Your one comment about it would be cool if it marked the bat where you hit the ball just get some dr scholls foot power spray and spray it up and it will make a white film and you can see exactly where ur catching the ball and how it came off from that spot
This video doesn't make sense to me.. from the flat pitches in the BP to the evaluation at the end. My league uses the 52-300 tattoo balls & my teammate has the same bat me personally & other players have hit nukes with that DC-41 25th anniversary bat. So I'd strongly disagree with the evaluation of this bat.
i need to try that purple Onyx. I have an orange/blue that I think imploded. Sounds like hitting a pillow. it test about 500 on the tester!!!! Five hundred.
@ClincherCrew1 it's practically the only softball we use out here in our slowpitch and modified leagues. Edit: once smashitsports had these on sale for less than 100, so many people got in on it.
I think Jeff and I (Chris) might be split on this one. Personally, I liked the Ultimate Weapon more. I prefer the stiffer design of a 1 piece bat. I feel it's a little more catered to my swing. I think Jeff hit a bit better with the Steel than the Ultimate Weapon. He prefers more of the 2 piece design. Really, it's gonna come down to what you prefer more. I will say that there will be an adjustment phase with either of these bats. It will require some practice BP to figure them out and hone in on, especially if you're used to swinging composite bats.
Im playing in a coed league and i cant use any of my usual composit bats. Would you say the Ultimate Weapon is a good choice for non composit? Any others youd recommended looking into?
The Ultimate Weapon is a great choice for non-composite leagues. The DeMarini Steel is a solid choice, as is the Miken Maniac. A buddy of mine and his teammates use the Maniac and love it.
So we dedicate our bat reviews to the debeer clinchers, hence the name clincher crew. After some internal team talking we decided to review the bat on the greens and then the clinchers separately that way we cater to a bigger audience. Thanks for the input.
Solid bat. We swung that last season. Matched it up against the Easton Synergy. You can check it out here, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uhx1Xl5oUp8.html
@@BatFlipBP Hell yeah! So many lol. Maybe a 1 piece, we've had our eye on a Genesis or an Easton Tantrum. What’s the best way to reach out to you guys instead of the comments section?

@@ClincherCrew1 Facebook is probably the quickest way to message, I don’t really do all the social media stuff and I rarely check the batflip email, though it does exist. In fact I saw you sent a message. I’ll just reply back to that. But I would say messenger is the quickest, the tab is always open at work.
U guys are awesome I love the content. I hope that isn’t a 200ft. kids baseball field tho. All good if u let us know I’m just saying y’all are probably killing it over that fence.
Thanks for the love and the support, my friend. Lol, definitely not a kids field, it's 300ft to center, the gaps are maybe a little more, then it tapers and gets shorter at the corners.
@@ClincherCrew1 ty atm playing in a coed league in central park for my job and I am using a easton rebel and a old easton s300 speed brigade which is much older and hot from the years of use but the rebel is horrible and really hoping to find something that is great for clinchers
We tested the Easton Rebel, terrible bat. Some of those older Eastons aren't bad. Best bet is to find an Easton with the double barrel tech, pretty much all those bats are great with clinchers, just gotta find one that fits your swing and your preference
@@ClincherCrew1 keep doing what your doing! I love the different perspective hitting clinchers. Maybe I gotta bring the big ball out to our next video 😄
I’ve been swinging the dc41 since the 2019 version. Have had completely different experiences than you guys. Bat was pretty hot out of wrapper. The balls fly off the bat for me, nice response, doesn’t ring up the hands on miss hits, sweet spot is insanely big, no problem placing the ball or going yard with it. To each their own tho, everyone on my team likes short barrels while I’ll always choose a long barrel over a short. Biggest issue I’ve ran into with this bat is end cap issues but all of the models since 2019 have stayed consistent other than changes to the bat knob this year. Nice review, hope you guys do more through the summer
Thanks for the support and the comment. We'll be plenty busy this summer. The DC-41 was a bit of a let down for us. I've read that the 2018, 2019, and 2020 version were hot out of the wrapper like you said. Unless they changed the tech last year or it just needs more breaking in, dunno. Maybe, we'll keep working it in.
I had an old asa one from a few years ago. Took me a lot of swings with green balls to open it up. It was good not great. Curious to see what a krecher or kp23 can do with a clincher.
Yeah, the DC-41 didn't wow us. Might need a lot of breaking in like you said. We had a 2021 ASA Ryan Harvey Krecher. Kinda performed the same as the DC-41 with clinchers. It was decent, but there are better bats with clinchers. The KP23 could be a potential pick up for us soon.
The 2022 DeMarini Ultimate Weapon is a very good aluminum bat. Almost took our top spot in 2023. The Miken Maniac is also pretty solid if you're looking for aluminum.
Yes, the DeMarini Steel is a big go to for a lot of players. We've read about the Windy City, heard that's a top choice for Chicago style 16" clincher balls.
Thanks for the question. With clinchers, tough to give a real definitive answer on that one, as we've only tested a few USSSA bats. We think, although not 100% certain, USA/ASA bats are more suited for clinchers. USA/ASA are designed for softer compression balls, like Hot Dots. But, this is just our theory right now, still in the laboratory trying to nail that one down. It might really depend on the bat and its construction.
We don't typically try to cut the bat, although it is a very popular technique in the softball atmosphere. In the leagues we've played in using clinchers, we've never seen anyone try it. I would assume since the clincher balls are so soft, a technique like that would not translate like it would on the harder hot dot or evil bp balls.
Have you guys swung the DeMarini Steel? If I'm in a non composite league, which bat would you suggest. Everyone tells me DeMarini Steel is only real choice but the Ronin 240 looks decent and so does Worth SuperCell EST.. maybe even a few others
Only the 2022 Steel version, off-camera, which we didn't love. If you can find a 2020 Steel, I'd grab that, but they can be expensive, even a used one. The Ronin we swung was ok, we believe there are better alloy bats out there for clinchers. Gonna look into the Worth Supercell, as others have mentioned that bat before.
Great question. The Maniac is a solid alloy bat, especially for the price. We know the Steel is a go to for a lot of players in non-composite leagues. I believe the 2020 model and some of the very earlier models were quite good, but they are hard to find. We've only swung the 2022 model which was decent. Our preference for an all alloy bat would be the DeMarini Ultimate Weapon, but again, you can't go wrong with the Maniac or the Steel.
The tech is slightly different in USSSA bats as opposed to USA/ASA bats. Can't say if one or the other is better at hitting the clinchers. We have a handfull of USSSA bats we are planning to test out this coming Spring to answer that question as its been on our mind as well.
We do have a Monsta Pride and DB44. We currently just pre-ordered the new Torch model coming out, so hopefully we get that in the next month or so. We can definitely do a video on all of our Monsta bats for you!
Thank you. I’m not sure where you guys are but I’m in NY and the clinchers are taking over leagues especially modified leagues. It’s been so hard to judge bat reviews of newer brands or bats so I appreciate y’all.
We are based in NY as well, we feel your pain!! One of the main reasons we started this channel because it is so hard to judge bat reviews with these balls (since a lot of reviews use the hot dot). We have a few more videos to come in our battle. Also looking for bats to try out this year. If you see any that you have in mind let us know!! Thanks for the Support!
