I've read some interesting comments on the thread I started.
Glad to see that metal hasn't totally died out.

In my U-trip league I swing comps, cause I don't know of any new metal worth a crap. In my church league that allows just about anything, I swing PST's, a 32oz Techwrap and a 36oz DeBeer Clincher EST. Dropped a bomb with the DeBeer last week.
I'll be the first to say that PST's are the only metal that hangs with my Psycho, and nothing hangs with my OG Yellow Cat.

I still hit further with my Red PST and Ti than I have/will with a composite. Only thing I haven't compared them to is a Ultra

Some days I swear the PST's outhit the Cat, some days I swear the Cat is the hottest bat on earth.
I've hit two ultras, but only for a few swings. I did not hit my farthest shots ever, but I did hit some really log shots with less than perfect hits. 380+ on a less than perfect hit. That's probably the hottest bat ever.

first bat i bought when i got back into softball was a LS XXL Response. i had the blue balanced one, 28oz. thing did hit pretty damn good.

I'll have to take a pic of my stash. Not quite as large, but I love it.
But I game my composites.
I do also but sold all my new ASA stickered bats except my Future 34/25.5, NRG500 34/25, SA Jeff Hall Worth and my Recoil ASA 34/25 250 Max. Thing is only playing single wall at theis time......

what happened with the original end cap? Who put the metal one on there?

ABC initially produced them with metal caps but had issues trying to get them on the bats & went with plastic caps. I'm not sure how many/if any were released to the public. I got this one from..... (he can chime in if he wants). The metal endcap has the Anderson logo & everything.
I've had several teams call this bat out in games & every time they ask me where they can get one.

I hate this thread, makes me want a metal so bad but there isn't really anything i can do with them other than BP.

I dont think performance was improves by the metal end cap, it was just and issue of damaging almost finished product, so the change was made to the plastics (Lexan?) to stop damage on final product
Come to Poppa, LOL

How would you like to be me, only playing one day a week single wall only, no BP and some great metals I could hit

I play co-ed rec ball so I'm only allowed to use metal. In fact, only singlewall metal.
My church league is "as long as it's ASA-approved", so I occasionally swing a composite there, but I don't own one.

I'm still thinking about that older blue estl, doesn't make sense to buy it but I wants it......what weight is it?

Part of me thinks it would be easier to be stuck in a restricted bat league. I'm doing 1 day of league a week nowadays, was nice for awhile to get away from 3-4 days and sometimes multiple games per night. Thinking 2 nights a week would be the perfect happy medium.
