Have to disagree, dads GM original LE is an insane bat, genuinely. Admittedly it did take a month or three to play in, but it has been getting better ever since and it is now 1 and a half years old. Ive used a SAF and I'm sorry to say it was nowhere near as pingtastic as the GM. Salix and Newbery likewise. I think the pressing of GM bats is one of the best features, because it's definitely not the price!
