Thank you for making my son’s night last night at MLB derby. Having his 5 star hat autographed he can always look at it in the field to boost his confidence! Thanks for being so kind!
I’m not a huge sports fan. I don’t watch baseball or anything adjacent to baseball. There’s something universally appealing about your videos. I think it’s the audio.
My son has had a couple weeks with the 2025 Clout ai and his hitting has been quite a bit better. He said it’s much easier to swing than his old bbcor bat (2023 Easton Alpha ALX). He’s a small kid too so that counts for a lot. (5’3” 130lbs swinging the 32/29)
@@benleasure8502 that’s will he’s different for a high schooler or an 8th grader sweetspot matters so much and the clout dosent have much sweetspot from much experience
@@cookingwLukas I swing the 2024 clout so I’m biased but it has solid sweet spot and feels pretty similar to the atlas I just think he should do a comparison video since they’re the highest ranked one pieces
If you can get permission, I think it would be great to have someone filming from the roof of the building all those balls land on. An interesting short would be a video tour showing all the balls on the roof. Have any homeruns damaged cars there?
Can't wait to hear if the Mach Ai has any improvements. Son loves that bat even though it has a small sweet spot. I have to build up the grip a ton however. Was the handle larger on the 2025 clout?
Looks like it was considerably cooler when you did velo testing on the previous one after they fixed the durability issue. If so, I definitely see it being a big enough difference in air density to cause a 1-3 mph dip.
The point I was trying to make is that our first Icon's typically had noticeable exit velo separation from the other tops bats. Whereas the more recent Icons fell in line with the rest of the BBCOR market.
@@baseballbatbrosno doubt! A point well made, sir. It was just a thought about the possible driving differentials between velo tests. Outstanding video as always, my man! 👊
@TheBaseballBatBros - have you considered possibly adding a durability and a "bang for your buck" category to your current ranking system for each bat? This would eliminate a lot of the grouping near the top of the list ( i.e. - less 23/30s, more spread out over 50 total points - with categories: swing weight, power, sweet spot, durability, bang for your buck)
Will-given the Atlas’s durability issues with more and more models snapping towards the hands, how close is the Clout to being the #1 BBCOR? Considering price, performance, size of the barrel, I recommend the Clout to all of my hitters. Rawlings is killing it currently. Great review!
I definitely think it juiced the distance on that one ball. You had two others at 106 and 107 at close launch angles that only went about 420(blaze it) and I can't see better backspin adding like 60ft. Still a tank though, I think you hit one when you first broke out the blue atlas that visually looked like it went further. All in all spending 500 on a bat is madness, go clout
Just picked up a new 2022 Icon for $200! The thing smokes and sounds awesome, comparing to The Goods and Select Pwr which we also have. We are never going to consider a one piece bat, NEVER. Sweet spots, miss hits and no ringing the hands are always better on the two piece sticks.
Found the icon heavier than the maximum ultra. Icon came off a little hotter I believe due to weight. Was told it was the same technology. More control with ultra. May be because I prefer a single piece. Just feel like the ultra is slept on. Surprised that Easton/Rawlings stopped making it. Also, the ultra going for as low as $200 new.
@baseballbatbros thanks will, I swung my friends 34" icon, and I hit a ball like 380 in our fall league, and it felt better than my icon, which is a 33". But maybe I'm just crazy
I know a lot of people have a different experience with the icon, but for me, swinging the icon feels basically the same as swinging the atlas, but with a bigger sweet spot. I’ve also swans the clout and would have to say it’s a touch heavier. I know a lot of people don’t feel the same, but I know a lot more people that feel the way I do about it. I’m very sure it’s a preference thing, but I just wanted to address how I feel about the Rawlings marketing thing.
Hello again we had that Bat in ussa Version my son Smoked the ball in travel ball. So my Question what is the best. Usa Version Icon -5 usa vs Bone saber -5 usa. Have you versed them together???? Thank you.
The clout in my opinion should get an extra spot or two on sweet spot! Some of those you were hitting even off the end were flying! Also, the Icon was at one point your number one overall bat on the bat bro's scale.
Would love your opinion on advice I received recently from a professional hitting coach: He said the once piece alloy bats, while lighter swinging because of their MOI, may be detrimental for younger smaller BBCOR hitters (13-14 yrs old) because they don't swing fast enough to flex the bat. He suggested a two piece composite that is not overly end loaded. In your opinion what is the best two piece option that swings on the lighter side?
For the 2025 travel ball season we have purchased the new Icon -8. For my sons 2025 Little League season I want to get him the Clout AI. However, it needs to be USA certified and from my understanding the Clout AI is only going to be offered in -10. Should I look for an alternative USA bat in a -8, such as the 2025 Hype Fire? Would having a -8 travel ball bat and a -10 Little League bat mess up his swing by consistently switching back and forth between two differently weighted bats?
That time a Rawlings icon review turned into a Rawlings Clout AI review.
That sounds beautiful they sound like composite usssa travel bats
I’m gonna upgrade my Clout now… holy moly Rawlings.
The Clout Ai is crazy good for $250.
I got my 2024 Clout in n Amazon for $200 when they were sold out everywhere. That thing is amazing
I bought the Clout bc of this vid bro, I love it 😎
Thank you for making my son’s night last night at MLB derby. Having his 5 star hat autographed he can always look at it in the field to boost his confidence! Thanks for being so kind!
Do top 5 bbcore bat showdown. This is what the people want. Or at least just me
I 2nd this remark.
Answer. Atlas, Bonesaber hybrid and Clout. All cheaper and with the same numbers
ATLAS ON TOP
I second that motion with a kid entering highschool
You should get pinned
You were on an absolute heater for this recording lol. Nothing but barrel.
You are not lying. Bro was out there making hitting 400+ ft bombs look easy.
Sounds closer to a wood bat than an aluminum one, I like that.
Composite
Dude u are crazy
😂
it’s called conposite
@@cookingwLukasnu uh
@@VixtoryICE 😂
The sound of the ICON is Perfect. That is the sound that all non wood bats should have.
The 2020 blue meta sounds better imp
@@IvanByle Too much ping. I prefer bats that sound like wood rather than metal
The way your swing has tightened up and has become smooth as butter is unreal. Straight nuking balls all day long now. Great job!!!
Clout is the best bang for your buck honestly, and an easy bat to transition away from metal to wood. Bulletproof reliable.
Love to see Rawlings back in the mix!
I’m not a huge sports fan. I don’t watch baseball or anything adjacent to baseball. There’s something universally appealing about your videos. I think it’s the audio.
Clout vs Atlas showdown coming up 👀
I always get pumped when i see a new bat bros video, especially with a new bat
dude i love it when the balls just disappear into the sky, it makes it look like they just got sent to the moon
Select pwr next
You know when there is three intro hits then the bat is going to be fire!
Nobody seems to acknowledge the hitting ability of this gentleman. This is professional level hitting!
The best thing about the Icon is that it’s a composite so it doesn’t kill people’s ears
Even looks like a wood bat too

