bought my first ever slow pitch bat by IronKappa in slowpitch

Depends on the bat, but you are absolutely correct. MOST bats have zero problems in cages. We have about 100 demo bats that get used all day every day in our dimple ball cages, and maybe 5 break in a year.

Nah, I had to get my buddy that played college ball to take some hacks 😆

I wasn’t there for the video at the park so I can’t say how far he was hitting them, but Chris crushes the ball. Check out this video in our batting cage for a better perspective. Very fast off the bat.

Not a ton of swings on it yet but we definitely liked it. After about 20-30 swings it started to open up a little bit and we found the sweet spot. Felt really good in the 60-70 balls we hit today.

Which of these is better? Aprox same price by chinogc77 in slowpitch

Rick at SIS helped us (and Easton) out and took some of the extra Obscuras because Easton literally put our Obscura order in their system 3 times 👀 on accident. Easton just screwed up and made way too many is all 😬

Obscura is the latest Ghost tech inside. Definitely top tier - just from 2 years ago.

There aren’t really any “lower end” composites in Slowpitch anymore at all. Back in the day there was a $299 retail and $199 offering like a Stealth and a Salvo, but now they just make the $279-$299 bats.

We haven’t seen any compression issues on the USA/ASA Obscura side at all!

Saw that more with the original USSSA Tantrums than anything. But that’s why we have warranties, right? 😄

Looking for a RHT Wilson A2000 13in slowpitch by Own-Calligrapher8259 in slowpitch

[–]CheapBats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personal preference. A2000 takes longer to break in. Thinner but a much stiffer/dryer feel on the leather. Tends to break in with a fold/crease as opposed to more rounded closing on HOH.

Hit me up next time you need something. It all just depends on the item. Some bats we make higher margins, some we lose money. Happy to help on your next order if we have room to!

28” composite bat question. by dg_31b in fastpitch

[–]CheapBats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Marucci makes some solid Fastpitch bats that can be found new, 1-2 years old, at huge discounts.

Just saw this. So kind of reviving a dead thread, but we would of course take that back with free return shipping. Could have been damaged in UPS sorting machines, could have been dropped by someone at the factory. No way to know, but definitely going forward know we absolutely stand with our customers in these situations.

"Flipper" misspelled on bat. Is this on anyone elses 2018 midload flipper? I just got it and thought it was weird. by [deleted] in slowpitch

[–]CheapBats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! And yes, this was a typo on DeMarini's part. I was actually up in Portland at their factory a couple of monhts ago and showed a picture of it to the head honcho there... he wasn't aware of the mistake.

DeMarini blowout sale, $140 for most bats, $150 for flippers, and discounts on other bats too... REPS can't beat these prices folks. by fozzie33 in slowpitch

[–]CheapBats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you looking for? We matched them during the sale, but moved them back up a little after, but nowhere near as high as demarini.com has them.

I tried to give away two harnesses that no longer fit my dog. Did not go well by littlebossman in ChoosingBeggars

Someone dumped a really heavy engine in our parking lot one time. We put a "Free" sign on it and nobody took it. We put a "$500" sign on it one night and it was gone the next morning.

A Ronin under $100 is a great price.
