    The Louisville Slugger 916 and 918 were my 2 favorite BBCOR bats I ever used up until I got my Voodoo One. Curious to see how they would compare to the Icon.

    • @jabo2619
      @jabo2619 11 місяців тому

      Totally Agree! The Aeroburner Comp as a light swinging composite should have been revisited. Will has gotten stronger and his swing has improved. This vid would have been comprehensive is the aero burner comp was compared. Cool vid nonetheless.

    I'd love to see a video where you take the three best bats (in your opinion) from Rawlings, LS, DeMarini, Easton, Warstic, and others and put them in a battle to see which brand makes the best bats. That would be cool to see!!

    @R3I3 11 місяців тому +13

    You mentioned it at the end I don’t think I’ve ever seen you swing the Prime 918 on the channel. I’d be very curious to see how it stacks up against the Icon since it’s the only bat I’ve used for the past 6 years and I’ve loved it. Although, It’s the only bbcor I own so for all I know I might’ve been swinging an overpriced dud for all these years 😅

  • @michaelfoley6075
    @michaelfoley6075 11 місяців тому +1

    In my experience, that z1000 is an above average bat. But when the sound changes, it's the outer plastic ring breaking on the restrictor ring. Then it's insane! But it's on borrowed time. My son has broken 2. He still has 3 more. Lol
