Built for comfort
Well I'm sure you have seen countless accounts relating to newer composites of:
- "This bat wasn't hot out of the wrapper but after "X" amount of swings, it has opened up."
So either the generalization that all newer bats (or most) no longer require any breaking in is incorrect....or, the people insisting that after hits the bat has improved, are just plain crazy or misinformed.........lol
Newer composites do get "better" after some swings, but they're good enough to game fresh out of the wrapper. Compared to 10+ years ago when a lot of bats were pretty much unusable when new and needed hundreds of swings to even start getting good.
If you buy a newer bat and play where you're going to see compression testing, any BP swings you take are gonna chew up the life expectancy of your bat.
