This is what Will should’ve named the knobs: 1. The Standard Knob 2. The No Knob 3. The Bell Knob 4. The Axe Knob 5. The McNob 6. The ProXR Knob 7. The ProXR Mini Knob 😂

My grandson, age 10, has only used Axe handle bats. About a year ago, I bought him a wood youth DTB axe handle bat. Recently, I purchased the identical bat, but with a ProRX handle. While still early for comparisons, he so far prefers the axe handle. Is it true that you’re supposed to face the label to the pitcher with the ProRX handle. If so, we’ve been doing it incorrectly.

@@edcampbell8176 yeah you are supposed to face the label towards the pitcher the way the bat sits in your hand allows you to get such good extension. Keeps your barrel in the zone longer and helps level some people’s swings out

I could probably fall asleep to this video cause it's so calming with the nice cracks of the wood bat and occasional bird chirping in the background. Relaxing.
There’s something so soothing about watching some nice swings hit dingers
"That almost got me!" ...Will don't care.
You guys should try Joey Gallo’s knob, I noticed it during the home run derby

Gallo’s knob is just a traditional knob with a little extra wood at the end to add some balance to the swing weight.

Was just looking at these bats
Roberto Clemente swung a No knob 34" between 36-40 oz according to Hillerich & Bradsby/Louisville Slugger. G.O.A.T. ! Great knowledge bombs and video!
My son loved the no knob on his Bonesaber so much I had to put a flare adapter on his new Cat9 Comp. He loves the no knob. Great video guys
Love your channel dude’s. The sound of the funky pro xr is amazing.
YESSSSSS!!!!!! Thank you Will, I almost gave up on the DTB video.
The feeling after you hit an oppo shot with a wood bat is amazing
Watched the ads for y’all to do more vids like this, every little bit helps, keep up the great work
I could listen to this all day
The Brothers would love the Cooperstown Bat 3/4 knobs. It takes the winning no-knobs (plus many other knobs) and shaves one side to alleviate pressure on the hamate bone.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m happy jt is back and no cast on his arm
The “George springer activate” hit 🔥
Its pretty cool I just mentioned this bat company a couple nights ago and now they got 7 of them
My Mets got a lotta love in this vid 👍👍
Love this, very underrated brothers here and very underrated part of the bat! Them swings look pretty

Minute and a half in...and already gotta say this vid gonna be 🔥🔥! All birch too!! Let's Gooo!!
Finally some DTB's !! Niiiiice .... Now we need to see some DTB model comparisons / reviews ... Maybe regular vs. "super dense" ... Please & TY :)
these knobs, the comfort knob was my 8th grade "invention"...I made it and made this thing that applied to aluminum Easton bats...I called it the "Educated Heel"...lol, but this was like 1990...nice
The standard and axe knob are my two favorites
A USSSA bat madness would be heat, love the content!!!
Hey Bat Bros I’m a college commit and love your guys swings and energy I would love to take hacks with you guys and experience such a time!!!
We need this exact video with old school Late 1990s early 2000s metal bats.
Really enjoyed this video, especially the bit that explained why you don’t see many tapered metal bats. Was researching how to make my 9-year-olds handle more comfortable and came across this video. Super helpful and we are going to try adding a taper to his bat. Wish bat tapers were more common knowledge so it hadn’t taken us so long to even realize you don’t have to suffer with the traditional knob you get on most little league metal bats. For some reason, after market tapers appear to be a lot more common and talked about in softball. Maybe girls are just more willing to admit the traditional knob hurts and then do something about it!

You should do a review of a dinger wood bat, they have custom wood bats for $115 and stock bats for $85, I love the videos and keep up the good work
At last the video I’ve been waiting for.
Love you guyssss keep it up!!!
Went to school with Pete Alonso. Very nice guy. Also your friends lefty swing is so satisfying to watch.
So hyped for the reviews on the 22 goods III and voodoo one. Paint looks sick, can’t wait to see how well they preform too
dude im hooked on your videos
I was hoping for a better showing for the Bell Knob haha I'm using a B45 Cargo5 with bell knob and love it!
Liked instantly. Let's get it started 💪💪
JT has a beautiful swing
How does your No-Knob compare with the Birdman “Bomb Knob” on their “truck stop” bats?

