- Today the Baseball Bat Bros test out how different bat sizes affect exit velo results - so we've got a 32/29, a 32.5/29.5, a 33/30, and a 33.5/30.5 of the same BBCOR bat.
Check out all of our top BBCOR, USSSA, and Wood bat ratings at baseballbatbro...
The bat we used in this video was the True Temper HZRDUS:

But a few other bats that offer half sizes in BBCOR are:
Rawlings Velo
Marucci Cat 8/9
Victus Nox
Warstic Gunner
DeMarini The Goods
I found a 34.5 online. It feels like I’m swinging a whole tree. It’s reserved for 8th and 9th innings and when we are up by 5 or more.
Where did you find it and how much was it if you don’t mind me asking?
@@joangelrodriguez143 it’s an old wood bat. I found it on an online goodwill auction for like $5 and the shipping was like $15. I can’t find any more of it so good luck finding one if you want one. I tried looking up the name on it too and found nothing. I’ll keep digging if you’d like. I’ll let you know if I find anything.
My dude had a 35 in highschool lol..felt like it would physically bend when you swung it..haha
@@Ifugiveubegin2live 😂😂 . I’m 6’1 330 with a decent amount of muscle and my 34.5 feels likes like I’m swinging Thor’s hammer. It’s uncuped so that makes it heavier. Idk how he managed to find a 35😳😳
It is a tree 🌳 trunk 😄 🤣
When it comes to bat length, try to imagine slicing the bat into .5 inch long sections. Now, imagine the path of the swing for each section. Swing path is usually a rotation, like a half circle. Essentially, you have to push each section in a half circle. The half circle closest to the hands will be small and doesn't take much effort to push a section along, but the half circles farthest away are long and take a lot of effort.
Every time you go up .5 inches, you add an even LARGER half circle that takes even MORE effort than the previous longest section. This is the basis of length as a measurement of weight. Even if the bat has the same scale weight, it'll be heavier. To get swing weight of a longer bat equal to that of a shorter bat, its scale weight will have to be lower. This is important in USSSA, because with some bats, it's possible to move up an inch and move down a drop weight. In that regard, the swing weight could be equalized or even lighter. A 30" drop 5 may be heavier than a 31" drop 8 or vice versa.
If a bat has the same swing weight and different bat length, the longer bat will usually be better because the speed of rotation is greater. There aren't any companies i know that do this successfully and in slowpitch, a lot of bat companies do a progressive endload. Most 2 piece hybrids are also a progressive endload whereas for 1 piece bats, it is different for everyone.
If a bat has the same scale weight and even the same balance point, the longer bat will feel heavier because it has a longer path. So if you are using a drop 2 33" and move up to a drop 3 34", it'll still be heavier, so with wood bats, quarter lengths and half lengths are SUPER important because drop 3 is usually the highest drop in wood.
Great comment. In the end, are you saying that a drop 2 33 would be heavier than a drop 3 34, or what did you mean. I swing wood in the summer so I’m curious.
@@anthonydolce5401 the other way around. A 33" drop 2 and a 34" drop 3 both weigh 31 oz, but because the distribution of the weight is further out, the 34" will feel heavier.
I have a 33" 36 oz bat that I call Mjolnir and i use it to show off during BP or demos, but for some reason, it feels just a little bit heavy than a 110 34" drop 2 i made for someone. It's 1 inch shorter and 4 oz heavier!
⭐️🌈 “The More You Know.”
Using this logic wouldnt the 32 inch outperform all the others then?
@@KT-ed8hj If you're referring to the bats in this particular video, then no. You can see at 0:43 in the video all of these bats are drop 3 (-3). So Will is comparing a 32/29 vs a 32.5/29.5 and so on. The bats are going up in scale weight while also going up in length.
Basically, the bat is the same except more metal is getting added to the end to make it longer. This makes the difference in swing weight, power, and barrel control between bat lengths bigger than if they were all the same scale weight.
Tevatron's comment was talking about bats where the scale weight doesn't go up by the same amount the bat length does. The Baseball Bat Bros have videos about "long and light vs short and heavy" that cover this. It's different for BBCOR compared to wood bats.
