Stringking deserves an updated review tbh. Been gaming it over my catx, feel like you could probably get some higher velos with it now.

[@Mozziekill]

I love my Stringking

[@jonas.k15]

i think it has great pop and swing weight but the sweet spot is not it for me, near the end cap is dead and near the hands is not good at all, atlas is much better imo. My bat could just be dead as well but that’s my opinion

[@canebuller3174]

I’ve been doing the opposite. I just benched the stringking and the catx is my gamer.

[@michaeldc951]

Been thinking about getting a string king for my son. Second year of baseball. He’s 10 don’t want to drop 350.00 for a bat but want something solid.

[@mrbug4803]

Picked up a few Stringking pro 2s at the College World Series booth this year. They are pretty popular on my sons team and at that price they are a steal!!!

[@brettturpin3559]

Your channel is so addictive. For an over the hill old man that loves and misses playing baseball I love it. Keep it up

[@187Overkillah]

Yeah, just seeing how he hammers those balls, revives my feeling of BP and seeing, feeling and hearing smashing balls deep into the sky right through that sweet spot, you immediately know you hit that good.

[@Qbort.]

Have you guys considered adding "value" to the bat bro scale? As these bats start to get closer to each other it might be helpful.

[@AidanBarbs]

great suggestion tbh that would be great

[@1uckedout]

Value is subjective and will vary from person to person. Considering how fragile some bats can be, a durability score would be useful. Though it would be pretty hard for Will&Co to actually get accurate data about something like that without access to bat company info like warranty claims and Will has already made it clear he doesn't want to jeopardize the perceived integrity of his reviews by having a relationship with the companies whose product/s he's reviewing. Realistically, the BB scale covers everything it reasonably can.

[@bo1129j]

wdym value?

[@Qbort.]

One could argue it's all subjective...

[@michaelstrane3254]

​@@1uckedouttheir entire rating system is subjective. At least price is quantifiable.

[@Las1k]

Bro, price to performance this bat is FIRE! Absolutely sick, make bats $200 again!

[@reuszenm]

First, best channel ever. I'm a travel coach (my last season) and I watch every BBCOR video you make. However, I think it may be time to adjust the scale a bit based on swing weight. I don't think many 15U guys can swing an end-loaded bat unless they're legit units. And I know this is a lot of work as my day job is literally running web and KZbin for a big company...but I think it's time to separate the light bats from the end-loaded bats and put them in separate lists. OR, maybe a light, mid, and end-loaded rankings. My son is 15 and at 5'10" 160 lbs, I want the lightest bat with the most pop for him. a 17U kid is probably bigger and stronger and would gravitate towards a more end-loaded bat. Just a suggestion from an older guy that is obsessed with this sport...and your channel.

[@GLE94]

I am not sure why it is so entertaining for me to watch all your videos of you swinging bats, but man… I can’t get enough of them!

[@twinsrookie]

Interesting barrel profile for the 44 pro. I'd love to see you do a review of the 2023 Rawlings 5150 (if possible).

[@bmw88watts]

Found this on YT shorts

[@pumpkayn]

It’s the only way I could find it

[@kylebaseball1503]

[@KobiHameed]

the way the ball moved at 3:54 😂

[@liammurphy1458]

knuckle ball😹

[@304.brommy]

2011, 2013, 2014 Easton S4 - all had 2 1/2 barrel diameters. Meant to replicate a wood bat and make a lower MOI... Have a few 33's and 34's!

[@tonyrogers8188]

They're offering $50 off this weekend if you've purchased a glove. $200 bbcor is solid!

[@ac_thunder_3237]

Which bat do you recommend for 13u ball?

[@aidenboileau5078]

Absolutely love the drone or high up angle of the roof. So fire

[@DEValentine]

Stinger Guardian is a beast!!! My son's college banger. Big sweet spot and plenty of power to put it over the fence. Amazon is currently selling the Guardian BBCOR in a bunch of different colorways for $199. An outrageous bargain.

[@metallicasnake]

One of the things I like the most about these reviews is Will's encyclopedic knowledge of bats. Having hit with so many, it is a great pleasure to see different bats mentioned in comparison to the bat at hand and that's no small thing. Thanks for another great video and thanks for what you do.

[@ArchiveQ50]

Haven’t played in years, yet it’s the only channel I follow religiously

[@timothypeet2765]

Great video Will. I have been waiting for your thumbs up before I customized and bought a bat. I wanted this bat to be good, I have three different 44 gloves and they are great. Can't wait to hit this!

[@WatsUp7]

yo i love your vids, currently heading into 14u and I have used your channel to get the best bat possible for my build, thank you!

