Easton Salvo For U-Trip League?

[Chino123]

I know the Salvo is a asa bat, but would it be great for a u-trip league? Someone on my team said they are getting one, and that it is a monster even for u-trip...true?

I would like to hear about this too....is the salvo that good????

 

[monster5]

i have one and hits lasers. i think they are hot out the wrapper.

 

[DUNNY51]

salvo is a good asa bat......doesnt compete w u trip bats IMO

 

[NUTTY28]

It's not the bat it's person using it. ASA or utrip it don't matter if you can hit.

Damn straight

its been said here in so cal, cats dont buy u-trip sticks. they buy shaved asa and can use them for all associations. IJS.

Very true but Utrip bats will out perform ASA bats. The Salvo will get the job done but will not hit with many Utrip bats

Damn straight

x2. on a 300' field 301 is good enough, and so long as you hit well with a bat then by all means swing it

I bring both OG eastons fuly broken in, a recoil maxload thats fully broken in and an SCN9 thats the same, and still swing my friends salvo over all of them simply because i hit very very well with it

If it's your only bat then sure. But I'd say any utrip bat will out hit it. Especially the good ones.

The truth to why the salvo is so sought after, is because once you shave it, they hit freaking bombs! One of the local shavers here in AZ, said its the best bat after being shaved he's ever came across... That's the truth fellas, teams all over phoenix have one in the bag..

Yes and I said it, its the truth.....

 

[grand salami]

they need a trip or two down a hill... after that meh, decent stick. now the scn3 or scx3 = yes

 

[NUTTY28]

a base hit is a base hit, way to much thought on this topic.

ive played alot of AZ teams alot swing glass, but alot roll with painted sticks... Its prob 2 or 3 to 1 on shaved to painted bats.

When a ball moves faster through the infield or carries further, that gets you more basehits.

Man I can hit some shots with both my salvos , but if you can swing utrip , id go with that.

 

[quad9]

If you can swing Utrip then swing Utrip... the Salvo is decent, but since everybody is talking 'broken-in' bats, the Salvo can't compete to a well broken in Utrip bat (aka 1000 hit Freak+ )

Am I the only person who thinks this bat is overrated and overhyped?

 

[terryracing86]

my new salvo out of wrapper hits better then my 4-500 hit syn2 and feels better in my hand also

I was thinking the same thing, but I've never swung one so I can't talk.. I might just pick one up in December when they are around $100 to see what the hype is all about.

 

[Aguynamedpat]

I have. I wasnt impressed. Have a buddy and teammate who swears by it and will swing it in utrip/isa tourneys but I hated mine.

If you still have it I'll take it off your hands for $100.

 

[Aguynamedpat]

Nope, I traded it. And Im not stupid, I know what they're worth right now.

A valiant effort nonetheless.

An umpire told our team this during a tournament.

Should have flipped it around on him and said "Oh so we should shave our bats ALSO then?"

 

[GNOLAUM]

That was the point of his comment.

A guy on my team swings my Salvo. It's a brand new bat and he's the only guy swinging it so far. He is a very good base hit hitter who hits for a high percentage but has never had power. He has struggled in the past to hit a ball 260'. Our league uses .44 375 Gold Dots.

Once he started swinging the Salvo, the distance on his hits increased. He still isn't a home run hitter but now has no problem hitting the ball 300'. The bat only has 100 swings on it.

We have other nice bats on the team (freak 98, white toxic, og evo, extended 2nd batch, OG Techzilla, white steel) so this wasn't a case of him using crappy bats before and switching to a nicer composite. He's able to hit the ball further than ever with the Salvo.

I know some people doubt the bat, but i'm a believer.

4-500 hit syn two = niw anything else. put 1000 more on it and you will be glad.

They are getting getting to be the popular shaved stick around these parts. They hit okay once broken in, nothing over the top awesome, but a good stick. Would definetly swing almost any utrip stick over it though. The salvo that hit right there with or better than your utrip bats are all worked on. I think because they are so cheap for ASA and still a solid stick when stock so you see alot of guys with 2, A legit and a shaver.
