The original Miken Ultra was banned for a reason, was hot beyond measure, also extremely good bats in the 2007 thru 2012 era are the Easton Stealth and Synergy models, check the ASA banned bat lists for the model numbers. If you are playing in a league that allows ANY of the earlier stamped ASA bats, these are also very stout bats with a ton of power and they have ASA 2004 stamps. I have used an EastonSalvo SRV5 for some time because it wasn't banned and i have an Easton Stealth SCN5 34/28 that is better than the new Suncoast Melee Diamond bats in my opinion. I have teammates that have the Suncoast from 26.5 oz thru 29.5 oz and my bat outhits theirs, again, with my swing. If buying a new bat i would recommend the Suncoast Melee Diamond series. Hope this helps. RR

I never swung the original Ultra but people have said it was on the level of swinging a titanium.

I have all titaniums and all ultras. The hottest bat of all time is the Boombah Cannon. By a noticable margin. Any ball type. It was ridiculous.

Cannon well outperforms my Ultra 2 and reebok melee.

No. But a decade ago tom sold me some legends.
I feel like last year was similar to that with me facing 220s that were probably testing 180.

You know it.
Crazy Bat. I actually just think its a yellow rip it repaint
I can't remember what balls we were using when the OG Ultra first came out but the first time my buddy let me swing his I slapped an outside pitch over a 300' fence. That bat was ridiculous. If they hadn't banned them a month later I'd own one today. I still have my Super Freaks.

Super freak is insane. One of my longest balls anyone ever witnessed me hit was a low short pitch and that endload burried right into it.Ball Didnt come down for about 8 seconds. I have been looking for one ever since. The Yellow, pink, red crazy graphicky one. 2014-2016 perhaps

We were using the White Dudley SB-12s and Worth Blue and Red Dots. Scary stuff for a pitcher. A guy hit a ball off of me, with an OG Ultra, that cleared my head by no more than 4-5' and hit the fence about 275' away. Yikes

I recall hitting .40/525 with the ASA UII and SCX2 back in 02-04 maybe ?
Unfreaking believable that nobody died in our leagues

I had a red endloaded U2. It lasted a good 50 swings with Blue dots. I hit some serious bombs with that bat though. 
People forget those were hitting 47/525.
Of course, people easily forget that ten years ago when tattooball was testing balls with the associations that the 40 cor they tested tested more dangerous on the nocsae scale than a 50/525. Ten years ago they knew it did more damage than a red dot, and they've still allowed it this whole time.