My son is smaller than yours and finds the Clout easy to swing. He seems to be able to catch up to the ball easier, especially on the inside corner
One of my favorite bats i used in high school besides the original white exo grid was the black and orange nike torque. Loved those bats.
For some reason this video is only on the website and not on the channel
No im watching on the channel
@@Parker_Playz11 when it was first posted dummy
@@Parker_Playz11same
we had it up as a private video on the website overnight haha
I think this is the first bat/set of bats that didn't drop under 100. Glad to see Rawlings staying on top.
hey nice jersey will! my brother is playing baseball this year at oregon state as a pitcher❤❤
Cams laugh when you hit a tank lol
It looks awesome, I'm a big fan of the bat bros
Damn what a bat!❤love your hard work man! Keep it up!😊❤
Sounds good to me if ur in the gang🫵👇
We need to see Atlas vs Clout
atlas would win easy
@@cookingwLukas he just hit 111 and a distance pr tho

Wearing a foot ball jersey while playing baseball is crazy 😂 I’m just playing I love you bat bros ❤
BP GOAT 🐐. Just Back to Back to Back to Back 400 footers. 🤘😎
Since I live about an 40 mins to an hour away from my nearest batting cages, I sync along with Will's video to practice my timing.
Can't wait to hear if the Mach Ai has any improvements. Son loves that bat even though it has a small sweet spot. I have to build up the grip a ton however. Was the handle larger on the 2025 clout?

durability already effects the rankings (if you look at the goods) and bang for your buck he talks about often
I love the rawlings icon. Its too OP of a bat❤❤❤
The sounds for a metal bat is amazing.
You should get a blast motion sensor to compare how hard you are swinging the bats
You forgot to factor in the $250 you have to spend on hearing protection for everyone when you use the Clout, so they're really about the same price
When will you review the Warstic Bonesaber composite Usssa?
Will-given the Atlas’s durability issues with more and more models snapping towards the hands, how close is the Clout to being the #1 BBCOR? Considering price, performance, size of the barrel, I recommend the Clout to all of my hitters. Rawlings is killing it currently. Great review!
Will bro. It’s been 6 days since ur last upload. Please drop the select power video 🙏
Will can u post ur usssa rankings on ur website
Been awhile since we've seen you swing the Bonesaber Hybrid. Gonna need a comparison video soon.
Swing the Jackson Holliday Old Hickory
Is there a difference between the 2024 clout and the 25? Is it worth buying the 25 if I’m currently swinging the 24?
I definitely think it juiced the distance on that one ball. You had two others at 106 and 107 at close launch angles that only went about 420(blaze it) and I can't see better backspin adding like 60ft.

