Also is the Moab speed bbcor any good ?

[@northtarrantheatandair1031]

Please review the Easton hype comp. I got it for my son and seems pretty legit for a composite

[@longreliever754]

Can you guys do a vid on the 2023 Louisville slugger meta

[@williammcneillcole4003]

I really would love an end-of-the-year bat room tour to see what you have with you. Or a house tour.

[@brianbanks3044]

i am 40+ yrs playing baseball and I still love to watch baseball bat bros videos...the kids nowadays have no IDEA the options they have today...we had wooden bats and aluminum for our choices...whatever the length was, the weight was...no drops, no choices, plenty of rung up hands back then....great job as always Will!!!

[@DAatDA]

Thanks for doing this man, not all of us can drop $400 on a bat

[@SigmaAlphaBruh]

Exactly

[@boscoszeto9362]

Your videos are the reason i bought the F5 as my first even bat. Thanks for the hard work

[@ThatGuyProdz]

That Mic and camera are really nice

[@squeaky_official]

that’s the goal of this vid wdym 💀

[@baseballbatbros]

thank you bro!

[@ThatGuyProdz]

@@baseballbatbros has the Atlas had any durability issues yet? Cause I want it for Christmas but I want it to last

[@davidvasquez7830]

@@ThatGuyProdz Louisvilles don’t really have durability problems. The atlas should be pretty durable.

[@ThatGuyProdz]

@@davidvasquez7830 good!

[@hildenbrandt21]

It's actually so dope to see where you keep all these bats you have, gotta be easily over 200+ now, good to see they aren't just thrown in a corner somewhere!

[@RMATRO22]

I just got my son the Combat B2 Ultra USSSA 31" - 8 and he absolutely loves the bat. Bat was hot right out of the wrapper and for $150 it's tough to beat. We had to purchase a 1pc bat for the tournaments we're going to play and this came highly recommended. Great video as always, keep up the great work and look forward to you next video.

[@chriswise1232]

My oldest has preferred combats from -10 up to -3. They're a bit of a niche product nowadays, but before Easton's acquisition, they were quite common.

[@GingerG546]

This is a nice video it looks amazing. But I was planning on using the f5 for getting used to bbcor. Then maybe get the cat x one piece I’m a marruci fan.

[@chasekeller3742]

Huge thanks👍great video and happy to see more info on the combats!

[@robertflint4115]

The kids my son coaches are younger and parents understandable do not want to spend a lot of $$ on a bat for 1 , maybe 2 years. So great information Will and love the bat room background. Rock on man. 🤘😎

[@55codybrody]

My oldest son blasted dingers (325'+) for 2 seasons with the B2 BBCOR until it went dead. He asked for another one for his senior year so Santa may come through with another one, especially for $200 out the door 😎 the 2020 B2 -5 USSSA is also slept on! I have one I'd like to see them review as long as they sent it back 👍

[@michaelfegins6425]

Love your content. Been watching for a while and I would love a review on the b2 ultra. My college teammates loves the maxum so I would love a cheaper alternative.

[@J_Miller]

Great vid! Stache game strong! Love this type of info being a budget focused baseball dad!

[@landondavis7807]

Hey will!!! I love your content you are the person that gives me motivation please posting your content!!!! When are you going to do a review on the Zia glitch?

[@craigrock2828]

Just picked up the 32in -5 victus nox usssa for my son looking forward to trying it out tomorrow he currently swings the Blue MOAB which he loves

[@baseballbatbros]

yessir!!

[@BlueshirtFan4Ever]

I'm getting out of retirement and getting myself some workouts in to play in a local men's rec baseball league, that ONLY uses BBCOR metal bats. Composite bats are allowed too. Hell, I'm 35yrs old and just itching to get back into the game that I haven't played since my high school days (2003 - 06). I currently have the Easton S3 BBCOR (33/30) and I'm about to get the new '24 The Goods 2-piece, and maybe the 2023 Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid.

[@j_welsh2039]

Other great budget bat is Stinger Guardian at $209 rn on their website. (Sorry Will I wont shut up about the guardian till you guys give it more love haha)

[@jackzeee9688]

I had the B2 combat. Very good bat. But Easton asked for me to return it in for an Eason bat

[@ballgloveking]

Yo the audio + video is clean 🧼

[@kevintrueblood396]

Have you guys ever swing the 2019 Cat Composite? If you have is it any good? It’s also really cheap right now. Was thinking about getting it for my 10u player.

