Anyone have any experience with the Easton Mako Torq from a few years ago that had the rotating bottom portion of the handle??? Read reviews that I could find. Just wondering if anyone on here has any knowledge good or bad about them. The rotation of the handle was suppose to help keep the hands in correct position throughout swing.

thanks for any info.

I heard nothing good about it.

You can attach a swing aid to any bat if you tape it up.

You are allowed to modify the bat a little bit.

Back on the dirt...
I have one. Its a decent bat in the right hands. The twisty handle deal is pretty useless imo. I ended up regripping over the existing wrap. Its def over weight from what it's marked. Check the bat weight data base here on DFP. Too heavy for my DD but I let another bigger player use it and it did well. I have swung it quite a bit as well and our CF's out hit it but not by much.

If it's a good price, Id get it for a cage bat or a drill bat due to its extra weight.

Most of the reviews I could find were pretty positive, and the bat supposedly had quite a bit of pop. Most did not notice the rotating handle feature at all. Saw one at a decent price so was kinda thinking about it.

Some of our girls like it, some don't.

Some find the rotating handle weird, but those might be girls with bigger swing flaws. Some say they don't notice it at all.

It's old tech and takes the higher swing speeds to make it a decent bat. Otherwise, IMO the bat, whether the torque model or not, is crap unless you are using it as a cage bat. They make great cage bats. That's about all they're good for though.

I have a 32/22 that has maybe 40-50 swings on it off of a tee. Looks brand new. $50 plus actual shipping if anybody wants it.
