Hitting with the Marucci CATX COMPOSITE | USSSA -5 Baseball Bat Review

[@brianbecher5781]

I know it's a bat review channel, but Will and JT don't give themselves enough credit on the velos...BOTH of their swings and strength have increased a ton since the channel started. Kudos to you guys! 💪💪

[@platypusjonesy2757]

They incorporated Pete Alonso's warmup/meditation routine from the HR Derby this year. It's worked wonders.

[@randylackey8294]

And their BP pitching. I envy them every time I watch them throw BP. I wish I could throw like that to actually be able to help my son.

[@sergiov7414]

Somebody check their piss

@@randylackey8294 that’s so wholesome man I love that

[@CoachBaker_11]

Just went back and looked at the Cat 9 showdown from last year, the guys have grown in size

[@rynolindz]

Great vid guys.. Get about 150 hard hits on that Cat X and you'll hear and see the difference. We've got about 200 hits on ours and its hitting insane..

[@williesav2137]

Hey bat bros. I'm so happy to see y'all in Lafayette, Louisiana. I live in Louisiana too and it's just always cool to see y'all here and hitting tanks in the Rajun Cages. It would be soo cool to hit with y'all one day. Great video. Keep hitting like y'all do👍👍.

[@katemcd1386]

After low 90s exit velocity I didn’t expect 110🤣

[@EHMSL1226]

Crazy how much the sound changed on the CatX even after just like 20 swings. Sounded pingy at the start then much more like a CF Zen near the end.

[@Hunter-df7vt]

Bro it’s so cool to see y’all hitting there because I actually go to those cages and I love them.

[@Jt7166]

Seems like a few more swings and it will be right there with the Cat9.

[@NitrousOxide171]

"we may even break 110 today folks" *breaks 110 next swing* Good video guys.

[@scottl3794]

Broooo Ragin Cages is literally a 6 minute drive from my home and my 13 year old son loves y’all!

[@bremms1]

Will, you are spot on. Most 12 year olds will take a LONG time to break that bat in. I can't get Rohan to swing USSSA, he says they are too juiced. Most of his tournaments are BBCOR now so he's right, there isn't much point.

[@corbenstanley8479]

I want to see Eric sim swing a drop five lol, that would be so funny

[@CybrSlydr]

You mean you want to see Eric Sim annihilate a drop 5 and explode? lol

[@danschilling5863]

He swung it in the Portland trip and the longest HR video already.

[@chrisdavidson6519]

After another 100 or so swings I think the cat x might actually be hotter than the cat 9 considering the x isn't even really broken in that well yet. Right now I think they're even as exit velo goes, the x might have put up a higher velo but just few tenths of a mph doesn't mean it's hotter but just that you just managed to connect on the g spot better on the x than the 9 for one of the swings.

[@connorcheney9106]

This is more important than football practice

[@chrisdaniel2417]

The video we’ve all been waiting for!

[@kingpietro5380]

My son loves the marucci and meta thanks for the info

[@jitler0210]

the blue cat 9 is way different then the black one i had both they have a different feels less sweat spot and doesn’t feel as hot. but i love the cat X

[@andrewking1414]

Are they not just different paint jobs? Weird they would have changed get something?

[@baughmd68]

I thought it was just a new paint job. Which feels better to you - the blue or the black?

[@peytonwilliams6008]

Hey will will you please let us viewers know if the Stinger Missile II gets banned in high school. I just bought the bat and planned on using it in high school (I did get the 33”)

[@rrusso33]

Same. We haven’t returned ours yet (have until Halloween) and hope HS won’t ban it.

[@baseballbatbros]

Yep we posted it on Instagram/Facebook/KZbin the day it got banned

[@CommonSense823]

@@rrusso33 same. The return is kind of a hassle too. Their return form doesn’t work the way it should and doesn’t print like it needs to.

[@sethparrish9349]

these things are crazy! can we see an exit velo test on the cat x -3 1 piece next

[@booco]

the cat 9 2021 is my gamer and i am so close to hitting it over the fence

[@ninja_adw]

You can get the catx in a 33 though can’t you? Wouldn’t it have higher velos with the extra mass?

[@01FunnyBoi]

Doing a cat 9 composite to the cat x 1 peace would be crazy

[@NitrousOxide171]

By the way, if you take it outside I bet the reverb on the cat x would be godly.

