hahahaha, played them three times in that tourney and then in the finals at Konkel that same Saturday haha.

that is a short one = 277. Pop outs become home runs there.

thanks for watching!

thanks for watching!

Yeah they run things well in that league. It is just a little distance from me so I only played the league minimum of four games to be eligible for the final playoffs week.

crazy!!! Its surprising how much pop it has though.

That is a good question. I must say I've never really thought about that aspect much. I had found that especially the first several games of each year I struggled to get timing and strike zone in place. What I've seen help me the most with that is getting myself the Pop Toss so I could be out taking bp with a moving ball whenever time allows because I don't need a pitcher. It doesn't get the full distance of a game, but it is still getting the arc and the moving ball.

Nice! I gamed the Juggy for years and it still has a sweet spot in my heart. The Juggy swings light compared to sticker generally speaking. I must say getting adjusted to the midload did take a little while. My first Torch I didn't care for. Then I got a Sinister and got more swings on it and suddenly it all clicked. So I would just recommend getting more swings on it.

@@bathound Yeah i agree, I kept topping the ball on the sinister in game and hitting grounders cause its so heavy. Had a 26 oz juggy. Glad to know it gets better haha I’ll keep at it. Actually bought the sinister cause I saw your video! Keep it up God bless you

I've gamed a Sinister in the 20's but I don't recommend that! Under 50 is best to consider something else. Technically Monsta is rated down to 40 but the ball gets harder under 50 so they say to not go under that.

hahahaha. I believe that thing has a 3oz end load! Next year I need to give that one some game swings and see what it can do.

wow very impressive! it is truly amazing!

Yeah that was a whole different ball game. I think it would be fun to get more games in next year if I can.

I'd like to get a few more games in next year. It sure was fun. But wow is that crazy!! I felt bad going middle on that one. Certainly didn't try to!

hahahaha right! That was a blast - who different game.

I’ve never found a sinister repaint I didn’t like to swing. Whichever has more swings on it is my preferred haha. Doesn’t matter the flex / stiffness, but just what is most broken in.

I ordered one in 25oz and one in 26oz

This one is at that fun level where you realize it might be breaking soon.

He’s DH

I played outfield for many years of baseball and softball. I prefer to play infield now when able so I limit throwing. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or pitch, or middle.

I’m a big fan of it. Currently preferring the 25oz but still breaking in a 26oz.

@@bathound did it take awhile to get used to the small barrel?

@@loganstewart6092 sorry I forgot to respond! Some days it does take me a bit. But generally I try not to think about it and don't notice a difference in that regard.

Thanks for watching!

close one. Might have to go with the Alpha on that one.

There is an ASA/ USA model.

@@ericsun7918 oh coool!!

hahahahahaha

way better than I expected!

thanks for watching! Sad to see those bad swings :(

Thanks for watching! If you are looking for a Monsta and want to have it available when paying, it is sometimes best to go through one of there distributers or a Monsta rep. Places like EHP Athletics, All American Athletics, and the like, might have some on their websites.

That field allows more than others around here. They allow 7. Most others that I know play at are either 4 or 5.

Not sure. And you get a swinging strike. Most fields around here do not give you a swinging strike and don't require running the bases.

I think it's to give the score keepers time to mark the stats correctly. In this league, they keep track of stats and announce the game.

@@jeremiahkolander894 good point. they do a good job at that. Only place around here that does this to my knowledge.

Crazy how well such a light bat can hit the ball.

I like the Proton Smith more than the Hot Butter because it has performed better for me. I get better performance with the end loaded model of it.

They feel fairly similar in the swing. The 25oz SB1 scales lighter though, at 24.4oz, and the 26oz is 25.8. So it does feel lighter and heavier than the average Sinister. Performance it is getting very close. The SB1 takes longer to break in though.
