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.

[@anthonyjones8966]

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

[@ScottKennedy]

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.

[@BGBlitzball]

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

[@dadbod4life]

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.

[@aiden2474]

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.

[@Touchmahtoaster]

Bought the Combat B2 ATB a couple weeks before this and and it really is a great feeling bat

[@thesouldone82]

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!

[@isaacgonzalez6922]

BRO I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A BAT UNDER $150 RN LIKE 2 SECONDS AGO

[@docbledsoe]

The old Vandal is 99.99 on victus site and black magic is 79 on hq4sports

[@ScottKennedy]

We have 2 Combats, and every time I think about going up a size, I want to get another one.

[@tesoroofall8499]

You're better off saving up and getting the warstic bonesaber HYBRID it's $380

[@hectorsv92]

@@tesoroofall8499it’s on sale right now, might be last years model. I agree though!

My nephew, who just turned 12 uses a Stringking USA 32” -11 and USSSA 32” -5 hit 2 grand slams with each !

[@Ye12232]

@@19cohiba75 amazing of your newphew he can probably hit better than me! I wish I could see the Grand slam!

[@mightymouse2893]

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.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

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.

[@jibjibmonkeyman99]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for them to make!

[@Jackslife23129]

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

[@db1872]

String king had farthest distance and highest exit velo. Needed more love

[@Seib0913]

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.

[@Coolf1sh]

Very true I have a true temper shaft and it is pretty good

[@fartexplosion4480]

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

[@colepark3r]

That velo was my go-to in juco. Loved that thing

[@Defenbach]

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.

[@55codybrody]

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

[@richardkelly897]

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.

[@USAbaseball99]

My go to for baseball bat recimendations

[@drivinmiatas5068]

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

[@AndreaGuidetti-d3o]

Your videos are so good I am a huge fan keep up the good work

[@DEValentine]

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.

[@stevenclark755]

Ultrawide with the crop in. Chefs kiss 👌🏼

[@Pate_Farms]

What is the best drop 3 baseball bat?

[@deaversmith2593]

Look for the easton maxum 360 used for well under $100 and already broken in.

[@baseballbatbros]

Factual

[@AcousticBros69]

I use the easton quantum. Makes sense why i either hit it 2 inches or 500 miles.

[@NateB.ChillinG]

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.

[@KinchenPier-tc3hi]

Nice vid happy thanksgiving

[@matthewanderson6035]

Can you guys try and swing thw old marucci black and marucci black 2????!!!!

[@AngelMedina31986]

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

[@DylanMaud]

He found rain fascinating yet unpleasant.

[@LocoPedro9614]

One of these days you gotta get permission to get up on the grocery store and get all your balls back.🤣

[@tonyaleiser7679]

Thats a grocery store?!🤣 i thought it was a campus the whole time lmaooo🤣😭🤣🤣

[@XxChookaxX]

This channel needs an Australian spinoff, the cricket bat bros. Love the content guys.

[@dreadknight_73]

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.

[@CodyRobinson-i3q]

You need to test the Anderson bbcor bat. Interested to see how it would swing. It’s priced at $250

[@Chimeraiam]

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

[@TeaganEdits]

Day 5 of asking you guys to do a review on the Mav 1 Easton

[@jayteefishing1543]

Just bought my son a couple Marucci bats. Bought that F5 on sale for 79.99 believe it or not.

[@Wesbowman5]

What is Easton brought back the reflex for one year that would be insane

[@juventudramirez]

If you can find the Easton ALX, buy it! I swung it and its great! Easton has alot of bats out that they're trying to sell, so why not sell this one super cheap right? Marketing..

[@Andrewtate293]

Can t believe they are making another quantum that bat was my All time favorite

[@dylanjones7771]

I always loved the sound of a marucci.

[@lukefisher2113]

those Fabletics joggers are legit some of the best pants I have ever owned.

I was able to pick up a new Maxum ultra for $80 and a new Warstic gunner for $150

[@Lilmario24]

My most fav video just bombs and fav KZbinr I been watching you since 2020

[@brianbanks3044]

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

[@pk1237]

I think the price difference is in the thousands...

[@GamingSinz]

this is making me miss playing ball... i graduated 6 years ago and man...

[@bkdrxppy_rl]

The combat b2 sounds so good🤤

[@baileysmith4744]

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

[@Red_Sox2023]

Hey boys what are some good BP balls? I can’t find ones worth buying.

[@iceberg_4o487]

The 2022 gunner is down to $100, how do you think it will match up in this group

[@randywhite1461]

Try a BESR Demarini vexxum DX-1 alloy long barrel…… silver barrel with a yellow handle

[@jonathonhymel1802]

The True bats are an absolute steal right now considering you can get them under $60 online. It's really splitting hairs between all of these bats.

[@juventudramirez]

has anyone ever insisted you use something like Diamond Kinetics, or Blast Motion so that you can get averages on your swing speed to compare between each bat? :D

[@dilloncaywood811]

ORU raked with the B5 this year.

[@michaelcarter2797]

What about the Axe Strato that just went down to $99 for a contact hitter?

[@ConnorMonroe-r3t]

I want the quantum for my jr acme season

Prediction: Stringking, will check back at end of video

[@BLAKEISHart]

IF you need help getting the color from each camera to match let me know.

[@HenryGottschalk]

[@CMM80]

I feel like this is top golf stuff without playing golf

[@CMM80]

Bring it. Very satisfying but let me swing

[@haltz]

Combat especially and hazardous almost sound like wood, at least on the video. Great sound. Maruccis sound so pingy. Kinda gross. That said I bought a cat8 on amazon for like $130 and looking forward to messing around with it, excited about the half size 33.5 I found. Used to go back and forth between 33 and 34 when I actually played, would size down against velo sometimes.

[@ike8533]

I had to get two combats and both of them the endcap broke off

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?

[@colossal_bully]

CatX

[@cmagtpose2792]

Of course you pick the True Hzrdus, they literally paid you to do a commercial for that exact bat you picked...I knew you were picking that bat when you said it was one of them, it's pretty easy see for you to push them.

[@baseballbatbros]

Easy one to debunk lol. True Temper does not even exist in baseball anymore. They now operate as “44Pro” bats - go check that review 😁 We went to True’s demo day in Memphis for zero compensation - purely in exchange for getting to hit with Blaze Jordan lol

[@RJ.08]

Check out the new stinger bats

Please bring back your slow pitch channels
