We spent $1,600 on bats for this video… drop a like please lol Part 1 (2:09): On-field performance testing Part 2 (18:05): Durability testing Part 3 (25:20): Exit velocity testing
Wood bat content is the reason I watch and stay on this channel. Everything else is great fun for me, but as a washed 28 year old men’s league player… this is my bread and butter
@@jonathandowney7291 I switch a lot. For the past few years I’ve used a 33.5 Marucci Maple CU26, or a Trinity bats 34’ T271. Trying out the 33.5 Dovetail Bats I13 right now and like them

From Australia. Baseball is not a popular sport like football and cricket. This guy hitting is so entertaining that i may have to follow your season. Great video, content, and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊👍
@baseballbatbros In case you guys were wondering, that discoloration on the barrel of that Dove Tail bat is called the heartwood. The lighter-colored wood that makes up most of the bat (and most bats in general) is called the sapwood. The heartwood is located closer to the center of the tree’s trunk and the sapwood on the outer section of the trunk. Though the sapwood is generally more desirable for wood bats because it tends to be a more consistent weight and hardness, bats that contain small sections of heartwood on the barrel are not actually considered to be lower-quality. They just have a bit of a different look. Hope this helps 👍🏻
This video is literally everything I love about your channel. Great performance and knowledge plus informed decisions and advice. Doesn't get any better!
Love the bats and the work you put into letting us know what is worth spending money on. I have to mention that field at the beginning is AMAZING! I mean that is a nice Field! I would live at that field if they had apartments underneath! I like the sound of a good metal bat, but nothing can beat that KRACK of the wood on a good hit on a good wood bat......it is like listening to good music you like.
So crazy to see how far you've come, not just as a content creator but as a hitter. I remember when you were stoked to hit in the mid to upper 90s with BBCORs, and now you're hitting 105 with wood.
When I was playing HS ball 18 years ago your average Louisville slugger was around $40-$60. I just checked because I haven’t priced bats since then and the classic ash LS bats are about the same.
Thanks for this video. I enjoy all your content but the Wood bat content is my favorite. If you ever get a chance Try the B45 B61 model. It has a 1.03 handle with a 2.56 barrel. Seems like a perfect mix between a 110 and 243. Thanks for all that you do because there are so many wood bat companies and turn models. I hope you enjoyed making this video boss.
Love the content, next wood bat showdown or review should include homewood bat co. Rising company within the majors, having players like Bobby Witt Jr.
Great video! I'm so glad you purchased the bats anonymously! MLB gets the cream of the crop while everyone else gets the rest. Still good, but not quite as good. Anyway, I need to buy some Baseball Bat Bros. merch!
I think it would be a really sick idea if you would take the best sounding bats and just take a round of BP with just the sound of the bats. I feel like it would be a vary satisfying video.
The cool part is that when that table saw grabs that would and pulls your fingers into the blade, you'll no longer need to swing bats anymore. Bye, bye fingers
swung the JC24 all the way through highschool and JuCo ball. Glad to see it getting some love. Criminally underrated and couldnt recommend more! Great video!
That Baum is the clear winner from the first swings. Just nuclear. I totally felt the pain with the Acuna though…that would be the bat I’d want to swing.
So Will where is your warehouse that you store all of these bats, somewhere between Bend and Redmond...... can it be seen from space, keep up the awesomeness in the Science of bats always great to watch and learn.
Will, how could you POSSIBLY forget to bring the bamboo savage bat from the cheap wood challenge!?! You said yourself that it was hot as hell. And it was like 35 bucks! I think it deserves a shot here 😂
Glad to see chandler still has the best wood. I wish yall made this a year ago I bought an aj99 and I’ll agree the swing weight is a bit more awkward than my i13
You should do another video with some of the biggest names in baseballs turn models. Bobby Witt, Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout - get a group of 4 or 5 people to try the different models and talk about their pros and cons. Maybe even throw in a $40 Genuine mix just for a fun comparison 😂
Definitely got the wrong model DoveTail. Should've hit the OB1..way more Balanced. Kel started swinging them his 8th grade year, and loved them. other than the "Cutch", he lived by them. Now 17, just bought his 1st Camwood Pro Birch this year. Loves it too.
Great video, sick to see how far the channel has come with the quality of videos being put out. Huge fan of the RAJ13 as well, was interested to see you count the Baum even though its BBCOR certified, makes sense though with it being legal in most casual leagues.
Love the wood bat content. Would be interesting to hear swingweight comparison to bbcor bats for matching up wood to metal gamer. Another good small bat company Walk Off Wood (WOW) bats.
It would be interesting to see you compare your old American Batsmith and the new one. Was it actually a softer cut of wood, or was it that other companies have just started putting out better products. The Old Hick went from your favorite to bottom half in this vid.
we've swung em both in the cages and the OG TS28 indeed feels/sounds/hits better. That's what is tricky about wood though... it's from a tree. Production/quality assurance when it comes to replicating the same exact product over and over again isn't exactly easy.
Dovetails are definitely absolute logs, especially that Puig model. I’ve found that the PA20 is a lot more balanced with a longer barrel and bigger sweet spot. One thing that should also be said: thinner, whippier barreled bats are what you want for bat speed and exit velocity. Bigger barreled bats are not meant to be swung with the same intent as a thinner, lighter power hitter’s bat. The mass of the bat will mean you won’t get bullied by the ball, even with a slower swing speed. Louis Arraez swings a huge CU26 for example. But yeah back to Dovetail: I’ve never gotten one of their bats that when weighed was less that a drop 2 (some have been drop 0 when it was supposed to be a drop 2). However, I am 6’3 220 lbs, face 85mph at the highest in my men’s league. I can swing these bats and despite the weight prefer them over everything else.

