a good deal?
dang. Im really interested in this bat. I'm looking for something to replace my only bat and the fact that it comes with an Easton return (right?) is a huge plus. Did/do you game your ASA Extinction, did it take a lot to open up? I have a feeling if I buy this bat, it would get used by afew people on my team.

A kid on my team liked it so much, I gave it to him. I had that years Derby Boys that I liked a little better. Same performance, just felt like the DB had a bigger sweet spot. As far as break in, about 100 swings and it's ready to go. That same kid still has the Extinction. The disc blew in it and he replaced the end cap. Still passes compression and is just ridiculous now.

It's absolute garbage imo. Tried it a few times, it's trash.
