I swung a sweet metal bat this weekend that smoked a clincher. It's black that has in small lettering Redline and is something in the model of c50 or c500. The handle was thin and is slightly end-loaded. The owner had it a while so I assume it's pretty aged >10 years. Anyway, I would like to get my hands on a 26oz if I knew what bat it is. I am a longtime Demarini guy.

Thanks

Thanks but the Redline wording did not take up that much space of the bat. It's very small above the main logo(not the Easton logo). It's not a 2 piece bat. I have searched all the forum and the guy left before I was able to take a pic w/ my phone.

Yes something like that. It was my last at bat and I just glanced at it when the game ended.

I had the C-Core bat for about 4 years.. great metal bat. imho, I think it's better than the Z-core which came out a little later. btw- is joker really banned?

Do you have the bat I have in mind? The one Joker linked may not be the one.

So the main logo wasn't Easton?

If that's the case, it probably either said "Z-Core" or "Redline" big on the other side. If the Redline did not take up that much space, I'm leaning towards it saying Z-Core. I'm thinking it's the SZ5-Z that Joker linked.

If Redline did take up the whole other side, then it could be a few others like the SZ7.

The guy is going to take a pic but the bat was so used, alot of the logos got scratched up. He did mentioned something about beads or bb's in the endcap. I don't know what that does for the bat's performance.

My understanding is those are glued to the endcap creating more end load.

That's the old Motherload that Easton used. I don't know if it was the same weighting across all Eastons, but I swear the Motherload on the ST1-Z was like 2oz...it was freakin' ridiculous.

No, sadly I got rid of it years ago. It's the exact bat that Joker linked (not the Z-core one). Replaced it with a Worth Wicked. After one game, I got 2 flat spots (waves) on it.. so I returned it that. Worst decision ever.

I am actually interested in the bat pictured by joker, does anyone have that exact bat available. I don't want the z-core version. I might be interested in the silver model which i think is the sz3 but i want the sz7 instead. Please let me know if you have it and willing to sell.
