Any idea who these are made by? I searched for other topics and some said SS, some said Hunts County.

From what I've been told they were originally made by Hunts when Mongoose first started however after the first takeover all of the production was shifted to SS - Whether this has changed or not lately I'm unsure but as far as I'm aware they're still made with SS.

Fair enough, I am not too fussed where it was made but it is always nice to know a bit more information about the product.

Anybody used one for a decent amount of time and able to offer feedback about the shape and/or handle?

i have one that i bought off the forum part way through the season. used it in most of the games i played later in the season.

really liked it scored a few runs probably 150-200 during midweek games. hit a couple off the toe that certainly went better then other bats i used. it will be my wet weather bat next year as im going back to my gn nemesis.

what weight did this turn out to be? mines 2.10 and feels lovely in the hand

This one is 2'8.5 and feels okay. I can feel the weight in the toe for sure. I will probably stick another grip on as its a touch skinny.

That's huge, if the ball doesn't get hit to the next country with that you know something's wrong. The pink stickers are nice too
