Not much love for this line of bats but one that I do love to swing.
The newer versions seem to have a little more pop than those from previous years. If you have the uncanny ability to square up a ball every time. Then I recommend giving these a chance. I've said it before on other posts that for a situation where you need that line drive put the Ghost in your hand. However, for distance others fair better. As for anyone playing clincher or indoor ball where the ball is MUSH these bats do perform quite well.
Anyways I've decided to do T Work with 4 of these bats.
2021 Salvo 27.5oz
2022 Hellcat 28oz
2022 Helmer Resmondo 30oz
2018 Helmer Blueline 28oz
Point system with 3pts over fence, 2pts for gate crashers and 1pt for one hoppers to fence. 18 swings of each.
The Hellcat and Salvo were the only ones to place over. Did have a stiff wind in which was blowing to the right a bit. Either I just can't handle a 30oz bat anymore or was dipping more in which distance lacked but the Resmondo did not perform as well as the others. The Blueline was my indoor favorite lastyear. Plan to give it another go outdoors but also lacked with distance compared to the 2 newer versions (Hellcat/Salvo).
Hellcat 28oz - 15 pts over
Salvo 27.5oz - 13 pts 0ver
Hlmr BL 28oz - 9pts
HResm 30oz - 6pts
Will look to add in the Helmer BB which was on my gamers a few years back and the Obscura which has seen action this year.
