Unless you're trying to break in a bat and lower the compression, there's not much reason to hit anything other than 52s in BP.

Ghost hits we're all with good condition 52s
Imx guess back to 2004 though. The ronins should have absolutely been tct tech and dual stamp. I refuse to believe that one standard isn't lower, especially older tech. Just use whichever one passes both tests. Take the torq handle if and that would be a great dual stamp for those of us that want some more durability.That's why the 17 Ronins were still imx composite instead of tct flex, for the added durability like the old days. But few people want the old school tech unfortunately. Should keep the Ronins cheaper though
I'm not buying all new balls because the associations and bat companies decided to suck. That being said, I have only bought 52s for the last three years and have older bats for harder balls when I need them. My hard balls are so old I don't know what they'd actually register as. I have some 525s that sound more like 52s.I agree with this completely. I see guys blowing through bucket after bucket of classic Ms with new bats and blowing them up fast. People simply don't understand the concept that there are different cor/compression balls out there. I think they just blithely hit whatever balls they have. I can't think of really any bat out there that will stand up to continual BP with classic Ms.
I only hit .52s in BP, and I only use metal bats. Occasionally wood. All the bats I BP with are deader and have smaller sweetspots than what I use in games. BTW, I've never broken a bat on .52s. Even after thousands of swings with metal bats that would be triangles with classic Ms in 10 swings.
So I have a 28oz fireflex that didn’t even last a month! Sad sad day! It’s only a tiny crack but the fact that an Easton cracked on me in such little time is killer! I was hoping it was just a paint defect but nope it’s lifted! Sounds dead too when hitting! I was trying to post pics to get ur all’s opinions but it said the file was too large! Pretty upset about this tho.. should I call Easton cs and let em know?
Less than 100 swings.. nothing below 60 degrees maybe even 65.. 40/325How many swings with what balls in what temps?

That’s what we hit here in West Texas
I didn’t bp it at all.. heard it wasn’t made for it. All game hits unfortunately.. a tad bit of pepper before a game maybe but that’s about it.In games it's what we hit here as well, but it terms of game balls it's by far the hardest ball on a bat. In BP stick to the 52/300 and you'll never break a bat.

Maybe because that’s a classic m, and they’re not uncommon?...why...

Yeah the way you put it looked like you were asking why they use classic M’s in gamesBut do you recommend using them for BP is the question. As he already clarified, this didn't happen during BP but that was my original assumption.
Where can u get a balance fireflex from?
I got mine for $229.00 free shipping.
Hey bud- could you let me know where you bought yours at? I'm looking to possibly buy one.

Great, a new OG/bubble sticker/1st batch thingAfter talking to a local rep, it looks like Easton tried to fix the compression issue. This is directly from a known/famous Easton sponsored played. They added a small composite layer to try to fix the testing issues. If your bar code starts with AF it has the new layer composite, if it has AE that is the old failing composite.
We will see how much of a difference it actually makes though... I have a 200 hit FAB14, webbing all over, interesting to see what it tests at.Great, a new OG/bubble sticker/1st batch thing
