The FS1 is an excellent bat. There really isnt any difference between them and last year's Stealth. As a matter of fact , last years Stealth was getting beating up a little and being called a dud as well. Now would be the time to get an FS1 if you find a deal. I am willing to bet that the prices will be up on these next year (and there will be questions about the 2014 models )
