In the market for a new bat, thinking about the DeMarini: The One MLC.

Any thoughts? Other than Ram has a bat....[ram27bat]

I swing Combat and would recommend them to anyone. Do you play ASA or UTrip?

ASA.....Have had my current DeMarini for quite a few years. Think it's about time to upgrade.

Damn I had a full reply post and lost it.... cliff notes version

Combat works for my swing and I have never swung a ASA DeMarini that I liked. check out softballfans.com/forums for more opinions on all brands.. good luck

I have 4 TPS bats. I love them for the price. Now If I had a bunch of money, I would probably get a miken. There is a team in my league that uses a miken and everyone on there team hits it harder then we do. Its really not fair. Not sure if its on the banned bat list or not. The umps don't really check. And If it just says ASA or NSA or any of those groups, they let it go.

Our umps check em all, and all composite bats have to pass a compression test at the field and get a sticker at the start of the season.

Had a guy with the Miken Freak that had an ASA stamp and failed the field inspection last fall.

As many sports places around here, I'm looking for a place to demo some before I buy.