Part 2 (18:05): Durability testing
Part 3 (25:20): Exit velocity testing
First?
Let’s go
Love the content
What speed do you hit off of during batting practice and these videos?
I spent $90 for fireworks yesterday but it was worth it just like this video
Wood bat content is the reason I watch and stay on this channel. Everything else is great fun for me, but as a washed 28 year old men’s league player… this is my bread and butter
Same!
What is your gamer bat?

Roy Hobbs? MSBL?
Best SOUNDING episode yet. That sweet crack of the bat
📠
I know they’re legal, but the fact that we’re still calling Baums “wood” bats is ridiculous. It’s a full composite with a skin of wood for show.
Theyre full of carbon fiber and almost literally cork lol
exactly
Not legal in MLB or their minor league teams.
Stop bitching. Its a good wood bat. Who cares if the wood is only the skin!? ITS A BAAAATTT
It still has the overall limitations of a wood bat though. Very small sweet spot... It just doesn't break when you hit it on the wrong spot.
The Baum bat is basically the Hype Fire of wood bats
Nothing beats the sound of a wood bat
that funky discoloration is wood being unique and gorgeous.
From Australia. Baseball is not a popular sport like football and cricket. This guy hitting is so entertaining that i may have to follow your season. Great video, content, and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊👍
its the greatest sport of all time its just very difficult

Was praying you didn’t break the RA13
everyone gonna be ordering bats under the name "Will Baseball Bat Bros" 😂
And since Will revealed his alias companies are gonna cheat him again and it will be the other way around...
I liked the video with the Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth bats.
My son has the LS acuna maple bat, we love it. Great bat, great barrel, few stings, easy to swing, great sweet spot.
Damn I love this channel. Takes me back. The number of times I said oh man during this video was out of touch.
I could listen to wood bats hitting baseballs 24/7
0:02 "waduup waduup Wood here with the baseball bat bros! "😂😂Lol Yes! New nickname!
I lost track of the bats. Became mesmerized with all the balls that were put in the gap. Very impressive!
Nice! You guys were at Dell Diamond in Round Rock TX! Beautiful field!
Head to the INDOOR water park across the street! 🏊♂️
I love all your videos, but when I see wood bats I get extra hyped! Classic sound
Love the bats and the work you put into letting us know what is worth spending money on. I have to mention that field at the beginning is AMAZING! I mean that is a nice Field!

My home city of Louisville is known for two things. 1. Horse racing. 2. Making bomb ass baseball bats.
@@Billwyatt1982 what’s that? 😂
@@Billwyatt1982 shitty cops are in every state😂 I wouldn’t really consider that a Louisville thing.
I don’t know if these are as popular as the bbcor showdowns but I frickin LOVE the wood bat videos. Now I need some beeps
I’ve been waiting awhile for another wood bat showdown!!! Thank you!!! 🙏
Henry for the WIN!!! Maybe one day my nephew can meet you!
So crazy to see how far you've come, not just as a content creator but as a hitter. I remember when you were stoked to hit in the mid to upper 90s with BBCORs, and now you're hitting 105 with wood.
Shocked the Baum bat didn't break the table saw
Yesss thank you for making this video. Needed it for my next season. Still love my Old Hickory and Victus
Surprised the Bellinger signature wasn't included. I thought the bros were big fans of that bat.
Think it’s similar model to Acuna that’s why
Will has gotten significantly better since this channel started
My God, wood bats have gotten so expensive.
When I was playing HS ball 18 years ago your average Louisville slugger was around $40-$60. I just checked because I haven’t priced bats since then and the classic ash LS bats are about the same.

