Are the banned Suncoast bats really that much hotter?

[@Bighurt1989]

I like the numbers rankings, in terms of feel with these bat reviews it gives an idea in terms of how the bat performs overall.

[@Bigolepally]

video everyone been waiting for

[@jasonhartman1100]

I swing 27 Marshburn 2.0 and a 27.5 Red Bat because I like a big Endload. You think that I would be comfortable with a 27.5 Kirsten or should I go up to 28.5. I know those black Rukus swung light? Just wanting your opinion?

[@TheBPHero]

The black ones definitely felt light. The white model seemed to be spot on, IMO

[@BigBenBP]

Great comparison!

[@cameronbrooks7256]

Are you going to swing the new dawe as well?

[@TheBPHero]

We just kind of take what makes itself available to us, so no plans to as of now but that's always subject to change.

[@trevormyers9265]

Without EV numbers it’s hard to say which one is better, since ultimately that’s why the black bat was banned

[@TheBPHero]

This is just my other thinking self typing out why radar numbers don't matter to me in this situation. 1) The black bat's loading was less than optimal for my personal preference which is a big factor in producing an accurate radar reading. 2) The white one would have put out a better number since it's got more endload. 3) Compression is nowhere near the same either, which will also yield a different result. I do need to keep the viewer in mind when doing these and try to do more radar stuff even though I am personally not a fan of it. As long as the human is a variable in the equation then it's all just bro science in my eyes, unless there is a huge difference. We do enough of this that I can get a pretty good read on how two bats compare from an EV standpoint, but that doesn't mean that everyone else can.

[@BIGJOHNSONBAILBONDS2]

Great review. No need for reviews to be an hour.

[@AndrewVeronica28]

Why did they ban the blue suncoast austyn Dawes?

[@TheBPHero]

Long story short, USSSA discovered something they didn't like about the handles and the way it was effecting the performance of the bat.

[@AndrewVeronica28]

@@TheBPHero is the bay hot?

[@TheBPHero]

Definitely a good bat. Didn't stand out to me as something that needed to be pulled from play, though.

[@TheBPHero]

@ChadKnasinski please enlighten us with some credible sources then lol. Everything has been such a hush hush deal.

[@AustronesianMullet]

I still don't understand why certain bats deserve to be banned if compression testing exist for tournaments. I suppose it matters if bat companies can sell more bats as a result.

[@TheBPHero]

Has absolutely nothing to do with bat sales. But I'm also not going to pretend like I know all of the science behind compression testing and bat designs. USSSA made a move that they felt was justified based on the information that was presented to them by the company conducting the testing. I do wish there was more transparency behind their findings and reasonings, but maybe doing so compromises information that shouldn't be released.

[@NotCreative479]

I was told it was more about the handle then the barrel. I've swung and still have the TE bat and the ruckus max. Way better than the new ones

[@jamesg3801]

Either way Suncoast should take care of their customers it’s sad

[@TheBPHero]

It indeed has more to do with the handle, but an explanation on how that effects it would be nice. But we have nothing lol

[@AustronesianMullet]

@@TheBPHero Perhaps the handle's affect on EV then.

[@batistag35]

I finally subscribed this whole time I thought I was lol rookie mistake 😂🤣

[@TheBPHero]

At least you got it now!

[@jjrr2273]

maybe I missed it, balls?

[@TheBPHero]

The usual mix. Pro M's, 52's and both Evil BP Balls

[@ClementeGalloJr]

Reinstated?

[@TheBPHero]

Suncoast has filed suit against USSSA to argue the findings done in the additional testing.

[@dttruax]

where the beard? :D

[@TheBPHero]

Gotta get aerodynamic. Tournament coming up! lmao
