Might be a little too niche, but in 2012 we had the 5150s as team bats for the first year as BBCOR and we won a state championship here in Maryland - fast forward to 2014-15 I had the black and red 5150 for my final year of metal bat leagues also the same year UVA was mashing with them in the CWS. Would be dope to see this video for the evolution of the 5150s or Rawlings bats in general.
I still have my 2012 5150 Rawlings and love it. I played also when BBCOR first came out, I was a junior in high school. That bat had some pop to it! Even has the BESR certification!!
Most durable bat I've ever had 718 Louisville been using it for 2 years hasn't run out of juice yet absolutely love it... back in 2017 I hit a bomb in regionals with the S1
The voodoo series has not made serious changes since besr ended lmao pick whatever paint job you like and whether or not you want a warranty and you're good to go. There have been TINY changes but it's mainly about the connection piece and alloy composition which only affects stiffness and longevity. That rattle is usually from the connection BUT it may also be the restrictor ring breaking, which is something that was well known among tpx users before the 2014 merger, especially z1000 and bbcor exogrid users Also, you gotta remember that early bbcors are transitional period bats and that means most designs are based on compensating for a certain playstyle. A kid that's hitting tanks with a besr will want to still hit tanks, so you make the bbcor bats heavier to compensate. Most bbcor bats were besr shells with restrictor rings so as to not waste inventory. Restrictor rings add weight and bbcor uses the same minimum MOI limit as besr so I'll be impressed if you find any 2012-2013 bbcor bat as light as the lightest bats today
I swung that exact same s1 and a 5150 my freshman year of highschool and couldn't pick a favorite. Both great bats and swung those same bats over newer models each year, amazing bats.
Letssss goooo I’ve been telling you Will the 718 is cracked even the -5 was, I swung that bat for 4 years I even had to search for months to find a -3 still in the wrapper 🔥🔥🔥
You guys should do the now illegal Easton MAKO little league bats from the 2013-2015 years. I believe they’re drop 11. The old XL1 from those times were crazy juiced as well
15 year old son swings 32/29 Voodoo One, has both 2021/2022, and sometimes 33/30 Bonesaber, but just picked up the Limited Edition The Goods 33/30, and he hits bombs with The Goods. He hasnt used it in game yet, but hope to see him use it tomorrow night.
Now we got a Bat Madness idea get the best bats of all the year in one tournament this video just showed that some of the old are better then today’s bat
My son plays 16U ball here in the Midwest. The squad has played 25 games. I've seen a handful of absolute in-game tanks + bat flips. All have been with the Meta ...
Just like the newer composites you have the break in the old ones. That white xl1 is better than the 2022 meta (not the red one) but just like how the meta has to get broken in you have to break in the xl as well. You would know it’s broken in if it sounds like a thud. Out the wrapper it will sound like the select pwr kinda. I think bbcor is all over the place in terms of its generation of bats. I’m going to game the bonesaber for my hs freshman year. Just got it for $200 brand new
The Easton xL3 the yellow one with Easton spelled out in the back was one of the best bats of all time and I liked the 917 the best those were two bats I swung growing up
i had the same suspicion about composite bbcor bats, i swore that the cf5 i was swinging in hs was way more juiced than the newer cf zen somebody on the team had and my bat was multiple years old and battered at that point.
I think what I took away from the analysis is that - (1) composite two piece - older/broken in bats will age well, up until they break. (2) two piece alloy - the new bats are solid, but you may find an older outlier. (3) one piece alloy, the newer bats are much better refined and balanced.
swing looks very strong cam would u consider gaming the 5150 rumor has it a 33.5 may be available late December everything else remains the same I really enjoy my 21 33 model lots of pop big sweet spot and power.
I also found 2 33 1 34 Easton fuze 360 hybrids from one of your old videos I bought all 3 new in wrapper happy to send u one if interested I like those hybrids balanced lots of pop power just rare to see anything bur 32s
Do you know what the difference is between the Easton BB11S1 which is in the video and the Easton BB13S1? Is it the same bat that just looks different or does it preform different also?
We had an Easton rep come to my juco a couple years back and he basically told us alloy barrels come hot out of the box whereas composite barrels get hotter the more you use them
@Reid James, the 2016 Rawlings Velo is the first I had experience with. That was the blue/green. Not a bad bat. I just thought the 2017-19 upgrades were big improvements.
