Absolutely love the fact you brought up the repaints. So many bat companies put new graphics or new paint on the same bat for 3 years and list new “tech” but you set them side by side and everything lines up perfectly. New bats are a scam unless they do what cat did with the 2 piece and the connect and composite.
The Vanta is a repaint of the CATX. They tell you that. Charging $50 more for black paint
Thank you so much bat Bros I have have watched all of your videos and I drove 4 hours to come watch your home run derby in Salem! Thank you for posting
We had the Combat -10 for 11U, it was an awesome bat. We got the Combat B2 ATB at 13U as a BP bat and we love it. I also got a Select Power to move to an alloy/end loaded for Winter Months. for Half the price, there's just not that big a difference between the Combat and any other bat out there.
BRO I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A BAT UNDER $150 RN LIKE 2 SECONDS AGO
The old Vandal is 99.99 on victus site and black magic is 79 on hq4sports
We have 2 Combats, and every time I think about going up a size, I want to get another one.
You're better off saving up and getting the warstic bonesaber HYBRID it's $380
@@tesoroofall8499it’s on sale right now, might be last years model. I agree though!
Bought 2 easton maxum ultras for 150.
My Son has been Swinging the Combat B2 for the last 2 years. Best all around bat that Nobody is swinging. BBCOR is sometimes a Popularity contest. Meta, DeMarini ect. But the Combat is right there. I purchased it right after the video with you & JT on that Huge field swinging the 32” version
I'm so glad you gave the Combat B2/Maxum/Maxum 360 some love because that's actually my favorite bbcor bat. It swings like a Voodoo one but it's more forgiving and just as hot. I have NO idea why it didn't become more popular.
My lineup for budget bats if I were to pick would be the Easton/ Combat Maxum/B2 for light swinging, select 716 for midswingingl all-rounder (Stringking Metal 2 if you want a warranty), and stinger nuke for that endloaded BOMB dropper (it's also 150 bucks, y'all should've added it here)
That ball that went 453ft it went 3/4 up in the pole but was still traveling. It was that far
stringking metal is one of the best investments you can make, lasts a very long time, great in game and a great BP bat that has a ton of pop. overall a top 5 bat i’ve ever swung considering price and performance
Bought the Combat B2 ATB a couple weeks before this and and it really is a great feeling bat
I got a cat 6 bbcor for 30 bucks off Facebook to hit with during the cold months the thing is juiced good pop and sweet spot. pretty balanced and like 150 bucks max. Insane for price.
TLDR: It's awesome that you don't edit out the times that you're wrong on the exit velo predictions.
Digging the content as always, but I've gotta give you credit for one specific aspect that I truly appreciate about these videos.
While you are often dead on calling out the exit velos before the reading is radioed in, you don't edit out the times when you're surprised by the reading. At the very least, it makes it feel real. Love that!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for them to make!
Santa is bringing my 9 year old a -10 DeMarini Zoa that I found on Ebay for $150. I felt it was cheap enough that I can be the warranty. I appreciate your content. Seeing every bat in use is amazing. My son used the Easton Quantum -11 in 8u last season.
My nephew, who just turned 12 uses a Stringking USA 32” -11 and USSSA 32” -5 hit 2 grand slams with each !
I can hit better probably
@@Nasishim The kid amazes me and everyone that watches. All I can do is keep him enjoying the game !
@@19cohiba75 amazing of your newphew he can probably hit better than me! I wish I could see the Grand slam!
Just bought my son a Cat6 from Just Bats. He's playing varsity baseball. Was on the fence verse the B2 atb. I got the Cat6 because it was used($100 and it looks almost unused), I think the B2 would probably be the better bat though. Want a lighter swinging contact bat. He loves the Cat6 though, feels a 1000% better than the Easton Speed -3 he was using.
String king had farthest distance and highest exit velo. Needed more love
I used the combat this year and loved it
You guys should definitely review the Mav 1 from Easton?? Please
The boys and I love watching these videos, every hitter is different, and every at bat is different. That being said, last year, my 8 year old who turned 9 playing 10U, was swinging the String King all year. The older boys were busting his chops because his dad was cheap and wouldn't spend more money on his bat. Fast forward 19 games, in the championship game "C level" down by 1, bottom 6, runners on second and third one out, little man hits a two run double to right center. The boys went on to win by 3. Put a bat on the ball, when it counts, is what I try to teach the boys, String King could never make another bat ever, but will always be a legend for those boys.
