    newest comments about bats are on....

    allaboutfastpitch.com

    Check out the comments and the summary with Staci.

    Take it for what it's worth but 25 pages worth of comments.

    I firmly believe that until your hitting mechanics are solid it doesn't make much difference what bat you are using.

    That being said, I love the Stealth even though it's "shatter rate" is off the charts. My fav is the DM Ph. as it's solid and holds together well!

    Synergy remains solid as the RT but if you don't have quick hands, the RT won't benefit you at all.

    IMHO: Learn how to hit, then find the bat that is comfortable for YOU and that will open up your options. The most expensive bat isn't always the best bat for everyone!

    neither one face being banned, as they adhere to the ASA 2008 guidelines of maxing out at the 98 rating. only difference between the two bats that my kids feel is the techzilla is more balanced and not as end loaded as the rockettech. makes a different sound, but results are the same, boom!!!!!

    for me, the only difference is the dang price, they went up, but i guess with raw materials and gas on the rise, it had to happen.

    now, anderson did have a composite bat, for slowpitch, but they pulled it from the market as it was appartent that they could not slow it down to 98 when it broke in, so back to the drawing board for the fp composite also...

    Louisville Stealth....

    This bat is top notch....but I agree they have a splintering issue
    at the connection......
    Good news, I have yet to hear of them not replacing and honoring the warranty...when filed properly and with the required documentation.

    If you have an issue, Call them, get a RA #, return it to the designated address with a copy of the purchase rec't and they will send you a new one..
