Just got word, that only a Utrip Endloaded Crush model will be sold in the US. First batch sold out quickly.

Let's get more feedback from those who have put swings on them.

I hit the demo and there's a video of me hitting it on the the all the way live facebook page. Bat was new out of the wrapper when I swung it. Honestly I haven't swung a mizuno since the craze but it felt really good. The sweet spot felt huge on this bat and the exit speed and distance was nice the ball was going 300ft with ease off this bat. The bat has a good size endload and the weight I swung was a 27oz, normally I hit 26oz bats but it wasn't a major adjustment going up an oz, The sound and exit speed are on par with the other brands and I really can't wait to try a 26oz. Honestly if I knew how to post videos I would but I don't. Really hitting this bat makes me want to try last years nighthawk. I'm not one to compare this brand to that brand but this bat has a slightly stiff barrel and the sound is really cool. From my swings it's right there with the other top brand u-trip bats if you ask me. I'm going to swing this bad boy this year.

I’m curious to see what the actual barrel length is. I would love it to be a true 12” but their Nighthawk was supposedly a 12.5” and was more like a 15”.

I saw the pic geezer. Thank you. But I’m more curious of how it measures out with other manufactures 12” barrels. I am guessing it will be in between a 14” and 12” from Miken or 13.5 and 12” from Easton considering the previous Nighthawks were called a 12.5 and measured out to the same as the longer barreled versions from other manufacturers.

Worth 12 inch is still the shortest.
One thing I like so far is the Crush has a comparable full ounce endload to the Fulks

Posted some swings with this Bat over in the media section. I, along with some of the others there were surprised. It opened up really well by the end of the day.