I’d love to see one of these bats get shaved or rolled and go against the more expensive bats!
Wish I was kid watching your content cause I’m a PO now lol, keep it up!!
First time seeing your channel, love it. You rake. Short stroke, lots of power. Would've loved this video 15 years ago when picking metal bats, will definitely check out the wood videos. Keep stroking.
That velo was my go-to in juco. Loved that thing
The only reason bats like the B2 aren’t as popular is because they don’t cost $400+. Marketing and hype plays as much of a factor as anything.
So happy to see combat make an appearance finally. Remember when the blue b2 got banned mid season for us back in the day
Nice vid happy thanksgiving
Your videos are so good I am a huge fan keep up the good work
Suggestion, balls that hit at or near the wall you should get the distance read since you know the dimensions of the field and can verify the accuracy of the distance.
My oldest son went through 3 Combat B2 BBCOR bats. Crazy hot bats but 2 broke within weeks! And he was just hitting underhand soft toss. I still recommend it though
Slight correction: True Temper did not close their doors. They actually bought 44 Pro. Which is surprising because I was waiting for the day for True to sell off their baseball division to focus on hockey and golf. They’re MASSIVE in both of those.
Very true I have a true temper shaft and it is pretty good
They probably had enough from their hockey and golf money to bu 44pro and just get those guys to work their baseball division for them
My go to for baseball bat recimendations
Love what you do bud!!
My son has both the Combat ATB and the HZRDS and is a 7th grader, both are BBCOR 31/28. The combat doesn't leave the house, its been relegated to tee duty in the backyard. He LOVES the HZRDS and he let a few of his teammates try it and they all loved it as well.
it's legit.
Can you guys try and swing thw old marucci black and marucci black 2????!!!!
I gamed the B5 2021-23 and just got a Mav1. Easton on top 🙌
We picked up several of the bats on this list for under $100 new, because places were just trying to get rid of them for the 2023/24 newer bats.
Ultrawide with the crop in. Chefs kiss 👌🏼
Hey, I have been wondering for awhile you think is a good bat for me? I’m in 12u so USSSA not power hitter kinda just contact. Right now I’m using cat 9 connect pastime. Got a better bat?
He found rain fascinating yet unpleasant.
Is that the same true temper that makes my golf club shafts?
I would bet so. HZRDUS is doing the same thing.
@@mrfelps9463 once I saw that one I figured it has to be. It makes sense. I’m sure similar technology and materials.
Happy thanksgiving Will
We need either a monitor with the readings down by the plate so will can see it or something..”What’s that” after every single swing in every video is getting a litttttttle old. I absolutely love this channel, I love the vids(I watch every video as soon as they drop) that’s just my 1 critic. You guys could also just have her read the velo and the distance after every swing as soon as the reading pops up so Will isn’t constantly asking for it👌🏼 good video though, keep up the great work Will.
Definitely the "True hdrst" looked more lighter really good sweat spot the B2 is really good but that hzdrst was doing it all even in exit velocity
What is the best drop 3 baseball bat?
Managed to pick up a CAT9 for $70 at play it again and the thing serves its purpose that’s for sure. Maybe not as good as a brand new bat but the feel is insanely solid for so cheap
I always loved the sound of a marucci.
hey can you guys do a review on the stinger missle S!?
Where did you get that warstic bag we’ve been waiting for it for years
I bought the rival on the fly because it was on sale and I needed one to tryout for my highschool team. My bat isnt as club like as the one in the vid but its odd adjusting to a power bat as a contact hitter
You need to test the Anderson bbcor bat.
Interested to see how it would swing. It’s priced at $250
Can yall do the metal 2 vs the hazardous?
One of these days you gotta get permission to get up on the grocery store and get all your balls back.🤣
Thats a grocery store?!🤣 i thought it was a campus the whole time lmaooo🤣😭🤣🤣
Been a fan for a looooong time. With that being said, The Shoe Game is always impressive. Oh yeah shout-out to HZRDS on making a great sleeper. Found this at play it again sports for like $80. Easton has another bbcor sleeper the Quantum. It was $60 when I got it a year ago now it's 80+. Might be worth a try for the under 100 club.
