Do not EVER apologize for a long review. Half the time I am so disappointed when your videos end because I still wanted to see more swings. It is just so entertaining seeing you test these bats.

Seriously. Love hearing him talk about the bats in detail and seeing how he pounds the ball. I don’t even play ball anymore but it’s just so entertaining to watch.

I first found your channel during the pandemic, and have been hooked ever since. Please accept this next part as unsolicited, but completely constructive, criticism. I would desperately love to see this channel add some sort of camera, be it manned or otherwise, system in the outfield. Hell, maybe an inexpensive drone even, with the sole intent of providing the viewer a better understanding as to just how hard some of these calls are being hit. Also, in my 25ish years of playing ball, I can honestly say that I don't remember seeing a ball slam into the fence, and I sure as hell don't recall hearing homeruns smack a building behind our HS baseball stadium. College ball was the same way. So, I wish I could actually see a top-down shot of these nukes being hit. Just my opinion, do with it what you will.

This is your best review yet bro IMO. Also, very few people will get this reference, but the Atlas is your BBCOR version of the Genesis 240 APG2 when it came out.

You aren't lying lol@@baseballbatbros But outside the Hype Fire which is just dumb, damn near everything else you've thrown at it, it has beaten. Thank the Bat Gods it's not $500
Nukes aside the videos have been looking crisp af and I’m here for all of it!!!
What an emotional journey! I have swung enough bats at this point, I know exactly what doing a review like that feels like. Loved every second of it!
I’ve watched several of your videos. I think this is your best, most in-depth review yet. Finally, subscribing.
One of my 13 U boys mom bought him one of these.... dude this thing is gas.... we play HR derby at practice with this thing... it's 🔥
Remember when the Voodoo One just took everyone to the wood shed? "The future is now old man"
Stumbled upon this channel a few days ago with the old school bat tests: Babe Ruth, Mantle, Shoeless Joe, and was instantly hooked. Love these vids man

ABSOLUTELY THIS BAT IS A TANK! 44 PRO
These videos go by so quick, so I wouldn't worry about time. The Atlas always seem to be the most consistent bat you swing.
2024 Atlas vs. Bonesaber Hybrid vs. Select pwr>>>> that would be crazy. Don’t think it’s happening tho

I don't think it matters. The hybrids vs one pieces all comes down to personal preference. Watching a Louisville game, they all seem to prefer the select pwr.
My 13 yr old son choose the Atlas after watching your videos and swinging several different bats. He is a lefty power hitter and he absolutely loves that Atlas! Hit his first bbcor HR lol yesterday 400+ ft over right center . Don’t know the EV but that ball got out fast!!! Thank you for all the reviews and being an amazing hitter!
Yes. The old 2021 2022 voodoo before the black cap update were the best bats I’ve ever used. Way more forgiving and hot
Dude... I have been watching these videos for months now, and every time I do, I think, "That looks like the stadium i used to play in." It is the stadium I used to play in. Bend North FTW! I won my first traveling tourney there too.
Can you make a video talking about how your power improved over the years? Compared to when you started, seeing you hit balls 450 with BBCOR is pretty crazy. Was it lifting, swing changes, or just taking a lot of swings that improved your power? Would be a sick video
Great review. As always... What speed have you set the pitching machine to?
I was looking for a video of this bat a few weeks ago and now there is a video😊😊
There is a clear difference with the end cap change of the 2024 voodoo, I have the the 23 voodoo and I tried the 24 and it felt different, not crazy but it was enough for me to notice not as much pop with it.
I’m so happy to see Louisville Slugger Atlas preform so well. I’m from Louisville and go by their museum and stuff everyday.
All 19 minutes worth it. Bad ass video
Was shaping up to be a monster, shame about the durability issue with the end cap splitting. Maybe they can address that and we'll have a nice 1pc alloy contender.
1 Tank won’t do, so just buy two! Your enthusiasm for this bat is awesome. I really hope they fix the durability issue.
You’re the best at doing this. Baseball bat bros are bible. Appreciate all the time you put in for the community
There is nothing wrong with a long review as long as it’s great like this. As for the Solider Tank, what are the dimensions? As for the color, let’s just say I prefer the color of the first Tank bat a lot more than this current one. Too bad it has durability issues. I really enjoyed this video.
Description of the newer Voodoo Ones being stiffer/more rigid seems to be the case. Lol just got to the end where you brought out the 20/21
Bat bros you hit freaking tanks I respect that
Easton rope next 😁
I found your channel as a little 11 year old now im 14 and watching these videos has made me like baseball even more and more this is the best baseball channel you can find Im dissapointed that the bat broke though
I don't watch baseball, but i enjoy the tecnical vids you have.
FINALLY a longer review!!! 10-12 min videos are way too short
that pink and blue blowing out the gamma on my monitor 🤣
Swing is Poetry In Motion... Great reviews
Love the length of this video. Really unfortunate with the end cap. Hope some redemption comes for it. It was swinging amazing
Sweet stick! Love the colors. And you did hit that ball pretty hard off the endcap early in the vid though. Maybe need to get another to be sure.

