I bought the freak black last year off of Imlearning because his dd wouldn't use it. So I gave it to my dd....she too wouldn't use it. Said it was "balanced funny". I think the both of them were being materialistic in wanting their 2legits or CF8's.... I used it at practice a few times as a pop fly or fungo bat, it was stiff as a board at first, but once it starting breaking in.... HOLY CRAP! I starting feeling a pop like no other. Just self tossing, I was putting the balls over the light poles in center field. My AC now uses it in his men's league... Lol
I seem to remember something about the Chill in it changes color depending on the temperature.... Not sure on its performance, but I'm 100% sure that the black is no joke!
