Replacing the Flex

[Perdue46]

For obvious reasons, I won't be swinging my flex this year after swinging it for years. I am looking for something with an extended barrel 13" or 13.5" and balanced. Prefer one piece stiff feel but that is not a must. Recommendations?

Check out the Baker, and if no compression testing, maybe a Miken 4tf though not sure on that barrel length.

 

[stork]

2pc though.

Maybe a Mako as well, but again check barrel.

Freak black balanced has a large barrel.

Older Easton bats srv4 or B3

^^This^^

And SY98, S1, B4 from Easton.

Worth Sick Connell is a good, cheaper option. Any of the Miken balanced bats as well.

Ok I have used the srv4 and like it. I might have to go with that. Thanks

 

[Perdue46]

Although since the srv4 is the only one I have used can anyone compare the srv4 to the b3 mako or baker?

 

[u234bob]

Srv4 or sy98.

Aftermath or a stiff dnA. They hit like a one piece.

 

[bpierce208]

I'd go sy98 or srv4 if you use a harder ball...

 

[Perdue46]

We use 52 300s

 

[spartyfaith]

Srv4 will work fine with those, try out some new bats if you like but the srv4 will get you through until you are ready to buy.

SY98 gets my vote

 

[jgerb88]

B4 pretty much the exact same bat minus CNT (so more like extended) only geared toward the .52/300

And you can pick one up for under $100 niw
