I believe you're referring to Viper.

No, but that would make two. I'll look it up, I think it may have been Louisville Slugger.

I'm amazed that these bats even pass the test. The properties of wood are never consistent, and each bat will vary greatly.

The road test.

No, the 98 MPH certification.

Unless they're WAY below 98 MPH. They probably are.
