New Guy, New Year, New Bat (CL22 Pinky)

[JJensen22]

Well after years of playing with out having my own bat I finally took the plunge. One of my neighbors is a semi-pro player and recommend the cl22, so I have a 28oz CL22 Pinky on the way.

Previously my bat of choice was a 27/28?oz PST then a 28 Izzy Psycho.

Excited to get some cuts on it! What're the reviews on this bat with 52s?

I just picked one up to hit in cold weather should be a fun bat
to hit.

They're incredibly hot bats, really surprised they are underrated instead of overhyped. I got the 28oz and they're definitely not as end loaded as either of your previous bats, more of a Jeff Hall type .5oz end load IMO.

Cluggy,USA AFTERMATH,CL22 PINKY. I am set for 2015 and these bats crush the 52's.

I'm really surprised at how versatile they are, seems like they perform really well with all balls. Not used to feeling a bat performs well with 52's vs another bat.

Ding ding ding, nice little set up

Very true about performing well with all balls. Straight out of the wrapper I was putting 52's 330' with the pinky. Great stick and very underrated.

 

[JJensen22]

Awesome! I really wish 29oz bats were more readily available.

Willing to bet a 30oz will weigh 29oz

I was going to get a 30, but the end load scared me away because I had read that it's much more noticeable in the 30

 

[chrometip78]

Doubt it, pm Bird25 and he can tell you how the 30 is. He has experience them and most other 30's, should have a good idea of how it compares.

Demarini has been on a roll for awile and the price of these bat is to good to pass up.

If you're lucky. The next 30 oz new stamp demar I get that weighs 30 will b my first.

My 30 oz pinky weighs 29.2.

 

[TRaj2327]

I've also hit a 30 oz and the endload isn't too bad. It just feels like a 29 or 30 oz bat but I didn't think it was a sledgehammer.

 

[bird25]

30 cl22 will be very close to the 28 IZZY.

Which pst are you swinging?

I dont remember what it was, it was an old one... May have even been a 27oz max? It was really hot.

Like i said ive never really been fully committed to a bat, just had some i would gravitate towards on the rack. After the PST cracked i used a Reload 27.5 for a while then last year i started with a balanced worth 454 27 that was too light and went to the Izzy.

I think it'll be alright, especially since ill be playing mostly after work so it'll be easier to get around. If not, i'm sure i can trade it.

I got one when they were on sale and can't wait to use it. How is this going to compare to a flyswatter? I was using it in my USSSA/ASA league and it worked pretty well with the 52/300 balls
