looking for the standard issue bat based on several videos i watched. I played many years ago and passed along to my son who is having a birthday soon and id like to a DeMarini 26.5 using your discount. I stumbled upon your videos and just enjoyed the way you broke everything down. the sites you provided doesn't have them and im striking out everywhere else. My son plays in tournaments and even played in worlds last season. Appreciate any help with this.
Hey man. Fellow New Mexican, born and raised in Albuquerque. Love your videos! I’m back and forth between the Vice and Iron Man. Which should I go with?
What up man? I would say the deciding factor is whether or not you want Balanced or Endload. I prefer the Vice because I like endloaded bats but that’ll be the deciding factor. If you decide you want a Vice I have 4 - 25oz Vice’s left at my house I could ship to you in the AM so you get it next day being in Albuquerque Feel free to text us at 575-249-5251
I have a standard issue and its definitely gas but i think the hottest bat in my bag is my Axe Flared EL. Imo its hotter then my genny and my standard issue and if you like a knob cuff or a pyramid grip on your bat, it doesnt feel much different in your hand.
Yeah I really like the Flared handles. Only reason we have it at #4 on our list is because we’ve gotten feedback about a slight adjustment period so we factored that in. But yes the Axe is insanely good
Seems based on ur video the demarini is the hottest. But what about the new endloaded genesis bats (as opposed to balanced) vs the demarini in terms of how hot it gets? Assume it would be the same or hotter ? Or am I wrong ?
I think we’re reaching a point again in Slowpitch when everything is hot and it’ll be personal preference on what you swing. However, out of these 3 bats I give a slight edge to the Standard Issue overall but the margin of difference in these 3 bats is miniscule
Great video! I switched to LS from Demarini last year. I’m preferring long barrels right now. With the distance the SI was getting, do you think it’s worth the try?
I think so, I really like the SI and it has a great feel to it as well. If you decide to grab one either message us or use this link for a discount and free shipping. www.headbangersports.com/?rfsn=6758280.9682f7
@@AverageDudesSlowpitch I pulled the trigger on it about 4 hours ago. I used your discount code and got a great price. Hoping to have it tomorrow/Friday and have it game ready for Monday. Thanks again!!!!
I don't know what I'm doing wrong my Iron Man within 65 hits I had for seams on it, destroyed my proton in less than a month and I've been waiting seven weeks for the replacement. Haven't hit the DeMarini yet. Gonna grab the new Easton Tantrum 1piece for sure tho.
@@AverageDudesSlowpitchone of the hottest bats I've hit in while. I'm not too far away and Albuquerque let's hook up sometime get some BP going. I started a channel too. youtube.com/@leroypadilla_DBDB
I got one of those Proton Series 2 balanced bats and it swings heavier than my 2018 Helmer Blue Line with full oz EL. Go figure. Confirmed it with a table test later.
I think that’s a current downside with the Protons. Their weighting is all over the place. My 26oz 1oz EL is heavier than my buddies 27oz .5 EL. My other 27oz 1oz EL is lighter than my Buddies 27oz Bal 🤷🏽
@@AverageDudesSlowpitch tbh it sounds like a QC problem. Wrong parts / wrong labeling are sneaking into production. I approached them multiple times and am hearing crickets.
Whats the Miami lights testing at with 500 swings I’m getting an ironman 2.0 as a return on my passemout and just curious of how long they typically hold and pass compression ? Love the videos you always do a damn good job very transparent and i feel you don’t give any bias appreciate the work you put in !
I've been playing ball for a minute, very curious about this Standard Issue. Have some questions if you could reach out. I subscribed through your site, dont want to post email on her but is a .gov

Whats would yiu reccomend for a mush ball
We've found the DeMarini's and LS handle mush balls well
How do we placed order for 26 or 27 oz genesis
Head over to Headbangersports.com or Sluggerslowpitch.com add the bat you’d like and use code ADS35 at checkout to save on the purchase
Thanks
What ball are you playing
Our bag is a mix of Classic Ms and Pro Ms. Mostly DeMarini Razzo, Dudley ZN, and Worth Gold Dots.
Question. That batting net in your garage behind you. Do you use that for BP in garage ? Does it uphold for adults is what I’m getting at. Thanks
Yes sir. Thats the net we use in the Velo tests. It holds up pretty good. We buy a new net every 9-12 months but we use ours a ton
@@AverageDudesSlowpitch I’m thinking about getting some netting and setting it up in my garage for BP through the winter

How does the new x-coil Slugger bats compare to last years LS-2x or the SSP-240 slugger bats?
In our opinion it’s a great upgrade. More durable, starts hotter, and is extremely forgiving

@@AverageDudesSlowpitch is this ths same barrel on the standard axe handle 240 USSSA?
@AverageDudesSoftball makes sense. Just purely barrel performance, I think the axe is as hot if not hotter than anything out right now imo.

Is there any good bats that aren't $300+
Get with us to order and just about no bats are $300. We can get you a high end bat for less than $250
I'd love that!

Still possible to buy a proton?
Yes sir. Protonsoftball.com and use discount code ADS
What OZ is that standard issue?
26.5oz
The Anarchy 240s and Nimmo should be up there too
We’re just waiting on the opportunity to get one and try it.
@@AverageDudesSlowpitchI got a 25 I’ll send ya 🤣
Question. When you say demarini’s. Are you lumping the Natty line as well or the APC tech ala lady cartel.
You like the iron man over the new vice?
The Onyx 240 CFT technology is gas too !!!
Id like to see that Flared AXE in that competition.
They trash don't believe the hype
We’ll work on trying to acquire one and if we get our hands on one we’ll get a video up

Honestly I think it’s a lot of personal preference. We’re waiting on our 1-piece Tantrum. Very excited to give it a try

That ‘18 Blue Line swung like a .5 oz endload to me instead of the 1 oz it was advertised as. But I still feel your pain though.

Ours is still right at 250 maybe slightly below.
We appreciate the support!
Love the videos, it’s helped me reason what bats I like and want to save up for! Glad to see someone from las cruces make some good videos to !
Appreciate the support man! We’ll keep doing our best to bring the best content we can
Any new word on the vice or the one piece Genny?
1-Piece is TBD.
2-piece just dropped. No discount code unfortunately but message us and we’ll get you hooked up with a nice deal
