44s are hard softballs and very dense yet. They take a major toll on bats.

Yes i can see there's a pattern, but he's not the only one saying it lately. He is about the only one posted a video of it, but many already have expressed how fragile the bats are nowadays. twisted mit, whatever, people say that's glass.

Evil sports has been telling people to hit 52s because the regular balls are too hard on them for, 6 or 7 years now.....IDK exactly, have to ask buggs when we started selling the bp lites

you seem to have impression it happened as result of user error. Go take look at other posts where people made a similar remarks on the bats made nowadays. Why he is the only one getting this kinda of criticism, perhaps he posted a video?? you tell me.

He posted a video to show off. Point blank. And anyone who sees the same issue, its because they didnt do their due diligence and research what they were buying.

he's not the only one getting criticism though.
he's getting roasted because his dumbass used balls that are very bad for recent bats in a very poorly veiled "look at my numbers on the radar" video all while complaining about breaking a bat early because he used balls that will make a bat break early and knowing he did. there is no reason for him to qualify it with "I know I was hitting BP rockets" unless he knew they were not good for the bat.

Bats are too frickin' hot anyway. Not every at bat needs to be a dinger by a 130 lb kid who spends his weekends playing Call of Duty and plays softball because it's an excuse to drink. This **** needs to stop. Homeruns used to mean something and pitchers used to be relatively safe with a much harder ball. Now the game is all about letting talentless people bat flip. We need people to come to the sport but we don't need to lie to them about their batting skill level at the same time, too.
Twisted mistress 400 at bats and she's dead. Joker, for someone who frickin' hates Carl you sure as **** sound like him right now. "Hahaha it's not a durability thing you used the wrong ball! Not my fault not a faulty product, faulty end user!"

This thread is about showing off and willful ignorance.

I mean, the first three really imply it, and the forth pretty much outrights it. It's not a manufacturer problem except it is, the bats are becoming piles of garbage, and if they blow up in 100 hits on something that's a little stiffer than a 52 they're going to blow up almost just as fast on a 52.

Ive broken 4 combats and a psycho in 2.5 years, all BP has been with .52s after a few classic ms initially for break in, and I regularly swing old stamp and aluminum for bp as well. We do hit classic ms in league but im the only one swinging my bats in games. Obviously bat manufacturers have it figured out, make thin wall crap that breaks fast and sell em for 50 times the cost, warranty 1 time, and repeat. Its all about making money. Exactly why I wont pay big bucks for a bat nowdays

Funny enough, I've broken 2 demarinis the last year I swung them and have never broken a Monsta ever. I've even bought a cracked widow, swung it maybe 200 times, and it's still alive. And those were supposedly the bats with the breakage issues.
I knew Carl had a lot of self loathing but I never thought he'd make another SBF profile to bash himself. It's all starting to make sense now though, Carl.

exactly, people are buying these bats. why would manufacturers change anything? hell easton was known for durability and changed their whole line up to less durable hotter out of the wrapper. easton had the largest market share for a long ass time. they wouldn't be changing unless it was change or get left behind.

some dudes are just bitches
Bats from certain companies have been notoriously heavier than their starst weight for years. It can also be an idea of how endloaded it is.
Last time we had to approach the plate like this was 02-03, and the ultras were about to be banned. In 15 years we've gone nowhere. Well, except that ASA has been swapped to utrip.
Monsta didn't necessarily have breakage issues. The issue was if they broke, he said no, you used the wrong balls with absolutely zero proof. Then denied their warranty which he made them pay extra for in the first place.
Joker is saying for the video, this is a fool me once scenario. By the third bat he should've learned to not hit those balls.
That being said, if that bat has a utrip stamp and stadiums are still legal balls that bat should be able to hit those balls and last longer than fifty swings.

I agree with all of this. Softball caters to crappy players the most now. Sad thing is, even with bats being what they are people still try to cheat and bend the rules whenever possible.
And I hate to say it, but a lot of softball is still played with .44 375/400s and classic Ms. All these bat companies putting out products that can't hit those balls and last more than 50 swings is garbage. Softball has become like socialism. Rewarding people (talentless players) who put in no work. Its a stupid system and has really made the game start to suck.
