2006 Mizuno Envy 98mph
ASA Approved 34" 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30oz
My Own Personal Review of the Mizuno Envy
Mizuno has rebounded nicely from a nearly fatal mistake of releasing a sub par performing blur early in the season. Dont get me wrong, the BLUR wasnt by any means a terrible bat, it just wasnt anything near what the Crush or even Fury/Rage were... The new Envy is everything you would expect from the makers of the crush, and will definately be one of the top selling bats of the new year. It has a great feel, and is amazingly endloaded for an ASA bat... I had no trouble swinging the 27oz bat after swinging my b1 27oz EL for over 4 months... The switch was simple and only took about 4-5 swings to get used to the new bat... The envy has to be broken in, so please give it at least 200 swings before you judge it... Anything before then and you wont be seeing its true performance. This bat is great for all compression balls, as we tested it with .40 375, .44 375, .44 525, .47 525, and even .50 525 balls... It hit them all very well, and was performing even with the crappy .40 cor's... My test model has approx 500 swings on it with no signs of any dents, cracks or other failure. I would say if your looking for a top tier bat, but dont want to spend $300+, then the $249 Envy is the bat for you!
