bought the reflex extended cuz it seems to generally be regarded as a decent single wall bat. and i bought the other 2 cuz they were dirt cheap. after taking BP with all 3, i found i got WAY better hits off the grand slam and the bottom easton. the extended felt awful to me. anyone familiar with these other bats? is it normal for them to hit that well or was my BP an anomaly?

When was the Reflex Extended considered a good singlewall? The only one that's really worthwhile as far as I recall is the Reflex Ultra, which is a C-Core model.

29 oz, you say?
The thing is, if the weighting of a bat fits you you'll probably hit pretty well with it. Might just be that that bat fit your swing. Not saying it will outperform better made bats, just that it won't hit as crappy as you might expect if it fits you.

Eh, actually my composites have decreased at the same rate recently. I've narrowed things down to bats I may actually swing, plus the SCN2 because my teammates like it. I just can't get the feel for it.

Right now, all I swing is my Matrix. I have such a good feel for it, almost can't miss the sweet spot right now. The Virus I picked up because it has a shorter barrel, and like I expected I hit it better than the longer barreled SCN2. If I could find another bat that emulated the feel of the Matrix, metal or composite, I'd sell off my SCN2 and/or my CV12 to get it. Only reason I picked up the CV12 was because it was an outstanding deal.

Unfortunately, leagues around here banned Mikens. Being as I don't play tourney ball at the moment, no point in owning a bat I can't use. Otherwise, I would already own a Miken. Been wanting to try one out, in part because I've seen a few in 29 oz and that isn't easy to find anymore.

Just noticed too, looking through their current lineup on their website, they don't seem to make any "short barreled" bats. At least none of the one's with the barrel length listed were below 14". I seem to hit alot better when the barrel is 13" or less.

swung both bats tonight in a game, twice each. 2 embarrassingly pathetic hits with the grand slam (so maybe the BP was a fluke) and 2 good hits (1 pretty monstrous) from the easton. the easton actually felt pretty great.
