I loved how you managed to beak a batt in one filming session from like out of the wrapper to unsafe to use.
I haven't gone to a tournament without seeing these two bats! I just love these videos, you've helped me so much with choosing a bat!

Me to bro I was contemplating if I should get the 2024 icon 2024 hype or 2024 catx composite
Talk about durability, my son just played his last 13u tournament and has swung the Marucci Cat 9 Comp, 31 drop 5 from his Spring season of 12u through the Spring season of 13u. Not one crack , seam, or rattle. IMO, the best USSSA comp bat out there. Plus, 2 other kids on the team also used it. FYI, he hit 19 tanks with it, lol.
As someone who played baseball growing up I would LOVE to see if you could find the skinny barrel combat B1 “da bomb” or the blue B2 and review those for some of this newer gen kids who might not be familiar with them. That was next level pop. Or even like the TPX tritons or the Catalyst. Would be interesting to see that exit velo and distance! Love the vids.

Those combats were ridiculous. They were made in Caledonia, Minnesota and their only travel team for any age when I was playing I think it was 13u and 14u they won state back to back and they had illegal bats that were re-wrapped to look like the B2. I think Combats owner was the head coach or atleast one of his kids was on the team and supplied it. But ngl the normal B2 was insane so no one really suspected it we just thought they were cracked but whoever they played in the championship asked for them to be studied and they were way different

The Blue B2 was unbelievable. I hit some bombs in little league with that thing that still haven't landed yet.
New subscriber here. Thanks for including these young men on your channel. It really gives us dads a good point of reference. Much appreciated.
Love the energy and encouragement the boys have each other!

Hey will my name is Daniel and I am going into my 13u season and I play third base and sometimes shortstop, I was wondering if we could review a 2024 usssa bat like what you are going to do in the next part with some 7th graders. I am also going into the 7th grade and I think that would be perfect. I hope this gets to you Will, and have a great day.❤

To be honest it would take atleast 10-20 swings atleast, will can take a whole round of Bp with it and obviously he doesn’t swing as hard but it wouldn’t be a crazy difference, he literally hit a ball close to 110 with a wood bat and one the hardest ball this year was 120 in the mlb, and the guy who did that is a monster

I think it needs to be said that with the professionalism and seriousness in which you do your business, I don't think you need to make disclaimers about "being serious" about your exit velos and distance computed by the Rapsodo/HitTrax. If casual people who don't follow the channel want to think that something's "off" or "funny", let them. People who follow the channel know that you're giving it a square, honest effort and what is produced in velo/distance is the real deal as best as the tools allow to be measured. That said, I really appreciate the words and expertise on display. The knowledge of bats and companies is fantastic to see. Much respect.

This video is taking me back to when i was in 7th grade swinging a yellow easton xl1 drop 5
would love to get a collab with you and the slow mo guys and see all the bat/ball compression!
Your videos are my favorite part of my day
My son coaches 10-12 year old boys and they watch your videos (parents also) at practice. Your videos are both entertaining to the kids and informative to the parents. They say "to imitate is to compliment". So know this, you all are being copied and imitated around the country (well at least by these boys in Alliance here). Your doing a good thing and having fun at the same time, I really hope the best for you Will and the Bros. Rock on 🤘😎

Swing weight differences? Thanks guys!
Y’all are so inspiring keep it up
Can you do a comparison of the old vs. DeMarini D243 Composite? They increased the price from $150 to $250. Could be a good comparison since it’s been s few years since they came out in 2018!
What are you using to measure the exit velo and distance?
Been waiting for this!
What happened to the Demarini gattica, the one with the grooves in the barrel and the weird knob?
I also own both -5 bats. Hype Fire Short break in time Decent sweet spot (took about 10-15 cuts to get used to) Higher exit velo Comfortable knob for palm Durability concerns (none currently) Swings like a balanced XL1 Hotter than all XL1s (I own them all) and Green Zen Doesn't come in 33" (Cat X and Zens do)

When you talk a third of a season, are these game swings only? Or is that if you practice with it too?
Which bat would u guys recommend for high school baseball
Love your content keep it up bro
How fast do u set the pitching machine?
That paint job is so fire
We are currently shopping for a new bat, my 12 year old is 6'1 and 180 lbs. We are leaning toward a drop 5 mainly thinking we could get 2 seasons out of it as he will be entering u15 next year. But hes absolutely banging balls. You had him wanting the bonesaber hybrid but it doesnt come in a 32/33 drop 5. Is their any other bat you could suggest? We are positive he would destroy the hype fire immediately.
In the market for a new -8 USSSA and this video was insightful. Any news on a new paint job for CatX? Just broke the knob off the Cat9 Pastime (2 seasons) and need a replacement but will wait a month if a cool color scheme is coming out.

My 8u player hits 61mph exit velo with a catx alloy 29” drop 10 about to head to 9u and was buying a 30” drop 10 hype cause he swung the 29” one and it swings lighter than the X. So getting him the 30” I hope keeps the timing the same because he was so out front on the 29”.

Drop 8s have a bigger barrel
w as usual the best baseball youtube channel
I love your stuff blud
how is the -8 more durable? Obviously not an expert when it comes to bats, but it seems if the -8 is lighter for the same length, they would have to remove weight somewhere and that would compromise durability??
I live and play baseball in Belgium. We're only allowed to swing drop 3. Never even swung something different, is there an advantage to drop 8 or other things?
@dh31409

These bats have a crazy trampoline effect and are mainly used in "travel" ball here in the states. You don't have to be a decent hitter to hit line drives or gappers with these bats. As long as you place the barrel in front of the ball, it will travel.
Its now 2 years ago you did the Demarini Corndog, review it again!
I'm just hoping the regulation doesn't come crashing down on it because it is HOT. I used it after it had a major crack running down the barrel from a guy using it and it still hit a ball about 10 mph faster than my usual with a wood bat. A fully broken in hype fire is legit scary to watch. I can't wait to get one for myself and cut it open lol
Is there any word on the durability issues being fixed on the 2024 voodoo one

Would love to do something like this with you guys but I live no where near you guys, bet I could hit 100 with the hype or something
