Mantra+ or 3.0?
I've been looking to buy a new bat for a while, and I found these two online. I'm interested in both the 2023 rawlings mantra+, and 2025 rawlings mantra 3.0. I don't have the money, interest, or my size bat available online for any other kinds. I figured the newer one would be better, but I've heard it breaks and durability isn't always that great. I've also seen a lot of positive reviews for the +, so I wasnt sure. Haven't been able to find anyone comparing them directly either.
I'm playing u17, and my size is 33in drop 10. I'm probably an in between of contact and power hitter? Not sure lol. I'm mainly worried about durability, power, and feel. I really don't want one that will break immediately, but I'll also use it on tee and store it properly so Im not sure how much of a concern it is. I do also live in Canada and may use it during winter occasionally, if they're affected by climate. Power isnt the biggest concern of the three but I'd still like one with good pop.
