      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.

    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 😅

    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

    Composite in BBCOR just doesn't have enough room to reasonably separate itself from any Alloy. Now that is by design of BBCOR, since composite bats go from underwhelming to dangerous fairly quickly (see: 2022 Hype Comp -5 vs 2023 Hype Fire -5), but it's very telling that the Icon is 2nd on the Bat Bros Top 55, with the next comp bat at 17th (Combat B2 ATB), and the next 2-pc comp at 32nd (LS Meta 2023). Not to mention that the #45-#55 has 6/10 bats as $380-$500 comp bats that are discounted by 40-80% on the secondary market because they blow so hard.
