[@anyaneez8628]

Will another smash hit video. My wife is currently at her boyfriend's baseball game and I'm here to see which BBCOR could help his average. You are a reliable source of information. Cheers mate

[@baseballbatbros]

🤣🧡

[@Michaellikescards]

You wife has a boyfriend?

[@MrPolitical2]

bro is not using that for his average 💀

[@RobMonroe97]

Yoooo what!?

[@JeremyJWatson]

Bruuuhh… what the cuck??

[@hank9th]

$100 BBCOR showdown when? Fractal vs Stringking Metal 1 would be a fun video.

[@sendAJtospace]

Gotta get the Stinger Guardian in there

[@nesssixteen6106]

I think Stringking has it beat tbh. The scales look something like this: Stringking Sweet spot: 7/10 Power: 10/10 Swing weight: 4/10 Marucci Fractal Sweet spot: 6/10 Power: 9/10 Swing weight: 5/10 Will also complained a little about the Fractal stinging a bit while I didn't hear him complain as much about the Stringking doing the same. Would still make for a cool video, though maybe a better comparison would be the F5.

[@flumffdragon]

So much to be happy about: new Bat Bros. video, Will hitting tanks, an affordable bat that seems really good, and doing the testing in the AAA Afiliate for the Brewers

[@Jsingle1922]

Hell ya. More reviews from remote ball parks. That's rad.

[@jaffleyfifteen5912]

Yes very desolate and remote area with skyscrapers

[@qwuzzy]

@@jaffleyfifteen5912 very small country town called nashville

[@resudeew2636]

I love the honestly. It's the reason your channel has done so well. You are 100% trusted.

[@LoreTunderin]

So many good budget options this year, need a new budget BBCOR showdown

[@M_Bullls8]

Atlas vs clout ai showdown? Who’s with me

[@BonkBats]

That would be sick

[@leonard6hhflores122]

Great 1v1 I’m going atlas but I’ve bin hooked on it sense it fist hit the scene ..my son has one plays high school ball I still play adult Sunday league and I have one too but the clout ain’t is a beast too

[@ZacharyHarnett]

With the code also would be nice

[@tomlaw8821]

I even like the black and green. I might be picking up that code very soon.

[@ZacharyHarnett]

The code vs the clout ai would be fun to see. It would be interesting to see if the code only looks good because of the competition

[@USArmyVet91]

Code.. Fractal. Unbelievable bargains. Great job, appreciate ya!

[@EthanP146]

this vid is yet another common Bat Bros W

[@GSDadd]

I don't even play baseball but look forward to every new review. Love this channel

[@MillsAmmunition]

Brother just keep keeping on bud! Love and appreciate your no BS straight up reviews.

[@achildr1]

Will doesn’t give a crap what Marucci thinks. Love it.

[@darryldolan3373]

You know it's a good day when they've a video up! Loving the work

[@Leland387]

7:12 that’s what she said 😂😂

[@MoIsDaGOAT]

Yo I opened the comments, saw this, and the exact time I looked at this was 7:12 in the vid. I kid u not.

[@saladederizsauvage]

A woman would not say that, but you tried.

[@colbyneal8654]

Standing over the plate like a boss Sittin on it Dominatin All encompassingly Good stick Good stick She’s a beaut She’s a beaut I’m outstanded Very level swing Into the horizon It goes

[@CW-CardboardBaseball]

Damnit man-I live in Smashville!!! Would’ve been so dope to see y’all in town!

[@gregs9187]

Another $500 bat sent to the boneyard discount rack by Triple B😂

[@HoldynSeymour]

Real

[@kevinkurowski1235]

Hope you enjoyed HRDX! Love seeing the Dollys hat at the end.

[@titan_six]

I live near Nashville, this would have been really cool to go watch

[@Twentyone711]

My dad keep on talking about the prime meta and how good he thinks it gonna be so good so please do a review even tho I still think the icon gonna be better

[@cooperhitstanks]

bro i love first horizon. i live in nashville

[@familyolugbile7934]

That hit the guitar with the baum bat

[@CarsonScriber]

Don't even play with BBCOR for another 6 years, just here for the great content!

