    Love your channel. I'm old. It cracks me up that you guys think a bat hurting on a miss hit is a big deal. That was every bat when I played. Every bat was basically the vapor. All the bats we used are illegal now. I used a -5 until I was a senior and they switched ot to -3. Wild times. I wish we had bats like this when I was playing. They seem so awesome. When the Omaha came out we thought it was gods gift to baseball.

Normally used Easton Connection and then the Easton Synergy, when the connection broke, from high school ball and rec league. swung 34/31

    @johnaalders3169 3 года назад

    Pretty sure the select power and the metas are three-piece bats. Here's what the website says. Dominance is IN R DNA. The 2021 Select PWR (-3) helps you deliver with an EXD Alloy barrel that's a half-inch longer than most traditional BBCOR bats. It showcases a massive, yet incredibly responsive sweet spot in a three-piece design that gives players a stiffer feel on contact. The 3FX-PWR™ Connection System with a VTX ring allows for more efficient energy transfer and an improved feel and the PWR End Cap helps you turn momentum into power on every swing

    Have you guys thought of testing the Adidas Aeroburner one-piece? I know you guys liked the comp and hybrid so it would be cool to see the one-piece

    could you do the same thing with the Rawlings bats? I would love to see my baby the rawlings threat BBCOR in a video sometime. It packs a suprising punch

    I have one of the meta bb cores and you have to hit about 70-100 pitches to break it in and when it’s broke in it gives a bounce to the ball

    My favourite bat is always the second cheapest bat in the range. It’s a bat that says I’m committed enough to the game to spend money on my gear but I still have money to spend on beer.

    I'd like to know how many swings players take these days, compared to the 1980s back when they had the old Worth bats, then the Eastons, then into the 90s and so on - all this talk about comfort. When I played, we never talked about that. If you hit it poorly, you got stung and that's just the price you paid for a bad swing. It didn't make us practice less though. So, why not just go with the Vapor from the start and make yourself into a better hitter and save that cash for a better glove etc. Quality makes the most impact in your glove, IMO. Function way better and last much longer. If you're a good hitter, it doesn't matter what bat you bring to the plate - you are going to rake. If you can find one of the old Worth bats, please do a video. Those things were hideous. So glad I never had to use stuff from that era.
