EX -WILSON/FACTORY LOUISVILLE SLUGGER Now just enjoying life more not dealing with SP factory drama. taking a break But still having fun and still going to do random videos
@@ronbetzold1543 hey bud. You can always hit me up on fb. Well 2024 has had soooo many good 1 pieces. As of now for me personally my top 1 pieceS OF ALL time. OG DUDLEY is my gamers. IKONIC MAC is PHENOMENAL OG ANARCHY os hot as shit. I love it. Easton fosters are phenomenal bats Short porch blue whiggy I have not hit the new 3 easton/M/W yet. But heard there just fosters. So im sure there great. Anonymous is hot as shit too. Iv just not a fan of lack of performance in the high heat. But in cooler temps its one of the hottest bats made. Just remember everyones swing is diff. Some guys can collapse barrels that some cant and some guys implode bats that some dont. Super fun to try them all.
@@ronbetzold1543 like 50 cuts. Hot weather bats only imo. Myself personally will break them come cold temps. I personally have cold weather bats. Also bp bats. Its a gamer from swing 5-10 for me personally. If that helps.
@@lb161000 firecracker is one of my gamers all year. I like the swing on the helmer better than the foster cause the barrel is shorter. Foster is hot Very!!! This years helmer is stiffer imo. I really like it. Ill prob game the helmer once it cools off a bit. Ill put ikonic away for the summer. Use them in high heat only. Its crazy how good they perform in 110 degrees weather. Easton needs a 12.5 senior 1 piece
@@JasonMcewenJMAC How is the weighting on the Firecracker as being balanced? The only bats i have swung recently that felt true balanced to me are the Miken and Suncoast. all others have felt slightly end loaded or mid load. Thanks!
@@lb161000 so the 27/28 feel true balance. The 26 has a very slight 1/4 oz el feel. I actually like the 26 cause its not overwhelming at all and its just as hot. Plus IKONICS have awsome grip and a taper grip i really like.
@@lb161000 and your right. Not very many companies with true balance. Suncoast is way too balanced. Miken dill can be hit or miss. Iv noticed ikonic 2 piece nails it on good balance feel like a OG DUDLEY bal.
Doesn’t feel as soft yet. Being that its a 2 piece its harder to feel it implode… hope that helps. Easier to feel 1 piece bats implode and or long barrels…
Hit this a few days ago, bat hit a new gear with about 80 swings, swings smooths for a two piece without any noticeable flex for my slower bat speed. You younger guys might get some flex.
You have swung both the Inception and the Dudley Retro. What is your opinion between the two and does the 13" barrel on the Inception make a difference? Thanks
Yes i have a video up of inception. If i had to pick ill say inception. Which is my gamer this year. Yes 13” is better than 12” imo. Inception has more pop and distance specifically out of wrapper.
So far its durable at that 120 hit mark it started changing sound. Started flexing more. NIF/PT/DOOM bal imo are all the same tech. Its good stuff. This feels identical. But not sure it is. But iv got the bal doom and it feels like it and sounds like it. So prob is. Bat has great performance. Pop-distance comes with break in we noticed.
@@JasonMcewenJMAC do you recomend this bat ? And i have another question some people in others contries buy this bat to used in fastpitch like pendulum do you thing this bat resist that tipe of pitch and if it will have the same durable and performance?
Great question. It feels identical to 2023 27 bal doom 1 piece white one. But i cant say for sure. But that 2023 was 🔥.. hard for me to believe they changed anything. 1 its not smart. And 2 they aint that intelligent of a company all of a sudden with 9 years of shitty bats Between OG and doom/retro. My opinion
Young man, That Balance bat sounds good, right out of the wrapper... I do same by hitting off the Tee, with about 100 mixed BP Tattoos spinners, Baden SSUSA Ball and the Worth's Yellow BP balls... I Bought the White EL 28oz... it has about 150+ combination of Live BP and tee work... It has a full ounce load compared to the OG's model... It still has bit more to go before it is game. Dudley so far has done a good job on these retro models... Even though I only swing the Sr. Suncoast and Adidas Bats., I do try other bat company to test them out. Looking forward to seeing how The Dudley response to a live game situation next week Saturday the 16th.... Good luck to you in 2024 season....
Thats so hard cause all 4 are phenomenal. And all 4 could fit everyone different. For me i rate the 1. Inception 2.cali gold 3.foster 4.short porch Ss for performance man they all crush balls. All 4 were a blast to swing. I just got the new dudley RETRO in yesterday or i would have done top 5. So thats my next one to have fun with. And ill have a few 50s guys mixed in.
That CaliGold sounded awesome. I must have got a dud Cali, mine took like 200 hits to start feeling good and then only lasted like another 50 before it busted. I might have to revisit that bat.
@@JasonMcewenJMAC hmm, yeah that was not the experience I had. But there is always a small percentage of duds that get out into the world. My buddy Ben had told me the Caligold is awesome as well. Definitely gonna have to revisit it. Keep it up man!
