I needs to be mandated. Like here is our search function, and if your question has been asked the answer pops up. Its like we already have this info out there.

don't use the built-in search function here. you are better off using google search cuz it knows most searched keys or keys that have been cached by the google moment you start typing. that smart feature is very handy.
ex: single wall bat site:forums.softballfans.com
at least that is my preference.

That's true. Imagine the nerve of someone asking a softball question in a softball forum. Need to change the name to Joker's Forum.

Scotty,
Here are a couple old reviews/summaries for singlewall bats circa 2014/2015, that are still pretty useful. The 1st was done by Frisco Kid and is a good summary of the available singlewalls (back in 2015). Not much has changed except the L7.0 is no longer made and the L9.0 turned back into the Salvo Scandium in 2015 and is now called a Ronin. The 2nd one was a comparison done by me and several friends (actual feedback from rec league hitters)

your boy isn't too happy sharing his bat because the metal bats only have a few swings in them.....when you get one you are comfortable with you hold onto it for dear life.

Thanks for the information. This is great. Now if I can find one of these. It appears the Anderson NanoTek SPA (ASA) might be the best bet if I can find one then the Easton Raw Power L9.0. Has anyone compared that to the Salvo Scandium? I see that bat on a few websites but if the L9.0 is better, I'll try looking for that.

Easton 1st made the Salvo Scandium in 2012 (SP12SVS), Then changed the name to L9.0 in 2013 (SP13L9), then went back to the Salvo Scandium name in 2015 (SP15SVS). These are basically all the same bats in my opinion. The 26 oz had a 1 oz endload, the 27 oz had a 2 oz endload & he 28 oz had a 3 oz endload. In 2017 they replaced these with the Ronin Alloy which is balanced with no endload.

say chief, do you really need a better bat or just a bat? spend the $ get all the options out and sell/trade what you don't want on here, issue resolved. i've seen dudes hit dingers with Easton Hammers in league so why is it that you need the best single wall? besides, how many HR can you hit in your league? or u just gonna park em all and take the outs?

Answer your question, I bought a Steel bat but found out it's illegal in our League (no 2 piece bats). Is like the best bat possible but at the end of the day, I don't want a piece of sh** bat.

hate to break it to you pal but single wall leagues don't leave you with much of a choice.

New guys don't always get the gentlest treatment here, don't take it personally.
The thing with singlewalls; the difference between a brand-new, high-end $200+ bat and a $20 flea-market mid-'90's TPS is marginal. Some would even argue that some of the older singlewalls (Ritch's Superior, Powerdome, etc.) are better than anything made since. And the beauty of buying an older singlewall for $20-$40; you may love it and it may be all you need, and if it isn't you can sell it for what you paid for it.
