Let me know what you have. I just can't bring myself to spend a $200-300 on a bat for a beer league. I've been to a couple Play-it-Again's and they don't have shit.
 
Softball bats are big bucks. Be careful buying used ones, they really do loose their pop after a while, especially when they get treated poorly (like in most beer leagues).

Yeah, that's what I've been finding. All the stores I went to have a bunch of beat up bats and they are asking top dollar for them. I bought a few used ones last year, but they were pretty much dead.
 
If you're playing in a league, make sure it's approved. When I was looking for a used one, all I came across were bats banned by ASA. Ended up biting the bullet and buying a new Miken.

That's one of the issues i have with buying a big money bat. They could have as little as 40 hits in them, depending on temperature, and how they're treated. I just can't spend 300 on a disposable item like that....specially for a beer league. Most i spent was 80 on a nice Alum bat.

Motherfuckers! I swear they're just doing that shit to sell more bats. If my bat gets banned, I'm gonna go apeshit.

It's amazing how light of a bat people have gone to over the years. We used 34oz., plus tape for years. Now, bat speed is everything. Years ago, when the DeMarini's came out, guys who could barely reach the track were clearing tree tops. The way the ball jumps off these new bats is ridiculous. Suddenly, everybody's a jacker. Time to go back to wood, that'll separate the players from the posers.
