PRIME 917 vs. META | Louisville Slugger Old vs. New BBCOR Showdown... gone wrong 😬

SdĂ­let

  • čas pƙidĂĄn 15. 03. 2021
  • The Bat Bros try out another old vs. new BBCOR comparison:
    the 2017 Louisville Slugger Prime 917 2-piece composite BBCOR vs. the 2021 Louisville Slugger Meta 2-piece composite BBCOR.
    You can checkout the L.S. Meta BBCOR here:
    www.justbats.com/product/2021...
    And you're probably not going to find a used 917 for a very good price - we had to pay $200 for ours and it was kinda messed up.
    Visit baseballbatbros.com/ to see our top-ranked BBCOR and USSSA baseball bats!

    Ok so if the bat is actually doctored you have to compare it to the Prime 2020 and some -5 composite bat. If it is way better than the prime and very close to the -5 then it is 100% rolled or shaved

    As a hockey player who found your channel through the mysteries of the algorithm, and got addicted to the crack of a good bat I usually have nothing to say, but I used to play hockey with a guy who claimed to be one of the world's most notorious bat shavers. He claimed to doctor bats for collegiate athletes and Olympians in baseball and softball. I wonder if this bat is his handy work.

    The bat is shaved for sure. I just got back from hitting with a USSSA bat and the pitch is super similar. So loud
    Rolling doesn't change the pitch as much as shaving and all rolling does is break in the bat for you so that you have no dead spots
