I haven't unwrapped mine but I've heard it's basically a torq without the spinny handle
I bought one, took 5 hacks off a tee, had an end load BB rattling around. Sent it back to the dealer (SIS) got a new one. Prob 150-200 hits off a tee, again, BB's rattling around. Not sure if most are doing this?? I have a 27oz. feels heavy, I will weigh it soon. Took about 5 in game cuts. It's webbed up a lot, and has a nice cracking sound. Just not there on feel, exit speed and distance just yet. I'm hoping a couple more hundred cuts and it will be good. By the webbing I would think it's fire already, sadly it isn't.

I unwrapped a 27oz torq, and a 27oz ASA team edition, the same day and they didn't feel very similar. The ball jumped off the torq much much better(I had the handle taped to not spin on the torq) The ASA webbed up right away. It felt decent, but not nearly as good as the torq. I don't believe they are the same bat minus the handle.

must be common... buddy put 5 swings on his in the cage the other night and it has bb's rolling around inside as well.
Right on, was hoping that wasn't the case. I really want to like this bat. Prob wait a couple months then send in to Easton. Hopefully the return will be a 2016 ASA Helmer. Who knows tho. I'm sure they have done 2014 L4's or L3's they'd try to push on me.

This is good to hear. I have an ASA Torq that sits in the bag because i dont play too much ASA...i'll need to put a few more cuts on it...
That's bull****
Exactly my thoughts.
I understand the exclusive part, but the equivalent to the SIS Team ASA is a Baker or Kirby? 2015 at that, not even a 2016? Still bull****.
Here's how the call went:
Me: Hi, I'm calling to see what the return bat will be for a SP16SSTEA?
Easton CS Rep: The same model bat sir.
Me: Well this bat is an exclusive from a certain store.
CS Rep: Oh, what's the model number?
Me: SP16SSTEA
CS Rep: Is that a one piece or 2 piece bat?
Me: 2 piece
CS Rep: Well probably a SP15SKA or SP15BBA. The Kirby or Baker.
Me: Ok, Thanks Bye.

You can get a TCT model...your not gonna get an exclusive back, but you're not just limited to the Kirby's if you ask nicely...
