I really like mine. The weighting is exactly like my fav bat, the OG Z2000

So you're saying I should go up to a 28oz because I swing 27 oz?

Hows the weighting of your robo?

Thank you for the info. I wonder when will the price go down for them. I'm eager to pick one up already. Hopefully no regrets.

That is actually not bad. As long their under 27.5 oz then ill be fine. My Red Knob DC has a massive ounce endload but still swung good

Weird, I always thought the red knob DC felt more like .5 oz
Same, the later black models and RI model were heftier, but my red knob OG 2pc DC was a 0.5oz load for sure.
Feels like the Freak Blacks, and the Hawks feel like these too...
All 3 of my hawks are a 1/2oz EL and nowhere near the heft of the L1 Easton Helmers or Flex I own.
They feel smooth and much like the Freak 12 or Black load. Nothing too overpowering.

Thanks man. Seems like I need to hit the iron. lol. Do you know when the Robos will go down in prices? I need to get one, but where?
That I can't help with.
Up here in Canada they've been very popular and held their full retail value all season up and to today.
Shy of a board bro hookup on forums, there hasn't really been price drops to take advantage of except one retailer who ran a "Friends and Family sale 25% off any reg price item" for one weekend earlier in the summer. That retailer sold out of their minimal stock quickly as a result, amongst a few bat models with that sale.
That OG White 2pc DC with red knob was listed at 1oz load, but the general consensus was it felt light. Certainly proved to be true if you hold any of the Izzy Psycho models or the newer DCs in comparison. The load on that OG with red knob was light.
Maybe there were some exceptions along the way and yours had the full load?
But I can assure you I have NOT seen a sledgey Nighthawk. Even my 28oz have all felt like Freaks with a 1/2oz load and the spec to the Mizuno very much advertises a 1/2oz load. We've all asked for a full ounce load in future from the reps .... Some of us want that bat with 27oz and a hefty EL in the cap LOL

I would stick with a 27. The el is very subtle IMHO just like the OG z2000s bro

Most leagues and tournys use the Hot Dot (52/300 or 275) Nighthawk hits the 52's great. I haven't hit anything else with them so I cant compare

I just hit mine again yesterday alongside my Psycho 2-piece. End load to me is more pronounced in the Miken, which is advertised as a supermax (1 oz). Nighthawk is no slouch, distance was on par with the Psycho, and really hits the 52's well. I have hit many rounds with nothing but 44/375's and Evil BP rockets and the bat looks practically brand new. I am not concerned about durability with this bat.

What do you think, better than your Dc41?
