I'm 42, so I'm old.. but when I was in highschool and college Easton was what literally 99% of what everyone played, and was along with Louisville the only two options there were, Demarini and Miken made softball bats but that's it, and even in softball it was mostly Easton people used.. also, while I remember playing with a Louisville just cause my sophomore year when I began starting varsity my mom took me to pick a bat of my own out for the first time, and I got the black and green Louisville tps, and I was the only person I knew who had one, literally every other person on my team and every team I played against used an Easton Reflex C Core, until my junior year when redlines came out and you'd see a mix of reflex's and redlines.. and while Easton released a bat every couple years, Louisville went years without releasing new ones... Also, when either released a bat it was always a single version, that was it. I wish there were more options, I mean clearly they were hot, but if you didn't like the balance or weighting of what Easton put out, you had to use it regardless.. it's awesome how many options kids have today.
Back then, if you wanted a heavier bat, you tap the endcap with a small drill and fill with resin and steel shot. Bat checking was kinda under the radar
My son swung the 32 inch Maxum Ultra throughout his junior and senior year of high school and in both 2021 and 2022 summer and fall travel showcases. The bat was pretty hot and he swung the bat really well - it was his favorite bat. We recently picked up a 33 inch Icon and five games into this year’s 2023 collegiate summer season my son is smoking the ball. Last week he led off a game and crushed a ball with the new Icon nearly 430 feet. The Maxum Ultra was very durable over the 2 seasons of use - I’m hoping the Icon holds up just as well. Appreciate your videos…..
Something that would be cool for this sort of channel. The English longbow is made of yew wood because it has a springiness that allows it to flex under tension and impart more energy onto the arrow without breaking. This weapon made the English a world power for centuries. This property of yew seems like it could be great for a baseball bat. I imagine a yew bat flexing some when you hit a baseball, causing it to gain extra exit velocity but still having the durability of a harder wood. Palm trees have a similar property that allows them to flex under the force of hurricane winds, so maybe palm wood would have the same effect. Get a craftsman to make a bat out of yew and/or palm and compare it to ash and maple bats off the shelf as a video?
My gamer is the alpha and it’s a solid contact bat but it’s also really hot and balanced I haven’t hit a tank with it yet but I know Will Taylor will 4 Sure
Hey Will and @baseballbatbros Any updates on the Wood Bat Madness 2.0 Championship? I haven't been able to find that video yet... was looking to see where the Rawlings Big Stick Elite 243 ended up!
After watching the Virginia super regional today please do a review of the different Rawlings bats cause UVA was swinging something other than the Icon and was bashing.
Was it a red bat? Been seeing a lot of Rawlings collegiate teams swinging the new 5150 BBCOR, which is red. Curious how the new red model differs from the old black version.
@John Valentine I'm pretty sure your right and it was the 5150 but one guy had a mint colored bat and someone said it was a Mach 1! Something new apparently
How about comparing the old 2015/16 original Combat Maxum to the newer Combat/Maxum XXL to see if they really are the same or if the newer Easton versions are better than the original?
Will, can you do a video on the Easton Stealth?? I have one from 2005/2006 it’s basically mint. I used it in high school jr and sr year. But still fantastic shape. Just curious your thoughts and review
And i like these videos i watch all of your review bbcors and wood bags cause i play college baseball my self, i swung all these bats in bat day and my team thought the same
Encore is underrated just got one and honestly like it better than my goods even tho the encore was just supposed to be a bp bat since they were so cheap and similar to the goods
I'm seeing the same thing. Picked up an Encore BBCOR for $77 on ebay brand new as a backup bat. But... my son is killing the ball with it. He's a D3 college player. Another thing to consider -- the alloy barrel is lined with a composite material. Does that mean it gets hotter after you break it in? If so, this thing is going to be absolute fire by spring.
Hey bat bros wondering how similar the maxum ultra is to the select pwr? I got the select before it was super popular at $150 and the maxum ultra is way cheaper so I want to know how viable an option the maxum ultra is if I want to go up an inch in length. Would there be a noticeable drop in quality or performance? Thanks
hello I am a freshman in high school and trying to figure out what bat is the best for the money I know everyone likes the cat x but I'm looking for something else what's the best in your opinion.
If anyone can help, I’m looking at a used 2022 and 2023 voodoo one. Is there any major difference between the two such as swing weight or pop maybe, I have liked using the 2023 before in the past
Hey Will love the videos man 🔥 I would like for you to do a bat review on the Red Nike Aero Fuse bat. It got discontinued because it was too hot of a bat. I used it In college and high school. I just want to see your review on it
Great format for this one! I like that you reviewed each bat to showcase the differences. I'd like to see a Demarini lineup video, a Marucci/Victus lineup, a Warstic, louisville, rawlings. All the brands that offer a wide variety. Do exactly what you did here. Describe each one, demo, rank them. You could even lump all the smaller brands together in their own video (stinger, moab, akadema, etc).
Will, you brought up the cheaper maxum ultra but the store pic makes it look like it has the bad knob on it that all the other bats had, so if the maxum yall swung in the video had the same knob as all the others do you still think it would've won?
Also does your homie from Oregon state swing a 34 in these videos or a 33 cause i’m more his size so ie nate to gauge how he hits balls knowing that info
@@baseballbatbros I thought they did but I was more into the slowpitch side of equipment after college. I do miss the slowpitch bat bros. Ever gonna bring them back? That Chad cat could rake!
We've got Bat Bro Scales for each bat at the end of the video, and updated BBCOR rankings at baseballbatbros.com/
can you do a review on the easton ghost x uSSSa composite-5 please

