I bought this bat and right out of the wrapper it was super hot. I had the privilege of meeting a gentleman with my exact bat that had 300 hits on it. His was exactly as hot as mine right out of the wrapper. There is no better comparison than that. My only complaint is that the grip sucks (unless you like a super thin grip with no cushion at all, and some people do). I replaced my grips with the lizard skin 1.8 in orange and it looks/feels awesome. The only reason it gets 4 stars is the grips. Other than that it's perfect.Good Bat... not best.. my Demarini Steels have had more pop as well as the One's. but the team likes it and I've hit the fence with it a few times already.Owned an older Helmer model the past 5-6 years and liked it, good pop and a decent sweet spot. Used the new one for the first time last night and wow is this thing hot! We're not a squad of bombers by any means, but guys who can barely get it out of the infield were hitting balls off the fence. 5 Stars for sure, great bat.I'm still waiting for the bat to get hot have about 400 plus swings on it so hope it breaks in soon. After using the bat for over 1000 swings now it got really good pop.The bat is not for everyone its got a heavy end load making it harder to hit the ball where u want. I would say this bat is for higher level players onlyDefinitely love this bat. Came out hot straight from the wrapper. Second swing was a homerun. Feels great, I barely feel the ball hit the bat. I'd recommend this bat to anyone looking for something great pop.its a touch heavy the 27 would be perfectI bought this as a birthday gift for a friend of mine to play in a work-sponsored softball league. He loves it and everyone wants to use it. He hit his first home run after getting this bat and three last Friday night.Great bat with great pop right out of the wrapper. Have hit hundreds of balls and doesn't scuff like most bats I've used. Still looks brand new