[@gzipter5]

You should try all the Demarini CF’s like Cf7 Green Zen all of them

[@MJM_Productions]

When the cat x is fully broken in, I feel like it could potentially be better than the cat 9 composite

[@batbrosecretbackup]

Nice.

[@amberdeming9555]

Love all your reviews!! Thank you so much!

[@j4ckbaseball]

I play 12u and I have 300 swings on my cat d comp and it still doesn’t feel completely broken in. It’s ⛽️ but it’s not feeling great

[@Joeydj4u]

Can you do the BBCOR version of this soon?

[@Tevatron044]

I think 100% you need to break them in a little more. Barrel size in USSSA composite space actually does matter, but not for sweet spot. It's complicated but i think you need to break in the cat x a little more to get a better reading

[@dawsonatkins4315]

Hey Will you should probably make a video about the cat x composite fully broken in vs cat 9 composite

[@JyDn72]

Make a BBcore composite Cat X

[@tommyneubert3590]

I can do a vid with you guys cat x vs orange xl1 and I have an xl1

[@JayJay-rg3bs]

2025 my son still using both these bats tried several new ones but most of the time he's pulling out the cat 9

Will can we get a review of the usssa -5 cat x .. Looking for a cold weather bat that is similar to the meta.

[@justusbahr8002]

Hi bat bros, i have question which bat is better cat x composite, cat x one piece alloy?

[@cardenaswindowservice]

love this channel enjoy watching the videos every upload

[@cag9162]

Do an Axe avenge pro review pls

[@monroemando]

Hey man I have a question that I hope you can help me with. My son plays travel baseball (9u). He's really wanting the 28" -10 cat x composite, but his coach has been telling me since 6u that kids aren't strong enough to swing the bat hard enough to get the performance out of the composite bats. Therefore he only suggests aluminum bats. What are your thoughts? I trust your bat knowledge over his, or most anybody for that matter lol.

[@brianrice6993]

Why haven’t you finished the wood bat showdown?

[@v1ncen7.b]

Do another video cat x vs cat 9 when the cat x is fully broken in

Can you guys do more bbcor i need to find a bat for next year

[@CramerIsHere]

Dude you gotta get your hands on one of the Green OG Marucci Hex bats…6 years ago when I was in Cooperstown I remember a whole team was using that bat and I think they hit about 8 home runs with it that game😂 Never have I seen a 12 year old hit balls as far as they were

[@matthewplante1746]

Hoping to see a shootout between this and the new USSSA Avenge Pro

[@john212344]

When is the Bbcor composite getting reviewed

[@taner65th]

I like both bats, Its just i dont know if i would pay 399 for cat x comp, ive been trying to find a cat 9 comp for like months but it seems to never be in stock or on other websites, even if they are its not a size im looking for, but great review

[@jacobchip3238]

U should put the XL1 vs the drop 5 cat 9 composite

[@MyYTaccountName]

You’re getting much stronger and quicker with the hands. Do a redline video in another few months so you could top 120 or so.

[@MaineReef]

Looking for some help on identifying a louisville slugger 125 tpx t141 wooden bat covered in fiber and resin. No other markings beside a 3 stamped on butt of barrel. Any help would be awesome.

I know you won’t answer, but I really want to know. I’m 13u, and have swung a 31 -8. My brother had a 32 -5 Easton XL1, and I know it’s a great bat, but I think I should get a 31 -5 catx, what do you think?

What bat would you recommend for a 12 year old

my guy let me know if you need some food recommendations! i lived in Lafayette for 4.5 years

Yo they banned the 33 missile 2. So glad I got the 32 it still rakes

bat looks so nice 😍

[@zackcourtney5311]

We went from the Cat 9 composite to the Cat X composite and out of the wrapper we hate the Cat X.. the Cat 9 was hot out of wrapper but the Cat X seems dead and seems like the sweet spot is very small. Hopefully over time it will get better but very disappointed right now.

[@baseballbatbros]

yep it felt awful at first

[@zackcourtney5311]

@@baseballbatbros tried swinging again and still hate it.. do you think it’ll get better with time or do you think the cat 9 composite will always be better? I’m not talking about exit Velo, but talking about miss hits and overall solid hits

So I think the forgiveness on the 9 vs the c could be because of the knob

Have you considered running a t-test to determine whether certain bats are better than others?
