I just bought a exo air and im not really a fan. But i used a red torque today and i loved it but then of course i started to get into which torque i should get the red or orange one.
Or is there another hot bat out there?

in the summer we use all the team bats from last year and i never used the torque last year(the red one) but i did last week and managed to hit a ball out of our yard and i did the same thing last summer with the orange one. after using both i honestly think they are the exact same. i used to have some bad thoughts about the red one because our team cracked 4 in two weeks last season, but it was cold weather. in warm weather they are the same

i have come to find that the orange is great. its something about the feel to me.
but in complete honesty i was using the black handled torque with the orange barrel the whole season before my friend go the orange handled black barrel.
i have come to realize after using one of the older models of the nike bat, that i dont thin it really matters what bat you use. bats these days are all great, its just what you think feels right to you.
i bought the catalyst (32"/29) and my team loved it, i hated it. its not the bat that gets the hit for you, its just a tool.
Whatever it is, and it may be hype, superstition, marketing, etc, the orange handle - black head Torque 32 & 33 is favored by a disproportionate number of hitters in all of the HS, legion and college games I see. Note I say hitters and not batters. A batter is going to go out and buy a fancy new bat to look cool. A hitter is beyond all of that. They know what works and don't have to have a new $400 bat to impress people.
just as an afterthought, sportsonly.com has -3 red and black torques for $119, best price anywhere.
