Do the majority of you tend to pick up bats and instantly fall in love with them or if you don't like them from the beginning deal them for something new and try again?
Do you buy a bat and since you spent good money on it keep it for long enough that you've swung it enough times you've grown comfortable and learned to like it?
Or do yo take the simple route and take whatever performs and force yourself to use it like it or not because of performance?
I've experienced all.
My favorite ASA bat of all time is the OG Extended. I spent $240 on it probably in 2009 based off recommendation of a teammate and sight unseen and soon for the next couple years was swinging it an ASA and utrip leagues/tournaments. That was up until I swung a Combat DS Plague and that took over for utrip.
Fast forward a few years later and I found my favorite utrip bat. I bought a Mizuno blackout from a teammate because it was too heavy for him and I needed a bat. Initially i hated it and it probably took couple hundred swings before performance made me stick with it and 500 or so before I could admit I liked it.
Final category was the 09' Ressy titan. I got it in a trade and the performance was great, but sweetspot was too close to the end cap for my liking. After my second bp session with it I dealt it to a teammate who bought it purely off performance.
