2010 Bats

[SSdad]

Poseiden -- Akadema obviously does not actually make bats, and don't apparently have any history of bat research or performance, so why risk a dud of a bat just so a glove company can fill more pages of their product catalog? (and I don't even like theiir gloves... they're too floppy). i don't see Anderson selling helmets, cleats or gloves, which is fine by me... I'm glad they're sticking to their knitting. Why can't young companies just be satisfied to be extremely good at their core product? ClearView in my view messed up trying to branch into Rip It bats. Next you know Boombah will come out with a knockoff bat...PUULLEEEZZZZ.

Boombah makes one hell of a slow pitch bat!!!

I think you missed my core point -- Boombah doesn't MAKE bats.

At best, they found a factory in Canada or China and asked them if they can do an over-run of XX actual, real bat company's bat, and paint the Boombah logo on it.

In senior softball I have seen the Boombah bat. I think that is all they make and it is a good bat for senior play. The bat is made in China from what I understand and not by CE in Canada. In the past they made the Cannon which came from CE.

Akadema, Rip It are companies that have used cookie cutter common stock bat to expand their market. Only to find that the bat business is one for the big kids that have a strong foundation and sourcing abilities to allow them to compete. Many companies used CE in Canada who would make a bat for anyone with a credit card. I think Akadema is still with CE and Rip It has moved down to alloy bats. IMHO these want-a-be marketing companies will fade away or just go back to what they do best, gloves or face guards and such. Heck, even Nike has and still is having issues in the bat market. It takes a big village to put a bat on the market, a town to make it grow and a city to keep it there.

Purple Stealth the Phenix, Silver Synergy are all hot bats and still leagal as far as I know(dont have much exp with Rocket tech). Was told they plan on banning the Phenix this year, was a rep from Demarini. I think he might be full sh**. CF4 had some good pop, not out of the wrapper but once the girls broke it in. CF3 I do believe was 92 out the wrapper also.
Had both bats on the team last year, for most of it. And the girls that used the CF3 all went to the CF4.
So instead of getting a brand new model, get one of the above, you will get more from it as long as they are not banned or going to be banned.

Of course that banning will come from the ASS......opps, I mean ASA.

the 2005 silver Synergy 31/21 is a great bat, sell me that bat my little one would love that bat:)

Don't have a 31/21 but have a 29. Saving that for my little one though!

Anything made by CE is very comparable to their own line (Combat) Smaller barrels and definitely a different type of animal but they are good bats!
I've seen a team put down their RTs,stealth,synergy and phenix to swing a Schutt Lisa Fernandez(CE) that was very hot.

Hottest 2010 bat I've seen is the Miken Rain