Your a bat killing machine dude. Amazing hitting
im not a huge fan of baseball but i love technology and your content is so good
I love your videos so much there so entertaining
The fact that you are going back and forth with this and the ATLAS is UNREAL.
All The Baseballs On The Roof Of The Building😂 This Is Awesome⚾️
Will, you should make a bat bros scale for the best bats of all time😂. Love the vids man keep it up
I got to swing the tank before I came out it was a a super regional tournament it’s nice
Love the longer videos
Been waiting for this one
The waitress was not amused when he ordered green eggs and ham.
Can you review the glow stick icon? I saw it when I looks on justbats while looking at the soldier tank
Good times nicely done 👍
Ngl I love the longer bat bros videos
I remember 2010…I was a sophomore in college and the NCAA decided to make BBCOR the new bat certification. They were shit. The best power hitter on most teams would hit 5-6 homers over a season. I’m so thankful that they’ve finally come to their senses.
Sometimes the cards we are dealt are not always fair. However you must keep smiling and moving on.
I like the long review! Nice looking bat, too bad about the end piece
I’m also loving the angle
I love the look and sound of the bat! But, even too from the video, it got a rough break in! Lol, but I know I'd enjoy that bat! If you get another, lefty trial!
This guy is a bp god 😂 Will could u please use a blast motion sensor i am interested to see your bat speed and attack angle during these legendary bp sessions.
Yo yo, what is the model pitching machine you use? The high school team I coach has been wanting a new machine and ours took a dump last week. I ain't throwing any more BP because my arm would about fall off. Thank you and if anybody else has suggestions I would gladly take them. We are out in the Antelope Valley in Southern California.
Dope video bro, as usual.
Looks like will upgraded his camera, very clean
Hey, I am getting the same performance out of a wood bat and my bbcor bat “Louisville Prime” the all white one, I’m wondering if I have the wrong bbcor bat
There is something about seeing baseballs hit at night that is so good.
You should do a bat review on the new axe bat pink and blue with flared knob, usssa it is my favirote
Is the windbreaker warmup jacket thing you go on ever gonna be for sale ?
Dude's got it all. He can swing boy!
I swear Willy never fails to disappoint us 🔥 💯
Forget about performance, game the Tank for its style. This bat justifies the creation of a fasion stat in the game. Thanks for the review!!
My uncle works at Soldier Sports and I told him all the amazing things you've said. He responded with duh.
Durability and Affordability need to be on the bat bro scale. Awesome review tho Will 🔥👍🏽
You guys should look up Aidan Crocier usc baseball. Gets up to 110 with his voodoo.
I love the pink and blue combo 🤤
I would really love if you did a Demarini goods camo bbcor
Bro do u have any thoughts on the best girls softball bat I’m out of my element with softball I’ve got them the ltx 2024 -11 8u softball I realize ghost advanced is the best on the market just wanted ur thoughts on what u would have ur kids swing
Hi Will, good video as always bro! I will say something and I don't want you to take it as a bad thing cause I think it can be good to lookback at older stuffs and use it to better and things like that in life in general. So, I've rewatched a lot of your older videos lately to be sure that what I was thinking was OK and I think I was. Since you have the Rapsodo, in my opinion, your minding set on the ranking of the bats, is now more on the exit velo than you were before.... in the past you were more 1/3 feeling, 1/3 pop and 1/3 exit velo(anything you want to use to rate them)... Let me explain why I decided to tell it: In my opinion, exit velo is not important when you hit a BOMB, a 430' HR at 115mph or a 430' HR a 110mph is still a BOMB ! So, exit velos are good for in field hits to go through as fast as possible to pass the in fielders and for the line drives for the same reasons.... ALSO, you do these vids for kids or teens that are not as strong as you. I don't know if others will have the same opinion as me now or not, we all have our opinions and like I said, Will videos are good the bats ranking might have been the same than before he was using the rapsodo cause he was always doing the hit track after... but in the past, he was having an opinion on the bats and the velos were an addition for the bats that sometimes were taking a bat up in the ranking and that was the main goal of doing hit tracks to add something to the lists.

I hope they get that end cap situation straightened out because this bat looks absolutely dope🔥 I was really rallying for the Tank to come into the mix and shake things up and it did just that. Excellent review and the length, detail and honesty was much appreciated (as always). Looking forward to a follow up on this for sure!
Can you do a review for the USSSA select power? I know the hype fire has the top spot, just curious on the select power.
19 min hell yeah!
i just bought this bat yesterday. please don’t break on me🙏🙏
an honest fellow indeed
You should do a 2012 Easton XL1 -5 vs Hype Fire
I have a interesting request could you possibly do another review of the bat i am interested to see what the duribility of the bat is if you do not have a bad of a missed hit on the end of the bat like you did.
Baseball bat bros y’all should try the 2019 DeMarini cf black
Buddy and I went 4-6 combined using this… literally right before this video droppef
Don't be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams.
Clout vs voodo vs cat X and maybe tank would be an absolute banger
What bat is JT using tonight against Arkansas State? Not the Atlas or Select Pwr
Who else flinches when he swings, hoping he gets all of it? lol
Bat is gorgeous
WE NEED THE SLO-PITCH BROTHERS BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE …. I’m done of baseball so I need the low on the slo-pitch bat world. Please bro I’ve been in this channel for years ❤
Even though he thought the world was flat he didn’t see the irony of wanting to travel around the world.
I swung the 33” Tank. I hit multiple 300 ft shots off our hack attack jr. My 32” Mav1 was about 15 feet shorter. I wonder if it was due to the longer heavier bat.
I saw 3 reviews of the tank on just bats and 2 had the endcap come off after 100-150 swings
I’m 12 I swing a Easton hype and im about to get a new bat what bat should I get a rallyings icon or a different bat
New lighting 👌
I love this dude, IF SPLITTING HAIRS HAD A REVIEW CHANNEL 😂
Can you do a home run derby with coach rac, Eric sims, and you. also can you do a bat combo, where you match up bats with their best any company sliding mits and batting gloves.
