Hitting with the 2025 RAWLINGS ICON | USSSA Baseball Bat Review

[@robertflint4115]

Two years ago, I shared a Bat Bro video with my son. He coaches Little League and now as a team, they will watch Bro videos together. I feel happy that I was the one that introduced them to your videos. Unfortunately, my Wallet is not as happy. Two of my grandsons play on the team and now tend to always want the latest and greatest 💵. Who am I kidding, it’s worth every cent getting to see them smile and play baseball. Rock on Will, and all the Bros. 🤘😎

[@krystalcrow7575]

QzHa ha my dad never gets me any of that. He’s only gotten me Louisville

[@sk8rpunkn8]

Nothing better than watching an adult with d1 background swinging youth bats to help decide what kids with an avg exit velo of 50-60mph help make decisions on a 400 dollar bat. Really helping that team out.

[@KarmaWolf63]

The ICON rarely lets you down, You can still smash em to the moon with it! Love that new color scheme it looks legit!

[@billvoltzke2698]

Teammate picked up a tank last Monday after seeing your first video on it. Monday night in a scrimmage it broke at the top of the grip on the handle. Had probably a dozen swings on it, no more. I’m guessing ours was defective.

[@SpamMer-w9h]

i thought the ball was going crazy at 6:15 but it's a fly lmaooo

[@juicy8989]

same i was like wtf

[@MyYTaccountName]

Hahaha! I thought this a few times during the video.

[@JayOrtegaTheBaller8]

Bro oh my god lol

[@NateDog209-gg6qk]

me tooooooo🤣

[@_Nathan-]

3:32 and here 😂

[@brianswisshelm3313]

Love these videos. I havnt played baseball in 20 years but I keep up with the bats every year because of these guys lol. Thanks guys. Always fun watching some bombs being hit.

[@Jcosta7286]

My son has the 31 -8 2024 version 2 of the ICON and loves it. Hit his first 2 tanks with that bat, and is already asking for the 2025 32 -5 for next years 13u season. He's a good hitter but once he got the ICON his confidence was next level and he was absolutely raking with it. I like the subtle paint job on the ICON, but the Tank has the drip factor! haha! Honestly you can't go wrong with either option.

[@SwampDonks5]

Hey man I’ve been watching you for about 3 years now and I’ve gotta say you’ve came along way and you inspire me to practice everyday and get better I really look up to you. Keep up the amazing work!!❤️

[@prioritytarget7157]

I just wanted to say that everyone who has a baseball bat review KZbin channel should have hair like that, and that marble camo bone look on the Icon is premium.

[@BennettSmith-w8h]

I love this video but I want to see a video of you durability test the soldier tank and icon to see how long they will last. Love the content, keep it up man!!!!

[@dadbod4life]

The fact that you mentioned the Tank is heavy in the hands helped me so much. My son currently uses a Zoa and wants the Tank or Icon next season. I was worried the Tank may be a bit heavy (even the Zoa is also heavy and hes crushing it). I think ill let him get the Tank if he chooses. Hopefully we can find both bats in stock so he can swing them side by side. He will be in a 30 inch -10 next season.

[@707ridah]

@ 3:30 tell me that homerun looks like the ball bounces way off the building bit it was a bug.. crazy timing

[@milesbucc9]

i was thinking the exact same thing when i saw that

[@CashHudson-m3u]

Same here

[@187Overkillah]

You should do some Hitting and work-out routine videos. FOR REAL!!!

[@MrBlackFabio]

That Rawlings ICON is fire!! Love the sound the bat makes.

[@TBIRD0625]

It could just be me, but I swear the Tank is starting to sound different, almost like a longer, softer sound than what it did earlier. Crazy that it sounds and feels different and yet still puts up like 115mph. Definitely need a long term review a couple hundred swings in

[@Frosty14]

Ya is sounded a little more violent

[@Playpubgm1120]

Just getting back into baseball again after a few years, this is awesome content fellas! Keep up the great work!

you should try the new full composite usssa bonesaber hybrid!

[@sonnick]

This! I'm sure they will over the next week or 2.

[@miguelpaulino7429]

I was about to say the same!!!

