Sept. 19, 2014 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | They make a BLACK Flame model also about 20 more but slightly better also. |
Sept. 19, 2014 Hit the gap Men's 70 154 posts | Is this a balanced or EL bat? |

Sept. 20, 2014 Hit the gap Men's 70 154 posts | Are there plans for a balanced model? |
Sept. 20, 2014 tattooball 774 posts | Yes this is only 1 of 20 bat designs done. balanced will be for spring release along with maybe a little league and ASA bat. |
Sept. 20, 2014 PJ3P Men's 50 94 posts | TerryN you are welcome. The Blue Flame I am using is about 3 years old. It is extremely adjustable and is currently set to throw a 12' arc. As its names implies [UPM45] it pitches to 45 mph. The Black Flame machine UPM60 throws up to 60mph. You can quite easily dial in whatever arc you want and it is very consistent. The only variable being the weight of each ball. |
Sept. 23, 2014 grayhitter59 Men's 60 343 posts | Pat looks like the "Nightmare" is dead on. My 28oz is doing just as well. I have several into the trees in Pompano 4 fields and if feels like I have yet to break in the bat. I only have about 100 swings on mine. |
Sept. 23, 2014 SacFly23 Men's 50 5 posts | grayhitter59 how does it compare to the Melee, a few season ago I went to Pompano to play with you (I drove from Ft. Myers) I've been swinging the Melee since, I used yours. |
Sept. 24, 2014 grayhitter59 Men's 60 343 posts | The Melee is a very good bat, this "nightmare" is a different feel because it's a 2 piece. the ball is traveling just as far if not further. The thing is this bat feels like it will outlast the Melee by 3 times as many swings. I have broken so many Melee's in the past at $175.00 the cost of swinging is too much and for the same performance I believe if you can adapt to the 2 piece feel this is the bat to buy. |
