Note: This -6 seems to be entirely new construction for Dirty South - we've swung both the -5 and the -8 versions of the "Swag" bat, and this -6 version is a different animal.
My son (12u 138 lbs, 6’) has been swinging this since late December. Had a Catx Composite -5, sized up 1” - the DSB has a great feel, huge barrel. Absolutely rakes.
Great video! Dirty South makes a great bat. Been thinking about this -6 for my 11 year old that’s planning to swing a 31/26 Hype fire in non PG games. He thought the 31/23 Icon swung too light. If you play USA bat rules, you can’t beat the DSB MADE.
I have a feeling we'll be seeing this bat quite a bit this year in videos. I didn't see this one coming at all. It's crazy seeing how bats are now. I remember starting with a black Easton, then into a blue Copperhead (-12 or something), and when I was 12, I was into a 30/27 -3 with a beat-up TPX Air Attack that was already five or so years old, but for Cal Ripken tourneys for states, we had to go back to -5s (maybe 8?). We'd play a team from a neighboring county that was sponsored by TPX and was always jealous of their Exo Grids.
Purchased the Swag -6 this past Fall for my 12 year old. It’s a beast. The ball just flies off the barrel. They have a demo program where you can try it out for a couple of weeks before committing. Just have to pay shipping.
Whens the USSSA showdown? My 10yr boy is dying to see you review the new '25 Bonesaber Composite. Hes loven it in the cages, sounds similar to the Icon but, hes WARSTIC for life!
The -8 bonesaber composite is very light swinging and competes very close with the heavier Icon. Much easier and is the only bat in -10 and -8 to go toe to toe. My two best hitters are in Bonesabers composites. The Orange and white Metas are great as well, but they have a long break in. But you can find them cheap.
@@baseballbatbros I can't find it anywhere either, but I did speak to their customer service today and they confirmed it will be a new colorway, released in much greater quantities than Sandstorm and Mint, and should be dropping pretty much any day now. Also, new Icon in "Electric Unicorn" dropping on the 29th!
@@CheyenneFree850 obviously? I’m just saying the colorway of the new cookies and cream is very similar to the sandstorm I’m not talking about performance bc they’re all repaints
I swung this bat unreleased and I commented about how good it is. The drop 10/8 is the second best bat of that type and they hadn’t made the drop 5 I don’t think, but I genuinely considered buying it because it’s also cheaper than it other brands, the sweet spot is a little crappy but it’s VERY hot
Yeah but scale weight is a huge misrepresentation of swing weight. Balance point / weight distribution plays much more of a role than scale weight. That said, the DSB -6 weighed out pretty true.
I thought those two bats on the ground was a cricket wicket for a split second. you should try taking some g hacks with a cricket bat someday on a video. I feel like I could get a dinger with one if I had a few hacks.
I’ve watched enough bat bros to know, and experience myslef. If your a big power hitter who will break bats go with a like 30 or 31 drop 10 X 2 comp, but if your a power hitter in general go with hype fire. If it makes sense and if you are a contact hitter go with a lighter X 2, since marrucci are balanced.
I honestly think, at least for 11U and 12U, we'll probably see a switch to the USA Bat standard sooner rather than later. USSSA is just way too hot, and most 11-12 year olds probably aren't comfortable swinging a -3. I think a switch to USA will happen by the start of the 2025 summer season
Why was drop five ever allowed at 12U? We're in GA and you could only hit drop 8 in 12U, my son hit 12 bombs with a Cat 9 connect. Drop five should be 13U only.
Dumb question...why are drop 5s hotter than drop 8s? You'd think drop 8 would be hotter since it's lighter and swing speeds are higher. Drop 5s thinner walls???
That's kind of always been the case. I think that there is just enough material in a -5 to make it both durable AND super hot. If you try to make a -8 or -10 too hot, they'll just break... so they need to be reinforced moreso than a -5.
@baseballbatbros thanks brother for the reply. Btw...you gotta come out with some hats! The new Era is nowhere to be found. Find a good company and partner with Richardson. That's the best hats in baseball!
Weigh bats as part of your testing - these things are usually not even close to list weights - chances are the DS 32 weighs 27 even though its 'drop 6'.

