My follow up compression test gave me just over 250 on the tester which makes sense since we swung the APG a bunch in warm weather and didn’t give it a chance to cool down. In my opinion this is the best bat LS has put out to date. OG APG and Brady’s 240 were my 2 favorites before this drop.

[@Block434054]

I love Brady bat and Pass Em Out 3.0

[@tonycIII7999]

Thank you for the follow up! Makes a big difference. Appreciate you all!

[@mikegrose3237]

The only caveat I'd add is if both bats were 26oz, instead of the 27oz OG APG, I'm guessing the Velo would have matched even better. However, after seeing this, I'm excited to swing the new APG4 when it drops.

[@jameswebster4840]

I always appreciate your honest reviews and opinions. With that said, I just ordered mine today and it's on the way. I saw the break in information on LS web-site. I do soft toss and BP quite a bit so it won't take long. Your opinions as well as Big Chef are the ones I trust the most. Keep up the great work!

[@AustronesianMullet]

Those 220 LS Genesis bats were the hottest 220s ever. Pretty nice that the 240's can match them at similar compression.

[@JoshuaSabino]

Great work on your videos! Your insight is much appreciated! How would you compare this bat to the new 1- piece OG Griffey and the bedlam 1 piece?

[@drodz]

Good stuff dude! That matte paint is a +. Gotta get 1.

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Appreciate it. Id highly recommend it. ADS35 to save you some money!

[@dswan3199]

Love the mjf music at the end

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Thanks. Been trying to do some little things to increase the quality

[@gporr7004]

If you’re a good hitter any bat will work. Ok some will Give you a little more pop than others sure but the tech nowadays is great no matter the company. So there is no special pill with this either. If you suck as a hitter a good bat ain’t helping you

[@brianrichmond460]

Would like to see a comparison of the latest Louisville Genesis demo and rating them.. curious since some same specs if resprays or are they different? this one sounds hot.. love the 1 piece.

[@robertandes9753]

I hope they come out with a 2 piece model like they did with the bubblegum. Need a new .75 EL two piece.

[@waynegoulder5408]

How would you compare the APG4 to the one piece Bedlam?…awesome videos👍🏻

[@mustardtiger9615]

What’s supposed to be the difference in the PowerTech composite compared to the power x-coil tech composite?

[@MikeJohnson-kp5yc]

Thanks!

Thanks for the support man. Appreciate it! 🙏🏽

Should do a budget Bat video brother 👆🏼 all bats from 150$-300$ taxes in. I know their must be some gems out their

[@jameswebster4840]

I broke mine in over the weekend as they state on the LS site. It's hitting really good already. My question is, does that tingy sound go away eventually or is that the way it's going to sound always???

[@djbayne]

Any mention of how many swings are on the OG 220 APG after testing at the end of the video?

[@user-fw3fk8zh3e]

Picked up the new balanced one piece Genny and it got a paint seam 10 swings in as well. I wish they would figure out the paint issues

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

What balls were you using if you don’t mind me asking?

[@user-fw3fk8zh3e]

@@AverageDudesSlowpitch 52s

[@michaelborchardt1527]

if i can get an andy purcell 2022, a griffy 2022, would you buy one of those, or this apg4, what would you go with for hitting longballs ?

[@MrAlexvizz]

Been loving the bat, but man I cant seem to find the sweet spot yet. Jammed a lot during BP.

[@JaredNikolic]

Great work on the video! I'm now torn between keeping or returning the Brady that I ordered, and getting this instead. I'm in Canada and hit 52s (unfortunately). Which would you recommend, Brady or APG4? Thanks!

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Oof, that’s a tough one. My 2 favorite hats. You’ll be plenty happy with the Brady though. But you also won’t be disappointed if you make the switch.

[@SluggerStark]

Dude, that Brady is a good bat. 12 inch barrel + full ounce end load KILLS 52's.

[@dannyfauteux2518]

Should have asked on the new APG video but if only using hot dots (Canada) would you pick the big chef onyx or the new APG? No luck finding a Resmondo. Forgot to mention no testing done.

