This is what Will should’ve named the knobs: 1. The Standard Knob 2. The No Knob 3. The Bell Knob 4. The Axe Knob 5. The McNob 6. The ProXR Knob 7. The ProXR Mini Knob 😂

[@baseballbatbros]

McNob - that’s gold

[@edcampbell8176]

My grandson, age 10, has only used Axe handle bats. About a year ago, I bought him a wood youth DTB axe handle bat. Recently, I purchased the identical bat, but with a ProRX handle. While still early for comparisons, he so far prefers the axe handle. Is it true that you’re supposed to face the label to the pitcher with the ProRX handle. If so, we’ve been doing it incorrectly.

[@MACKEYP]

@@edcampbell8176 yeah you are supposed to face the label towards the pitcher the way the bat sits in your hand allows you to get such good extension. Keeps your barrel in the zone longer and helps level some people’s swings out

[@draKe-pl4vf]

Sounds like some sort of McDonald's food lol

[@baseballbatbros]

@@edcampbell8176 yep you hold it at a quarter turn unlike the axe handle

[@CH4madness]

I could probably fall asleep to this video cause it's so calming with the nice cracks of the wood bat and occasional bird chirping in the background. Relaxing.

[@anthonydolce5401]

Great video. The fact I can watch dudes hit BP for 35 mins shows how dope y’all are

There’s something so soothing about watching some nice swings hit dingers

Roberto Clemente swung a No knob 34" between 36-40 oz according to Hillerich & Bradsby/Louisville Slugger. G.O.A.T. ! Great knowledge bombs and video!

So call them up and get one 👍

[@loganhelman6181]

You guys should try Joey Gallo’s knob, I noticed it during the home run derby

[@MrDude667]

Gallo’s knob is just a traditional knob with a little extra wood at the end to add some balance to the swing weight.

[@connorsalvatori1721]

Really enjoyed this video, especially the bit that explained why you don’t see many tapered metal bats. Was researching how to make my 9-year-olds handle more comfortable and came across this video. Super helpful and we are going to try adding a taper to his bat. Wish bat tapers were more common knowledge so it hadn’t taken us so long to even realize you don’t have to suffer with the traditional knob you get on most little league metal bats. For some reason, after market tapers appear to be a lot more common and talked about in softball. Maybe girls are just more willing to admit the traditional knob hurts and then do something about it!

[@hygrometer]

these knobs, the comfort knob was my 8th grade "invention"...I made it and made this thing that applied to aluminum Easton bats...I called it the "Educated Heel"...lol, but this was like 1990...nice

[@hooniesscc]

The feeling after you hit an oppo shot with a wood bat is amazing

[@ChrisGarza57]

YESSSSSS!!!!!! Thank you Will, I almost gave up on the DTB video.

[@brucehaney5247]

The Brothers would love the Cooperstown Bat 3/4 knobs. It takes the winning no-knobs (plus many other knobs) and shaves one side to alleviate pressure on the hamate bone.

[@edcampbell8176]

How does your No-Knob compare with the Birdman “Bomb Knob” on their “truck stop” bats?

[@MACKEYP]

Your hands are a bit more free it’s very unique fir your swing tho. A lot of barrel control it’s easy to get to the inside pitch and hit a gap

[@edcampbell8176]

@@MACKEYP Thanks for the information!

[@baileysmith4744]

for those wanting a quick reference as to which is better (standard knob is a baseline) 1. Comfort Knob 2. ProXR / Axe Handle (depends on whether you want power / contact) 3. Standard Knob 4. Where the Knob At 5. Bell Knob 6. Funky ProXR (might be good for someone with small hands)

[@Truckerdaddy]

Its pretty cool I just mentioned this bat company a couple nights ago and now they got 7 of them

[@arloboutureira]

Was just looking at these bats

Went to school with Pete Alonso. Very nice guy. Also your friends lefty swing is so satisfying to watch.