My oldest boy swung the S1 back in 2012 & 2013, went to college and swung a 34” S1. He put that 34” in my about to be a Sr son for legion ball, first at bat with it he hit one out. It’s all he swings now! Found a 33” on eBay for $60 so had to grab that one in case he faces some heat.
Old composite bats reign supreme, i remember the easton omen was a beast, then i swung the xl1 in both drop 8 (absolutely ridiculous) then the drop 3 bbcor, and i swear the sound that bat makes is like nothing i have ever heard, and the pop it had made even less sense.
I swung an XL2 that broke on me (Broken handle) an S2 that broke on me as well (broken connector) and then a Paradox that I still have. All 3 were pretty dang hot though.
@@anthonybeffa can’t really think of a bat that I’d compare it to. Definitely not a bat for weaker individuals. Pretty damn end loaded. If you’re a power hitter, I’d definitely recommend. Just keep in mind that the swing will feel difference due to the imbalance, but once you get that down, it’s a blast to use.
What would you say is better between the 2018 prime and the 2020 meta? Also, a CF7 review would be dope! I used that in middle school and brought it back sometimes during high school because I used a 32 inch throughout BBCOR days.
Congrats to Gus Bus on his commitment to the University of Oregon!! 🦆

Exit velo test the older bats!!

I have the 2017 5150 and have compared it to the 2019 version and they feel quite a bit different.
My 2016 5150 feels hotter than my team's new 2021 5150.
I still have my 2012 5150 Rawlings and love it. I played also when BBCOR first came out, I was a junior in high school. That bat had some pop to it! Even has the BESR certification!!
i’ve been asking them to review the 5150s i love the 2017 model
Cam's hitting has really improved over the last 2 seasons.
Most durable bat I've ever had 718 Louisville been using it for 2 years hasn't run out of juice yet absolutely love it... back in 2017 I hit a bomb in regionals with the S1
How is the weight on the 718. Is it heavy and if so what bat does it compare too.
In little league I strap a team with 919 Primes and Selects. The Primes are lighter, but the Selects are just the goats

Y’all should do more old bats. I enjoy those more. They are so hot. And seeing the revolution of these bats is awesome. 😎
best youtube chanel out there. best place to find bat info.
I swung that exact same s1 and a 5150 my freshman year of highschool and couldn't pick a favorite. Both great bats and swung those same bats over newer models each year, amazing bats.
Can you guys do a full review on the prim 918? thanks
Whatever new camera or sound malfunction you changed keep it forever because the sound off the bats sound SO nice
the beauty behind it all, I got the S1 used 31&33 bbcor for $50 each locally
Ik you were hyped
Hit my only high school hr with the xl2 back in '12. Absolutely loved the '12 easton era of bats so this video made my night.
been using that s1 for 2 years and absolutely love it
The s1 was my gamer from 2012 junior year hs to my sophomore year college and I freakin loved it
Cam looks so much stronger, good to see
Try the new limited edition Louisville slugger select pwr 2023
It’s gonna be the same
Letssss goooo I’ve been telling you Will the 718 is cracked even the -5 was, I swung that bat for 4 years I even had to search for months to find a -3 still in the wrapper 🔥🔥🔥
How is the weight on it? What bat does it compare too.
Exit velo test the old favorites!!!
That 2012 Easton S1 is my favorite bat of all time. Swung it all throughout high school.
You guys should do the now illegal Easton MAKO little league bats from the 2013-2015 years. I believe they’re drop 11. The old XL1 from those times were crazy juiced as well
Need to do an updated video on this again! Love the content keep it up!
15 year old son swings 32/29 Voodoo One, has both 2021/2022, and sometimes 33/30 Bonesaber, but just picked up the Limited Edition The Goods 33/30, and he hits bombs with The Goods. He hasnt used it in game yet, but hope to see him use it tomorrow night.
Now we got a Bat Madness idea get the best bats of all the year in one tournament this video just showed that some of the old are better then today’s bat
Loved the S3 back in the day. Smoked 3 home runs in a game with it in 2012
You guys should try to do this at an mlb stadium
My son plays 16U ball here in the Midwest. The squad has played 25 games. I've seen a handful of absolute in-game tanks + bat flips. All have been with the Meta ...
