I have somehow ended up with 2 bats for the coming season so i thought id do a comparison, although its not really fair considering that i have only used the talisman.
Performance.
What really matters and there isnt alot in it, the fusion is more concaved, as per, and the middle does feel slightly better than the talisman. But the Talisman seems so much more forgiving that this doesnt really matter, with the difference being negligable aswell. The middle on the talisman is most noticeable for continuing higher up the bat which is surprising.
Looks/ Finish.
I quite like both sets of stickers, not that it really matters. Grains wise the fusion is better but again thats somewhat irrelevant. The Talisman has a much better finish, its faultless. The Fusion however looks a little rough in places and theres a few notches out of it, it also looks like it has a cheap asian handle which is surprising, im not sure but but somehow will probably know.
Profile/ pick up
Again not alot in it, both weigh 2.9 on the dot, the Fusion picks up slightly better, but both are very good for the weight... probably down to both having high middles. I spoke to James and he said that the the bat is a new profile hes been trying out, with weight taken from the shoulders and toe to give a larger swell, seems to of worked quite nicely, although he did say it wasnt a drastic change.
