Newbery Blitz OR Hell4Leather Warbird
« on: September 26, 2016, 06:20:38 PM »

Folks,

I am contemplating my choices for shorter format and these are my options. The criteria for selection are listed below:

- sufficient bow for shot elevation
- Sheer power for shots
- middle for both front and back-foot shots
- Soft press for rapid match readiness
- Confiugured for bat speed (weight between 2-11 and 2-12)
- Thin oval/semi-oval handle
- Prefer performance  or ping over looks of the face or number of grains.
- Can adjust bottom heavy bat with a second grip, prefer nicely balanced bat.
- Edge size and concaving (or lack of) are irrelevant .

Warbird all the way, the counterbalance handle is nice, and nice and thin as you wish!

Depends whether you can find a blitz like Simon Mays one, but from what I understand that was quite a rarity and to be honest from the others I have seen the blitz seem to be quite hit and miss so I'd choose the warbird purely for the constancy that very H4L I have seen has performed exceptionally well
