The Omaha in USA for 2022 is an entry-level performance bat made for the hitter who wants a bigger barrel on a single-piece alloy. Although this bat might not feel as good as more expensive bats when poor contact is made, the bat can hit the ball just as far as anything else in the USA standard. The swing weight is balanced and the sizes from 27 through 32-inch should fit most players. The USA Omaha isn't anything to get too excited about, but it will hit the ball hard when squared up and, at a reasonable price, it's a value buy through and through. Full Review

The drop 10 USA The Goods One from Demarin isn't anything to get too excited about. However, it will fit a large number of hitters and meet the maximum standard on well hit balls. The barrel profile isn't big, and the stiffness can hurt the hands on mishit balls. But, the price is more reasonable and the serious rec player could find a lot of success with this light swinging single piece alloy from DeMarini's 2022 lineup. Full Review

The StringKing Metal Pro is a slightly endloaded single piece alloy bat in the USSSA space. The real win here is the value of the bat---which costs several factors lower than bats it can compete just fine with. The good barrel profile, decent balanced (a bit of an end-load---but not very much) and the single-piece design performs well. Our hitters liked the feel, barrel size, and dad's liked the price point. Full Review

We aren't sure why the drop 10 for 2021 is now a 2 5/8 while the previous year's versions have been a 2 3/4. The bat hasn't changed in terms of its alloy and handle or end cap in the USSSA space. But, for whatever reason, it is now a 2 5/8 barrel. They dropped the drop 5 from the lineup (which was a 2 5/8). The bat still has plenty of sizes available so that's good, but they also bailed on vendor distribution (you can't find this anywhere but on Slugger's site) so it might be hard for some to find it. They also raised the price by $20 from last year. If you have not guessed yet, our suggestion would be to avoid the 2021 and buy a 2020 model. It's less expensive and has a bigger barrel. Full Review
