Not really worried on the feel of the barrel. I really like how the Uflip/DS had that midload feel to them. I would like to find another DeMarini with the midload feel.The Twisted Mistress will be Closest to them. However those bats have a Divergence Gap Barrel so the feel will be a little bit different on impact. I dont believe they will be duplicating the Uflip/DS moving forward.
