    Talk about durability, my son just played his last 13u tournament and has swung the Marucci Cat 9 Comp, 31 drop 5 from his Spring season of 12u through the Spring season of 13u. Not one crack , seam, or rattle. IMO, the best USSSA comp bat out there. Plus, 2 other kids on the team also used it. FYI, he hit 19 tanks with it, lol.

    As someone who played baseball growing up I would LOVE to see if you could find the skinny barrel combat B1 “da bomb” or the blue B2 and review those for some of this newer gen kids who might not be familiar with them. That was next level pop. Or even like the TPX tritons or the Catalyst. Would be interesting to see that exit velo and distance! Love the vids.

    • @beneisenberg6003
      @beneisenberg6003 8 місяців тому

      Those combats were ridiculous. They were made in Caledonia, Minnesota and their only travel team for any age when I was playing I think it was 13u and 14u they won state back to back and they had illegal bats that were re-wrapped to look like the B2. I think Combats owner was the head coach or atleast one of his kids was on the team and supplied it. But ngl the normal B2 was insane so no one really suspected it we just thought they were cracked but whoever they played in the championship asked for them to be studied and they were way different

      To be honest it would take atleast 10-20 swings atleast, will can take a whole round of Bp with it and obviously he doesn’t swing as hard but it wouldn’t be a crazy difference, he literally hit a ball close to 110 with a wood bat and one the hardest ball this year was 120 in the mlb, and the guy who did that is a monster

    I think it needs to be said that with the professionalism and seriousness in which you do your business, I don't think you need to make disclaimers about "being serious" about your exit velos and distance computed by the Rapsodo/HitTrax. If casual people who don't follow the channel want to think that something's "off" or "funny", let them. People who follow the channel know that you're giving it a square, honest effort and what is produced in velo/distance is the real deal as best as the tools allow to be measured. That said, I really appreciate the words and expertise on display. The knowledge of bats and companies is fantastic to see. Much respect.

They say "to imitate is to compliment". So know this, you all are being copied and imitated around the country (well at least by these boys in Alliance here). Your doing a good thing and having fun at the same time, I really hope the best for you Will and the Bros. Rock on 🤘😎

    I also own both -5 bats.
    Hype Fire
    Short break in time
    Decent sweet spot (took about 10-15 cuts to get used to)
    Higher exit velo
    Comfortable knob for palm
    Durability concerns (none currently)
    Swings like a balanced XL1
    Hotter than all XL1s (I own them all) and Green Zen
    Doesn't come in 33" (Cat X and Zens do)

    For 500k subscribers you guys should do custom Baseball Bat Bros jerseys, Jordans & finally Collab with Marucci, Easton or Louisville Slugger for a much needed BBB edition wood and metal bats!

    how is the -8 more durable? Obviously not an expert when it comes to bats, but it seems if the -8 is lighter for the same length, they would have to remove weight somewhere and that would compromise durability??
