Easton XL1 vs. Easton XL3 | 2-Piece Composite vs. 1-Piece Alloy BBCOR Bat Review

  • Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
  • The Bat Bros swing a couple old-school Easton BBCOR bats from their 2013/14 "Power Brigade" series: the XL1 (2-piece composite) and the XL3 (1-piece alloy). These are some of the only bats from the early BBCOR days that are still being used in college baseball.
    We bought the XL3 off of eBay, and the XL1 was sent in by one of our viewers/friends, Mack Palmer (thank you bro!!)
    You can find our full BBCOR & USSSA bat rankings along with our Bat Bros merch at baseballbatbro...

    2014 Easton XL1 was super famous in Korea. Every team once had it! But soon it was prohibited all around the country after it caused one player to go blind. (Hard irregular grounder to the third)
    Even more, since 2014, most Korean Sunday baseball leagues have banned carbon-composite bats!
    However, still, we don't have any bat regulation, such as BBCOR or BSER, and most amateur players use -5 unregulated bats.

    You should compare the XL1 to the Hype. I haven't gotten the chance to examine a hype because 500 bucks is ridiculous but the tech and balancing is supposedly inspired by the power brigade series, which i have studied, so it might be a good budget Hype.
    Also, I'm super happy you've decided to get a machine with very consistent speed, but at 65 mph, you'll have to adjust your statistics because an increase of 20 mph in pitch speed increases exit speed by ~3 mph for the same point of contact

      If you feel comfortable enough with a balanced bat, and you don't mind the extra swing weight, the goods is a great bat, but with the durability problems, you might want to get a warstic gunner, victus nox, or a select pwr, as they are all really good for versatile, and they won't break easily.