Wow
Where can you purchase this?

The Made USA has amazing pop but a small/ short barrel. If the MADE had a barrel as long as that drop 6 in this video that would be sweet.

Finally you did a dirty south bat.
USSSA showdown should include the new DSB "the show" drop 5. Absolute tank of a bat

The warstic Bonesaber composite won’t be featured since the drop 5 won’t release until 2025 august

Never heard of a drop 6baseball bat
What a great resource for baseball bat knowledge
Can you compare the drop 5 to drop 6?
The new combat bbcor looks crazy🔥🔥🔥
where did you see it?!!?

@@blendtecbrah5761it’s not bad very reminiscent of sandstorm I had a guy show me the slowpitch bat

You need to try the luisville slugger tpx laser drop 7 from Like 1995. Absolute beast!
Dirty South bat is looking good. I’d like to see a full review on the regular channel.
I love that will posts sooooooo much he is so cooooooooool
Wanna see a 32 drop 10 be introduced
I just realized this isn’t on the actual baseball bat bros channel. W video tho

Not everyone can hit a baseball well. That's why we needed Drop 4+ bats. It's like using an extra long glove in the outfield, or crutches.
Will do you actually weigh the bats? I am finding as much as over an oz light or heavy vs advertised drop weight
Yeah but scale weight is a huge misrepresentation of swing weight. Balance point / weight distribution plays much more of a role than scale weight. That said, the DSB -6 weighed out pretty true.
Ive said it before, how do you get custom franklin infinite series bg's???
yeahhh we got kinda spoiled with these ones lol. They're SF Giants customs
@@baseballbatbros cool!
That drop 6 has that wet paper bag sound of a shaved and very broken it composite bat.
Where can you find/purchase the drop 6?
Please swing and review the bonesaber composite
Crazy
I love dirty siuth
Omega review soon?
You guys need to review the usssa bonesaber composite -8
It’s supposed to give the icon a run
Bro what are these bats
Annnnnnnd -6 ban coming right up 😂😂
makes you wonder where that sweetspot is for batspeed and mass needed to drive ball
Can someone tell me if the og -5 hype fire is still banned?
I thought those two bats on the ground was a cricket wicket for a split second. you should try taking some g hacks with a cricket bat someday on a video. I feel like I could get a dinger with one if I had a few hacks.
Please try the dirty south swag drop 8 and you should try the show drop 8
I’m 10 Should I get a drop 10 hype or drop 10 marruchi cat x 2 compost

ok
Sneaky sneaky
Make half sizes and they will clean up... 29.5/23.5 would be cool

I think that would probably be best. Especially 11/12/13u. USA bats have gotten a lot better than when they first came out in 2018
@@baseballbatbros I also think every age at like 16-17U we could see a switch to just straight up wood bats, at least with PG
I know my son is 12 and middle school ball for school already requires BBCOR so he just uses his bbcor for everything LoL
Bro this is like making a joke to avoid what the teacher sadi
-6 new meta?
Good idea. Would it be like the -5bonky, the 2023 green, or the 2024 aka -8 or 10
Omega
Sounds like a Baum bat
Won't PG just come back and restrict 12u to -8 or lighter?
bruh at 12 i was swinging a 33/30 lol i was 5`7 like 200 or so and could bench 160 but still it was prob too heavy but it is what it is
I was 5’2 125 and swung a 31/21 lol
USSSA bats should be for home run derby's only. make all youth kids swing USA bats
Why was drop five ever allowed at 12U? We're in GA and you could only hit drop 8 in 12U, my son hit 12 bombs with a Cat 9 connect. Drop five should be 13U only.

it weighs 26.2 oz
Not me js turning 13
Make everyone swing wood bats
Then they would say it’s dangerous if one comes apart and goes flying at some kids.
that would probably lead to a bunch of kids quitting baseball early because the bats sting their hands too much lol
32 inch 26 ounces my 13 year old swings a 34-30.
They just released "The show" claims its better than the swag s9
I don’t think it is
Have y’all hit DSB’s the show against the S9?
Yo will
Hi
Now this will be banned lol
