It is always a good day if it is a Baseball Bat Bros upload day.

[@TippfehlerEN]

I would love to see a Bat Bros March Madness bat tourney. Have like every BBCOR in the tourney, that would be a dope video

[@SluggerMcBatFace]

Full circle! That would be incredible!

[@BigBennyD]

Give us dudes in our 30’s a BESR Bat Madness! We need it. 👌

[@Youngcarenthusiast]

WHAT UP WHAT UP

[@KlkconKlk]

WILL HERE WITH THE BASEBALL BAT BROS

[@Nebraskabaseballstar]

AND TODAY FOLKS, WE HAVE WHAT SOME WOULD CALL A LEGENDARY BASEBALL BAT

[@Nebraskabaseballstar]

THE DEMARINI CF3 I BELIEVE THIS IS ABOUT A 2009, 2010 BESR DROP 3

[@ChiefsProdz69]

SO THAT WAS THE CERTIFICATION AFTER THE GORILLA ERA

[@Nebraskabaseballstar]

BUT BEFORE BBCOR SO PRETTY DANG JUICED AND WERE GONNA SEE HOW THIS COMPARES TO A MODERN DAY 2 PIECE COMPOSITE BBCOR

[@Adam12R]

Favorite bat in high school. Gamed a teammate’s 33/30 white CF3 black junior year. Just a personal preference but I actually liked it more than the EXOs some other guys had.

[@iamsadandlame]

Always used my Legion teammate's cf3 and it's far and away the best bat I ever used. It worked out perfectly because he preferred my Nike Aerofuse.

[@d.posey1010]

Swung the CF3 my senior year of highschool 2009! Bat is GAS!

[@MOLINE7708]

I'd love to see the Combat B2 Da Bomb. The CF3 and the Combat were used in the same era. Combat was sooo hot imo. I used both back in the day.

[@edwardpullar2741]

i still have my b2 i got when i was kid and im 25 now

[@JretnuH]

Same for both. Bat was ridiculous

[@brav0shifter]

A kid I played with in little league had a B2 that was so hot it influenced me to get the Combat Virus my following year in juniors 😂

[@JretnuH]

@@brav0shifter that b2 was stupid hot. Especially once it got a small crack in it. The virus was underrated too

[@TheLastPrime38]

Potentially my favorite bat ever. I never felt more comfortable swinging a bat back then.

[@haakonbecker990]

The Cf3 Black looks too clean 😮‍💨

[@xtrasauce1799]

There's too many new bats out there for you guys to be taking long breaks 😂 we miss you guys!!

[@FilmColossus]

Yellow ball was weird because our eyes go from all the green of the grass to trying to pick up on the yellow. White still seems easier. Maybe orange would be better? Or red?

[@Apalm12]

Thank god you read my comment! Hottest bat ever! Regardless of the exit speed I played one year of college with besr bats and the cf3 balls went further than any other bat it and the orange stealth were close

[@gabebowne5086]

You should do a video of the most juiced bat ever like the green zen hype fire, the 2016 drop 5 ghost and some other extremely juiced bats

[@stokers2322]

Thank you so much for seeing my comment and making the vid Will, you are the BP GOD!!! If I had one wish it would be to have a BP session boys and bring my bat collection so we could just compare and demo them out all day. Keep up the bomb videos brother and if you are interested I’d love to send you a bat to review… it would be a dream come true 😢😊

[@CH4madness]

Quite satisfied to hear you still have the Exo as the BESR goat. I used that my last year of Legion baseball and my god did I destroy some baseballs with it. It felt like hitting baseballs with a trampoline, they just flew.

[@traviscannoles6361]

I had the red cf3 back in 2008 and was an absolute rocket launcher of a bat! Ended up getting one off eBay a few years ago lol

[@Cazo_sauce]

That bat is juiced

[@cubman777]

Love how excited Will gets still 😂 cool find for sure

[@FlintAngelovic]

That ball is hammered.

[@metallicasnake]

As always, I'm impressed by your bat knowledge and making comparisons after a few swings. Great stuff.

[@egm07sh]

CONGRATES ON 500K WE HALF WE THERE BABYYYYY

[@Truckerdaddy]

Hey Will yall should look into the Miken BESR lineup of bats. Freak, Burn, and Heat. They are 1pc composite bats from the mid to late 2000s. I own a Miken Heat 33/30 and I think it can hang with the Stealth Comp pretty easily. I regularly touch 300+ feet with my wife doing underhand short toss with 12U baseballs. I know that doesn't seem like much of a feat but it's not as easy as you think.

[@olliesupreme8425]

I loved growing up swinging BESR bats. Granted I never played the hot corner so I'm biased.