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

That’s a close one but I feel like the APG is the choice there

[@hurkronald]

AH! Just picked up the new Gold Vanilla Gorilla! We use the Hot Dots up here... I think the APG4 might be the better option. Thoughts?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Both will perform great with those. It’s going to be a personal preference thing

[@kurticebanks8087]

I've heard people say that it's not necessarily the performance at equal psi between a 220 and 240 that makes a difference in performance but that the 220s can make it to that lower psi before breaking

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Yeah many 220s got insanely low. I never had an APG fail before breaking but I’ve seen some FireFlex 220s reach 150 and not break

[@SluggerStark]

​@@AverageDudesSlowpitchTotally! I like Easton and was swinging the 220 Fireflex bats prior to picking up a 220 Geny. I was getting frustrated because the 220 FF's failed so quick! A 220 Geny, safely passing could do what a failing Fireflex could do. AND hit the 52's better (Canuck). That said, I still have a couple 220 FF's. I have a 12inch Helmer, OG FF that is testing like, 170 right. Thing is literally a senior bat. Lol

[@Unknown-tn2ip]

Similar to the black widow? Its the same tech right?? Awesome videos ADS 🤙

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Same tech just with the Matte paint and a .75 EL

[@TheRayA247]

I bought the 2023 Griffey last year with the same end load but mine is a 2-piece. Is there that much of a difference to warrant me purchasing the 1-piece Purcell in your opinion?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

I think the new Powertech is a big improvement and for me I even prefer it to the Brady at this point which was my go to since it's drop.

[@dallinshumway3577]

This or the new AXE?

[@evanwalker2507]

How did it compare to the recently released "Black Widow" balanced genesis that released a few weeks ago?

[@evanwalker2507]

Or where would the APG4 rank if you had it in your last one piece comparison video?

[@dswan3199]

What is the difference from the APG4 and the Vice 1 peice from last year? Which is better in your opinion

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

APG is .75 EL to the .5 of the Vice. Vice is Powerxcoil and the APG is PowerTech. I think the APG is a big improvement over the Vice

[@dswan3199]

@@AverageDudesSlowpitch if I have a NIW vice 1 piece, would it be worth getting still? Or just break out and game the vice. (I’ve been using a 1 piece 220 black silver and gold genny the last 2 years in a usssa rec league)

[@noelaldrete4419]

How would you compare this new apg4 to the new 1 piece Griffey?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Much better all around feel on the APG4 and the new Powertech is a great upgrade

[@mehrtashsamadzadeh8317]

Is it hotter than the Bubble Gum one piece ? Or same thing with different weightings?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Much hotter. In my opinion this is the best bat LS has put out

[@harder715]

I watch all of your videos and either I've missed it or you just started, but I noticed you are hitting the same side of the bat the whole time. I remember a video many years ago with Brett Helmer saying he only ever hit one side of the bat which made sense to me since he gets free bats and wants the best performance all of the time. Do you do it to get the most performance out of the hits you take for review purposes or is it a superstition thing that you do for every bat you swing even in games?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

To be honest I don’t pay attention to it. I’ll have to go back and see if that’s something I’ve consistently done. Thanks for pointing it out

[@rosshuebner3415]

Noticed you swung 26oz in 240 and 27oz in 220. Swing weights the same?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

They both swung pretty true. That was just due to what we were able to get for the review

[@kentgarrett2887]

Love your videos. But it’s not a true apples to apples exit speed comparison with two bats that are different weights.

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

I agree. I’m willing to bet the 240 would have beat it by even more in a 27oz. For me, I can still maximize my swing speed with 27/28 and have had my fastest speeds with 27/28. I’ll have a 27oz gamer showing up soon and will do a follow up velo with that. 114 PR here I come 😂

[@michaelg_23]

What’s the hottest bat? APG4 or the 1pc resmondo

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

I’d pick the APG for sure. Based on the velo numbers it killed it

[@AlexKus]

Damn it, i guess it's time to replace my LS Maple.

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

I don’t think you’ll regret it. 🤙🏽

[@house00]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 1 pc Vice also powertech composite?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

PowerXCoil.

[@v8dreaming]

They call their one piece bats powertech, and two pieces powerxcoil.

[@joshhernandez5993]

Is hotter than the red and white apg two piece?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

Yes sir. We believe so. And not particularly close

[@skeebum]

What's your PR for velo?

[@AverageDudesSlowpitch]

I believe 113 with this years Axe 13” Endload.
