Mizuno Youth Baseball Soft FRP Bat BeyondMax Giga King Model Number: 1CJBY15478 Size: 78cm, Average 600g Balance: Middle Balance Includes Case *Condition (Please Note) * My son used this for two years in youth baseball. There is considerable wear and tear on the tip and grip end, and the paint is peeling (please check the photos). * There is a crack of about 1cm x 1cm on the red surface cover of the sweet spot of the bat. *Please check the photos. (We have used it without any problems so far, but it may eventually peel off with use.) * Please consider this as a used item. * The grip tape hasn't been replaced for a while, and I think it can be used as is for a while (it's wrapped for a right-handed batter). [Random thoughts from a layman father who has watched youth baseball up close] It seems there are two types of BeyondMax: middle balance and top balance. Power hitters who have strength and aim for home runs prefer top balance or Beyond Legend, and this middle balance seems to suit those who produce a lot of mid-range hits. This middle balance seemed to suit my slender child, and he was happy because he could produce a lot of hits with just the right amount of repulsion to get through the left-center and right-center fields in terms of distance. Also, the color "red" seems cool to children. If you're hesitant to buy a new BeyondMax that costs nearly 40,000 yen, or if you're considering a supplementary bat for your team, please consider this one.
