Interesting...
I have played in 2 local town singlewall leagues for 22 years - see lots of different bats come and go. In the not so strict league we can, and everyone uses, Raw / White Steels. I'm a long time Anderson guy and have a couple of Nano's but if I'm being unbiased they don't compare, in my opinion, to the Steels. Best singlewalls made.
The strict league is a different story. And as EastBay has mentioned in other threads the move to 52s has really helped prolong the life of the better, but fragile, singlewalls. We used to go through many UW's in a season and I wouldn't even consider hitting my Redline Sunbelt until late May. Other top bats were the SuperCells <especially the counter weight Rose and Rickard models>, Ritch's and other Powerdomes, and the Grovers. We are allowed to use the LS C555 and Air Attacks which are pseudo multi walls with bladders - those work well and dent less with the 52s.
The durability issues led me to the Andersons a long time ago and I love my Pyro's, especially the blue-ish / black & red model <forgot the year>. Durable, hits great, and I agree with ya LSX - the ping on some bats is obnoxious. Should be a trivial thing but the crack / thud on the Pyro's sounds better.
So I like the sound on these, they seem to hit pretty well <of course everything LSX swings does...lol>, and I'll be curious how it does vs some of the better singlewalls out there. Nothing against the Worth <I know it's new> and the Flex <which I've seen in league and are not really impressive - or even real Andersons>.
Good luck with these and I'll follow this story. Do yourself a favor though and be sure to put the word 'singlewall' on the bat graphics so idiot league directors can figure it out and not be confused.
