Anyone have any inside info on searching for old model bats? Daughter fell in love with the Combat Maxum that I bought on a whim from closeoutbats.com when they had them for $99. I'd love to find some that people bought but got pushed the back when the kid wanted a ghost. Lol. Unfortunately she popped it a few weeks ago and I haven't been able to find them anywhere (eBay, Google, Craigslist). It was the white with purple graphics model (2017 I think). 32/22 or 33/23.

Not much help probably, but I've seen 3 Combat Portent bats at local retailer going out of business. Marked at $100, but going out of business so they are $60. Looked on here and seems like they were solid bats in their day, but one piece so many didn't like. I think it is this, perhaps a predecessor to maxum?...

That's a Combat Wanted...little diff than the Maxum.

The Maxum I believe came in 1 piece AND multi piece bats. Think this was going to be their flagship models but right after they brought them
out, Easton dissolved Combat

yeah, bought one of those thinking it would be close....not even close though.

The 2 piece is what I'm after. I'd even take a drop 9. There's a drop 8 on ebay but she's not ready for a 33/25 lol.

Combat really did some nice things with bats and could have made some noise if they just gave up the one piece idea sooner. They rode it and rode it thinking girls liked them.
Before realizing they don't sell well, it was too late. Needed to bring out a good 2 piece way before they did.

I may be able to help. I'll check back tomorrow.

Not sure how the fast pitch bat compares with the baseball model. But I can say that my son loved this bat. When he first got it, it was hot out of the wrapper and sounded like a shotgun at contact....and then about a month later, the bat was dead. But the balance was perfect.
