I used to play Modified Fastpitch. In spring of 2003 I bought the Ultra II. towards the end of the summer season, I remember hitting a ball to center (no fence) and basically jogging around the bases. Something I could never do. One of my teammates came over to me and said "I've never seen you hit a ball like that before." ha!The Miken Ultra and Ultra II were both insanely hot. I remember playing slow pitch back in those days and guys that never hit HR in their life were now hitting balls 25' over a 300' fence. Those bats added 50' to a persons swing. That was about the time you started seeing pitchers wearing helmets and chin guards.
The original gray Ultra Maxload was the hottest bat ever made. Thing was insane. Then I would put the og Boombah Cannon in frontI know you are talking fastpitch bats, but I would LOVE for my DD to swing the original Utra II a few times. That was the hottest thing ever! There is no telling how far some of these fastpitch girls could it a ball with one of those!
Never heard of or swung those. But remember going to a big tournament when the ultra II came out and our team going in together to buy 2. We felt like we were in a gun fight with knives until we got the Ultra II. Then we made a ton of outs because we couldn't keep the ball in the park! Thats when everyone started playing with a 5 man infield to try to protect the pitcher.The original gray Ultra Maxload was the hottest bat ever made. Thing was insane.

of the Ultra2. That Cannon was a bat nobody really knew of and was only allowed in WSA (a one or two year defunct slowpitch assoc.).
I have had offers for my Cannon, just wont sell it.

You don't practice parking with a Porsche!Why is my DD bunting? You do not understand she is swinging a freaking Milken!
MY understanding (which of course may not be correct), is that the Ultra II was purely a rebalance. Testing procedure at the time was conducted at a specific point (based on the balance).The Ultra2 came out after the og Ultra was banned. That og was the start