Have you ever tried the addidas one piece alloy? I got one for our our 15u travel team. Bat is hot.
Vandal 2 is $99 right now!
that first swing was so smooth 😩
That ball is hammered.
Easton Encore is a sleeper for hitters who can handle endload. Puzzled why Will dislikes it so much. Rawlings Icon was also unpopular in college baseball, yet it's a banger.
My son uses an Encore as a practice/backup bat. He hits bombs with it -- noticeably more pop compared to other bats. Says it feels like a good, endloaded one-piece. Would not hesitate to game it if his Stinger Guardian broke.
Look for the easton maxum 360 used for well under $100 and already broken in.
Factual
My most fav video just bombs and fav CZcamsr I been watching you since 2020
This channel needs an Australian spinoff, the cricket bat bros.
Love the content guys.
Can you do a review on 2022 easton quantum drop 3 bbcor vs louivil slugger power select
Is there going to be a video on the Nuke 3 and Missle S or are they just repaints?
I have HZRDUS shafts in my golf clubs. Lol
They just released the new Stinger Nuke 3 BBcor it looks sick and y’all need to review it
Been waiting 3937449220203847371929034 years for the bat bros to make a video on cheap bats
Y’all gotta review all the Rawlings velos it would be such a good vid
You guys should try the Easton Zcore lock and Load
Got one. Only swung it 3 times. There is a reason it's no longer made
Can t believe they are making another quantum that bat was my All time favorite
I use the easton quantum. Makes sense why i either hit it 2 inches or 500 miles.
TY
Not trying to be negative, just wondering why you moved to having someone outside radioing in the velo and distance. Seemed way quicker and more efficient when you just had the tablet inside with you and you could just look at it after each swing
those Fabletics joggers are legit some of the best pants I have ever owned.
What is Easton brought back the reflex for one year that would be insane
Not 150 but I got a select pwr 2020 for 180 few months ago great bat
My son is 13 and is looking at the CatX vanta or the DeMarini CF USSSA which one would you recommend? Or do you have any other recommendations?
CatX
New stinger missile review ?
Bro thank you I bought the marucci f5 and I'm already hittin dingers
What do you think of New Easton's Black MAgic super bat? its supeeeerrr ??
Can you review the soldier tank?
What about the Axe Strato that just went down to $99 for a contact hitter?
The Combat B2 ATB is $170 for 31 and 32 😢
I really wanna see the C-Core Easton Reflex vs the Hype Fire
Vapor is fine for me just needs a little extra tape , great video btw
I notice the Rapsodo radar is different from the Pocket Radar where the Rapo does not lose velocity if the angle is anything beyond true horizontal....if you use the pocket radar and have any angle of elevation, the speed shows less but the ball still goes a long way....i wonder what the tech is that makes them different.....probably the 6-800 dollar price difference
I think the price difference is in the thousands...
I had the True HZRDOUS before watching this video. It's a good bat. It has a great sweet spot, but it does not last, I got through 1 season before it lost all juice.
Can you review a 2011 easton omen bbcor vs easton xl1 bbcor. Thanks
Was just thinking of the Omen! Used to have it and bat was stupid hot.
Did he ever review the Easton Speed 32/29 -3?
I was able to pick up a new Maxum ultra for $80 and a new Warstic gunner for $150
@baseballbatbros I've got a tall, slender 13-year-old who is not the strongest. What BBCOR bat do you recommend?
The 2022 gunner is down to $100, how do you think it will match up in this group
Easton brings back memories I'm a 90s kid
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone watching!🤍🙏🏼
You too
You should try out the new Marruci F5
I had to get two combats and both of them the endcap broke off
Would it be possible to test the 2023 one piece bonesaber. My 16yr old likes this better than his 2023 bonesaber hybrid. Can you revisit this please
He also has a atlas which is nice but not quite like the bonesaber one piece.
Please review tucci bat's 🙏🏼
someone needs to tell Combat to bring back the team combat softball bats. the black and red barrel specifically. those things were hot as fuck
Were these "broken in" already or fresh out the box?
Used the b2 for fall ball this year n it’s juiced
why no easton speed?
