Distance10One of the best from the non ASA line. Great pop & overall performance. This is as close to the original Freak as you can get, but a little hotter. If you are a non ASA player I would recomend this one....

Distance10This is the third season sharing this bat with 5-6 guys. Yesterday was opening day and three guys popped em over the 300' fence. This bat was great right out of the wrapper and when you hit that sweet spot that ball is gone. Getting better with more use. If your in a USSSA league this is the bat to buy. Now quit thinking about and buy the bat already.

Distance10Took this bat out of the rapper and hit the ball 310+. The thing about that is I wasn't trying to do that My target was between third and second. Swung down on the ball a hit a line drive. My next up at bat I swung for the fence and hit it about 340ft with little effort. This one is nasty!!!

Distance9I bought this bat last year afer swinging a freinds and absolutely love it. We have been hitting on weekends and it's getting hotter and hotter the more I hit it. I would have to say I have more than 1500 swings on it including some bating cage and no signs of cracking...Nothing but bag and ground scratches on it. My wife bought me a Mayhem for my birthday last year, couldn't tell you how I like it, ecause I can't put my Freak down!

Distance10This bat (30oz) did not require any break-in period, producing some nasty hits right away. The bat feels slightly end-loaded, but swings easily, and has a very responsive sweet spot. The only downfall is that the end cap is starting to come loose after perhaps 50 hits.

GUESS what they cant even come close.This bat is the best in Distance POp and feel.FOR a composite bat the Durability is good also.Did I mention the huge sweet spot.SO for all you pretenders take a hike this bat is the KING.

Distance10This bat is hot right out of the wrapper. Been playing for 4 yrs., and I have only hit 1 out of the park. A friend of mine bought a 30oz., and next thing you know I hit 2 in 1 game. So I decided to buy my own, 28oz., since I got it, that first night on the first swing...gone, 330ft plus. Since then I have hit at least 1 every game, and the line drives are knuckle drives, too hard to handle. Get yourself one, best purchase I made.

Distance10This bat is by far the easiest bat to hit long! I used a Mizuno Crush 2 28oz. before using this bat (26 oz.) and this bat is easily 5x easier to hit. The sweet spot is probably twice the size of the Crush 2. Nice smooth swings will get you deep liners to the outfield. Haven't hit a homerun with it yet, although I've only played one game with it and no BP (3 swings - 2 doubles and 1 triple, going 3/3). I am not a homerun hitter by trade, but this bat may just turn me into one yet. The hits that I did get with it were the hardest that I have ever hit!A couple of my teamates used it during the game, and they aren't homerun hitters either...each of them parked it over the short fence in left field.The only issue I have with this bat is that after just one game the grip began to unravel at the butt of the bat. It's one of the best feeling grips that I've felt, just wish it was more durable.The wrap isn't hard to replace, so it won't be that bad, but hopefully the rest of the bat stays in tact.

Distance10I'm usually skeptical about reviews I read, but those about this bat are true. I have been playing 20+ years and this bat is the hottest bat I have ever used. The sweet spot is huge and the ball jumps off of this bat. I hit a line drives to third in two different games and the third baseman couldn't get his glove up fast enough to glove it. If you can't hit it out with this bat, you probably never will. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Distance10Good distance and pop ground balls are difficult to field because of the speed of the ball. add 35 40 feet on to your distance NO JOKE takes awhile to get use to though. plus the 28 oz feels much lighter i suggest going heavier all in all a good bat worth the money if your in a non asa league

Distance10This bat is just awesome. I am not a homerun hitter at all but I have taken 2 out in 2 games with this bat. In my previous 12 years of playing I had only hit 2 homeruns. And the line drives go to the fence. I have a 27 oz and it feels a little lite. I haven't had the bat very long so I can't say how the durability is but so far so good. Buy this bat.

Distance10This bat is just sick. Right out of the wrapper it hits screaming knuckle ball line drivers. Once you get a few cuts on it then comes the distance and its unreal. I wasn't sure that this bat would be hotter than the orginal freak, and after hitting it. This bat is hotter, and is very close to the ultra 2 in feeling. It has a very forgiving sweetspot. I would recommend picking one up from batsbatsbats.com...... thx. again shane.
