hard to tell the stadiums were endloaded to me too until i hit a balanced bat. it must be somewhere close to a half oz endload which me likey. I also like the N-spec barrel feedback compared to one-series barrels

can someone please tell me the difference in stadium handle and cartel handle?? other than 1" difference in length.. which in turn would make the new bat(being 13" like cartel) would have both cartel barrel and cartel handle.....

metal is metal.. someone is just trying to blow smoke up your ass... ijs.. it has no aspects of the stadium.. which is just.. disappointing.. but then again thats my opinion.. and i think anyone thinking its gonna be like a stadium should go hang out with these people... http://on.natgeo.com/Aol9N0

FWIW , announced on their Facebook about 4 hours ago it will be out in May and be called the Stadium S-ONE. Sounds to me like a ONE series barrel vs. the N-SPEC that I know I was hoping for. I guess you can call this "official".

we all knew n-spec wasnt going to happen fellas.. the price of the materials for the n-spec went way up.. and just isnt really an feasable option... and yes i know the aluminum handle is the same i was just pointing it out.. they had the exact same handles, same as mlc and swagger and i believe legend was also the same.. just the 12" barrel bats had a slightly longer handle than the 13" barreled bats.. this new stick supposedly has been pretty durable they were all swinging it through some pretty cold temps and im sure it took a beatin.. that alone is worth the wait even if it is the same as the cartel just a little more durable and a little more of an endload

the lighter weights of the cartel were balanced and the heavier sizes were max endload. we found a happy medium so we can have a good endload thru out the sizes.

Thank god because that's what sucked about the Cartel, and the Juice for that matter except it got more balanced the heavier you went.

I wish it had a Miken Supermax like endload but even if it's a .5 endload like the Worth reloads that would be fine either way still gonna be a sick bat and will be in my bag..... Looks like it and the Avarice will be the stix in my bag...

Any updates on performance of this bat yet? I'm ready to see some bp video's of this bat and see if it performs as good as my stadium.

I have over 400 cuts on my S1 in 40deg and under weather, Kevin has about the same and they are both going strong!!!!

that explains this S1 dident know what larsen ment but know we all do Stadium S.ONE hopefully there as durable as he said cause 400 cuts from these guys is at least a 1000 from a normal joe:D

The difference is 1" in length, but that can change the balance point of the bat. The barrel length also affects the "flex' in the handle, and endload.

But you are correct... The Cartel and the Stadium have the same handle material...

Correct same material yet og stadium seems like it may have had some flex compared to cartel because of the longer handle.. Not nec flex cause don't need to start that drama lol but def different than cartel handle feel
