Reebok 2011 Melee Legend Max 34-Inch Sr. League Slow Pitch Bat

I took about 40 swings and it started webbing throughout the bat. I think its just in the paint. Feels good with decent pop.

I purchased the Reebok Melee Legend in the fall of 2011 and took it to Fla. when myself and a friend ( we are both Hoosiers) go to Clearwater and play softball all of Feb. & March of 2012. I thought I would be one of the few with this bat, however, on Fridays, when it is just pick-up games, we get guys from 6 or 7 other teams on our team and I go out the dugout to take B.P. and here is my bat with my name on it, and 5 or 6 others with the owner's name on it. So much for being a loner. Great bat, hits hard line drives and it can keep up with the Ultra II as far as distance. After using this bat for about 3 weeks down there, I had 3 or 4 guys from the team ask about it, since they saw the line drives,gappers, and long drives I hit. I am 6" ft. and 190 lb. so not a huge guy, but they were impressed and asked about getting one, and I told them that Amazon had the best price. When we go back in 2013, I will probably see even more of these bats at the games.

Prior to purchasing this bat I was using the Miken Ultra II in both red and black. I broke three of them in a year and a half. I take pride in taking care of my equipment (Not throwing bats against the fence or slaming it down on the ground). I play twice a week with friends averaging about 20 - 30 hits on medium compression balls.I purchased this bat in May 2011. I loved it from my first hit. 34/28 ounce end-loaded. I was crushing the ball which is a great feeling. It broke after 8 months..... I expected it to last at least a year to a year and a half. I am now switching to a bat with at least a 1 year warranty. I feel for the money we pay Miken, Reebok and other companies should at least back there product up with warranty for the money we pay......

In 2010 i broke 8 miken ultra II's. 5 in 5 weeks. The last one only had 60 hits on it. I am 59 years old.I wrote to miken and emailed with not a response. Then the meelee senior came out in Jan 2011. I ordered myfirst one got it Jan 5th (extra shipping paid). When it had 900+ hits on this bat with several home runs i ordered another. It preformedgreat out of the wrapper, but about 140 hits it really started preforming. Yes i counted every hit. After themiken fiasco i wasnt taking any chances. To make a long story shorter my first miken lasted to around 2300 hits.My second miken is at about 2200 and is close to breaking (i can feel ridges). So this is my third i just ordered.Also I have started using a bat sleeve(Tuff Sleeve) for my bats during practice (highly recommended). I live in The VillagesFlorida. Approx 2800 of us play senior softball. They are switching from miken ultra II to reebok meelee senior ata rapid pace. I play about 200 games a year and practice once or twice a week.

This bat is every bit as good as a Miken Ultra II. Not sure about the durability but so far it's better than the Ultra II. Guys on our team have broken at least 2 Ultra's a year. The 1st Reebok bat I bought has at least 200 hits on it without a mark. Bat opened up at around 100-150 hits. Last game hit 8 of 10 easily over a 280 ft. fence during bp and 3 of 4 during the game and I'm almost 62 years old. Bought 2 bats from Amazon and have talked numerous other people into buying them as well. In this part Florida Half-Century tournament at Carter Road in Mulberry FL you can see the tide shifting. At the beginning of the year 9 out of 10 players had Ultra II's. Now you're seeing half and half. Just put the 1st Reebok away (will use just for tournaments) and started breaking in the 2nd one. Amazing bat and you can't beat the Amazon price anywhere!

U sent me a 27 ounce I wanted 28

This is a great bat for the money. Nicely balanced with just enough end load to pump up your power. It won't last quite as long as other premium bats in my experience, but it doesn't break easily, either.

First off, shipping was the quickest I've ever experienced.This bat is amazing, enough said. It takes about 150-160 hits for it to break in and when it does watch out! I'm 5'9" 170 lbs and I was hitting close to 300 ft with little effort. At close to 100 hits I noticed stress fractures on the finish of the bat. They don't appear to be anything to worry about as the bat is performing fine.The only issue I've experienced is that my league requires the bats to be ASA certified and this bat IS NOT. So check with your league requirements before purchasing otherwise you'll have this amazing bat that you can't use like I have!
