Anderson bats/new rockettech

[Greenmonsters]

The RT is an end-loaded bat that is actually heavier than the weight listed. The weight listed on the bat is the "swing weight". If your DD is small or does not have good hitting mechanics, a RT will make things worse. Your DD has to have good mechanics to be able to hit well with it (see above post).

The RT is an excellent bat to use when refining a swing. It's small sweet spot and the end-load and weight don't allow swing flaws to be masked.

FWIW, the Rocketflex performs as well as the RT, but is more forgiving.
FWIW2, buyer beware - since 2014 Anderson Bat Company really hasn't been "Anderson" Bat Company

My guess is that Anderson is one of the bat manufacturers carried by WM's employer, BSN Sports.

Yes one of the many vendors we have.

I didn't hear about Tomark being acquired. I hope it works out for the better.

Actually we have been acquired for about 10 years now. The Mark in Tomark just retired in June. The Tom in Tomark retired about 11 years ago. So being that both owners are gone, we just officially changed the name. There will be some changes. They want me to actually start doing work around here?? I was like "Really bruh?"

So do we get the same deal you got on the bat? Is that your offer?

Anderson bats? Never heard of them.

The Rocketflex is an excellent bat, Rare as unicorn hair now.

That cute little 30" RT on the left hit somewhere around 300 machine balls a week for a couple years and was her game bat. It is still smoking hot and looks almost pristine. They talk about the '04 and '05 but my favorite year was the '07. Super durable.

That is my offer to you. My margins are not that great on bats and balls. If you can get it cheaper, then jump on it for sure. My feelings will not be hurt.

The 2014 was not good from the few I saw.

I have not seen a '15 first hand.

OK so if I am following along correctly here you work in the sporting good industry? Do you get bats for free to demo? Or did you have to buy this one for your DD? If you were able to get one to demo can we do the same?

I do not get anything for free. I wish. I had some extra money, wanted to try it out and bought it. I do work in the industry and its a good bat.

I had some extra money...

I don't believe you. Especially since you own a boat.
