utrip $150 bat for clinchers

[hookumsnivy]

My company team (not very competitive) is looking to get a new bat for the upcoming season. The budget I've been told to stick to is $150. The hard part is that the league uses clinchers.

I was looking at the 585, Recoil, Virus Enhanced, but I'm open to others. It must be purchased from a legit store and preferably with a warranty just in case.

Any ideas?

A $20 wood bat.

somthing heavy and metal

 

[SuperSurgeMC]

White steel. It can be found for 150.

 

[lightsout85]

X2 for recoil or maybe a synergy 2

 

[jbrennan51488]

yes but a bat about 75-100$ cheaper will hit them just as good

Let me be more clear.
The company is paying for it, so it needs to $150 or less NIW from a reputable dealer.

The 585 or Recoil for instance would be bought from the softballfans store.

Next year they might switch divisions to one that uses a better ball (I don't remember exactly, but it's one of worth's - so not much better) so that influences it as well.

Dave, how's the XL treating you? Pat mentioned Roland broke 1 already.

****, just get the Recoil, 585 or SCX2 and be done with it. It's a clincher, it won't make a difference. might as well get a 30 oz Hammer. At least the Miken or Easton would treat you better next year if you change balls.

Hey there buddy. Ive played in clincher only leagues for 5 years now so Id say Ive hit a few of them. Do a simple search for clincher and bat and youll see the most common referal for these balls is a white steel. Thanks

Did they specify a local and physical store, b/c last I knew the SBF store is, well, a store...both online and with a physical location. You get a receipt so it's not like you're pulling a fast one.

seriously bro..if your speaking of the 16 inch ball...you want to use the heaviest metal single wall you can find

I was referring to the person who suggested the White Steel.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I believe it's the 12" model.

 

[swiftkick27030]

freak plus..........

 

[hookumsnivy]

I didn't think you could get the Freak Plus for $150 or less.

This is NY. We only use the 12 inch version (F12). Some leagues use the harder version of that ball though (Clincher Gold - F12G).

Composites actually do a good job with the ball. It's just that there really is no leap in performance over a good metal bat. My only advice would be to make sure you break in the bat with regular softballs.