[@Domthegamer8-h2w]

Hey I just got the icon for Christmas.I’m 11 years old about to play in spring travel ball and I have no swing on the icon.Do you think you could a video about how to break in the icon so that I know what to do

[@goodgonzo8]

You were the ones who told me to the the 24 icon and I love it batting .400

[@stephenx_xmatch2378]

Will is my personaly one of my favorite baseball producers, like if u agree

[@faerazo]

My son and I love these vids! When are you going to compare the new Bonesaber USSSA composite bat. I am holding off on getting a USSSA bat until there is more info on the Warstic.

[@jonathonsigler1652]

We got the new bonesaber hybrid and my son loves it way more then his old hype fire.

[@andrewp99]

Will the Marucci CAT X2 Composite dethrone the Rawlings Icon?

[@jonathonsigler1652]

Please bring in the New Bonesaber Composite to review against these two bats please.

[@GOCWAZY]

I just got mine today and took some swings and it’s my favorite bat I’ve swung

[@Jiddy12345]

Really cool that you can gradually see the moon setting in the background.

[@kosmo_2k]

Man, I would give anything to be able to swing the bat again and hear that sound.... I miss it man

[@Gavinthealpa]

So I was debating buying the -8 tank or the -8 2025 icon, I am mostly looking for a durable bat that has pretty good pop and I came down to these two bats, which one should I buy?

[@CaydenLim9]

I need a -5 bat next season and I’m thinking about getting a Rawlings icon which one is a better choice 2024 or 2025 icon?

[@romanempire705]

My 10 year old was hitting monster shots with the 2024 zoa it eventually broke towards end of season he hit one around 250 and for ten thats crazy idc how strong you ate at 10 thats crazy

[@GotFrisky]

Ya’ll need to try out the Reebok Vector Composite from like 2010. It was a 2-piece with a gray barrel and the black middle connector piece had red circles carved out. Thing was HOT

[@jpeeezy]

DUDE FR

[@derek25x16]

In a -10 would you recommend hype fire or icon?

[@SuttonHowe-n7b]

Icon

[@Coastersandwater]

This is unrelated but have you heard anything about the dirty south swag 9? I had a game today and dirty south was there demoing bats, the drop 8 and drop 10 had no break in swings and were hitting it as hard as a hype fire, potentially harder, it was also very slightly endloaded, it also had a very good sweet spot, I game a hype fire and liked the swag 9 almost as much.

[@Jacobmix21]

Can you give us a update on the icon to see how durable it is

[@GiveMeTheSecretFormula]

That thing is fire 🔥

[@KorekiJoner]

Will have you seen the new atlas supernova some will like the design and others wont but it looks like the new altas that you put the picture of in the community section of your channel is still to come down the track. love the vids keep it up

[@Relax_bro080]

Yooo thank u guys so much this video helped convince my dad to get the new Icon thank u

[@richardpietruszka2708]

Sent my sons Tank back after 1 day of practice. He is 12 and weighs 83lbs, not a big kid. the bat sounded broken after 5 swings and spins at the connection. We are waiting for the replacement and hope it is better than the las one!

[@BASEBALLBATZ-n4f]

Yo bat bros is the warstic hybrid bat usa and ussa have the same pop

[@thinkitsstillallowedfornow1093]

Love your videos. Would love to see you review the drop 10 vs tank and the 2024 phase 2 icon to see Most of us watching gotta be dads with younger sons and the -10 typically is drastically different in terms of sound and break in but also durability wise most players with drop 10s arent swinging anywhere close to break/crack it

[@IncredibleMomentsRR-f8f]

great video! i really liked how you broke down the features of the 2025 Rawlings Icon. however, i gotta say, i'm not convinced it's better than the 2024 model. maybe it's just me, but i feel like the performance gap isn't as noticeable as some people claim. curious to know what others think!

[@Gamble9000]

love how you can see the moon slowly set during the cuts to different swings

[@Storytimeclipss]

Hey do you guys think you can review the brand new easton tango 2025 BBCOR

[@jonjack-nn3ph]

the crispy mullet curls got me drippin

[@nathanvaleriano5968]

You guys are blessed to be able to have those bats I have the Walmart one

[@goodmatt78]

We cracked our 4 month old 2024 29 -8 and just received a 2025 as the warranty replacement. It is 1oz heavier....so there is some difference. We are still breaking it in, but the cracked 2024 is still 3mph hotter off a tee.

[@TheTecnic]

is it better than the hype fire?

[@DayvidBS]

6:47 love that POV

[@krusty783]

You should do a swing off between the brown, white, and new icons.

