-3 vs. -2 vs. -1 Wood Bat Performance Test

[@newguyoz]

Love to see this stuff. Basically it's Baseball bat university. Or product testing for all the bat manufacturers. Either way it's a massive deal for educating both novice baseball players and professional bat manufacturers. You guys are legendary for doing this.

[@Tevatron044]

Yo where were you when i was doing my friggin study! Lmao I'm doing my next thesis on the effects of wood density as a function of BBCOR because it's a dramatically understudied property. I'm gonna save my goodies for my personal study, but wood density affects more than just the momentum you put into the ball. It also affects BBCOR, flex, and durability. A high density bat will hit the ball further because it deforms less. It is stiffer so mishits have a different feel, and higher density wood is definitely has a benefit of increased durability. High density bats should last you around 9000 hacks. I made a high density turn model and have hit on the label NUMEROUS times with no breakage (i suck that's why) Wood bats have so much freedom and variety in baseball. You can change the feel of the bat with just a few changes to density and volume. A 110 drop 1.5 has the same MOI as a drop 3 243, but is way more durable and hits the ball harder with slightly less sweet spot. An uncupped i13 at 2.5 has the same swing weight as a cupped drop 3 243 with more pop and sweet spot but with a fatter handle. The best thing a player can do is try them out and never go by the conventional mindset

[@baseballbatbros]

Love it bro!

[@Thurokiir1]

Holy crap, this is a video waiting to get made.

[@EHMSL1226]

So true. Massive misconception is that a 271 or a 110 is a "contact bat" when really the slimmer turn model allows for higher density and thus more distance.

[@kennethmccall2975]

Y'all's content on bats is second to none! Good luck this year Trace and JT!

[@ninja_adw]

nothing better than a video from yall on a Friday night let's goooo

such a cool video! probably one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen you guys make

[@joseromo6708]

PowerBull are awesome bats! So glad they got a chance to be on! They made a custom made bat for my son that has been nothing but awesome! El Paso proud!

[@Ireland831]

When I was a little kid a family member that didn't know much about baseball, got me a Louisville Turn Model 9 Johnny Bench. He thought I could hit it way out there...LOL....turns out it is a 34" x 37.5oz...wow. As a goof I used it in the batting cages and while it is heavy, it swings nice...the ball just jumps. I used it in my 30 and over wood bat league and everyone used it...never thought such a heavy bat would get so much use. My normal size is a 33" but sometimes move down to 32". Aluminum 33". Turns out my bats weigh out to 33" x 30oz. A 243 in maple that is end loaded and M110 more balanced. I like using an ash 271. It looks like a toothpick...but it bangs. I miss the days of using my 33" x 28oz -5 with 2 3/4" barrel...before they were banned...LOL. That thing would trampoline balls off the barrel and hitting off the hands could still get you a base hit. Interesting to see that the -2 seemed to be the sweetspot. I always thought a -3 was my target weight, but I focused more on swing feel and bat turn than actual weight. Fun vid...thx

[@SpoitZ-h1l]

One of my favorite videos by yall

[@jacobh.f.9609]

I joined a men's league last year and my girlfriend bought me my first wood bat for my birthday. She didn't understand weight so she got me a cupped Louisville 243 Birch that was 33/33. When I found out that drop 3 was a thing before the season started... I got nervous lol but the bat is so ridiculously good on miss hits that what would normally be a pop-up to the 3rd baseman ends up carrying into a deadzone in left field. Was crazy hard to get around at first, but I'm a bigger guy, 6 foot and 205 lbs, and I ended up being our league's batting average champ (.529) also, I've had the bat for over a year now and it just won't break.

[@TheAngeloPrisco]

Had to decide whether to leave the like counter at 271 or click it and change it to 272. Tough decision.

I got a louisville slugger prime 915 bbcor for you guys to maybe test out for a video but only thing its a 31 incher so not the 33s you guys normally use

[@brk2433]

Should try a challenge of 32” 31 oz bat and keeping the 31 oz but with increasing length. so having the same weight distributed over length of barrel can be a nice little experiment

Long and light vs short and heavy: Alex Bregman's gammer is a 35-1/2" drop 4, 110 turn

[@baseballbatbros]

The lightest drop weight you’re allowed to use in Major League Baseball is a drop 3.5 - so that may have been exaggerated a bit lol

[@ericjeanlouis1941]

Is there any difference in a 1 handed release follow through and a 2 handed follow through or is it more just preference

[@jkap7128]

I subconsciously switch between both with my swing and I find that it makes no difference for me

[@thomasmarquet5470]

Why not go a -1 but put an ounce or so into the knob so the weight is closer to the body on initial swing? Would that help it?

[@haydenmcd11]

Not necessarily related to the video, but have you guys swung any of the victus V-cuts? I’m looking for a few budget bats for my upcoming season and am wondering if those are worth it or if I should look elsewhere.

[@ashbeauman9345]

Amazing how 1oz can change things. A 1oz bag of Doritos is just 10 corn chips. Thinking of that weight added to a bat doesn’t seem much to effect things. I guess once you get accustomed to a certain weight anything heavier is an complete adjustment.

[@Tied_with_Aloha]

Aye, idk about you but 10 corn chips can change my day. For better or worst.