[@huddyunderyeet853]

Thanks Will, I just bought a Easton Hype off of Smash it Sports in a 30inch drop 5 and got it rolled for 150

[@Harharhar77]

I’m 13 and this is my first year in baseball and I always looked at your channel to see what would be the best bat for my budget and performance and I pulled the trigger on the adv hype for 99$ and I can say, I love that bat I got the -5 and I do say it’s heavy and takes some getting used to but I love it and it is amazing. Thank you bat bros.

[@mylesno9925]

This video is very informational aseptically for someone like me wow needs to Make the switch from usssa to bbcore before high school ⚾️

Any word on the Goods usssa -10? Just seen it online today for the first time and not sure if I should buy it or wait for something better when season starts in April. Thanks. You guys are very helpful!

[@baseballbatbros]

I'd recommend the Marucci's if you're gonna go with alloy. That -10 Goods looks sick though

[@Patrick_-ww1rv]

Currently saving up for the atlas. Can wait till I get it

[@brandonyoung7576]

The Baseball Bat Bros I've got a quick question. Trying to figure out exactly what two of the bats y'all have hung up behind you that I'm really not that sure what are, actually don't believe I've ever seen them I don't think lol. But the two bats in question are FIRST ONE: going from viewers perspective starting from the new orange Atlas it's the "black/gold colors" bat that I believe is a Rawlings that's the 3rd bat after the atlas!!!! SECOND ONE: going from the viewers perspective again and also starting from the atlas as well it's the "black/light blue colors" that I believe is an Easton and it's 5th bat after the orange Atlas that's on end before start of wood bats just like counting from same exact orange Atlas that's next to start of wood bats as first bat in question!!!!! Sorry for sorta longer message but anyway y'all can let me know what them two bats are, regardless if they are older bats that aren't produced anymore or if they are brand new either way I still want to know please guys if y'all don't mind. I really appreciate it and y'all keep up making banging ass videos y'all are most definitely one of the top 3 favorite channels that Im subscribed to on here and literally can't wait for a new video to be released every single time I watch the current new video at that moment. Y'all keep it up guys!!!!!

[@joehernandez4919]

Man what bat is that next to the new Green Meta between the Catx? It looks sick

[@bradensprouse4074]

Can you please do a review on the new stinger missile 3? I had the missile 2 and then it got banned and I want to know if the new one is worth buying.

[@lemonsaregood1210]

I need to chose my bay soon but I’m stuck between the cat X and the atlas

[@christian.demasi]

I have been wanting a combat for so long I hope I get it for Christmas I used to use the combat virus way back in 14 15 U

[@toranfuglseth7049]

[@alt2484]

USSSA Cat 9 Connect is $200 rn so its a damn good option too.

[@mickluther2693]

Is the green/neon 2016 5150 bbcor as good as the new one?

[@sever427]

What bat legnth do you use?

[@thomasholl549]

Is that the 2023 select pwr USA or BBCOR in the back round?

[@rilandluvssports]

2023 rawlings 5150 review next?

Will it would be dope if you could do a review of the Rawlings Icon! USSSA or BBCOR idc.

[@liamedmonds4726]

I'm a 13 year old trying to find a wood bat from american bat smith with a little endload. What bat would you prefer?

[@jacobturner8481]

Will in half speed is goated, also anyone else see some teasers in the background?

[@clapzthegoat7511]

I’m from Canada and I bought my adv hype in April the bat Sounded good out of the wrapper but now slowly gets worse and worse should I get a new one ? I’m 13 and swing drop 5

[@draKe-pl4vf]

I need a sub 200 -5 but don't know what to get. I live in wiscomsin so I need something that won't ring you up. I also would like something balanced because I'm only in 14u

[@09nvn]

The hype is a tank. But like you said, takes forever to break it in. We have a 30-8 and I don’t think we were close to breaking it in before we decided to go back to the previous model.

[@baseballbatbros]

Takes a TON of patience, but it becomes absolutely fire. And it’s not gonna break on you

[@jxcobbyy]

Can we get a B22 Hot metal BBCOR review? Is it just a repaint to the Black Widow or completely different bat?

[@brendanoneil4310]

Any word on whether the new Omaha’s barrel is still tight or did they rework it like the atlas?

[@Gova_34]

Hello all, when you must take one from cat6 , combat and hype. Which one is the best from these 3 ?

[@jaydenlane2909]

you should really make a video of the demarini -5 cf mash against the zoa

[@deegan7950]

Could you please try the gamer wood bat for the cheap wood bat would like your review.

[@juliemcconnell7595]

Try the Easton two peace composite adv 360 29 inch

[@Nellie-80]

love seeing will in a royals hat lets go

[@ryanthomas8955]

Can you do USA budget bats next? Thank you

[@BIgDaDdy-893]

[@TDReviewss]

Can you test out the Easton Black Magic next

[@aizelrodriguez4884]

You should try the Louisville slugger prime919

[@bremms1]

The new 2023 5150 is $200.. improved as well.

