Anyone swing either of these bats? Looking for some feedback on them
I have swung the Demarini balanced this year. For me at least it had a quick break-in (less than 50 swings and it's good for games only) Not sure about the durability on them but really like how they swing. This is for the 2020 model, the 2021 model was good from about swing 5 so I would have no issue gaming it right away. Any other questions, feel free to ask here or email msw4indy@gmail.com
Okay, finally got my 2021 Naughtalai in and a chance to BP it. Does feel good right out of the wrapper and agree that it is pretty much game ready after very few swings. Nine is a 27oz balanced. IMO, it feels light a mid-load when you pick it up and swings like a mid-load/end-load. I don't usually like balanced bats but I can/will make an exception for this bat because I get the same performance as my end-loads. Definitely has a spot in my bag as a light BP and back-up gamer.
Thanks for trying the 2021 Sr Nautalai. We feel the PS balanced model is as good as any on the market. If you like the feel of the midload, but want to take advantage of the giant sweet spot on the balanced, just go up an oz in the balanced. Several guys on our Kelleher/LeMay squad have switched to the balanced Natty and love it.
