Texas uses Mizuno bats. Oklahoma uses Rawlings. The brand of bat doesn't matter.
Which part? The fact nobody else uses it at the travel level, or that sponsored teams use it?That was a big reason I bought it…
The fact that it’s but more obscure. I actually haven’t seen any college teams use it. I’ve seen a bunch use the CBRN-1 but not the PWR CRBN.Which part? The fact nobody else uses it at the travel level, or that sponsored teams use it?
Do you have any basis for that, or is it just an opinion? If their tech was better, they'd sell a lot more bats, especially considering their price point. Yes, marketing has a lot to do with it, but they're just not popular.The fact that it’s but more obscure. I actually haven’t seen any college teams use it.

I think it’s got better tech than most based on how it performs but its not one of the 3 brands everyone gravitates to for one reason or another.
Just my opinion after comparing it to other bats once we got 500 solid hits on the barrel.Do you have any basis for that, or is it just an opinion?

Mizuno went thru many years of advertising badly and doing things completely wrong to try and beatMy view is that what’s popular doesn’t have a lot to do with performance.
They have the #1 college softball team.Mizuno went thru many years of advertising badly and doing things completely wrong to try and beat
other brands fast and it literally ruined their name for years in the bat market. Not until when they released their
current named lineup a few years ago and the way they are going about advertising have they started to make a comeback.
They are watching who sells their stuff...although it may limit exposure, they dont want the bad raps to come back to their name.
They dont want anybody going on ebay or 3rd party sites at all to sell. Only auth stores selling thru their sites and their means.
They also keep very close as to who they allow to become dealers because of the above. Its a slow but steady process.
They also started investing in college teams and now have a pretty big group of colleges under their brand. Obvi, they cant
pull the likes of Oklahoma, Floride and schools like that from the big fp manufacturers...BUT they have picked up a lot of very
solid teams so they can get more quantity of teams to get more views. And they also have some good offensive teams which is big to them.
Their products will hit with anything performance wise and for the most part, just as durable or better. The strange thing
I hear is that a few people report multiple breakages but yet the majority have no issue. So I would like to look
into those particular returns or know what was going on which i will never be able to...haha. The thing to remember, their
bats are very balanced and close to sticker when buying to get the right weight. So if you are swinging a 33/23 of most any
bat (besides the CF), Mizuno bats will prob feel light in comparison.
Any questions on their products you can always text or pm