[@seanlaw1031]

Finally some DTB's !! Niiiiice .... Now we need to see some DTB model comparisons / reviews ... Maybe regular vs. "super dense" ... Please & TY :)

[@baileysmith4744]

i use a standard knob but have a thick bat grip on it to thicken it up. it feels like there is a slight knob there but is comfortable, so i get the best of feeling like i my hand wont slip off but have no knob at the end

[@dittykong1384]

Watched the ads for y’all to do more vids like this, every little bit helps, keep up the great work

[@MatthewWalker526]

I agree the knob is vital to a baseball bat. Every wood bat company in the world should offer any knob for any bat. Anyways I am trying to get a hold of you, but don’t have social media. I got an amazing idea that you can help with that could turn into a great business.

[@baseballbatbros]

Absolutely bro! Feel free to shoot us an email [e-mail]

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

You guys couldn't upload quick enough for me. I'm obsessed with this channel. I don't even play baseball anymore (28 and long out of college), just like watching good batting practice I guess.

[@lauramurray6690]

You can get the pro XR in an aluminum bat now from dovetail

[@plasmac9]

I always had blisters and pain in my hand where you said you have it when you swing with the regular knob. I wish they had something like the no kbob when I played in the 90s. I don't play anymore but I kinda want to get one and go to the ball field just to see how much better it really is.

[@baileysmith4744]

you can buy lizard-skin nat grips that are really think and if you ride it up onto the knob its more comfortable. i wanna see someone make a handle mould that makes standard knobs of metal bats feel a little more gradual

[@srvargas111]

***CONTENT ALERT**** Has Bat Bros thought about making a video on “Does Grip Matter”. Gloves vs no gloves vs gloves with Pinter vs no gloves with dirt vs anything else MLB players do for grip. IM REALLY INTERESTED TO SEE VELO TESTING!!!!!

[@mcel2322]

I don’t know why I’ve never seen this knob on another bat, but the Baum Bat knob is super nice

[@ash0372]

Glad the comfort knob got it as I don't know why ProXR and Axe handle bats demand the prices that manufacturers are asking, your only getting half a bat when you can only use one side. Unless you have a left handed bro you can share it with :)

[@edcampbell8176]

Don’t virtually all hitters use the same side of the bat for all their swings? Everyone is taught to have the label facing you before swinging. How many players face the label away from them just so they can hit on the other side of the bat?

[@edcampbell8176]

But I agree, companies are over pricing the ProRX & Axe handle bats

[@jonnya3425]

Best personality on KZbin.

[@Dr.MalcomsBrokenLeg]

Love this, very underrated brothers here and very underrated part of the bat! Them swings look pretty

[@baseballbatbros]

Thanks bro!

[@Marylandterpenes]

The Funky Pro XR looks identical to the axe flared handle , I like the standard axe handle more that's just my opinion. 16:37 think that's the reason all flared axe bats come with a grip!! Put a lizard Skin on bet it will feel 100% more secure , I don't like grips I tiger stick tf out the flared

[@mylesvargas8798]

I was hoping for a better showing for the Bell Knob haha I'm using a B45 Cargo5 with bell knob and love it!

[@Jbzero999]

Instead of athletic tape, I've been "no knobbing" metal bats for a minute with hockey tape, then putting the wrap on over it. The hockey tape is thicker and the bat wrap sticks to it better.

[@charlesrocks]

We need this exact video with old school Late 1990s early 2000s metal bats.

[@UralicFreak]

The standard and axe knob are my two favorites

[@grimmlovesbsbl333]

You guys should try and get Joey Gallo’s bat. His knob is huge to add more weight at the hands. I saw him using it in home run derby and it reminds me of a Cam Wood Bat trainer.

Where's the 271 flared knob? Super comfy in my opinion. Great vid! Thanks ;)

[@KDSRirelandboy1]

Is there any rules for bat design that would outlaw drilling into the end of the handle so a little more can be added to the barrel? I never see it, but it seems like it would help with balancing out handle-heavy bats.

Lizard skin makes some nice rubber tapers you can put under the grip that are only about $6-9. A little more than do it yourself with athletic tape but another easy option if you don't have a taper on your favorite bat.