[@michaelkresge7334]

Stinger Guardian + Lizard Skin Flared Taper + Lizard Skin 1.8mm grip = 24/30 bat (7 Sweet Spot, 10 Power, 7 Swingweight). Swingweight goes down dramatically, and makes it feel whippy, almost exactly like a Bonesaber, but it still has the pop and a much bigger sweet spot. Guardian comes with a skinny handle and thin knob that makes it feel more endloaded than necessary. Extra Taper + Thicker Grip is the answer. Give it a try.

[@DEValentine]

My son has almost that exact setup on his Stinger Guardian, although we're using some generic no-name taper. He loves the leverage it gives his swing.

[@diego3980]

Have you reviewed the rawings 5150 yet. Been wanting to get the 2023!!

[@wesshirk1040]

Found this on a short before it was on your main page

[@Ny1252bird]

Cool you can customize the colors

[@tiernanmurphy5519]

Love the videos at night under the lights

[@PtchersWR]

reminds me of a bat i used to have. The Rawlings Velo 2017 Model. Super balanced bat but the sweet spot was a bit weird for me. It has th e exact same sound as the 44 Bat does

[@baseballbatbros]

Similar to the old Velos forsure

[@JacobSchweizer]

Should I get it for 139 right now?

[@zachkaltenbach8416]

Love the new drone shots

[@vasilios687]

Curious to see a value/durability/life expectancy scale for some bats that you guys review. Bats are expensive for how few swings you can truly get out of them, so affordability takes a hit in that manner.

[@RonaldPace]

You have a great swing. Nice job with your channel.

[@jacksonmorris9103]

I just bought this bat

[@Bostonclaw]

Design is very minimal but with the right colors this could be drippy 🔥🔥🔥

[@icers86]

Thx for these videos, they have really helped in picking out bats. My select pwr just came.

[@jackson-d4c]

whos calling the exit velos?? I've always wanted to know

[@baseballbatbros]

Bat Bro Wife

[@reeceadams7544]

Idk if I would put the 44 at max power. Just comparing it to the atlas it just didn’t go as far

[@FilmColossus]

Yeah, was pretty shocked to see that.

[@tredogzs]

Why the radio for the rapsodo?

[@cartermartin359]

I need a -5 bat with durability and pop with good swing weight any suggestions? Mine is DEAD

[@Emily-And_the_bffs]

It would be nice to know the difference between a 32,33,34” if the barrel is actually bigger or is the handle just longer?

[@turcotte5]

@The Baseball Bat Bros. @Will, my son wants your batting gloves! They look sick with the new Atlas!

[@Tevatron044]

I appreciate the fact that it's customizable to a level similar to a wood bat and that's likely why the lead times are similar I haven't handled it yet, but I'm assuming they went with a barrel diameter of either 2.60" or 66.5mm instead of the 2.625" aka 2 5/8". Why they did this? Idk. Their overseas manufacturer might've been working in metrics or they wanted wiggle room with the tolerances. Since the bats are custom painted, it's a benefit to go a bit smaller. How this translates to performance? It has 0 effect on contact rates and because it's bbcor, the effect on compression is negligible. Slowpitch bats are 2.25" thick and they have more pop and sweet spot than any bbcor ever

[@BallingHighlights]

We NEED bat madness back!!!

[@KeatonKauling0213]

So you think this bat would be good for just a practice bat so I don’t overuse my game bat?

[@Saw-ds3ro]

The baseball @3:52 moved so much

[@obamasux777]

Where can I get one of the barrel rings at?

[@bsballer11]

3:54- that ball danced around so hard. Imagine that thing coming at you knuckling like that. Knock you onto your heels lol

[@eazylou]

Big fan of 44 so I’ll grab one for batting practice

[@nicod1405]

Do the bonesaber vs alloy xp, 🎉🎉🎉

[@huntervikemyr7902]

yo that swing at 3:52 had that ball moving like Dickeys best

[@dawsonthechamp]

Do a vid on the catx vanta

[@Willisadogperson]

Will has the best bp drip ever

[@tubbytoad0491]

The knuckle on that ball is crazy 3:50

[@robertrichards2934]

My sons custom atlas took 10 weeks. I think it was due to the switch over from the gen 1 with the breaking issues

[@joeyzeeee]

3:55 literal perfect contact it knuckled

[@jaxsonmonroney4754]

MAV1 review next👀

[@twwtjohns]

You're helping lots of young baseball players make a decision so they don't waste money on a bat they don't need.

[@coachwarrenraven]

Maybe change the boxes to numbers. Power should be Max EV and Average EV for each bat. Swing weight should be the weight number exact to the hundredth, but an outline of a bat where the weight is. Red is hot for more weight, blue for less. So it is barrel heavy then red color on the barrel. Or red on the handle. The sweet spot should also be a bat outline, to show how much of the barrel is the sweet spot.

