    frenchie ...

    My daughter's school team has got 3 2008 RT's for the team . Here is the Asst. Coach Kevin Yontz hitting some fly balls during pre-game warm-up this week .He was getting some good POP from that 33" RT. In the opening game one girl hit a long HR with a new RT . To early to tell how the bats will hold up for the long term ??? I will let you know.

    we have five on our hs team, but i'm totally bias for the rt period....seems to have more pop than the 2005/2007 models and almost as good as the 2004...have used it in cold weather and holds up quite nicely, doesnt crumple like the 2005 model did.

    two games and three scrimages yielded four home runs, but i believe this kid could have used a wooden bat and hit them out....

    I love this bat...I think it's the best Tech out there...It doesn't have the denting problem some of the older Tech's had...I've had mine since July and it has held up really well...It still has all the pop to it that it had when I bought it...

    This bat is hot.

    I have a 04 model and the 08 and the exit speeds off the barrel are identical. If a player is strong enough to swing the end loaded bat you can't go wrong with the 08 RT. My daughter also had the 05 and 07. She hated the 07. I still see plenty kids hitting bombs with all of them including the 07.

    We also have four on our school team.

    My dd likes the 08 rt says it is like the 04 rt (which is her favorite bat) but has chosen the virus says its much better than the rt she has both.