The ALX bangs imo, I think there’s just a ton of other bats that do a similar job. But it’s a great bat if u like a one piece bat with more weight
You should try the longest homerun challenge with the Easton Hype fire coming out! Keep hitting nukes ⚾
Edit: thanks for likes ❤️
U know it’s out right
It is?!
@@monkeymoneyay yep
@@monkeymoneyay pretty solid
@@Ohrejitas breaks in 8 swings lmao

You should get all the old CF’s and see witch one breaks first and last. Since my CF broke on me mid game. Keep up the good work!
You guys should do another bbcor bat maddness. Those are some of the best videos in my opinion.
Love these vids you guys helped me decide what bat to get.THANKS
Man… the Maxum sounds incredible!
I agree😃
Could you compare the 1 piece composite maxum and the combat b2 by any chance?
The price drop on these is killer, makes it hard to justify much else if you're shopping for a kid.
My 14 year old liked swinging the XL2 from 2011. He went from the missle 2 to that bat and hit way better with it. Never went back to the missle 2.
Pls do a matchup with Hype Fire, Cat 9 comp, And the Green Zen.
Im 45 in high school i used Power cell, great bat!!
You should compare the 2022 and 2023 hypes. Not sure which one to get. Keep it up fellas!!
They should that would be a banger
You should review the Rawlings 5150
I love y’all’s videos keep hitting swamp donkeys👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥
Are last years and this years select pwr the same but with a fresh paint job
i need you to do the easton alx vs 2023 alx vs cat 9 composite. i need help with choosing a bat for highschool
I’m running the combat in game and have been dunking on baseballs. Def recommend

I think u should do a Warstic Gunner vs Bonesaber Hybrid video or a 2022 Easton Adv Hype vs 2023 Easton Hype Composite video.
You should try the new rawling 5150 been seeing some of it in college baseball
So, what are your feelings on the B5 now that it's $100 or less? Specifically for a big power guy looking for endload.
I managed to get my hands on a wrapper-spec 2019 ADV Projekt 3 and it is LIGHTYEARS better than any of the new Easton I’ve swung.
And i like these videos i watch all of your review bbcors and wood bags cause i play college baseball my self, i swung all these bats in bat day and my team thought the same
Will y'all be checking out the new bonesaber composite?
I'll still be gaming the 2020 Maxum 360 all day over these new releases. It's literally a durable composite voodoo one
Personally I love the soft knobs from Easton
Encore is underrated just got one and honestly like it better than my goods even tho the encore was just supposed to be a bp bat since they were so cheap and similar to the goods
I'm seeing the same thing. Picked up an Encore BBCOR for $77 on ebay brand new as a backup bat. But... my son is killing the ball with it. He's a D3 college player.

Southern Miss 3B Lynch hits tanks with the Maxum, has a unique pre-pitch routine
Is the new ALX the same as the old ones? I loved the old one but I broke the end cap.

Have you compared the black and red cat 9 composite and cat x composite?
Can y’all please do a video where y’all put all of the maxums up against eachother I want to get one but not sure which one to get
Can you please do a video on dirty south USSSA bats please. Like the swag seven etc
hello I am a freshman in high school and trying to figure out what bat is the best for the money I know everyone likes the cat x but I'm looking for something else what's the best in your opinion.