Just like the newer composites you have the break in the old ones.

I’m going to game the bonesaber for my hs freshman year. Just got it for $200 brand new
Love your videos guys!
Yo will been watching for a while… love u man
6:50 you got that cf slicing to right extra backspin on at that backyard shot. Nice!
Picked up a 2018 voodoo one piece for 100 bucks on sideline swap. Kiddo has swung it well.
The old 2015 Rawlings Velo is so slept on
The Easton xL3 the yellow one with Easton spelled out in the back was one of the best bats of all time and I liked the 917 the best those were two bats I swung growing up
I game the XL3 now as a high schooler who swung the LL model of these old eastons.
Just be careful buying used old Easton S3's they get barrel wobble quiet often
Interesting when you take in the fact that people say that composite bats go dead when really there getting hotter
Now u gotta do a review on the s1
i had the same suspicion about composite bbcor bats, i swore that the cf5 i was swinging in hs was way more juiced than the newer cf zen somebody on the team had and my bat was multiple years old and battered at that point.
I feel like the mako needs a comeback or at least put against the S1
I think what I took away from the analysis is that - (1) composite two piece - older/broken in bats will age well, up until they break. (2) two piece alloy - the new bats are solid, but you may find an older outlier. (3) one piece alloy, the newer bats are much better refined and balanced.
Need exit velo test of all these bats for sure
I still think that the 2019 Rawling Quatro Pro is the best composite bbcor bat ever
swing looks very strong cam would u consider gaming the 5150 rumor has it a 33.5 may be available late December everything else remains the same I really enjoy my 21 33 model lots of pop big sweet spot and power.
I also found 2 33 1 34 Easton fuze 360 hybrids from one of your old videos I bought all 3 new in wrapper happy to send u one if interested I like those hybrids balanced lots of pop power just rare to see anything bur 32s
I currently coach a 12u 50-70 team and a 15U team and I’m forcing most of my kids to use my S1…Best bet I ever had
Also Bat Bros, I was the kid who had the $4-500 bat every year and still…S1 is my king to this day
Do you know what the difference is between the Easton BB11S1 which is in the video and the Easton BB13S1? Is it the same bat that just looks different or does it preform different also?
@@jonahmoscato2904 BB11S1 is USSSA and lighter swing weight. BB13S1 is -3 BBCOR
@@keyboardwarrior9185 thanks
2022 3-piece 918 & Meta 2022 both are the best and the Select 718 the 3-Piece Hybrid was fun to play during my high school years
Try out the 2016 bbcor combat vigor it’s juiced and swings so light
No lie I found the 2018 voodoo one on Craigslist for 20 bucks and got it and the thing hits tanks.
I’d love to see you guys swing the 2014 Vexxum NVS!!!!!
We had an Easton rep come to my juco a couple years back and he basically told us alloy barrels come hot out of the box whereas composite barrels get hotter the more you use them
2017-19 Rawlings Velo BBCOR was a hell of a light-swinging BBCOR. Big improvement over prior Velos.
@Reid James, the 2016 Rawlings Velo is the first I had experience with. That was the blue/green. Not a bad bat. I just thought the 2017-19 upgrades were big improvements.
Make a video on the mashup-5
Glad to see the S1 make an appearance
Only few know how great that s1 truly was
Yall should do the voodoos from the first to the latest one
Happy 4th bat bros🇺🇸
I had a 918 and I gave it to my cousin who used it this season for high school and hit a tank with it dead center. It’s a really hot bat
Should’ve brought out the Voodoo Overlord. Would’ve been crazy
do a green zen vs cat 9 composite video
YESS AND THROW IN THE XL1
Kids are getting bigger and faster sooner than days of old...they have to deaden the bats to keep kids on the mound safe
i still use a prime 917 and no durability issues and is my favorite over all the newer bats other than the select power
Neon batting gloves 🧤 🔥
My oldest boy swung the S1 back in 2012 & 2013, went to college and swung a 34” S1. He put that 34” in my about to be a Sr son for legion ball, first at bat with it he hit one out. It’s all he swings now! Found a 33” on eBay for $60 so had to grab that one in case he faces some heat.