Back in high school one of the first companies to offer the half sizes was Rip-It. I used their first prototype air in a 33.5. It was unreal
I remember when that bat came out. Good times
I used a 32 from 7th grade until my junior year. I then went to 33 and hated it. I went back to 32 for my senior year and college and hit better than ever. I'm 5'10" and would crowd the plate so I could reach the outside better. I loved the inside fastball so it helped but did take a ton of hit by pitches. I moved to 33 because it made you feel cooler and weird peer pressure, but I was just a better hitter with a 32.
It would have been nice to try a 32.5 back then. This was 2002-06 time frame.
Watching this in 2024, kudos to you for working on your craft. I can tell you have been grinding the past 2 years and we as viewers appreciate that. Awesome video dude!
I’ve started swinging a wooden 34” AP5 a few weeks ago at 15, and within a couple days it really helped me with mechanics and it makes it feel so easy to swing my regular 33 BBcor in game.
@Trynzy not all wood bats are -3, could’ve been a -5, or it could’ve just been very level
@Trynzy what bat was it?
i agree i swung a 243 -2 in the cage during the off season then going back to my 33 30 cat 9 connect it feels incredibly light and helped me me able to make bat as a freshman
My brother has hit with a 34” 2018 voodoo insane since his junior year of high school. He is committed to Colorado mesa university for next years season. He has been in juco for three years and is finally getting a chance to play at a higher stage and I couldn’t be more excited for him!
So 2 things i noticed. As the bat length increased, your launch angle varied more. With the shorter lengths, you'd constantly be 20-30 with a few in the perfect perfect range of 7-15
With the heavier bats, your launch angle would go up in the 40s and vary a lot. This is a testament to the increase in swing weight.
The longer bats have your hands moving slower, but because the hitting zone is farther out from the center, the barrel is moving faster, maybe even just as fast. It isn't just about the mass or increased swing weight. The difference in scale weight between your first bat and your last bat was equivalent to a thick slice of cheese. The difference comes in moment of inertia and barrel speed
My 13 y/o son loves your bat reviews and therefore I use them for product research prior to purchasing his gear for the upcoming seasons (on what seems like a yearly basis now). He bought himself a 32/27 CAT9 Connect last year for Middle School ball with his "Dinger Dollars" from travel tourneys, picked up a 32/29 The Goods last summer for Little League and the JV/15u tourneys, and his 33/30 VooDoo One is scheduled to arrive Wednesday. He has a compact swing, never swings hard and is always balanced, yet refuses to swing a balanced style bat. I used to think a lighter bat would be better for him with his swing style, but he squares the ball up and it flies off the barrel with what looks like minimal effort from a 6'2 170 pound kid. Just wanted to say thanks for all the informative videos that have led to him choosing bats he has success with!
Coming from a 6'5 200 pound junior in high school who swings a 34, id say that if you can handle it, its totally worth it. Ive been swinging my 34 goods 2 piece for about a year, and absolutely love it.
You’re giant bro 😂
I was 6’3” and 215# my senior year of high school. I swung a 34/29 and it was awesome! Joined an 18+ league in college that required wood bats....33/30.
At 6' 5" a 33 would be too short really..
Must underrated channel on RUclips right now! Love the videos!
I’m 6’1” 200 and I’ve swung a 32” and 32.5” for a long time. I’ve tried going up to 33” just too much for me. But I’m also more a contact hitter and was never worried about hitting home runs. My favorite hitter to copy was chipper Jones. I batted 2nd a lot in high school and college so getting on base and stealing was my job. Swinging a bigger bat felt heavy and less control of the barrel
2nd hitters are usually my favorite type of players.
I'm actually studying this kind of stuff in hs physics class right now. The longer the bat is, the further the average point of mass is to the pivot point. This increases rotational inertia, making the bat harder to swing. Longer bats are also heavier which makes them harder to swing. However, more inertia and mass means more momentum, which is why despite being harder to swing/control, you get higher exit velocity.
