Wow! About a month ago I purchased a 2008 27oz ASA RIP IT Reaper softball bat. I have yet to get the bat review video up (but it will be soon), but all I can say is this bat is a definite 10 out of 10 for ASA Slow Pitch Softball bats in my opinion! The bat has a end load feel and the ball just flys off the bat! I have hit a ton of HR's already, many screaming liners, and even a few HIGH pop ups (I know, I suck)). The bat has now worked its way into about 3-4 other teammates hands too.
I think this bat is a must for all serious ASA players. The only draw back that I am concerned about is the use of class D players. Because of the end load swing, you must be very discipline to keep the ball in the park! It is easy to turn on balls quickly, and like I said earlier, the balls fly off the bat.
This weekend I had the opportunity to swing a well broken in 28oz Original Easton ASA Flex. This bat was absolutely sick too! I also give this a 10 out of 10 in ASA bats! I could hit bombs when I wanted and absolute lasers on demand. I found the Easton Flex to be my bat of choice once we used up our HR's and I needed to hit a rocket through the infield.
I used to have a 2006-07 27oz Easton Flex but never really liked it much. However, it was very new and not broken in. Once this bat starts to break in, you almost feel bad using it as you have such an advantage over the competition! This is a must for ASA players as well, especially D players that need to keep it in the park!
I will post video slowpitch bat reviews on these (2) bats shortly.
Please use this ASA Easton Flex Review and ASA RIP IT Reaper Review when deciding on which ASA stick you want. These (2) bats by far blow out the ASA competition in my opinion!
If you want LASERS and bombs, get the Original 2006-07 Easton Flex Softball Bat.
If you want BOMBS and lasers, get the 2008 RIP IT Reaper Softball Bat.
These bats will be pricey as they are no longer in production. So expect to pay around $300 - $350 each for these.
Hope this helps!
