Going to get a New Bat (need suggestions)

look at demarinis voodoo or vexxum

well depending on how much your willing to spend either a dynasty or an exo would be good choices

EXO i have it and it doesnt bend at all it has carbon inserts. so it wont bend. if u dont want a bat that bends get the exo.

vexxums flex way too much. I would say either the exo, Nike Torque, or a Stiff Stealth.

Do not get a torque. Unless they have gotten any better since the old model (orange one), they are made of a very weak alloy. If you hit with any power what so ever, and I imagine you do since the reg flex is too much, it is not the bat for you. I can't hit with it at all because when I swing hard, the bat seems to give a lot when you make contact, and it bends back at the same time. Definitely not a good bat.The stiff stealths are supposed to be good,but all the stealths I have heard can break at the flexy part. The exo's are awesome. Never hit with one, but many people I know have and love them, and the dynasty is pretty good, but it seems to lose its advantage over other bats pretty quickly. If you can find one, a warrior is a very good bat also.
As for vexxums, I don't think they flex too much, but I just have trouble hitting with the weight distribution on them. But its just my opinion.

i still say stick with a 1 peice bat such as a dynasty or exo depending on your price range

I actually would reccomend the torque

Has a sizely sweetspot,doesnt bend(like the flex stealth),and if you are a solid contact hitter this is a good bat

Just depends on what you like

whats the silver and red nike bat that some NC players had ??

The new dynastys are terrible... I say get the new stiff stealth

I was thinking about getting the exo or dynasty to begin with and now I'm thinkin either the exo, or the stiff stealth. I never really thought about the torque... I'll have to look at one.

terps25- why are the new Dynasty's terrible? What happened when you used one?

The 07 Torque.

ok thanks

The torque my hs team may have been a dud, Ihave had a few duds before, but since the nike rep gave it to our team for free, we didn't complain. The new ones may be better, but the old orange torques suck.

I just dont like the pop it has for a new bat. just don't like the feel..

P.S. the colors are ugly lol

The 07 Torque.

The red and silver ones are actually the Nike Aero Strobe. They are a little cheaper priced than the Torques.

We have a couple of each on our team (Strobes and Torques), and the '07 Torques seem to have quite a bit of pop in them. We just got them, so I do not know about durability.

yeah, they are strobes, with MeC25 alloy instead of MeC35 found on torques. The 07 torques are same pattern as old orange ones, but they are blue instead of orange, but I personally wouldn't buy a 250 dollar nike bat. Buy last years model of a stealth or dynasty or something. Much better.

The orange Dynasty is the same as the blue just different colors.

Yes the Aero Strobe..my bad calling it the torque.Who cares?? its a bat made by nike They STINK!! lol

nike should just stop making baseball equipment. The only good nike thing I've ever bought, is my equipment bag, but what annoys me is its too short to fit my 34 inch aluminum and my 33 wood bat, without having to almost rip it. They should stick to clothes and shoes.

Everyone has an opinion. We have had nothing, but good luck with Nike since we switched completely over to their products a couple of years ago. We use their shoes, bags, gloves, bats, clothes, everything. However, we get a very generous price on their products, so that helps. I can understand where it might be hard to spend $250 on a Nike bat over an Easton or Louisville.

Nike should not stop at all. Nike produces a lot of very high quality gloves. They are with out a doubt one of the best footwear producers in baseball. Have you ever used their batting gloves? The Diamond Elites are excellent batting gloves. Their batting helmets have to be the most confortable batting helmet I ever wore. I could keep going, but the bottom line is, Nike may not make good bats, but they defintly make a lot of other good baseball products.

I just think that all of their equipment is too over priced, considering you can get a more reliable glove for the same amount. Every nike glove I have seen, always breaks in in a week, fits perfect for about a month, then gets too floppy for good use. That is not the top of the line equipment, but everything else below that. I know I would not pay 250 bucks for a nike glove, when I can pay 150 for a HOH or A2000. Not that it is the worst equipment, it is just that I think they should stick with one or two sports, until they get their products well developed, and then expand. Their golf clubs, footballs, and several other products are not as good as the brands with the reputation. They make some good things, but as far as gloves and bats go, there is more to be desired from them.

i think the problem with nike is the make cheaper models of golf clubs and baseball gloves that you are thinking of but i highly doubt that a new nike sasquatch driver is junk when tiger woods uses it and it costs so much its just that other golf companies only make the high priced clubs

nobody has mentioned the TPX Omaha. I have one and absolutely love it. I have the Red '06 33/30.

Adam, I think as a catcher you would appreciate Nike. I love their equipment, and all of it is VERY reasonably priced. If you don't want to buy their bats and gloves, fine- but they do make competition, always good to have some of that...

I was wondering if anybody knew anything about the new Easton connexion comp?

first off DON'T get an exxo...hehe the only reason that bat sells is because of its "new technology" and people think that because its price is so high that it has to be good.

I know in the past Nike baseball equipment has just been unacceptable but the new torque is NICE

Also take a look at the new demarini voodoos...hott

NEED Something cheap, but effectibe, EH? Git an AMP HYBRID by WORTH. Exactly the same as the fusion, but it's about 60-70$ cheaper

I keep hearing that Nike bats are not very good. I am looking at the Strobe for my 8 year old who is a hard hitter and hit 8 homeruns last year with his Demarini Raven. Do you think he will have similar performance with the Nike Strobe?

Nike bats any good?