Old composite bats reign supreme, i remember the easton omen was a beast, then i swung the xl1 in both drop 8 (absolutely ridiculous) then the drop 3 bbcor, and i swear the sound that bat makes is like nothing i have ever heard, and the pop it had made even less sense.
I used to swing a bbcor vexxum and then I switched to a 2014 XL1 and then to a Mako. The good ole days of early bbcor
I swung an XL2 that broke on me (Broken handle) an S2 that broke on me as well (broken connector) and then a Paradox that I still have. All 3 were pretty dang hot though.
I have the 2018 voodoo, and its really good. Almost between the voodoo and the goods one in terms of swing weight
What’s the swing weight on the 718 compared to the select pwr. I don’t know which one to buy.
the 718 swings pretty similar to the Select Pwr I think. A little more endloaded if anything
@@baseballbatbros do you think the 718 is hotter than the 2022 select pwr?
I swing that S1 in high school still one of my favorites
Aaron Judge with the S1 back at Fresno State is just not fair!
This helped out a lot for my sons jr high bat choices.
I use the 2018 Louisville Slugger Prime 918 BBCOR
33-30
You've got to try the 2012 TPX Z1000. That bat was insane
Sounds so wild. Bat goes for over 800 bucks on ebay to this day
I think they made a video with the z1000 awhile back.
Wish you all the best, Cam good luck in college, Gus for MVP, the leader of BB thank you for all your hard work
Could you make a video on what you would say the best bbcore bat is for an affordable price
Bruh the voodoo paradox is still my gamer
I love those old bbcor bats sounds. AMSR
I’m tempted to mail you my 34/31 Easton Omen to play around with lol
is it very heavy?I bought a 34/31 demarini voodoo 1 and hoping its not too heavy for me to swing.
I got my 718 for 80 bucks at a local diamond sports gear, only used in one tournament before purchase. Best purchase of my life.
How is the weight on it. What would you compare it too.
@@anthonybeffa can’t really think of a bat that I’d compare it to. Definitely not a bat for weaker individuals. Pretty damn end loaded. If you’re a power hitter, I’d definitely recommend. Just keep in mind that the swing will feel difference due to the imbalance, but once you get that down, it’s a blast to use.
@@User69263 would you say it’s heavier than the goods
@@anthonybeffa absolutely
I liked the XL1 better than the Xl2 but it definitely wasn’t better than the S1 so I understand why it wasn’t in the composite category.
That PRIME 981 SOUNDS LIKE A WOOY WITH GOD MODE BUILT
please check out the easton b5m magnum adult baseball bat i really hope you could make a video on it
I would pay to watch Xl1 vs green zen vs cat9 comp
All of the S1’s I see on EBay are $50. Is it the right bat or do people just not know about it?
How would the old Easton S1 USSSA bat compare to more modern composite USSSA bats?
New mic?
yeah tryin some stuff out
@@baseballbatbros sounds way better tbh
That blue select is a dream bat just can find one for sale
Have you guys tried Vuk grips?
Puts lizard skin to shame
i would love for you guys to review the easton typhoon bbcor, its like 25 on ebay, i hit tanks with it
I just got my -3 2022 voodoo and it is hot 🔥🔥🔥
Bought the S1 for $30 on eBay. Light with great pop.
What would you say is better between the 2018 prime and the 2020 meta? Also, a CF7 review would be dope! I used that in middle school and brought it back sometimes during high school because I used a 32 inch throughout BBCOR days.
Would be cool for biggest barrel baseball hr derby
Try hitting with the Air Attack 2. Very hot bat.
Two of the dudes on my college team swing the Paradox and one still swings the S3
Is there a channel like this for softball bats?
Gotta get a black voodoo from like 2012 the one with the skull on it
If y'all can find a "Rip-It Prototype II" bbcor from 2012 y'all need to hit with it. That bat worked so freakin well for me.
Where’s the fast pitch softball love?
Really appreciate your reviews! Keep it up.
U guys ever hit with this bat from my heyday. they outlawed it. The Easton titanium i think it was called.
14:46 My high school self searching up what prominent is😂
Gus with the crazy smooth swing
