Wait a second:wtf2:
One was new without the wrapper and the other supposedly had 25 hits but I couldn't see where a ball had struck it.
Wait a second:wtf2:
I have like 16 now and that's too many lol
Some people have an obsession... No need to compete with these folks. They don't swing most of them, it is litterly a "collection" like collecting baseball cards or something just on a higher level.
I still think this is a false assumption. My bzillion hit NRG hangs with the top new stamp bats, even with the 52s. And the NRG will probably last forever too, literally.Atta boy ya down to 33 UGH...but I need sell some old since we use 52s now
You may want to delete this and plead the 5th. New sales / trading (in the wrapper or not) is a banable offense.Wait for the right deal. I currently have 5 bats, all but 1 new stamp, and I have maybe $500 in all of them. I bought them all "new" with 2 of them coming from members here. Deals can be had.

agreed!
the only problem with the old bats and 52's is it takes FOREVER to break them in. once they are, there's no problem. the 52/300's don't make some bats suck and others super hot, they just tone down the differences between bats by reducing the performance of the hottest ones and increasing the performance of the crappiest ones. but the 'best' bat with 44's will still be the 'best' bat with 52's, it just won't be the 'best' by as much.
Yeah i dont understand guys who buy a ton of the same bat and the bat line itself last 3000 swings. Personally im looking to buy more of the different eastons to have 1 of each of the popular eastons. Just to see what i like best and to say i have 1 of each :biggthumpup:
and how the hell do you afford that??????
How do you guy do it? i have two bats, Miken Freak FX-700 and a NIW Easton B3. But some of you guys have 10+ and Multiples of bats. Just reading though some of the threads of new release bats, some people have 3 eastons on pre-order. thats almost a grand in just bats! Then there is Hebrew Hacker who has an absolute absurd amount of bats. i think he said he has 112 combat bats (15 of the same bat and multiples of others) Is there a purpose of so many? If i tried to compete with the guys that have 10 bats i would be filing for bankruptcy. please, let me know the secrets!
mother of god.......this is a perfect example. I understand buying a bat, liking it a lot and you're afraid of next years models being crap. So you buy one maybe two more. But holy crap! you couldn't use all these in your life time!
^^^this. But I think the days of hoarding and making a 200%+ profit are over. I no longer expect to be able to buy a bat, swing it for a while, and sell it for a profit. Now I'm happy to break even or take a small loss. Some might make a profit on their Black Friday K U S purchases. But that is not the result of an appreciating bat, just buying at the right time.Pretty sure he got all those when the Extendeds were being sold for $100 NIW and then sold them for $300+ when they became popular. After that he could buy as many bats of whatever type he wanted to years and it was all paid for.
Before I had kids I kept about 20 bats around, now its 3 or 4. I cant see any serious tourney player only having 1 bat these days. Im not a masher and a new stamp stick just don't last like they used to, so a back up is a must have for me. I have broken 10 or so bats in 20 years but Im not about to go to a tourney with a 1000 hit cl22 thinking Im safe for the weekend.
i have 15 or so composites and 15 or so metals. I really should sell something.