B45 makes excellent birch bats. Very underrated.
Love the content, next wood bat showdown or review should include homewood bat co. Rising company within the majors, having players like Bobby Witt Jr.
Zinger X-73 model. Best model I have ever used!!!
Love the wood bat showdown
Finally a wood bat showdown again!
You should get a Chandler RA13 and compare it to the Louisville RA13-- would be cool to see if they're the same swing weight and density
Awesome video as always. Thanks for the info Will!
Always gonna be a good video when Lefty Will shows up 🤘😎
Great video! I'm so glad you purchased the bats anonymously! MLB gets the cream of the crop while everyone else gets the rest. Still good, but not quite as good. Anyway, I need to buy some Baseball Bat Bros. merch!
True fans are here in the first hour🎉
Hey I made it
or ya just have no life and live on youtube. ;)
I had practice when he released it
Blud how is it our fault if it didn’t pop up on our page
So if you have a job not involving computer access, you're not a true fan? Great logic.
I think it would be a really sick idea if you would take the best sounding bats and just take a round of BP with just the sound of the bats. I feel like it would be a vary satisfying video.
Which bat would you game out of these?
The cool part is that when that table saw grabs that would and pulls your fingers into the blade, you'll no longer need to swing bats anymore. Bye, bye fingers

best job on youtube. cool stadium setting on this one. increased the vibe
So Will where is your warehouse that you store all of these bats, somewhere between Bend and Redmond...... can it be seen from space, keep up the awesomeness in the Science of bats always great to watch and learn.
Just in time for summer ball, your a smart man Will!!
0:53 that Henry content, tho…..
Yo i am dying right now with the Syndrome villain cameo!!! 😂😂😂
I love you guys!! So informative! Keep up the great work
I need a -5 wood bat for middle school next year. Could you please do a video on the best -5 or -6 youth wood bats? It would be very helpful.
Let’s go Will!!! Been wanting you to bring back a wood bat video. And that lefty swing looking like Adley
Hey Will, have you ever thought about trying smaller wood bat companies to do a wood bat showdown?
Repping the E train! Love to see it
what what up we are here with the BaseBallBatBros
Yall gotta give SamBat some love, they make good bats.
I had to double take but can’t believe you’re at dell diamond. Must of been for the hs playoffs hope your liking texas 🤘
The man cut a $295bat in half for us. That is dedication! Another great video BBB!
Sword 0:13
I haven’t played baseball since little league but your videos are so satisfying to watch hit
Having the channel logo on a ballpark scoreboard is absolutely unreal. Soak it all in!
Good times nicely done 👍 enjoying the longer video format 😎
hey man can you test the attic flame or as some call it the hype ice because i want you to try it before i buy it
Congrats on 600k 🎉🎉
The fingers being so close to the blade at the end... I can just see my pops running at me with a belt if I'd done that lol
Will, how could you POSSIBLY forget to bring the bamboo savage bat from the cheap wood challenge!?! You said yourself that it was hot as hell. And it was like 35 bucks! I think it deserves a shot here 😂
I just love the sound of a baseball hitting a bat
Great vid but since the old hickory mt27 was older wouldn't that make the exit velo naturally be lower?
These guys are DEDICATED! Thank you for helping people spend their money more wisely.
I wish you weighed them for the video, to see how much they each varied from -3. Any chance you can post up the weights?
Glad to see chandler still has the best wood. I wish yall made this a year ago I bought an aj99 and I’ll agree the swing weight is a bit more awkward than my i13
Gotta try the homewood bats
More wood bat shows! Do some small companies: Zinger,BWP, Dinger, Tater, Trinity, phoenix, rockbats, OTW
Been waitin for this one
You should do another video with some of the biggest names in baseballs turn models.

I was stuck between that Axe 50 & the flared maple 271, it's barely an axe handle.. next time they go on sale I might have to grab that Mookie
Henry’s a W get that man in a video immediately
Need to test the vullo wood bat
hell yeah man, more wood! I love the wood bat reviews. Anyone can hit a nuke with a bbcor or aluminum bat.
We need more wood bat vids
Dovetail is underrated. Not a lot of ppl like it cause it’s for a grown man 😎💪🏽
It’s fun seeing you swing lefty again
Great video, sick to see how far the channel has come with the quality of videos being put out. Huge fan of the RAJ13 as well, was interested to see you count the Baum even though its BBCOR certified, makes sense though with it being legal in most casual leagues.
You should check out the new CamWood European Beach Wood bats. I’m curious to see what that wood is like
Amazing video ❤
Could you do a comparision of *any* kind of bat using your name and an alias (has to be henry) to show us the difference?
Love the wood bat content. Would be interesting to hear swingweight comparison to bbcor bats for matching up wood to metal gamer. Another good small bat company Walk Off Wood (WOW) bats.
Round Rock!! Welcome to South Texas boys!! No cold hands here baby.
Thank you for another awesome wood bat video. Wish you included the Tatis 23 though. Cheers!

Next time get the Prairie stick wood bat in the mix.. You may be really impressed 😊
Need to throw a Dinger in there. Would like to see how it performs. Good Stuff!

I would love to see a zinger wood composite video i’ve heard they’re great
I had no idea you could swing it Lefty. Nice video.
Love my custom Lindy12. Wish we could’ve seen get another chance here.
I just want to thank you for including subtitles
You guys need to get your hands on an original Easton Connexion. I think they came out in 2001, its a more forgiving drop 3 Z2K