When I started in men's competitive fast pitch our bats were 34/36 with a 16" barrel. We were swinging at pitches in the 60 -70 mph range but from softball pitching distance. I had no issues at 16 swinging those beasts. I played one game in HS baseball, completely different pitch presentations, and went 6/6 with 6 HRs. I was only 5'9'' but 260 lbs. I wasn't fat at all so that helped a bit. I wrecked my knee shortly after in wrestling practice so baseball didn't stick.
I'm 6'3" 235 lbs and swing a 34 inch stringking/ Baum balanced. Definitely benefits me in the power department.
Yeah. Your build definitely makes a difference, but no one should eliminate the 34 unless they have swung it. Wood bats especially. I swing a 33/31 max Bat currently, but the 34 is nice.
@Anthony Garbers it's a comfort deal for sure. If you can't turn on a fastball then you shouldn't be swinging that big of a bat. Too many guys get swept up in just exit velo

6'3" 235 is such a unit size.
When I played ball for the Pads scout team, one of the coaches came up to me and asked to see my bat. He and the hitting coach had a bet that I was swinging a 32 inch and the other thought it was a 32.5. I swung a 33/30 141 and they didn't know how I was crowding plate that much and still getting the barrel around on inside heaters. Hitting really is an art, from your potential to hard work to finding what specs work for you on a bat. Practice for real play, live AB's are really beneficial
I know your comment is old but I decided to look into speeds again. My son hammers anything with a light bat but is being to to swing a 33 or 34 because he is 6’3 without shoes and 6’7 wingspan. He needs a lighter bat!! I keep telling him this.
More bat companies should make 32.5s

As a new viewer it would be cool to do a re-fresher on your history, who's in the batbros, your back round in baseball come up stuff like that. Love the vids
Back when I played in high school 20 years ago we did not have anywhere near the data that kids have today on bats. But just playing around with different sizes and bats in BP we could tell then what you're doing now: bigger bat means harder hit and farther hit. When I was 17 I was 6'3" and 200 pounds so I didn't have any issues getting the 34 inch bat around and that's what I swung. Ironically enough, I wasn't a home run or power hitter, I was a contact hitter. Back then with those BESR bats like the Easton ZCore I swear I was probably hitting exit velo of between 100-105mph. It was legit scary how hard I could hit a ball off a 34 inch ZCore.
You just proved what I found out about the 34" bat. I could push the ball into the power alley (R/C). A 33" I could pull the ball or catch up to a fastball pitcher. Great video.
Take note. I was 5’10” 200 my senior year of HS. My bench max was around 300. With a drop 5 34” redline I hit six bombs and had a 400 batting average. Fast forward 2 years with a drop 3, 34” and my batting average my last year of JC was like 200 and lots of fly outs to the track. My bench was up to 375 though! Anyway, long story short… go short! If I had to do it over I would probably try chocking up on a 33 and stand on top of the plate.
Same I was 5'10 240 in high school i had an Easton reflex core 34 drop 5 for right handed hitting looking back I wish I'd have gone down to a 32 drop 5 that I used for lefty..had a higher average from the left side. Now I use a 31 inch bat in mens senior league lol. Can turn on the inside pitch and my arms are long enough to cover the plate.
You swung a drop 5 in HS? I swung a 33 -3 with a 400 avg and a few bombs (a lot of doubles lol)
@@domanicvaldez ya the -5 were kind of like cheating… However, my nephew hit 1 home run in HS and played on the same fields this summer in his wood bat league and hit like 4 home runs. I think those -3’s are purposefully dead. We’ll see what he has next year at his D2 school. Hopefully he will start. He should, he’s 6’3” and fast as lightning. He’ll be way better than I ever was.
Wood bat leagues are the best! My career halted due to several injuries and life shifts but I still train. I had 2 D1 Offers, Multiple D2 & D3 offers but a torn UCL and a Ruptured Disc later I lost my career. Im still young (20 almost 21) so maybe I will go play indy ball or something for fun. @@wesleyturner1979
I’d love to get my hands on a 32.75 just for that feeling of more barrel control without sacrificing too much length. A 32.75 -2.5 would be really cool.
