just got the KP pro m1, and I 100% agree regarding the sweet spot. I got about 50 swings in this weekend and when I hit the O on that sweet spot, the ball exploded off the bat. Great review!
The balls utilized in this video are not 52/300. The Rockets are 52/450 with a soft shell to help protect bats. We stopped using these however cause they were performing closer to Hard Core performance which was over performance for us. The Orange/Yellow ball is the 52/300
@@AverageDudesSlowpitch I appreciate the response. I know you guys get tons of questions. I enjoy watching and seeing what's possible, just probably not for me anymore.
The exit velos on these bats seem a lot lower than some of the recent bats you've tested. You hit 110 mph with the 2025 DeMarini's, Bedlam and Easton Alphas.
That's the way I look at it. The senior bats are the same way. They start out even lower and they don't come with 1 year warranties. I'm sure the Riley is a good bat, but failing right from the start is not an option for me. I would never buy that bat....just my opinion.
It can be yes really depends on the power of the hitter. I play USSSA, WSL and Seniors. One of my senior bats is sitting at 165 compression and it just will not break.
Is it just a quality control issue? If it is, it’s way too far apart, also Rawlings made complaints about suncoast. Here they are doing even more shady things. 😂
Assuming they’re softer or just purely older I would use something high compression and durable like DeMarini or Monsta. LS would handle them good by those crappy balls can wreak havoc on them

Great review!
Probably one of the most honest reviews I have seen thank you for that sir
Love to see you hitting 52/300 balls with these bats. Give some of us a better idea of what it "could" perform like in leagues
The balls he was talking about at the beginning are 52's but they are not 300 compression.

Which bat would you pick….
1) Miken Josh Riley
2) Easton Alpha (end loaded)
3) Louisville Bubblegum
Thanks
Probably Bubblegum, Riley, Alpha

Bought the Bedlam. First swing was fire out the wrapper
For folks loving EL bats: stop adding knob cuffs. Adding weight to handle sort of balances the bat.
Free suncoast!!!!
At least they redesign their bats year to year instead of the same shit for almost 3 years but hey free suncoast
@@rockyowens2206 I just see bats that should be banned… but they aren’t because they say Easton miken Worth…..
Freeeee?? 👀 where
VUK grips all day for me. That with the long under grip baseball taper. Add some super 77 and you got a winning combination
Great review as always!
Since you spoke highly of the grape ape as your gamer in a previous video, do you prefer any of these Pro M1s over that?
Miken pro m1 KP would it be ok to game it out of the wrapper for the longevity of the bat?
How's the JR Pro M1 compare to last years JR?
Pearson M1 for tested tourneys, and Riley M1 for everything else. 🔥
Appreciate the review!
Yikes....moonshots and stadium bombs, hendo you sent that one to the next county,great review as always
Seems like this year it doesn’t matter what bat you pick up.
Where to i go to get the twin tac grip?
twintackgrips.com?sca_ref=5733868.YRRE60rw2O
So would the Riley be similar barrel feel to the alpha? Being as the alpha has been often called a 2pc tantrum?
Alpha is like the Tantrum?? The red alpha?
Will you be testing the pro 1 ASA version?
Pro M1 or the bedlam Xl?
What did u like better?
Question: when a bat”s compression drops low, let’s say around 200 psi, does that mean it will break sooner?
That's the way I look at it. The senior bats are the same way. They start out even lower and they don't come with 1 year warranties.
I'm sure the Riley is a good bat, but failing right from the start is not an option for me. I would never buy that bat....just my opinion.

The bats are supposed to break when they get below 240. "supposed" but they usually don't haha
What are the dimensions of the field you're on?
What’s the discount code for it??
Code ADS on Headbangers or check out the description of the video and we’ve got the LinkTree with all the codes you could need
This or a new genesis? We play with soft ass balls here in canada. My old genesis cracked and probably wont last the entire season.
With softer balls go Genesis for sure
Okay thanks! @@AverageDudesSlowpitch

Well we see that purple vg, axe, worth and Lou are far better than the miken bats in terms of ev
What's your thoughts on crappy league ball balls? Meaning what bat to use I keep going back and forth

New Connell resmondo cracked in 50
These bats were 10mph less than some of the other bats you've done... slightly worrisome
