Helmer has a bat every year just like Hall, Rusty, Connell, Fulk and such. Back then, the AV was the only decent bat Combat put out. A few years ago, they started putting out some decent bats all around, but durability wasn't there and sticker weight to actual weight was off like Eastons. I like the performance of their bats, but just haven't heard about their top FP bats much.
My DD's Combat Fernandez is within a couple tenths of an ounce to sticker weight.