13 and in 8th grade but play up at 14u. Got the 32”/29 Meta for Spring to make the jump to BBCOR. Hit tanks with it. Probably get the 33” over the summer to get ready for freshman year. Thanks for information and great content 🔥
Swung a 34 through out my highschool/college/pro career. I'm 6'2 215. I think it depends on the hitter. 34 really isn't much more if you learn to swing it right.
You are big enough to swing a 34.
This guy in the video doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A lot of Pros swing big bats.
@@PurpleRanger69 most swing 33, 33.5 or 34. Judge swings a 35 Stanton a 34. Two of the bigger guys in the game.
@@PurpleRanger69 yeah but a lot if not most don’t. Ronald acuna and mike trout swing 33.5. Bryce Harper swings a 33 , people like Arron judge who are like 6.7 230 swing bigger bats, because they are big enough and strong enough to do so, I’m sure all 3 of those guys could swing a 34 or more but they dont do so for a reason. The guy in the video is absolutely right not wrong
I’m 6’0 220 just got into baseball haven’t played in 11 years I’m in adult league for fun I got a 33 inch I’m hitting the ball deep but I think I’m gonna use a 32 to have more control on where I hit the ball
Barrel size and mass, do play a role in exit velocity, but don't forget about how length increases leverage. When you consider the relationship of "leverage" on the increase in exit velocity, it works very similar to shaft length in golf drivers. Put the same head on different length shafts and even if they have the same exact weight, the longer shafts will generate higher exit velocity, which in turn, will generate more distance. That's why my college coach told us to swing the "longest" bat you can get through the zone...
You guys are my favorite RUclips channel out. Can y’all do the cat9 connect vs the Demarini the goods one piece ?
i was a power hitter once i hit my growth spurt in 9th grade and swung a 32 the entire time. put up some decent numbers with it as well
same, i swung a 32 all through high school. my arms were too long to swing a 33 or 34. by my Jr year i was 6'2 245 so i didn't really need the bat length anyways to hit homeruns. but all we had were 1 piece aluminum bats back then.
@@sirmonkey1985 5'9 145 32 or 33?
@@sirmonkey1985exactly!! What’s your wingspan? My sons us 6’7. I’ve used this same argument. Coaches keep pushing the bigger bats. But when we’ve worked together everything tells me he needs a well balanced shorter bat. How big of a difference was it for you? How can I explain to him that he will still be in the zone? He tends to miss the barrel consistently regardless of the time he puts in.
I started swinging a 32/30 wood bat because I like the 32 length but wanted some more mass in the end. It would be cool to see a comparison video like this of a 32/29, 33/30 wood compared to a 32/30 wood.
No one asked
this is literally the best channel on youtube. been watching you guys for years
Actually, the Whiskey Throttle Show holds that title, but this is a great channel for sure.
I've been swinging a 34" forever. I'm 45 now and finally went down to a 33" last night as we were facing a kid throwing extremely hard. I lined out hard to the fence (almost a grand slam) - I'm never going back to 34"
For some context, the at-bat before that pitcher made me look bad swinging a 34"
5’10 sophomore and swing 33 and handle it nicely also straight bar deadlift 500lbs
Atta boy!!
As an older Adult league player at 5'8 160lbs all my bats are 33" but I have varying weights. Some of the pitchers still throw in the 70s while others are real slow in the 40s! I use 33/30 for the fastest pitchers then a 33/32 for the slow pitchers. I am now thinking maybe I should try a 32/29 to see if I have a bit more barrel control against the harder throwers who typically also have more FB movement..
I play too. The 32 is much easier to control, Bellinger model. But if you get a good 33, the ball goes further and more exit velo.
I think its possible that these increases in velocity have more to do with weight than length? Would be cool to see this test strictly with different weights
I swung a 33/31 in the early 80s at 5'7" 150lbs. After taking a few practice swings, I'd knock the donut off and it felt like I was swinging a broomstick. I hit cleanup, but we had three guys on the team over 200lbs and none of them could compete.
Even for power hitters, if you can make more regular, more consistent contact with a smaller bat and still get it out, go for that. Runs count the same whether they clear the fence by an inch or a mile.. Coming from a guy who was 6’5 and 210 in high school.
