The bat was awesome out of the wrapper, but developed a nasty rattle and lost all pop after just 50-100 hits in good weather. I saw no reason for a bat to go bad that fast so i sent it back, waiting on a reply.

I'm a line drive hitter who like to spray balls all over the field. This bat is actually hotter out of wrapper. At my first couple of bp's, i was hitting hard lines left and right, couple of hits even went over the fence. After hitting about 150 balls with it, i noticed a significantly decreased "pop off the bat" feeling. Is there anyone having similar problems?

I've been playing softball for a few years now and after switching from bat to bat I decided to buy my own. I've been a homerun hitter my entire life but I was looking for something that didn't need a long break in time and the Salvo was the perfect fit. I still hit bombs when I need to but I've been hitter cleaner up the middle!

This bat was a decent bat with a good amount of pop but I really wish there was a little more end weight. All and all a good bat even though I had to send it in for a warranty claim because of a rattle that developed after two seasons (Summer and Fall) of use. A good bat for someone getting back into softball or not extremely competitive.

ive tried every single bat in the game thats out and have never had a bat hit as good as the salvo. i traded my ssr4 for it (which didnt seem like a good deal for me) but turned out amazing!! i couldnt hit with my ssr4 because i am a power hitter and the bat just flexed too much i tried out the salvo and my first shot was a 375+ft BOMB! i hit it out of angels stadium at the BLD in west covina to deep right center and everyone was amazed with the shot as well as i was! this is the best bat ive ever owned!!!!

This is a Great Bat!!! I feel like I hit a popup and the ball goes 310 easy! Takes a while to break in but be patient, trust me its DEFINATELY WORTH IT!!! My previouse bat was a demarini juggernaut, and the salvo is up there with it! People complain about their bat braking after a few weeks, but some batches are bad, and theyre still underwarranty so just get another. CANT BEAT THIS BAT FOR THE PRICE

I recently picked up this bat when one of my team mates brought his to a game and it quickly became the go to stick for team. I've always been more of a contact/single type hitter, and the first time I used the bat I drove in a screaming HR. Needless to say I had to have my own and I haven't looked back or had the desire to even pick up my more expensive bat from another "which shall go un-named" company.

I have had this bat for 2 weeks now & there are about 200 swings already. I play on 2 softball teams & after the 1st game, it is now the preferred bat for both teams. I purchased the 30 oz as I like a heavier bat & everyone says it feels like a 28 oz. It has great pop & it is starting to heat up !! I would definitely recommend this bat (if you can find one) for your softball team as it will become the preferred team bat. I would purchase a 28oz if I could get my hands on one just to offer a different size for my 2 teams.

Hit a ground rule double with my 27 ounce Salvo that went about 305 (centerfield is 310 at my league). The Salvo has changed things for me and several teammates in only 3 games so far (look on players' faces on other teams is pricless too). Primarily a hard line drive hitter, I started hitting some shots with the power trajectory ("bombs") along with my hard liners when I switched to the Salvo.

My 27 ounce Slavo and new found power dimension inspired me to snag a 30 ounce Salvo this week for a max power ASA bat. Started breaking the 30 ounce in on a tee and am feeling really good about the early results of the extra 3 ounces. Weight distribution is excellent with the Salvos so bat feels/swings lighter, and I am still generating great bat speed with the 30.

while shopping for bats, this bat felt the best for my swing with me being a line drive hitter (not a big fly hitter). Its well balanced so i can whip it thru the hitting zone with no problem without dropping the barrel a little bit resulting in those annoying pop ups or routine fly balls. My first hit was a rocket up the middle and boy i tell you, you can feel how great it comes off the bat. Its great for long balls to, im only 5'5 but i can occasionally suprise outfielders and hit rockets over there heads. This bat has great pop outa the wrapper and i cant wait to break this in fully. I did not like the grip (well i hate all grips) so i took it off and use bat tape which gives me a better feel. But to each his own, i love this bat, and i think everyone should try it when they get a chance

This bat felt OK at first, BUT after 2 games ( which equaled out to be 6 at bats) the handel splintered. I would never recommend this bat to anyone. It looks very cool with the orange, grey, and black but past that it was no good. Please save the hassle and do not buy this bat. Go with MIKEN!!!!!!, so much better. I bought a Miken Freak FX700 the same day and it has about 500-600 hits on it and only got better.

I ordered an Easton Synergy Speed BH SVR6 and sent it back after I hit this bat. Grabbed buddy's Salvo because mine wasn't here yet and hit 340 bomb. Why pay the extra money? Was told the bat had only been used maybe 10 times before I hit it. Definatley the best feeling bat out of the new Easton line and if you can hit the SS just walk back to the dugout as it goes over the fence.

For $185 this is a great deal for a good performing bat out of the wrapper. I hit this just as good out of the wrapper as a well broken in AV, but I think it lacks some distance behind a SCN9. Won't touch an Extended, but still a great deal for $185.

This is the best ASA legal bat on the market. It wont hold up the USSSA bats, but for ASA it is the ticket. It took a little bit of time to break it in, but once it has a few hits on it, it is a great line drive bat, with a "bit" of pop on it. Well worth the investment, I just hope it lasts more that one season. Keep it away from your team mates, they wont keep there hands off of it.

Had been using a Stealth in non-asa leagues and tourney. bought this one to replace my againg demarini evo in asa and have been extremely pleased. Bat is well worth the money and I love the slight end load feel. Used in asa tourney the week after getting bat only a couple dozen hits and it was hitting the fence in the tourney where there were no hrs with avg balls provided. began using bat in NSA league while stealth being replaced for damage and I apologize to the pitchers in the last 2 games. hit each one, ball was on them as they were moving backwards to 2nd before they could get gloves up. not a huge hr hitter, but this bat is changing that hitting 315+ bombs in BP with decent asa balls. nsa balls 340+ very highly recommend this one.