agreed
So far the only thing I’ve swung is the 2025 icon and I really liked it. But I’ll have to swing the Clout to make up my mind
atlas is better than the clout
My son prefers the Clout because it does have a little bit more swing weight and a larger sweet spot
@@raymondsnow7745 no way it has more sweet spot
You inspired me to start my own channel!!
Homerun with this one! Great video, hits hard. Really pops'

Will im just thanming you for being a great youtuber you just make me want to go and hit,and break some PR's so thank you 👍
Hey you are really good RUclipsr and I love ur videos
Will was absolutely racking today
Any difference between the the last Clout AI and the new Clout AI ????? Really appreciate you guys!
The crack of the ball off the Icon sounds 🤯 amazing. The Atlas might have to watch out with the Clout Ai performance and being around $50 cheaper
The Easton Z core was the holy grail when I was playing ball 😂
You should list barrel diameter for usssa bats.. weight feels vastly different on the icon when it comes to barrel diameter
Great bat. Need to review the Marucci Code.
Do the green Zen versus the hype fire
Yessir, I love ur vids. The icon is my favorite bat I’ve used, better than the hype fire.
The Bbcore is the best
ill pay the extra money for the sound quality
So the Icon is basically the same as last year as far as results right? We just got the older model for 299.
Can you do a video about players moving down in drop weight. Ie.. U trip players going -10 to - 8? When do they move to the heavier bats? Thanks
i was watching the guy flinch everytime you hit it lol
Found the icon heavier than the maximum ultra. Icon came off a little hotter I believe due to weight. Was told it was the same technology. More control with ultra. May be because I prefer a single piece. Just feel like the ultra is slept on. Surprised that Easton/Rawlings stopped making it. Also, the ultra going for as low as $200 new.
Can you show a barrel ring test on the clout ai vs the Omaha or select power
Are you using a 33/30? Or or a 33.5? On the icon bat
Could the new icon be more reminiscent of the phase 1 icon from last year, compared to the glowstick/phase 2?
Anybody else notice the roofer flags on the roof of the building? Wonder why they need a new roof....
Any change to the 25 Clout vs the 24 Clout?
Hey Will, do you off camera swing the 34" version of each bat and notice a difference?
Not very often. 34" is one of the least popular sizes in BBCOR and is mostly reserved for college guys. We primarily swing 33" and 32".
@baseballbatbros thanks will, I swung my friends 34" icon, and I hit a ball like 380 in our fall league, and it felt better than my icon, which is a 33". But maybe I'm just crazy
34 Icon is gas
Need to post clout vs atlas
atlas solos
@@cookingwLukasno way he just hit 111 and a distance pr. Plus the sweet spot on the clout is crazy
@@vincentgresko692 have you swung both…
Yes actually. I personally like the clout better

do the budget bbcor easton tango and maurcci code
I think you sold a lot of Rawlings Clout AIs today
Are we gonna talk about the drip will has?? 🔥😮💨
do you know anyone who has any of those early 2023 release icons, the ones you said were a little more juiced? looking for one in a 34
How long does it take you to pick up and find the baseballs?
Is the new reflex extended any good?
Appreciate the honesty
Hello again we had that Bat in ussa Version my son Smoked the ball in travel ball. So my Question what is the best. Usa Version Icon -5 usa vs Bone saber -5 usa. Have you versed them together???? Thank you.

Wanted to see a review of the latest Select Power
this looks sick that bat is crazy
Would love your opinion on advice I received recently from a professional hitting coach:
He said the once piece alloy bats, while lighter swinging because of their MOI, may be detrimental for younger smaller BBCOR hitters (13-14 yrs old) because they don't swing fast enough to flex the bat. He suggested a two piece composite that is not overly end loaded. In your opinion what is the best two piece option that swings on the lighter side?
Flex is simply a feel thing - it doesn’t affect the performance of the actual hit.
Do the new power select next.
Not a Beavers fan but that jersey is SICK
Can u do a 2025 drop 5 showdown please
I hope you know you decide which bat i get every year
When can we get a SOFTBALL BAT video for fun!! With softballs coming outta the pitching machine! 🤙
Which one would you use in a game and which one will you use in BP
What comes in the #1 spot. I just bought my son the 25 Atlas drop 3 and he seems to love it.
Wish you were in the HR derby with Canseco! that would of been fire! your young age would of beat them.

We need a Baseball Bat Bros/Slo Mo Guys crossover so we can watch y’all absolutely compress balls at 2000000 frames per second FOR THE PEOPLE
So Will, out of the 2025 Clout and the 2025 Atlas. Which would you lean towards?
