Wow this thread blew up like a Zombie.
Again, post your bat bag, or STFU. Unless you're swinging Hammers and $50 Walmart bats, you're a hypocrite. I'm sure you probably have the hottest Demarini and Worth/Miken in your bag, Mr. Can't Hit It Out of the Infield.
I will say again, I'm not defending Carl, but I am calling out your idiocy.
As a matter of fact I do because I'm part of the wise majority to not support that asshat. I'm not sure what my bat bag has to do with it or what connection there is with what I swing. Anyway, please continue to defend Monsta and claim you aren't. You're doing that well at least seeing as you have one on the way.
Everyone who has said "I'm not defending Monsta" in this thread has continued on to defend Monsta.
Nailed it.
Who the hell in their right mind wants to order a bat and then have no real idea when it's coming? Weeks? Months? That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
Any other brand you can pick an online retalier, order it, and have it in 4 days, even if you pick the slow shipping option.
Also nailed it. I guess we should all start planning for the 2017 season and get our pre-orders in.
NIW Freak12 at release - $225 to $180-190 when MSRP got lifted
NIW Freak12 now - $250+ seen them as high as $300
This game can be played all day. Resale value of bat tells no one anything about the company that makes them. Not sure why it is even being mentioned.
Thank you for this post showing the idiocy of "resale value." But really, people actually buy bats as investments and think about resale value of a bat they intend to use? I mean I might understand holding on to something that would be considered rare, but people really consider resale value on a bat they're using? Good lord. Talk about pinching pennies. Here's another idea, swing the bat until it breaks rather than buying into some dweebs claim that the latest bat is somehow hotter than the last and is going to get you that extra 2' of distance to clear the fence.
"Last years model performed at 97.7 mph. This years performs at 97.7
1 making it the new hottest bat ever made!! Better go buy it!"
Please.
Anyone want to bet that these dates stick? At least the preorder date has a chance.
Wow. Good luck finding someone to take that bet. Of course it sticks. He's not reinventing the wheel by making a specially painted bat from a model already available. He could have it out next week if he somehow applied graphics to existing Torch models. Risky maneuver pushing all the chips in on this one. We'll all really have a good laugh if it fails.
