This review is from: Reebok 2011 Melee Legend Max 34-Inch Sr. League Slow Pitch Bat (Sports) This bat is every bit as good as a Miken Ultra II. Not sure about the durability but so far it's better than the Ultra II. Guys on our team have broken at least 2 Ultra's a year. The 1st Reebok bat I bought has at least 200 hits on it without a mark. Bat opened up at around 100-150 hits. Last game hit 8 of 10 easily over a 280 ft. fence during bp and 3 of 4 during the game and I'm almost 62 years old. Bought 2 bats from Amazon and have talked numerous other people into buying them as well. In this part Florida Half-Century tournament at Carter Road in Mulberry FL you can see the tide shifting. At the beginning of the year 9 out of 10 players had Ultra II's. Now you're seeing half and half. Just put the 1st Reebok away (will use just for tournaments) and started breaking in the 2nd one. Amazing bat and you can't beat the Amazon price anywhere! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Reebok 2011 Melee Legend Max 34-Inch Sr. League Slow Pitch Bat (Sports) Received my Reebok Melee 26oz End-Loaded through Amazon with ease, Great Job Amazon! Now about the bat....Reebok you have a WINNER with this one! Took about 50 hits off a batting tee and all hell broke loose after that, hits where going 300-320 with NO effort at all. Since then have put more that 100 hits on bat, still looks new and puts 'em over the fence in league play! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Reebok 2011 Melee Legend Max 34-Inch Sr. League Slow Pitch Bat (Sports) In 2010 i broke 8 miken ultra II's. 5 in 5 weeks. The last one only had 60 hits on it. I am 59 years old.
I wrote to miken and emailed with not a response. Then the meelee senior came out in Jan 2011. I ordered my first one got it Jan 5th (extra shipping paid). When it had 900+ hits on this bat with several home runs i ordered another. It preformed great out of the wrapper, but about 140 hits it really started preforming. Yes i counted every hit. After the miken fiasco i wasnt taking any chances. To make a long story shorter my first miken lasted to around 2300 hits. My second miken is at about 2200 and is close to breaking (i can feel ridges). So this is my third i just ordered. Also I have started using a bat sleeve(Tuff Sleeve) for my bats during practice (highly recommended). I live in The Villages Florida. Approx 2800 of us play senior softball. They are switching from miken ultra II to reebok meelee senior at a rapid...Read more |
