Title: 2 different weighted xp80's side by side
Post by: Shinpathy on February 20, 2017, 01:15:47 AM

As requested by Ajdal to see the difference between the two.

One is actually 2lb 10.5oz.

Minimal difference in size, the ping on the 2.13 one is slightly better and more springy.

Both pickup exceptionally light, better than some of my 2.9-2.10 bats  :o

My big regret was getting a XP70 as well, it looks tiny compared to these monsters  ;)

No problems!

The XP70 just can't compare in size  :( although ping is still magnificent  :)

This is also 2lb 10oz, the xp80 picks up better.

these look incredible, think im gonna take the plunge and get one, i usually use 2.10, will it be wise to order one a couple oz heavier as they pick up so light @Shinpathy

I guess it is personal preference really, for me the pickup is more important than deadweight.

I have a BAS bat that's 2lb 10.5oz but feels like 2.13+ :S almost feels as heavy as my heaviest Kaboom.

So xp80 feels like a 2.8 I suppose

Beautiful bats.

Has anybody ever ordered anything from KDSport Australia. They have a very tempting sale going on and I'm interested in getting a bat.