Love the videos! The Hype is FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 tho! 😅
Hey Will love the videos man 🔥 I would like for you to do a bat review on the Red Nike Aero Fuse bat. It got discontinued because it was too hot of a bat. I used it In college and high school. I just want to see your review on it
You should do a maxum vs combat exit velo test to see if it’s actually a repaint, along with any other bats you think are repaints
We’ve got it confirmed that it’s indeed a repaint 💯
Y’all should do a video on the warstic warhawk3
Can y’all review cam wood bats vs Baum or old hickory
Got my alpha alx for 80$ honestly a really good bat for that price lol i love it
we gotta see a review of the Nike bbcor line those bats were crazy hot and not talked about enough imo!!
Wanted to ask if the maxum 2023 is the same at the maxum 2021?? Is there any difference?
I just picked up a Combat for $30 at a used sports store the other day for my kid.
Should do a video of best Easton bbcor of all time. Compare new to the old greats
Great format for this one! I like that you reviewed each bat to showcase the differences. I'd like to see a Demarini lineup video, a Marucci/Victus lineup, a Warstic, louisville, rawlings.

Can you do a vid on the cat connect
Swing Shohei’s exact bat model and size 34.5 so17.4
is the 2022 maxum the same as the one used in the video?
Make a vid using the 2016 combat vigor bbcor if you could get your hands on one, best bbcor I’ve ever swung
My son put a few over the fence with the old Combat Vigor. Great bat.
I have the Hype comp, and i can say when u first start breaking it in it is extremely loud
Y'all should do a video on who can hit a golf ball the farthest with one of the bbcor bats.
Try the new Rawlings 5150
Any plans on posting more slowpitch stuff or is that channel in a holding pattern for the foreseeable future
miss you guys on the slow pitch channel should really come back
Will, you brought up the cheaper maxum ultra but the store pic makes it look like it has the bad knob on it that all the other bats had, so if the maxum yall swung in the video had the same knob as all the others do you still think it would've won?
Every Maxum has as regular knob on it
One piece composites sound and perform so good
Time to get your hands on the 2024 Easton Hype Fire!
i swing the maxum xxl and it is fire
Where does your friend play that hit tanks?
Love to see a Bat bros and coach rac collab
You should do the cat 9 comp vs the hype fire
Go to fromhold field. Back fence is a cliff into the ocean. Hit one in the water. 500ft
Smell it Will!! Haha, how are you bro. What's the word on the 24 voodoo?
Yo bat bro i hit easton hype fire I hit with in my tournament today🔥🔥🔥
Plz review the 2007 demarini voodoo
Love testing new bats
Love the vids❤
Coachrac collab would be dope
Can you try the white prime 919
Hi love you’re vids you’ve inspired me to get so many bats 😂
you should go to fromhold field in San Pedro CA. i know its far but hitting a bomb into the water there would be sick
Personally some of the best bats of the year
How do you guys hit the balls so high and so far like do you drop your shoulder like dang
Also does your homie from Oregon state swing a 34 in these videos or a 33 cause i’m more his size so ie nate to gauge how he hits balls knowing that info
33” for most
where domi find these bats on such a big sale
We want more we want more. Let's go Bat Bros
Pls collab with Coach Rac
I'd bet that the Maxum uses Combat technology since Combat had a slowpitch line called Maxum before they were merged into Easton.
Combat made baseball bats called the Maxum as well haha that’s basically what this Maxum Ultra is
@@baseballbatbros I thought they did but I was more into the slowpitch side of equipment after college. I do miss the slowpitch bat bros. Ever gonna bring them back? That Chad cat could rake!
Rather buy a black magic or b5 just for looks😂 instead of the alx
Do you think this years alx better than last years
Ignoring durability and price just straight up a better bat are you picking the goods or the warstic bonesaber hybrid
personally I would game a Bonesaber Hybrid over The Goods
All companies would automatically be better with half sizes
Bring back the Softball Bat Bros
Encore is the best
the softball channel needs u
Hit with the atlas tee ball bat
Do the USA the goods next please
the Alpha is so damn loud, i should use ear protectors when swinging that. it's almost louder than the 5150
Love the vid
Also I ment hype fire vs catx
I also think Easton grip is too think. Regular lizard skin or vuk grip bang