[@longreliever754]

Can you guys do a vid on the 2023 Louisville slugger meta

[@kidneyzilla11]

I see the new meta is the back ground when you swinging that

[@mikeh.9954]

The F5 USSSA bat is a crazy value ...

[@brysonhitshacks]

what bat do you recommend if you like composite bats l

[@baseballbatbros]

We’ve got composite recommendations for both BBCOR and USSSA in this vid. Combat B2 ATB for BBCOR and ADV Hype for USSSA

[@parkergill1813]

Do updated ussa -5 comp

[@Fishy_RL56]

Will I have a Combat Wanted bat but unfortunately, it's illegal now :(

[@alexzeggert]

what do you guys think about the 2023 omaha?

[@GeorgeMitchellLWB]

The Maxum was originally a Combat bat was it not?? IIRC Easton kept the Combat technology when they bought out Combat

[@crazylittleirishman]

My kid has the B2 Ultra -8, it's an intriguing story. It is a just bats exclusive, they say they own the intellectual property from the original Candian Combat Maxum circa 2018, from the Canadian company's bankruptcy before being absorbed by Easton. Easton started using the name and squashed just bats' claim to IP, but Easton lost that claim after being absorbed into Rawlings. So what you're swinging is (allegedly) a direct remake of the 2018 Canadian Combat Maxum, with a new paint job. Not an Easton product.

[@baseballbatbros]

it's all still Easton from my understanding. A direct repaint of the Maxum Ultra

[@KC___]

It is an Easton product. I've asked both Easton and justbats. They confirmed. My son has a -10. If you compare it to the Maxum Ultra, they are identical down to the end caps and paint scheme with the ring above the handle, etc. If you look the B2 actually has Easton's name/hologram on it and patent #. A rep did say they can't guarantee it is the same grade of composite material, but I highly doubt they made a separate run of bats that are any different from the Ultras. Maybe, but all I know is my kid absolutely smokes the ball. He is a fan of one piece alloy and I wanted him to try a one piece composite for comparison. There aren't actually a ton of choices outside of the Maxum Ultra, B2 Ultra and DSBs. For less than $150, this bat blows them away. At least the DSB, you saved a couple hundred from the same Easton.

[@user-iu8rd3im1d]

I have a combat but it was a little bit for me so I went to the other one I have but I like the bat

[@Asherbaseball217]

Victus nox price dropped to 119 and it is hooooot

[@baseballbatbros]

FACTS the usssa Nox dropped in price right after we filmed this.

[@bigboijeff6875]

Can y’all please review dirty south u trips like I have one that illegal

[@ndmill.5748]

Can’t wait for the bat award show this year

[@joenielcorretjer821]

What’s better than the 2 Piece Goods the CatX or Voodoo?

[@TL2005]

They are all equally great bats in their own way but honestly it depends on preference. The goods has a bigger barrel and sweet spot than the other 2 but it's definitely the heaviest. The catX is lighter swinging but has a little bit less pop than the goods and voodoo. CATx probably has the best feel of the 3. Voodoo has as much pop as the goods and any bat out there, is the lightest swinging but has a smaller sweet spot. CatX is probably the best all around bat. But I prefer the voodoo in live game speed because of the lighter swing weight and pop. Missle 3 is also pretty similar and only 270 bucks.

[@jucko4366]

Dayum ok, new camera and mic setup?

[@aidanoconnor4498]

You guys should swing some Walter bat wood bats they’re awesome!!!!!

[@stanlivingston177]

What the lightest swing feel baseball usssa bat for a super small 11 year old? Need something really balanced I think -10.

[@baseballbatbros]

I wouldn’t worry too much about a specific bat’s given swing weight and just go down an inch in length if bat speed is a big concern.

[@sullypetz5551]

I have that Combat b2 ultra, now do a review!!!!

[@sullypetz5551]

Sorry, premature comment 😂

[@calebhopkins4589]

Great hat

[@noel4ya]

You can get a Stinger missile 3 for $220 right now. If it’s anything like the missile 2 then it’s better than all of these

[@uhhbrys0nnnnn]

you should swing the bbcor Missile 3

[@mrbug4803]

Dude, the USSSA Victus Nox is discounted most places to $150. That is that is the USSSA budget champ!

[@baseballbatbros]

Composite > alloy in USSSA! If I see any comp under $200, I’d be all over it

[@jayonkbm6047]

Y’all know if the Rawlings mach 2 is good I just got it
