New ASA bats and 44s

[badluckg]

So I got a Flipper OG in a trade but my league uses 44/375 balls and I know that the Flipper will blow up as we already broke a US Aftermath in less than a month. Had an offer to get althe new Helmer but not sure it will last any longer than the Flipper. I have an Insane and love it with no issues yet. Any recommendations on something that will last as I know with the 44s most bats hit them well just want it to hit them well for a while.

The Future will hold up to 44 or the one. Both will take a little work to open up.

The 13, 14, and 15 ASA only Combats all held up well with the 44s. That's all I ever hit them with as my situation was like yours. No ASA tournies where I lived, but leagues allowed them and hit 44/375 balls. I haven't hit any of the 16s though.

14 Boombah Boss hits the 44's well takes some swings to open up

That Helmer will last twice as long as a flipper would. Any of the Eastons would be a good fit for 44's. Combats can also handle them as jbo mentioned. There won't be a break in period with the Combats though so they'll need to be game only.

derby boys, wanteds, dirtys from 13-15 handle 44's really well and can be had relatively inexpensivly.

It was fun, but not really better than the classic ms at 50 degrees with a freak 30 that i hit now up here.

You have a Legacy in you sig, I use that with the 44's and have had no issues.

CL22ASA is legit with 44 375. No worries. I would not hit the USA or OG Aftermaths too much with 44 375.
