Softball Bats

Decided to go with the ranking of softball bats over the White Sox game because the Sox lost and it wasn't that great of an interesting game. When ranking the bats I'm going to first do my personal preference in bats and then ranking what I've seen guys hit.

My Rankings
1. Miken Ultra 2 (illegal)- This bat is the best bat out there that you can use. Ball just jumps off this bat without a lot of effort.
2. Original Miken Freak (illegal)- Great great asa bat. Can really see the difference now that this bat has been banned. My home run total has gone way down.
3. Demarini Juggernaut- Love the flex of this two piece bat and you don't have to swing hard and the ball just jumps. Takes a little while to get used but, once you get used to it can't put it down.
4. Demarini White Steel- Best single wall bat out there. Competes right up there with any double wall bat. Have hit some of my deepest bombs with this bat.
5. Miken NRG- Its a miken so you know its good. Have to put a little more muscle in the ball but, hits the ball really hard.
6. Demarini Evo- Another reflex demarini which I love. Swings a little heavier then other demarini's but, still has great pop off the bat.
7. Miken Maniac 484- A stiffer bat but, when it hits the sweet spot the ball will go.
8. Miken Freak 98- Very very stiff bat but, the more you hit it the hotter the bat gets. Needs to be broke in.
9. Anti-Virus Combat- Has the best grip of any bat and swings nice. I just never seem to hit the sweet spot on it and don't like the feel when it hits the ball.
10. Toledo Katana- Durability is an issue with this bat. Swings great and feels good when you make contact but, really lacks power if you miss the sweet spot.

What I've seen rankings
1. Miken Ultra 2(illegal)- Seen guys hit 400 foot bombs with this bat enough said.
2. Miken Original Freak (illegal)- Everyones home run totals have dropped since this bat has been made illegal. This bat created "Miken Power".
3. Miken Recoil- Hits rocket line drives. Seems to have a long break in time though and swings alittle heavier.
4. Rip It Reaper- Not a very common bat but, seen guys hit monster bombs. Guys that I know love the feel and the power they get off the bat.
5. Worth Mayhem- Been told a few times that this is the best bat out there. Seen some good power out of this bat.
6. Anti-Virus Combat- Seen a lot of power hitters use this bat and it seems the more you hit it and the worse it looks the hotter this bat is.
7. Easton Synergy- Have heard mixed reviews about this bat but, have seen a few guys that hit the long ball extremely well and have always used this bat no matter what else was allowed.
8. Demarini Juggernaut- Have seen a lot of little guys hitting home runs with this bat that should never be hitting home runs. Great small guy bat.
9. Miken NRG- Has some very good pop but, like I said you do have to swing hard to make the ball go. Not quite the original freak but, close.
10. Mizuno Orange Crush (illegal)- Haven't seen a lot of good out of this bat but, have heard a ton of good things and its illegal for a reason.

Well theres my thoughts on the bats that I've used or seen. When I first started playing softball Demarini Ultimate Weapon was my bat, then Demarini White Steel, then Miken Original Freak and Ultra 2 when allowed, and now I'm on the Demarini Juggernaut with some Miken NRG mixed in. I love the Mikens and Demarini's but, as you look at my other rankings every bat company gets the job done as far as bats are concerned.
