Watch the video first then come back here. I have been buying and testing bats for years now and have tested more than 100 bats now. My conclusion is that you can find top end ping even in budget/mid range. It is however difficult to get. I’m pretty lucky to have built connections with retailers. As such, I’m able to source bats which are not expensive but ping as good as player bats. Not every bat within the same model/range will be a special bat. This SG was specifically picked for top end performance which you can clearly see when I compare it to my top end bats. You will not find better ping than this even if you spend £1000. I am saying this after testing everything.