[@PHANTASMEZ]

just found this on shorts 😅

[@landynmcgowen7000]

Will you guys be reviewing the Eason rope? Was hoping to see a review before buying the bat.

[@kolton_reicks]

soldier tank review plsssss. supposedly the hottest bbcor out rn

[@ShadyOne9]

You guys must spend a fortune on baseballs!😂 Been watching his videos since day 1!! ❤

[@spodge5868]

bat bros, iyo (in your opinion) atlas, bonesbr hybrid, or select pwr for new highschooler?

[@gottamaintain46]

Hey Will. Why do you think that the Easton Ghost X 30/20 is banned? It’s been banned since 2018. I’ve been seeing it in the little league games a lot lately.

[@jerryzabba]

We were at a Cal hitting clinic and they had a Rawlings Clout that seemed pretty nice. Had a millions swings on it, so somebody clearly has been using it. That claimed it was an unreleased demo, but it looks like it's only $250 on a couple sites. Maybe worth a review?

[@Arie_V_Gaming_28]

We need a sneaker collection video. I always see heat while you’re hitting in videos.

[@FlintAngelovic]

That ball is hammered.

[@CrackD5]

44 is def worth it I have one and you do not notice the barrel being slightly smaller in diameter it has insane pop

[@wyattheins]

Review the Louisville slugger 617 again. Been popping up in college and I’ve heard many say it’s better than the select pwr

[@olive6425]

The ball at 3:53 curved so wildly

[@lfish21.]

Knuckleball

[@_Nathan-]

Dang didn’t realize the full video was on the short! I’m late!

[@callmemoody6018]

I love all of your vids

[@caydenmcgarity8574]

Easton used to have an S3 BBCOR or it might've been the S4 that was 2 1/2 inch barrel

[@davegod75]

I'd like to see more comments about bats that fit "contact" hitters vs power hitters.

[@michaelcarter2797]

Thank you!

[@BruhMomentTTV]

You know what you must do. Skinny barrel VS Squishy barrel

[@OriginalJoe]

You need a driver / golf spin off channel. Somebody striping 325 yarders with Calloway, TM, etc

[@cityofdemario]

People who saw this because of KZbin shorts 👇

[@AustinJaggers]

Whats your favorite bat over all? Hyp fire?

[@Runner2720]

Thanks for the vid. Can we get some of the 2024 Meta review

[@SportsEditz9931]

What bbcor drop 3 bat I should get that’s durable and good and your videos are really cool

[@yourgodfather7938]

3:51 the ball was moving crazy

[@AngeloLombardo777]

Somehow I just subscribed, been watching yalls vids for so long haha. That one’s on me boys, my b

[@landynmcgowen7000]

Will you guys be reviewing the Mav1???

[@reiseclark4908]

Here’s a video idea get a 33 and 34 of the same bat but make an inch long puck knob on the 34 on see which is a better option since no one makes a puck bbcor

[@OLDTIME47]

And in cold weather

[@GehrigLair_7]

Real question do you think you would recommend buying the 44 pro bat?

[@Krew8]

Need to show the kids that will actually be playing with them swinging and seeing what they could do with them? You could still review them

[@ryanniklaus4380]

Can you please try out the bb core z core from Easton

[@SosoCrisco]

When the vid about the new Easton bats coming out? 44 always be drippy

[@Burritoast]

i dont even play baseball, but i sure do enjoy this channel!!

[@fonzi1014ify]

Hey buddy! Do a review on the BBCOR Easton Mav1.

[@EvanVallee-t8f]

Can you do the CarX vanta connect two piece review

[@reeseguertin8490]

we need a gunner vs nuke vs 5150

[@lavedelay7077]

Gunner is a step down from the bone saber

[@slusk291]

When will we see a review of the Easton Mav 1?

[@rico9163]

3:53 crazy knuckle on that ball

[@311hitwall]

What differentiates a bat that someone will use in college vs little league?

[@bradydavis11]

Thanks for the videos!

[@Adam_Curry]

How fast is the ball being pitched?

[@thechief1850]

Probably a 32nd off. I know in construction, if I write down 2’ 5/8” It better be within 1/32nd of that measurement if specs are required.

[@brooksie8288]

Yoooooo that knuckle was crazy

[@Marckesano-19]

I play 14u AAA baseball is the hype fire the best bat for me?

[@TheBaseballAddict]

When is the Mav1 review coming out?

[@Cowboy_skippy]

it seems like its a good bat for speed/contact hitters
