Monsta FIB or NON- FIB

[HunglowJoe909]

Looking into preordering a new one. Haven't swung monsta's a whole lot. Looking for some opinions on those who have swung broken in FIB's side by side with a broken in non-FIB Monsta. Most of the hype is on the FIB's. Can the non-FIB's hang with them?!

Forget FIB, Get a Demarini Aftermath and thank me later.

Get a fib if hitting 52's.

This times 1000

ordered a Supafly non-FIB. Going to use for mush and 52's........forgot what the black widow and some of the older ones were, but not sure if they were FIB or not. Any more thoughts? Should I try and switch it to an FIB.

 

[Dugout5]

52=FiB. Onboard with aftermath 100%! The USA is sick.

 

[HunglowJoe909]

No doubt. I've hit the USA and OG AM. Both well broken in. Both legit sticks. Just wanted to give something different a try.

Do you game your Monsta's over your D's? Just curious

Yes, not what I wanted but performance says so.
Once you put a bunch of swings on and get used to the different feel then start to get over the owner douch deal the dna is really hard to top. Then the torch is just as good.

Thanks for feedback

I haven't put many swings on the USA, but I can vouch for the DNA. Even if the owner is a turd and all of that, the bat certainly performs. Also a lot of guys are now swinging the Torch on my team and that bat seems pretty damn good so far.

The aftermath (both versions), DNA, torch, and bombardier and are all top tier ASA bats. Find the one you can get the best deal on and you're set.

 

[lcky3]

If a deal is what you're looking for, skip all them and get the Boombah Boss. The 2016 is only $200, and if you're willing to put a little extra work on the OG version, you can get 2 for $180 shipped, or 1 for $100.

I would put this bat against any other bat any day of the week.

 

[HunglowJoe909]

Thanks for more feedback. I really like my insane and USA future. Just want something for hot humid days in August

Two DNAs from guys on my team and they swing my Mercy and buddy's J3 over their own sticks. Performance don't lie. Nice looking bats that have been collecting dust this season

 

[RustyShakleford]

We destroyed a team last night swinging a DNA and whatever the piece of crap new 1 piece Monsta is. J3A, 2016 Mercy, OG dual stamp Z2000, and a green ASA Legit were better.

 

[u234bob]

Last Sunday snuck into the local park we play league.
I hit 300 balls or so. Normally I do not hit any hr, just push to rf.
I hit 10 maybe 12 over the fence, all were with dna. Every time I hit any of the other 12 bats we had hit the warning track at best. I swung usa am, mercy, reckoning the most.
Dna has better ball speed for me. My plan this year was to swing usa am but just ain't happening.

Put down my '14 AM OG because the DNA was hotter

what's the dilly on the boogyman?

Pretty good bat once broken in.

Let them know they should be selling the DNA then.

 

[tnbowhunter]

Guy last night was swinging a shiny new torch that he just took the wrapper off of and it was killing the ball. Pretty impressive.

 

[sleepin4matty]

Torch is a pretty nice bat. Feels very similar to my USA AM. There's enough similarity that I wouldn't be able to tell which one I'm swinging

 

[lcky3]

Again, for the overall best deal, the Boss will blow away Monsta any day of the week. Hitting 325-350' off the tee regularly with the OG with only 4-500 hits on it for less than half of what a NIW Demarini or Monsta costs.

Considering the Torch will fail in about a 1k hits, and there are OG Boss bats posted having 2500 hits and still passing compression, not to mention no d-bag customer service issues with Boombah.

I think folks just can't believe such a good bat is so cheap.

I can't wait to try one

LMK when you get that one! :thumb:

 

[HunglowJoe909]

I ended up switching my preorder on the Supafly to a Torch USA edition. After more consideration, if I'm gonna grab a Monsta, it's gonna be an FIB. Otherwise I would just grab another Demar, Boss, or another top ASA bat.

I have the 2015 US AM and the Torch. I love both bats and you cant go wrong with either. I felt it took around 200 hits to get the USA going good. The Torch actually blew my mind from the first swing. I always see people and bat companies talk about bats being ready to go out of the wrapper but the Torch out of the wrapper was incredible. The only issue with the Torch is to activate the FIB you must be able to swing with some good power. You need the wall of the bat to compress enough to compress the fib to truly get the optimal result. My 27OZ USA came in under 27ozs at 26.7 and my Torch came in at 27.4 without a grip. Like I said you really cant go wrong with either bat. The Torch doesn't have the endload that the USA has. If you pick both bats up right after each other you will notice that the USA has the weight more at the end of the barrel but at most is only 0.5OZS. The Torch has a noticeable midload but it brings more control and bat speed. Im gaming my torch but living in Illinois we have cold weather up here and the torch is defiantly more sensitive but the USA has been a tank for me.

I've said this over and over.. if you play ASA and you're not swinging a Demarini, my friend you are at a disadvantage! Flipper-Aftermath, Mercy, J3A, Cluggy, '16 OG Juggy, Insan3 and others are all AWESOME BATS!