[@janastewart9642]

Now you need to do the 2025 hype

[@Vt550i]

Review the 2025 goods and 2025 voodoo one

So I have a question, should I get a 2024 or 2025 icon. Thank you!!!

Hey will if u were me would you still get the -5 2024 icon or no

[@lilb2698]

@ThebaseballBatBros1 what

[@Bill_1639]

3:32 …when the ball hits the roof, what I think was a bug flys by at the exact moment and position of contact that it looks like the ball ricochets off the roof and flies off camera to the right 🤣 I had to watch it like a dozen times and I’m STILL not convinced that it isn’t the actual ball 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bryce-i1z]

How is this man not in the MLB

[@ChairmanMeow1]

What is the difference with the neon yellow balls? Also Will really likes the ball up, he's super quick to anything up and turns on it. 4:08 -- yikes!

[@1uckedout]

Just a different color for better visibility. Same balls

[@ew2123]

Please review the new army green goods that just debut on the DeMarini website! 🤞😁

[@elizabethrhinier4464]

Now do the new Warstic Bonesaber Composite

[@Paul-815]

Between the hype fire ,icon, and soldier tank. Could you rate the swing weight. There seems to be a discrepancy. Would love your opinion between them all. Looking for lightest swing weight. Thank you , love the channel.

[@mikem.5003]

What are your thoughts for the drop 10s? Not sure how big of a difference it is from a -5 to a -10

[@justinfleck7912]

How fast is the machine pitching? I can’t say I’ve ever heard what that is in the videos. Love all the videos

[@BowenBenedict7]

Should I get one piece good 2 piece goods or select PWR as a back up bbcor

[@kirkrivas8172]

Hi guys! Any hints on how to determine what phase of the 2024 Rawlings ICON I have? I was shipped one recently from Rawlings to replace a Hype Fire drop 5. I love the channel! Thanks!

[@baseballbatbros]

I wish I had something for ya. There’s probably a way to tell with the serial numbers. That’s the problem of manufacturers doing things like that without saying anything publicly.

[@snickers882]

If you follow the hit at 3:30 when it lands it almost looks like it slingshots out and goes flying.. but I think it’s a bug.. but it messed with me the first time I seen it. Same with 6:16

[@BubbleBros3125]

Try out the black emerald bat it is insane🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TannerClark-me6it]

U need to start making more videos because we love your videos and there the best

[@mikemetz3131]

Will, my son swung the 2025 tan BBCOR icon yesterday and really liked it and wants one. I also found a used 2019 meta prime that’s a lot cheaper. How do the two compare and if you had a choice which one would you go with?

[@mightychicken9922]

Hey Will! Mason Guerra got drafted 14th round!

[@LuV2SkRaTcH]

Hey just wondering if you’ve seen anything about the bat rolling service, and wondering if you can do a video on it? I’ve only seen ads on Facebook about it, wondering if and how helpful it is. And maybe explaining the process it that’s possible too would be great. Thanks!

[@Shnawg21]

It’s illegal to roll bats and use them for games if that is what you were wondering, basically, bat rolling makes the bat a trampoline and the compression of the barrel just hits absolute moonshots, however many companies will do it

[@1776jackpot]

Rolling a bat is not illegal and you can not prove said bat was rolled. Just breaks in and weakens the bat.

[@j.dperez4886]

My son and I are patiently waiting for the Bonesaber composite review but the icon is tempting

[@Hellrazor4eva]

Besides the weight, what is the difference between the drop 8 and drop 5. Is one hotter than the other?

We need a review for the drop 8 and 10 of the icon to awe where they are based on durability a d performance.

[@FatKidFriendly53]

You guys know if the Icon and the Tank are still very good for the -10 bats or is this only for the -5's?

[@beauch1119]

Is the drop 8 Icon as hot as the drop 5? I heard you say in the video you’ve heard good things, anyone on here swinging one of those?

[@CollinBurke-r8c]

Dude I got the bat for my birthday and first tornament I was 10\11 at the plate with it

[@lynaefleck3598]

Is the drop ten tank as good as the 2025 icon

[@MarraSoftball]

Sounds like the barrel of the tank got super low compression by breaking in a ton or by a hairline fracture on one of the inner composite sheets.

[@baseballbatbros]

That’s what I’m thinkin
