L5 vs 18BH

[mike leonard]

A friend of mine has a NIW L5 that he is selling me for a tremendous price. I have swung a friends 18BH and liked it so I was wondering how this bat compares. Sweetspot, distance, durability etc... thanks for your help.

i cant attest to the durability to the L5, but i think they feel fairly similar. the L5 is a little more endloaded. break in time is faster on the L5. distance on the L5 is just as good as the 18bh imo. if you can get it under $175 NIW or under 150 for NR its a good deal.

He is going to give me a fantastic deal on this at a little over $100.

Thanks for your help Louconn, it really sounds like the kind of bat I like.

no prob man. i actually dont have an L5, i have an L2 which is the exact same bat but with slightly different handle. my teammate has the L5 and it hits right with my bat and mine was $100 more had i known they were pretty much the same bat, i probably would have opted for the L5. for a hair over $100, thats very good. if you dont want it, lmk, i would take it off ur hands.