[@zacharythomson4743]

I still have the original Marucci Black that got banned after its first year in 2012. Would love to see how it stacks up against some of these new models even after all this time

[@robertflint4115]

That's why BBB's rock. $$$ do not equal dingers and Will isn't afraid to be honest. 🤘😎

[@DoublePlay21]

I really hope he’s doing reviews once my son grows up!!

[@WanSmithTV]

Bro you guys are at the Nashville Sounds stadium in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.. that field is so dope.. good memories 🙏🏾🔥

[@Twitch_sharped]

You might not see this but I was there and I was the one in the cast and right by the door where you went in and out😂

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

10:29 you almost hit someone walking by 😂

[@Callhimlin]

seeing the marucci code vs like a cat 8 or something would be cool

[@almightysosa8395]

"It's far super far" ball still bounces off the guitar with the Baum Bat.

[@Baseball_editz_1623]

You should do the different types of grip tape the 0.5 1.1 and the 1.8 just for fun

[@MrBlackFabio]

If I was a high schooler, I would use that Code bat for games and the Fractal for BP. Two bats for $300 vs one for $500? You do the math.

[@ElmosAwesomeWorld]

Will always has amazing shoes on when will we get a kicks rotation video

[@Travis_Holliday]

Been watching for months.. literally just somehow noticed ur at Vin g field all the time.. been there a million times and live 35 miles away in prineville.. kinda crazy cause it was random seeing a vid..

[@coopercowan8942]

Will, I would like to see you redo this entire same test but with the same marucci $500 bat but get another one. I say this because when I was in college, I ordered a $400 bat and it sucked so I returned it for the same model and it was 5x better. Maybe you just got a faulty one 🤷‍♂️

[@davidrobinson2005]

How did you like First Horizon Park? I think it is a beautiful little park tucked into downtown Nashville.

[@SamS-e9k]

Willl I just got the code at it’s so underated

[@SleepyProds-gw4dk]

Who else thing he should be with Pottstown 🖐️

[@RodneyHorn-bv7ck]

Heck yeah!

[@JordanMcKernin]

Video idea - USSSA rolled composite bat vs out of the wrapper composite bat.

[@DTDSasquatch]

I doubt they would do this, as they probably don't want to give the impression they condone bat rolling.

[@JordanMcKernin]

@@DTDSasquatch probably right, sounds logical. Thanks for the response

[@davidpilotto6640]

Will! Please review the $350 USA Hype Fire!!!

[@tylerscommentary]

It’s ridiculous how much of a difference good balls make

[@ECropp-uz4pw]

Will, can you do a re-review of the stinger guardian? It is 100 dollars now.

[@blaner1001]

I appreciate the Jordan 2s

[@TBIRD0625]

You should do a most vs least expensive for every lineup and see how far apart they actually are

[@187Overkillah]

Will you’re ruthless on your reviews. But that’s what makes you successfull, see 600k subs and even people in Europe talk about you. Keep it up

[@aaronjasiak5855]

I’m at a Marucci school. We didn’t get the code to try out. Would you recommend I get it over the connect?

[@liamwhittington7577]

Pls do the new atlas 2025 next

[@cowetascore8476]

He did that one already

[@zackarybellau9461]

Lol the ceramic easton is better than the cat x 2 comp

[@matthewplante1746]

Hey Will, looking to get a Select Pwr for my son. Would it be better to save up for the 2024 model or snag the 2023 while I can for $289 on sale. Thanks! ⚾🇺🇲

[@bobho-un7be]

It is a repaint. Get the old one.

[@53sled]

​@@bobho-un7be shoot get a used one.

[@Michaellikescards]

I love this channel so much

[@jaccoridarden9059]

Your shoe game crazy love the video thou

[@Ben-rq5re]

Will out here just breaking the hearts of marketing departments

[@allisonaddington1302]

Can you try and do the bbcor 2025 zen

[@parkerstallard5303]

WE NEED THE NEW 2025 OMAHA REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@user-tl8tb8io9c]

I’ve been asking for a Mizuno bbcor…. Where’s the love at man

[@ZEEmtl]

French Canada ❤ Baseball Bat Bros tabarnakkkk

[@Sparkling_Willows]

Will, are you swinging 32’s here or 33’s?

