2016 Makos

Did anyone get one yet? How do you like them? I'm looking at a 31/20 for my daughter and was curious how they were?

A girl on our team has one. It seems to me just like the previous incarnations: Heavy (about 2 oz over sticker) and with nothing particularly distinguishing about it other than that.

One of my 12u girls got one a few weeks ago (I bought it from coresoftball for a steal of a price btw)
It is a tad heavy, but it carries a big pop. Very solid bat! Highly recommended

They do run heavy of course, but I also believe it swings a bit more balanced than last version. I'm NOT saying
the bat is balanced so please dont buy it thinking it swings like a CF or LXT...haha, just saying as compared to last models
it feels less end heavy even with the over weighting.

For the 2015 mako, is the -9 bat end loaded? Wasn't sure if we should go with a -10 or -9. Players have commented that the -10 mako feels a bit end loaded. She is currently using a 2013 Easton power brigade fx1.

She has used her friends cf8 insane and hit well. Was wondering if I should stick with Easton or consider the demarini.

IMHO the 2015 -9 Mako was pretty end loaded. The scale weight and balance point of that Mako was identical to a Rocketflex which was a -10 that was described by many as more end loaded than a Rocketech.

The '16 could be different but if it scales heavy it just about has to be end loaded or it would swing very heavy.

I agree with this and after talking to a customer service rep at Easton, only the paint has been changed on the new model.