Son is 6’3 and rail thin 151 pounds with a 6’7 wingspan. Hes only a sophomore so the weight will come but I’ve told him all this time swing a shorter bat (lighter) but coaches keep telling him to use a 33 or 34. When he moves to a lighter bat he crushes anything. To me speed equals power. He’s not tanking home runs anytime soon. Just not happening. However with a lighter bat I feel it’s a possibility.
@@TheRoadLessChosen Angular velocity is a function of radius so in theory a longer bat has a faster barrel, but that would only apply if your lad could swing both with the same hand speed. Going to a longer bat when he’s not ready will just screw up his mechanics as he has to sacrifice proper form to shift the heavier bat and cause him to lose power in the long run - ignore the coaches, have him swing the lighter bat properly and move up bat sizes as he stacks on muscle..
Good vid. Always interesting to see how bat length can determine batted ball speed and distance. In the end it boils down to whether you want distance or control.
What you might do on your slowpitch channel to further dig into this is to try using the overlap grip vs. a standard grip. See which grip produces the best batted ball speed and distance consistently.
5'9 145 32 or 33?
Can you do the same test with the goods ive actually noticed a jump in my exit velos going from the 33 to the 32 and I would assume that its just the extra bat speed but the jump is significant it would be interesting to see
You guys are the best baseball bat review channels
Customized a CB35 33.5/29.5. I think it’s the perfect blend of a large sweet spot with good bat speed. In HS I used to swing an Easton S1 34/31
It depends a lot on how you like the balance of the bat, I’m 5’6” and with no trouble I swing a 34/31
5'9 145 32 or 33?
32
I’m thinking about getting ‘the goods’ 32/29. Is there a difference in exit velo between the 32 inch and 33 inch?
You should do a exit velo test video where you see the difference between a standard grip, and the way you hold it with your pinky hanging over the knob
so im 6,2 150 pounds should i stay with 32 or go up .5
Was always a contact hitter. Back in early high school I was like 5’8 150 pounds. Struggled to even get a 32 bat through the zone with speed. Hit the gym and gained 10-15 pounds, and it made all the difference. My average jumped up the next season and I was hitting for the highest average on the team. Opted to not move up to a 33 because I could make such good contact with the 32, and power was never my game anyway.
5’6” 160 lbs in high school and swung a 33/30 with no problem. In junior league I swung a 34/29 just for fun and hit a 365ft Grandslam. But used 33/28 mostly. But at 5’6” with a 33/30 I didn’t have a problem. Junior league was about 13-14 y/o back in my day
I personally had a lot of luck with the long ball with a 34 bbcor aeroburner in 14u. It was either gone or pop out though no in between. I’ve now slowed it down and I’m swinging a 33 voodoo one and loving it. Definitely more of an end load guy but this bat makes up for it.
I’ve been using 33.5 Wood bat since Middle School, Senior year at HS 33.5 too and now Freshman college I’m trying to control 100% 34 size but if a kid ask me what size I rather use is 33 inches a 100% once u start facing 88+ every game for a long season is just different
I started swinging a 33 in 30oz bat in 8th grade and I was like 150 pounds at 5 foot 7 inches. I'm a senior in college now still playing ball. I've always swung a 33 bat. tried 34, could swing it but felt more comfortable with a 33 cuz I'd pop up or be late swinging a 34. Now I'm 195 at 5 foot 9 inches swinging a 33 still
I have a 1995 Black Magic 33/30 to send you guys in good condition, it still hits 💣
what about tall people? I'm 6'3" and just getting into baseball. Would you still suggest a 33 over a 34?
Probably depends on weight, if your upwards of 180lbs than 33.5 would be a solid choice. I’m 5’8 150-155lbs at 32in bat
Hey, I'm not the biggest guy in the world (6'1"/200) but I hit for tons of power in highschool with a 34" bat. Crowded the plate with a big loopy LH swing too.
I should maybe mention I'm old and that it was a 34/29 Redline. My summer team played on a field that was real short, like 315' down the right field line and things got a little silly that last summer that bat was legal.
