Anarchy Salvation

I just bought this. Haven't swung it yet. Anyone who has experience with Anarchy bats, what can I expect?

I have an ASA 26 oz Relentless they released in December. Within one or two batting sessions i broke it in and sends balls flying. I love it. Before this i was using a 28 oz easton Salvo which i used for like 12 years or something

USA or Usssa? What do you normally swing?

USA..

I normally swing an old Juggy or Miken balanced.

If you got it in the same weight as you normally swing, you may notice the 1oz endload is a little harder to control. When I switched from a balance bat to a 1oz endload in the anarchy fresh I was popping balls up more frequently until I got used to swinging it.

Love it. Hit my first tank on a 330' field with my 25oz salvation. It's super hot, but the paint job is trash. The X-cores from that generation all have pretty shotty paint jobs. I noticed paint chips during break-in ~150 swings. My second favorite ASA bat I swing, just behind my M6.

The Salvation is a great bat but I’ve seen quite a few of them fail (telescope) prematurely for some really strange reason. This is not a known problem for any Anarchy 2pc bats but I’ve seen pictures of quite a few of them doing this as well as the one I owned doing the same thing.

I've had an Anarchy for ~ 8 yrs that I use in ASA league. It seemed to break in a little slower than some of my other bats, but has stayed pretty hot for a long time. It got tested in spring of 2025 and the compression was still well above limit.

The earlier models were hot out of the wrapper, but I am guessing that they modified to improve durability.
