Just picked up one of these myself. Great deal on them right now.

I'm about 35-40 game swings in, plus maybe 50 more BP swings, and the bat is just stupid hot. It honestly feels like I'm cheating. Gonna have to grab a 2nd 30oz beast, especially at this price.
I'd also like to say that one of the other guys on my team bought a 27oz, and it's even made a difference for the Judy hitters. It's worth it.

Where do you hit SW?

I'm in North County San Diego and play at Poway Sportsplex, Kit Carson Park in Escondido and occasionally in the San Marcos leagues. I usually take BP on fields in the same area (Rancho Bernardo/Mira Mesa). How about you?

Nice. That's quite a commute. Takes you by almost everywhere I play. I mainly play Tuesdays and Fridays, although I've been contemplating getting involved with weekend tourney play. Haven't really dabbled in that at all.

To those who have hit the OG Flipper AM vs the USA version side-by-side, is the only noticeable difference barrel length?

The USA is slightly endloaded, vice the balanced / midload feel of the OG.

A guy on my team swings a 28oz OG Flipper. I haven't taken any hacks myself, but the barrel is certainly longer. I also feel like his is taking longer to open up, but again, I don't have any swings with it myself.

I prefer the USA when hitting 52s. Shorter crisper barrel.

Do you play Tuesday's San Marcos?

I used to double dip with FUBAR on Tuesdays in San Marcos and another team in Poway on the same night. That got pretty tired after a couple seasons, so now I just fill in every once in a while in San Marcos on Tuesdays and play with FUBAR in Escondido on Fridays.
I'd ask what team you play on, but I'm absolutely awful with remembering team names!

Never hit a mercy, but handle should be stiffer and I feel the barrel is on the softer side; great combo...
especially when hitting Ms or .44s

All we hit are 44/375 so I need something with a little more ass behind it. My mercy is great for hitting the gaps. I know how the bat is going to feel just hope it hits as well as the mercy.
I swing an srv3 as well and hit hat great so I think the USA will do great as well.

Outstanding Bad Dealer
It's not meant to hit 44/375 balls. The durability is going to be lessened.
I know, I am ok with that. I go threw about a bat ever 2 seasons. 20 games so it doesn't really matter. I will get a year out of it and it's return that's all that matters to me.
I figure each swing costs me about .06 cents if I get the whole year out of it and the return.
