How does the Worth Freedom series compare to the Miken Pro series? Very similar price point, wondering if one has a higher quality leather etc. Here in 2023.

Want to sell more bats? Outlaw all the bats that dont break, and rip off thousands of customers. Then make bats that can only hit certain balls and will break if you dont do it right. You guys ruined the sport to make money.

Does the knob of the bat torque the hell out of your bottom hand palm after your swing when you take some fingers off? That’s the issue I’m having with removing the bottom hand. The knob will twist and bruise my inner knuckles on the follow through.
@alantanner8236 Жыл бұрын
Generally it does not. Don’t over grip the bat but consider a SLIGHTLY firmer bottom hand grip and possibly some slightly thicker batting gloves. My Team 1 gloves are thick enough to resist this but still give good feeling on the bat.

Is there a better way to reach out, I noticed your comments are turned off for new videos. I just wanted an opinion on what bat I should get. I've played baseball all my life, was on travel and all star teams till high school and played through senior year, but needed TJ and had to quit before the end of the final year. I'm playing again finally, but slow pitch softball. I'm not big I'm 5'9 145lb, but I hit a few line drives off to the wall already. I have been using my buddies bats mostly, their Miken Dc-41 supermax 27oz bats (they have the 2020 and 2021 version). I think I need something 26 oz but same end load. I also think maybe a smaller sweet-spot like a 12" barrel might do the trick to get the ball just a few feet higher and over the wall. I typically hit line drives with the 27 oz, and would think the 12" would also help with having more weight towards the end of the bat to keep the bat just a bit lower so the line drives make it through the infield without a problem. Do you think I have the right idea or what else am I missing?

I know this is an older video but I was curious what miken glove on the market today would be most comparable to the koalition series? I had a 13 inch koalition for years and I lost it a few weeks ago. I'm just wanting to get which even miken glove between the pro series, player series, and player series+ that is the closet to the same as the koalition series I had. Thanks for any info.
@alantanner8236 Жыл бұрын
I know the glove and those were certainly nice. Our new Pro Series from Miken should be out in about a month and matches up to the Koalition well

@alantanner8236 Жыл бұрын
It’s all about feel and longevity. The pro series leather is a little bit stiffer and holds shape a bit longer. Mine was 4 years old with ALOT of use and still perfectly fine to use. The Player Series breaks in very fast and is a great value for your money with a little softer leather

The league I play in uses ASA 52/300 balls but does not care if you use an ASA or USSSA bat. I know ASA bats perform better with ASA balls, however as it gets colder, like low 50’s, would a USSSA bat work better since the cold temp makes those 52/300 balls harder?

Alan, i last played softball around 1999. the last bat i bought is a Worth SuperCell EST. it has C405 and CRYOGENIC + on the barrel. educate me on the difference in todays bats and balls versus what we used back in the day. as for the balls we used, we were using blue dots and thunder reds, 47 core. now that i think about it, Demarini bats were just becoming popular when my playing days were coming to a end. thanks

Bats and balls have changed drastically. Compost bats have created home run hitters that were never home run hitters in yesteryear. However, they certainly bring some life back into the game Espino for us senior players.

Alan, I was able to get my hands on an in the wrapper 2020 Ryan Harvey Krecher ASA bat which are now very difficult to obtain. Did I hear you correctly on this video that you can use the 44/375 with this bat? If so, that would certainly help in the break-in process. However, if this statement was a mistake I don't want to take the chance of cracking it using a hard ball. Please clarify. Thank you.
