Better than a DC Psycho? Really? That's a bold statement.

Sonic has around 500 cuts on it now and wow is it loud!! Not as much "ping" sound to it any more. Balls are really jumping off the barrel now.

I had to buy one to see. I picked up a 28.5 oz since I normally swing 30 oz. First b.p. I was impressed. It had good pop and good distance. Not quite the pop of my 30 oz 2015 Resmondo Worth Legit or Miken Freak Black, but the distance was right up there, especially with the .52's. It reminded me of my reissue endload z2k but with more junk in the trunk. When I got home, I ordered another one. It could become my gamer because of the extra endload it has- much more than my Mikens or Worth. Love the feel more than my Triads, Freak Black, Demarini CL22, or Worth Res Legit. Cant wait to get more hits on it and see. May use it tomorrow in my first league game.

Around 700 swings after tonight and when I dropped the bat once it had a very distinct buzz/rattle as if something was loose inside. Anybody else experience this? I can't feel anything when I shake it in my hands, only when bounced off the ground.

I'll have to try that with mine in the morning and see. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The Legits (I know they're completely different bats) sound like that when they get enough swings on them.

Alright. I've never had a buzz or rattle in any of my bats so I didn't wanna blow it up before it gets really hot.

I own both a z4 backman and a sonic +, both 26.5 and were NIW as of last weekend. I am looking forward to putting many, many more swings on them. Backman felt much softer than the stiffer Sonic + which does have a very distinct sound on contact. I gotta say tho, out of the wrapper the backman was hitting better. Perhaps that will change going forward...

Just wait, around 1K is when you'll start to see the beast unleashed, and it only gets nastier from there. Mine was good early on and got better and better, but around 2500 swings is when it became a howitzer.

I guess it's just the handle rod. First league night and I had the catcher on the other team questioning my bat though.

That catcher sounds like a douche, I wouldn't worry about it.

Some people have been having issues with the endload coming loose.

I had this happen to one of mine. I think it was due to a teammate hitting a ball off the endcap. It was a weird sound to say the least. Sounded like the inner sleeve came loose as you had to shake it to hear it. It also happened when you swung it. LS returned it no questions asked.

Anyone notice Harvey hasn't been swinging the Solo Z very much?

I saw some videos from this last weekend in Euless, TX that he was swinging it.

He does, but he's always switching back and forth. Never seen someone (at that level) switch bats as much as he does.

right but that guy could hit with a broom stick if he needed to.

No argument there. Just noticed after putting the Sonic on the map that he doesn't swing the Solo Z very much.
I saw that. Hmm....
From what I've heard the changes made to the Solo Z make it slightly less desirable than the sonic was, maybe that's why Ryan is bouncing around to find something he likes. I'd imagine per his contract with LS he has to swing a current bat, or he'd likely still be swinging the sonic lol

That's kind of what I'm thinking as well.
