Over the past two weekends, I did 28 games in a large tournament. Miken Ultras abounded, and they cost a lot more than $99. The fence at the main field is 300 feet around and 10 feet high, and with the Ultras, anybody who plays slow pitch at higher than picnic level could hit a ball out. (They were using a 44 core Trump, I think.)
Balls also took odd flights out of the park. One line drive over shortstop went to the left, then to the right, then rose and shot over the fence. A line drive over the third baseman suddenly sank and appeared to travel straight down to hit about 25 feet behind him. The crowd was buzzing about that one. Those bats definitely do the hitting for the batter and rightly are banned.
Luckily, like many hot bats, they appear to die after a certain number of hits, so they won't be around much longer.