Your hands are a bit more free it’s very unique fir your swing tho. A lot of barrel control it’s easy to get to the inside pitch and hit a gap

i have the 2020 elite one axe bat and I love it
The weird pro Xr is like a axe no knob hybrid
Great video!
i use a standard knob but have a thick bat grip on it to thicken it up. it feels like there is a slight knob there but is comfortable, so i get the best of feeling like i my hand wont slip off but have no knob at the end
I don’t know why I’ve never seen this knob on another bat, but the Baum Bat knob is super nice
Was waiting for this vid
Wife just walked in on this conversation about knobs.....she slowly backed out of the room giggling. "Yeah, that knob feels pretty good"
The Velo slaps FTW! Would love to see a colab with Eric Sim!
The no nob is crazy
first time watching years till the last video i watch!!!
Instead of athletic tape, I've been "no knobbing" metal bats for a minute with hockey tape, then putting the wrap on over it. The hockey tape is thicker and the bat wrap sticks to it better.
This brand of bats is my initials! DTB 🙌🏼
You guys should try out the Slugger U47. It's similar to the Jeter turn model and it's got a comfort knob.
I always had blisters and pain in my hand where you said you have it when you swing with the regular knob. I wish they had something like the no kbob when I played in the 90s. I don't play anymore but I kinda want to get one and go to the ball field just to see how much better it really is.

you can buy lizard-skin nat grips that are really think and if you ride it up onto the knob its more comfortable. i wanna see someone make a handle mould that makes standard knobs of metal bats feel a little more gradual
That’s a beautiful Mets hat😍
you should do this again with all of the american bat smith knobs
Will at it again with the sweet Js
Hey man the camera is the real MVP 😂
You should try to get the one that rizzo sometimes uses. Joey Gallo used it in the homerun derby
You guys should try and get Joey Gallo’s bat. His knob is huge to add more weight at the hands. I saw him using it in home run derby and it reminds me of a Cam Wood Bat trainer.
Lizard skin makes some nice rubber tapers you can put under the grip that are only about $6-9. A little more than do it yourself with athletic tape but another easy option if you don't have a taper on your favorite bat.
Did you see the knob on Joey Gallos bat in the home run derby? The knob was huge!!
Bill Russell used to use the "no knob" as his standard bat.

Hol up….
I like the axe nob
Need to test the new puck style knob bats that are coming out this year
for those wanting a quick reference as to which is better (standard knob is a baseline) 1. Comfort Knob 2. ProXR / Axe Handle (depends on whether you want power / contact) 3. Standard Knob 4. Where the Knob At 5. Bell Knob 6. Funky ProXR (might be good for someone with small hands)
I’m old school. I like the traditional knob but that’s really all they had when I was playing ball growing up so don’t have much experience with the others.
Where's the 271 flared knob? Super comfy in my opinion. Great vid! Thanks ;)
Gauntlet thrown King of Juco needs to make an appearance!
Review the DTB tremor when it comes out! The first Metal bat with proxr handle!!!
Holy shit dude the KNOB!!!?
"Where the knob at" 😂😂
of course it goes 400 dead center right after you channel the king of juco
I know this comment probably won’t be seen but I got an attachment for my victus nox called the “Markwort Knobcuff EZ Taper” and it gives you the comfort knob feel, highly recommend
I agree the knob is vital to a baseball bat. Every wood bat company in the world should offer any knob for any bat. Anyways I am trying to get a hold of you, but don’t have social media. I got an amazing idea that you can help with that could turn into a great business.

Is the no knob and the flare knob pretty much the same thing?
Your vids are fire 🔥
This explains by Bonds used the bell knob. He has power to spare, just needed the control it affords.
14:59 that sounded like a metal bat
My bat is like the 3rd one; I call it the door knob.
The camera LIVES!
Great vid
True! Mines broken rn lol
The NO KNOB BAT!
you guys should try a model joey gallo uses i’m not sure what company makes it but it has like a circle block as a knob
The McNeil knob? Missed opportunity. It's the McKnob
Let's see a video with Eric sim
