There is so much hype that goes into "new technology" etc with our bats.
Up until maybe 2 years ago I would have said it definitely is the player more than the equipment he uses...
That changed when I switched from a balanced to an end loaded bat, the JH120 specifically.
The difference was nite and day.
I now believe it probably is a combination of player and equipment and finding that "match".
I've also seen it with one of my best friends who used to play "A" ball. He is the only guy I know that can backspin his line drives and big flies consistently. Everything about his at-bats changes when he moves away from his tried and true bat...every time he buys a new bat in attempt to "upgrade", by the end of the tourney, he is back to his oldy but goodie. The trajectory, distance, spin is totally different when he returns to it.
Any thoughts?
