Got the re-issue for $179 shipped at SBF so the price is great. After about 400 hits it was just average which is normal as Eastons need lots of hits to get fully broken in. It swings quite easy with a nice balanced feel. After 700+ hits it has broken in much more and is now crushing the ball. It is still not flexing that much and the hits don't feel that great and the ball still goes to the fence or over. I hit 15 Hr's today in my last round without a pitcher. I'm just throwing the ball up and hitting it. 700+ hits and not a single spiderweb or paint chip and it will just get better. If you have heard the legend about this bat it is well worth picking one up.