[@ubf_c10]

Reality is that we’ll watch it wherever you put it. I’ll say I like what Derek (VGG) is doing with Vice Grip Lodge vs Vice Grip Garage. I know where to go when I need some specific domain info or am in the mood for specific content. Either way, congratulations on life from an old man living vicariously through your crew. We’re also planning/starting our dream house build so it will be interesting to see what you decide on across the board.

[@kairopocket]

I haven’t seen Will test the Stealth Speed BESR (Black & Blue). It’s truly the best and most overlooked bat in the stealth composite family. Always preferred it over over the blue and orange stealth composite

[@TheJoyrunners]

Really??? I absolutely hated the Stealth speed haha, my parents hated me for not using it after they spend $400 for it

[@algorhythminc]

Can we see a comparison with the same bat but in 3 certifications? Like the Rawlings Icon in BBCOR, USSSA and USA?

[@brandonk.9633]

I prefer the Red CF3 👌🏻 I still use it for adult Sunday league along with the White TPX Exo grid 🙌🏻

[@ryanpoitras6285]

Used to hit bombs with the Red CF3 all day, easily my favorite bat of all time.

[@frxiyuh]

as someone who swings a voodoo its quite interesting watching people swing other demarini bats

[@Readesu]

0:54 This is why independent reviews are so important.

[@mustangbaseball33]

Use blue stealth imx I feel like it was the hottest stealth bat

[@HoldingTudix]

the perfect cutout scream doesn't exi- 2:38

[@RyderHurdt]

In your opinion what is the best drop 5 bat??

[@grantorino7644]

I witnessed Matt Williams take bp at UNLV with a Black magic.Im still amazed nobody died!

[@edgardoliva6686]

Blue Easton stealth is too goat imo XD

[@JayOrtegaTheBaller8]

Yo are the Franklin’s infinite series good? I loved the powerstraps

[@craigmaxey4334]

That CF3 sounded real good Will. Still checking in; wishing you great success in 2024 bro!

[@andrewpodolak555]

Pretty new to this channel- The Nike aero torque - black and orange-besr was hot… Rawlings original Liquid Metal big stick (blue) And the Rawlings Liquid Metal Plasma (grey green) Have those been test. I think they could give the exo grid a run on exit velocity. I have the plasma I can send you. Along with some other besr’s

[@f3ar_wrld]

First vid of 2024 and it's banger!

[@BlakeA1190]

cf4, vexxum, stealth, exo, cat5, tpx omaha, voodoo, love growing up in that era

[@jimmydavis8954]

Can you find an old Miken Burn BESR bat and see what exit velo you get. We had one at the same time as the exo grid and it was easily hotter!!

[@melissalach7931]

Congrats for 500k you guys have the best baseball content On youtube

[@M_Wurst]

Whatup Will

[@mikeh.9954]

You should add a live infographic showing the weather temps. Looks chilly!

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

I'm convinced that the Zoa is almost identical to the CF5 BBCOR from like, 2011-2012 You should also try out some other BESR bats - the Triton, the Exo, the Omen - there's some really cool old bats from back when they were going wild with experimenting.

[@TheWoody0007]

loved the cf3 growing up, used a drop 8 when i was 11, sounded insane

[@justinwilson1359]

Please see if you can find a Combat B2 Da Bomb anywhere. It’s a little league bat but that thing hit rockets 12 years ago.

[@peterpumpkineater2642]

Try the black and orange vexxum. Guy won the college homerun derby with it 2 years ago!

[@caltanigawa4903]

FINALLY A BASEBALL BAT BROS VIDEO

[@JTM1987]

That CF3 sounds sick, but I have to go with the Omaha Gold only because that was my bat when I played Varsity baseball in 2002-2003

[@christianmadrid4210]

That shot was nasty! I remember the gold cf3

[@conalltierney8433]

I’ve been waiting for this vid since y’all started the channel!!

[@richardkelly897]

When it hits the wall check the distance! It should give you more confidence in the long ones.

[@dawsonschuller4629]

Could y’all swing the 2008 Rawlings plasma gold bat? My brother swung it in high school and I can’t find anything on youtube about it. Thanks.

[@haroldbirckhead9997]

My oldest son had one of these, he could put a charge in a ball with it!!

[@ralphsteinburger9294]

Have you thought about reviewing the new soldier tank BBCOR?

[@baseballbatbros]

Absolutely

[@jswigga81]

Congrats on 500k Will🎉🎉!!

[@perrytilton5221]

CF3 was my first bat in HS. My dad bought it for $180 in 2009. What really sucked is that I couldn't use it my softmore year because it was deemed too juiced. My opinion is that bat companies should be force buy back bats that are deemed illegal under the same standards. Dropping a quarter of a pay check on a bat for it to not be legal is garbage regardless if it's 3 years old or 3 days old.

