The Vendetta was regular $219 and I got it on clearance for $50. Spent $110 on 3 bats that normally would have cost over $450. The bats were the previous years models.



I dont doubt that at all.Also they will make the same bats in different composites.When i bought my daughters CF5 they were making a cheaper version outta TRE (i think) composite and the better one was made outta FLO composite.Also they'll make the same bat in a 1 piece bat.Alotta people jump on the $50-75 dollar Demarinis and think they got a deal because its got Demarini stamped on it.
