Mizuno Demos

[CoreSoftball20]

Im not a smart man, so numbers aside...haha, but these bats are legit which is why I am sending them out to people for them to see and test.

It just opens up another avenue for someone to think about and consider. Most people that swing them, first thing they say is...wow.

So whats the difference In the Carbon1, Carbon2, and Power Carbon?

Core price on Power Carbon?

If there's any chance of a rep getting a Carbon 2 34 -8 into my daughter's hands, we'd put in some work to compare them. Seems like the C2 is the only one that comes in 34 -8. We had a demo day not far from here, but the best they had was a 33/23 PC. Not going to even look at something we'd never buy.

Mizuno has in the past offered low drop fastpitch bats that other companies don’t. Seems like I saw a -5 Mizuno fastpitch somewhere. When the new Easton line first came out there were not low drops immediately available either so I would guess sometime when they feel they are caught up with the most common sizes you will see expanded production.

I’m looking forward to having dd try the -10 33’s, she is currently swinging a lower drop 33 so it won’t be apples to apples comparison but it will be close enough. She needs to move up to a 34 this winter and lobbied for a 34/25 but I’m thinking 34/24 for a little added adjustability.

That's easy to field...Carbon1 is one piece, Carbon2 is two piece (think about a CF bat), Power Carbon is 3 piece with the connection piece and inner tech.

Nobody is going to be able to send you this bat, they would basically be writing it off as nobody else would wanna demo it.

There is a reason most demos that are out there are 32/22 and 33/23's...you have to get the most popular bats out to get the most girls to swing it. Mizuno sending someone
a 34/26 isn't going to do much for them, and it wastes a demo for the store.

Btw, its not gonna outhit the DC ...the Power Carbon would do well

Problem will always come with the fact that cost/production per sales isn't worth it for most manufacturers to make much below a drop9. 8 is pushing it and Im surprised anybody
offers it still.

Power Carbon 33/-10 arrived in the mail today. Weighs in at 23.6 oz with the wrapper. Not really a purple bat fan but it looks nice and the college my DD will be attending wears purple...so there's that. Has a nice sized barrel about 12.5"-13". I'm surprised at how balanced it is; the balance point is roughly 1" closer to the knob than the 33/-10 Ghost. I saw an MOI chart somewhere that had the Power Carbon at slightly end-weighted, similar to a Xeno, but that doesn't seem right with this bat. I'll have to make sure my DD likes the weighting before unwrapping, or it might be going back for a drop -9.

A little feedback on the Power Carbon I picked up from Core a couple weeks ago. My DD was able to swing it last night for the first time. Let’s just say that I’m glad I had an L screen to protect myself…this bat is scary. I gathered some exit speeds off a tee and it averaged about 6 mph faster than her Mako and Combat. The sound takes a little getting used to, but she absolutely loves the bat.

If that's true, 6mph is freaking huge. That's the difference between over the fence and an easy out!