[@pyrel]

Stinger Nuke** 3 review when? I've got one and it's got some bang to it. Big ol heavy bopper

[@timcampbell1799]

I would love to see you do a BESR 2 piece hybrid review on that Red & Silver SV12 against the White Exo and the Burgundy Voodoo

[@smacky911]

Swing looks better, staying on plane and not dropping your hands. Been working on it?

[@baseballbatbros]

Trying lol. Still a long way to go

[@aiden2474]

I got a question will you ever do the 2024 voodoo 2 Piece review? I cannot find a single video of it being swung on the internet and it’s only on demarini website nowhere else. Just wondering

[@baseballbatbros]

Yep gonna get on that one soon

[@CarsonDent-lm2hb]

I have an Easton SV12, my cousin used in middle school

[@BJAdec91]

Try the Blue Stealth IMX Comp. Used it back in 2010. Bat was 🔥

[@8LaceUp8]

I don’t know if you have swung an Easton Z2k or not. If you have shoot me a link, if not that would be great if you could get your hands on one.

[@dennnster41]

Should see if you guys can get your hands on a -5 cf3 and see how it does 🤔

[@1einst]

sick man, still have the cf4 i used back in the day. sucked because i wasn't aware of baseball news at the time so the next year they went to bbcor and i couldn't get another bat lmao

[@FilmColossus]

Is your stance a little different?

[@baseballbatbros]

workin on it lol

[@FilmColossus]

@@baseballbatbros I noticed! Looks a little more purposeful in the stance and load. Makes sense given your channel that you would keep working on the swing!

[@Jasper-Flechtner]

Love the upward angle camera, really appreciates some of the nukes

[@seangabb8267]

We used yellow balls in winter in Australia 20 years ago

[@jkneer1560]

He's back!!!!

[@chepalachingada9633]

My friends and I have to disagree with you on this one. The CF3 is WAY better than the EXO. I owned both the White EXO & the Black CF3 and we all preferred the CF3 and I’m a Louisville Slugger guy. The other teams thought my CF3 was shaved because we would hit 3-5 homers per game. Damn, you brought back so many memories with the CF3!

[@molliekilburg]

When is the review of the Easton Rope BBCOR coming?

[@Jesuslover8a-j]

Love the video! Please review the best bbcor bats under $300

[@paulmartinez3282]

Gotta find the OG CF3 (red). Black was for sure touched down a bit.

[@kzarnold3678]

Good time's nicely done 👍

[@Thataccount123]

I have the u-trip Zoa and I love it.

[@Mrkonk1]

congrats on 500k 🎉🎉

[@michaelcarter2797]

Will you be reviewing the new Easton BBCOR lineup before the HS spring season? Thanks for all the videos!

[@baseballbatbros]

Yessir

[@michaelcarter2797]

Yes!!!

[@Mystic-l3r]

Happy New Year baseballbat broz

[@michelleowen4294]

CF3🔛🔝

[@ahsa0521]

BESR bat madness would be insane!

[@yrnjalen3738]

Could you guys review the drop 5 Easton omen

[@yytt5142]

Vince Genna Stadium. Be nice to the Grocery Outlet building over Left Field.

[@NinjaSquirrel30]

DeMarini Vexxum VNB8 -3 Was a legit machine of a bat ⚾

[@bthomas269]

I always felt the usssa blue vexxum was underrated. Is BBCOR similar?

[@mysteriousperson1354]

Best Channel Out There!!!!!

[@311hitwall]

What do the college players use if most of those bats are not durable enough except for 12 year old??

[@joesmoe4778]

blue combat b2 next? don't even know if they made it in drop 3

[@rmast7894]

Hey will, really big fan and love what you do. Your channel is the reason I have the bat I do. Keep it up

[@Thunderbolt2396]

500K SUBS CONGRATS

[@ItsXoticVFX]

i am trying to find a bat that's cheap and does not ring up the hands much and has a good sweet spot and power, and is a cheap price around 150-200 i am 14 years old and about to play my first high school ball. does anyone have good bat that has these traits. i am thinking about getting the stringking metal 2 but tell me any other options

[@jchristopher2031]

When will BBCor bat makers start adding a hockey puck to the metal bats?

[@qwuzzy]

I've never understood durability for this. Why is that bat durable for surviving like 10 hits?

[@mixedmartialanarchist6469]

This dude has mad power

[@tyshaunsimpson5152]

Been waiting for the cf5 and mako beast

[@lukeabston9682]

WHERE HAVE YALL BEEN!!!

[@j_badach_xvi6261]

I always used the CF4

[@Sub2Mason]

Congrats on 500k

[@kb909]

The cf3 and gold cf4 were my shit in little league lmao. Those two and that teal b2 were absolute NUKE hitters.

[@salembarzak6251]

yessirrr new upload
