What's the least impressive bat you ever played with?
« on: November 10, 2009, 07:21:30 PM »

This topic may have been discussed before and I don't mean to repeat it over again but just wondering what you guys have experienced?

For me personally, I have not been impressed much with Kookaburra and Slaz.

SS Ton Matrix.. Matrrixxx - Gladiator..

For what they are made out to be nothing special, I personally feel SS has some of the worst handles..

^^ I gotta agree with you. I had an SS Ton Limited Edition. Great bat but the handle split. I emailed pics to SS factory in india on their request to have a new handle replaced but they never cared to reply after several inquiries. Pretty disappointing service.

Had a GM Hero that unless you hit it right out of the screws was absolutley terrible. The only bat I've ever stopped using due to poor performance.
