That dude B Jones is def a trunk seller...any store that will give him a good middle man deal on a product for him to flip, he will do anything to sell it.
He is prob making more money on the Anderson than other brands from any store he has contacted because the stores can sell all the other brands without a guy like him.
He also has gotten some bad stuff written about him on some forums with some of his dealings.

And yes, we know him well.

Is this the same Anderson bat company from years ago or new owners. My son's liked the techzilla little league bats early 2000s

Same company name, yes. All the prior people like Steve were ousted like 2012/2013 because the company was just not able to
survive financially and new investors took it over. Its a long story (involved how the company was filed under and how it paid taxes, or lack there of and who was responsible for the taxes and how the new investor kinda used this to oust everybody and take for himself) but end answer is, yes, same company...all new people running it. Nothing is really left from the old Anderson.

Not only are the shoes different and kids do change shoes but the first swing no batting gloves but second swing does have a batting glove.

Kids have a lot of variation in their swings. I usually hit a whole bucket when trying to compare exit speed. The other thing is I can't see how he is getting a reading at that angle. You need to be in line with the ball flight to get a good reading. Pocket Radar has some videos on this topic and they usually have them hitting into a net with the radar behind the net.

My take on Anderson Bats, back in the day when Anna was in 12U+ we got on a Rocketech and Nanotek kick, I liked both of those bats, takes a special girl to get all the benefits out of them though! The RT in the right hands is a rocket launcher!

I still have both a 33” RT and NT in a bucket out in the garage, these two are both the old school Anderson’s. Looking back now, do those old school Anderson’s perform like a Ghost, Xeno, or LXT? No.......no they don’t!

Correct me if I’m wrong, Anderson was sold / bought out from Steve in a nasty takeover, like his company was taken from him? Again if I’m wrong, correct me.

Newer Anderson Bats, I’d want to experiment with one on my own against those three bats I mentioned above, therefore they would have to give me one, or sell me one so cheap it’d be worth it to me to try out.........I don’t see that happening so I really never see a new Anderson in our future!

Also, it would take some Dads / coaches in this forum and some Dads / coaches I know personally in my circles to scream so loudly what a game changer this new Anderson is, I just don’t see it! But hey, I’ve been wrong before.......

Anderson is a good company that definitely has its place in the market, especially when it comes to colder weather. I was just telling another member today that they just dont market their products like the other bigger companies do so unless people knew their reputation back from 10-15yrs ago, they arent very well known, especially below the Mason.

With the way these newer bats break in colder temps, Ive had a decent amount of people are buying them bc they are so friggin strong when it comes to lower temps.
