As CoreSoftball20 pointed out, end loaded and light bats are a niche sale - maybe 10-15% of overall bat sales. Would also be interesting to know if there is an increased cost of production for a -8 or a -12.

Endload is not a niche sale...the very small endload would be which is why they do not make a 30/22 or 31/23. The -8, -9 and endload versions of bats are definitely more than that percentage.

I know its not the same game, but bat speed is vital in SP. I bet 75% of the sp bats we sell are endload or Maxload. We dont even like to carry balanced sp bats. Miken has 3 bats being released Dec 1st...none are balanced. Worth has 6 being released on the 17th...2 are balanced.
