As the title says, I need to level my skill with the competition. What's the worst?

It's why I went from Monsta to Miken. Now they're making some bats in 27oz again, but the whole "**** all of you lets go to 25oz everything because muh bat speed" mantra made me never want to do business with them again.

I don't swing Monstas and never will, but any bat company that takes this stance is idiotic. I actually did hit a few balls with one of those 25 oz Monstas. It was pathetically light.

Plus, I have zero desire to order a bat online and hope it shows up within 6 months. By that time I'll forget I ordered it and won't even want it anymore.

The worst composite ASA bat I've probably ever swung was the reveal. OMG they're BAAADDDD.

Never swung a monsta but I have swung a 25oz bat and don't understand the hype at all. I will say I was less fatigued after bp though. Easton reveal was absolute garbage for sure

Miken vicious and green worth toxic, why I bought these no idea, both freaking tanks and great “base hit” bats me and teammates bped these for like 2 years with 44’s and never did they get soft, got better with like 3000 hits, but the only ones I ever saw good where either rolled/shaved

Miken Freak Turbo trumps the Easton Reveal. You guys probably haven't heard of them, I think they were exclusive to a chain of Canadian stores. Composite outside an aluminum sleeve. They felt worse than the Reveal, there was not a spot on the barrel that didn't rattle your hands. Wood bat performance AND they were prone to snapping clean off at the handle. At least the Reveal had good durability. ;)

Miken edge was actually a pretty good bat once broken in. It just needed more endload.

I had an Edge. Every once in a while it would produce good distance, but most of the time it felt like crap. I liked the very short barrel concept, but the Edge simply wasn't a good bat. If Easton made a 10" barrel bat it would be a winner. Big endload too.

Miken edge sounds a lot like my Easton lx.0 dual stamp. A lot of people loved the lx.0, I absolutely hate it. Worse stingers I've ever felt even after 1000 hits, tiny sweet spot. Surprising pop every once in awhile.

I have an LX0 and hate it too. Thing is, its still better than the Edge was. The LX0 is a great bat for keeping the ball in the yard when your team is out of HRs.

STS3 had a 10" barrel. Probably not what you meant.

It had a 10" barrel, of course it's SS was small. I never had any trouble finding it. Maybe it just fit me. We also broke my first one in in the very cold with a bunch of baseball players.

I don't fully understand this response, but are you stating that you saw a shaved Miken Vicious or Worth Toxic? ... Confused because they are both alloy.
