I don't know you but you ask if you would be wasting your time. Personally I think you are. I'm really good friends with Rusty Bumgardener as well as Jeff Hall, the two big Mizuno guys and unless your getting one from them I suggest you try there new bat that's coming this year. Saw Rusty hit it in the Winter Natl, it was really good. Again the Envy is just not that good as far as velocity off the bat nor distance. I would suggest the Mayhem. Just trying to help.