[@J.JamesTheKid.]

All new composites should be rolled to help the breaking in process then tested. Have them really broken in.

[@LiamMorrill-u9w]

Do you think in the future, will there ever be a 26-point bat or even a 27?

[@bkollective]

Please review first gen BBCORs. 2011-2012

[@josephsuriel3538]

Top USA bats??? Awesome video!!!

[@jabezriosdesabato1657]

LETS GOOO THE NEW MARUCCIS

[@Travis_Holliday]

Really have been super curious if u get to get the balls back from grocery outlet roof lol been bugging me

[@benleasure8502]

Atlas vs Clout AI???

[@kidwiththebook6484]

Use this camera more often!

[@JBDrake]

Day 1 of asking for a new select pwr vs the goods 2-piece showdown with recommendations of which one.

[@QUISUPNXT]

Will can you do F5 vs fractal

[@baseballbatbros]

F5 is a lil better

[@Chrisbb10]

Will u will not regret trying out the 2016 Easton s2z bbcor

[@BonkBats]

You should review the cat 8 bbcor compared to the cat x2 bbcor

[@cumberbatchpepperpot]

Great video

[@Cam-rw6qq]

Serious question, do bat companies hit test and use data???

[@samwalters8918]

You’ve got a pass to hit the guitar anytime, Will

[@hendersonhow2andreview17]

Come on bring out "the woods" ....inquiring minds need to know !!!

[@406fanatic]

I couldn’t hate the sound of that composite more

[@brandoncrittenden3939]

I would use the Code

[@CamSvll]

It’s pretty much the goats to the bad😂made me die😂😂😂😅

[@mike8610]

Nashville Sounds park - First Horizon Park. Brewers AAA affiliate.

[@mikeballard1695]

Do the MAV1 2024 my school just switched to Rawlings from Marucci. I think the mav gives the clout and atlas a run for the money.

[@AndrewCoco-q4g]

Yo will I’m 11 5’8 180 and I want to swing a -8 usssa bat that’s durable but able to bat with power what bat should I swing

[@SvendleBerries]

Would the Marucci CatX2 at least do well against zombies, maybe?

[@aidannigh2673]

review the 2017 rawlings 5150

[@coasterjj8535]

Please do a 2025 usssa showdown everyone is asking and this is my 8th time asking pleaseee do it

[@JimBarricks]

Can you review the bonesaber one pice agin love the vids

[@7y2oN]

Paying that much for a baseball bat is just wild

[@michaelstrane3254]

The old Marucci Connect Composite (white with green lettering) sounded like that, and they were not that good in my opinion. Also sounds a bit like the old white Easton Mako.

[@sebastian0327editz]

Yoooo I live right outside of Nashville Tennessee

[@jakebigham8603]

What bat is best for someone who owes you money? Asking for a friend

[@918guy]

There just isn't enough room in the BBCOR spec for composite barrel with current technology. At best you get equivalent performance with the added cost and decrease in durability.

[@NashvilleDollysBaseball]

Love the hat :)

[@richb8291]

All of these BBCOR videos and I still have yet to see any real good reason to spend anything more than 200 bucks on any BBCOR. I'd like to see the StringKing Metal 2 thrown in to another battle with some of these budget bats.

[@cowetascore8476]

Swing an Atlas. You'll see the difference.

[@Baseball4life160]

YES,

[@markbloxton9366]

What collab is that proper hat?

[@KobiHameed]

audio sounds like its only using will's mic

[@ptodaro5756]

Swung catx 2. After swinging an Atlas I wouldn’t pay 50 bucks for it. Such a disappointment. I thought they had to make it better after 2 straight duds.

[@KyleAndrew]

The Helicopter was dope. Your first Call of Duty collab

[@michaelcarter2797]

Yes!!!!

[@damonbell8050]

Can you please to a new softball bat bros video soon !!!!!!
