Looking for some help on the Marucci Echo Connect Fastpitch bat

[Fury_Mike]

I have players the are tired of investing and reinvesting in the Ghost. They are considering buying a 33/-10 or 32/-10 Echo connect. I’m looking for feedback on its performance and durability. The girls play on a 16U premier level team.

Think there is a thread somewhere if you search as I remember a couple

Besides "reps" saying how great they are, there wasnt too much feedback on them from what I remember . Think you
had a couple girls liked them, some said they were ok for a backup bat but not on the same level as the other top bats. That
has been my experience as well talking to people.

Im sure you could get one super cheap, I know Marucci was blowing them out a while ago.

Marucci reps were at the NFCA conference, and trying to upsell the bats, but even they admitted they had a long way to go compared to their baseball bats.

My DD likes hers but uses her PC during games. Balanced bat and I hate it. Can’t feel it at all. A few girls in our area love it. 15/16 year olds mostly.

I love the PC

we have one that we use as our “abuse” bat. It’s been a very durable bat and like @Tango suggested I couldn’t feel anything with it. Numbers wise it was competitive but on the field it was subpar. We tried to really like it but just couldn’t.

Marucci refuses to believe that. I told them when we were trying to sell their FX Connects that the bat was subpar and giving them
suggestions to help. Their fp bats are average at best
They didnt change much of anything to their Echo and here they stand again...haha
