My first DC was the 2017 model (Black/Highlighter DigiCamo) and loved it. Like mentioned before, it felt soft almost immediately out of the wrapper. I also have the new 19 model. I know most of the bats are considered RePaints from year to year but the 2019 model definitely feels stiffer out of the wrapper to me. It feels like it has the potential to match the 17s performance, but just might take a bit longer to get there.
That being said, a friend of mine has the 2018 Orange model, and last year said it just barely passed testing almost immediately after opening it. (USSSA on all of these btw). Probably can't go wrong with any of them, pick your favorite paint scheme lol
