    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Do 7th graders use -8's? I was on a -3 early BBCOR tech at that point.
