Ok, let the torch out of the bag. DD has not swung it yet.

The bat sucked...plain and simple...for the first couple swings. HOWEVER, as I have swung it, and several women on my slowpitch team (and men), it is opening up nicely. Miss-hits on handle and cap are still under evaluation. Fungo it still is pretty dead...but full swings it performs well.

DD swings it Wednesday and she hits better than all us slowpitch goofballs...comparison will be 2016 34/24 Xeno (Very hot bat, but low mishit performance) and 34/24 torch

If anyone has experience in how a monsta evolves/breaks in...please share.

@core - clacking = inner barrel hitting outer? Handle hitting inner?

FIB = Floating inner barrel - so I am guessing former, not latter.

Yes, the inner barrel floats. When it gets nice and loose, you will hear it "clacking" off the outer barrel. You can just hit your hand,
and hear it clack.

The Torch is clacking now, like Core mentioned. It is a big hit with my slowpitch ladies (and guys for that matter). Daughter is on the fence though. We are going to measure exit speed with the Freak, Xeno and Torch soon. She will use it this weekend in RI, go from there.

Curious to hear what you decided on the bat. What your Dd's thoughts were
