One of the best bats i have seen in a long time. Pick up for a 2lb 13oz bat bat is amazing...more like 2lb 10oz

not wishing to hijack this thread but how long can a bat perform well at before the sweet spot dies which i thought was normal... 5 years seems a long time but encouraging if it doesn't break before then... is it more luck ?

I don't score many runs (as you may find out)

It's fair to say it's been in rotation with others over the years....
