INITIAL SWINGS REVIEW - Suncoast Backlash, for ASA

[@FatGuyBP]

This is my favorite Whiplash 2 ! You have to put quite a few swings on it but it will hang with Monsta and Pure. Love that you can get these in heavier weights. Once it gets that cracking sound then watch out! Great review! Completely agree with you on the feel of the bat also.

[@bathound]

That is great to hear, thanks for the update! I'm all the more excited to get more swings on this!

[@brycebiskis1258]

​@@bathound wondering if you've got some swings on it. And how does it compare with Pures offerings?

[@BatFlipBP]

I've been waiting so patiently for you to get to this one. I must say, I'm still conflicted by this one. So many bats can be had for way less money I just don't know if I can justify the price.

[@donalda8017]

With no rep discount either ...imo Suncoast misses out on alot of sales with that decision

[@bathound]

Well if you don't end up getting ahold of one I can send this one down to ya. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@BatFlipBP]

@@bathound and that's why your the best!

Spring is upon us!! Nice new jersey? This bat looks good!!

[@bathound]

The seasons are just around the snowy corner haha! I still have some work to do to get ready.

I am a senior softball player and am more of a line drive hitter. Maybe slightly above average. I was needing to get a new USA bat for a few of my tournaments. Was wondering if I should get the 12" or the 13" barrel. Any thoughts. Hoping to get a little more distance out of these bats. Thanks Red

[@bathound]

Sorry for my delay. I like the feel of the 12" more than the 13" balanced. However, I currently get better performance from the 13". I've seen someone absolutely smash with the 12" and I'm hoping with more swings mine will perform better. But currently I have to give it to the 13".

[@BigBenBP]

Great video! Look forward to getting my hands on one to swing!

[@bathound]

Thanks for watching! We would all be interested in your thoughts!

[@stevenjeffrey7]

Sinister came in last place! Don't think I've ever seen that on this KZbin Channel before haha! ;)

[@bathound]

Oh good point! This could be an interesting season!

[@ericdavid5269]

I have the 13in, and it is definitely hot out of the wrapper! I can't cut a ball to save my life, but I did manage to accidentally get one with this bat! I never had a ball move so much in my life!

[@bathound]

thanks for the update! Did you happen to try the one from a couple years ago? If so, how do the two compare? It sounded like they did make some changes to the 2.0 version, but I can't say from experience. Perhaps I will pick up a 13" model along the way.

[@ericdavid5269]

​@@bathound I was going to grab the original one until the new one dropped, so I've never swung the first model. I'm definitely not disappointed with what I have though.

[@bathound]

@@ericdavid5269 Gotcha. Well that is great to hear either way!

[@batbossbp8091]

I gotta try one of these now I wasn’t a fan of there original backlash but looks like with some breaking in it’ll be a great bat 😳Great review as always!!

[@bathound]

The feel of this one is simply amazing in my opinion. Just fun to swing if for nothing else because it feels so great in the swing.

[@batbossbp8091]

@@bathound it’s also great that they have a bat that can hit any ball because for the average player they won’t have to worry about if they should use their bat in any situation

[@bathound]

@@batbossbp8091 Yeah I agree.

[@brianbanks3044]

if it's like the first model Backlash, it is going to crush 44s....i have hit some of my farthest balls 44s with this bat

[@bathound]

Great to hear, thanks for the info! That makes me eager to get more swings on this to see where it can go.

[@rogermcdonald450]

You gonna do the new nihilist

[@bathound]

I suppose I should try the Nihilist again this year if I can pick one up.