I stuck with the 34/31 after the rules changed my senior year and into college ball and maybe I should've backed down to a 33/30, but I felt like it was worth it for the power.
I don't know english but i like your videos🙂
In HS summer Connie Mac league ( yea I'm old), I was 6'- 6'1" 180 and swung a 34 ( wood). We shared the same bat and my friend broke it during a game. went to get a new bat and the turn I liked was in a 33. Swung that bat much better. hit the 330' fence once and got one GRD. Hit a couple balls well with the 34 one foul over the fence down the line. Just very inconsistent. My batting average went from about )0.240 to 0.380
Rn I’m 5’10 150 as a junior and I’ve pretty much been around this size since freshman year. I’ve always been noticeably stronger than everyone around my size. So freshman year I swung a 32/29 voodoo insane and I definitely wasn’t being bullied by higher velocity but I popped up more than I’d like to. About midway through the season I switched to the 33/30 quatro pro 2018 (glowstick) and my hitting did a complete 180, the insane was just a little too endloaded for me at the time. Sophomore year tho I switched to the 1st Goods 2-pc model (black and Gold) I had hit the weight room a little harder and was actually able to swing one of the most endloaded bats in bbcor effectively only popping under the ball once from what I can remember. Now we’re here today a couple weeks away from the start of my Junior season still swinging the 33/30 goods and I have more control of it than ever. I did just get a custom voodoo one and I’m excited to see how it swings and if I’ll like the more balanced feel over the heavier goods. To summarize this overall (slightly too long) comment, you don’t always have to swing what someone your size “should” swing; swing. Usually you should swing what the general bat community tells you to swing for your size, but there are always people like Enrique Bradfield on vandy who is an exceptional contact hitter swinging a goods, Ozzie Albies of the Braves who swings one of the biggest bats I’ve ever seen, and lastly me above average high schooler 🙃

I had so many people telling me about THE GOODS and how its the hottest bat in high school rn. So I decided to get one, when i went to go order one I found out they didn’t have 34s in stock, so I decided to order a 34.5. I’ve been raking with it. All that to say its really up to preference and finding a balance of power and contact for your own swing. Oh and Btw I’m a 6’2 200 senior in high school and I’ve always used bigger bats.

Still swing a 34/32 Marucci AP5 in the old man's washed up league lol
i think it just depends on the hitter because im ab 5'9 140 and im swinging a 33/30 goods and i have better barrel control and exit velo with that than i do with a 32/29
33.5 here. I was a 5’10” 190 lbs farm kid. Didn’t hurt any that the bats were drop 5 when I played.
Personally I don’t think size matters cuz it’s all about personality and how the bat can treat you cuz big bats just have bad personality and that’s just not what you want in a bat
Back in 2016 my junior year I switched to a 34 5150 and started raking switching from the Louisville Attack that was a 32. My numbers jumped and I never looked back. If you have decent to good bat speed you’re going to have a good time. I do recommend lol

Curious what it would look like for a small but strong(ish) little leaguer... typically the move is to go up to a 29 -10 but what if he stayed at 28 and moved up to -8. Does the 28 hit the ball harder because it weighs more and have better barrel control?

6’6 235 college fresh here. 34 is money if you can swing it and get it around the zone. I swing a 34 2020 5150 (silver one) and I gotta say In BP I gotta swing a 33 harder then my 34 to see the ball launch.
I’m 5’6” and weigh 205 and I started playing an adult wood bat league. I bought a 32” and then a 33”. I am not sure which one I should be using.
33.5 especially the hzrdus are pretty good for guys who don’t wanna quite use a 34 and it absolute rakes
Y’all are the best
Just copped a LS Select PWR thx to y'alls video suggestions! Thx a bunch! Also yes size does matter 😉😉😉
Hahaha let’s gooooo
@@baseballbatbros great video on size affecting the edit velo? So should we get a slightly end loaded bat to break prs on exit velo? (Talking wood not aluminum) also do dead balls affect exit velo?
Love ur vids can u compare the goods and the 2022 Zen -3?
I’m a freshmen at 5’5 145 lbs and I don’t know if I should get a 32 or 33. My bench max is around 180 and squat is around 300
My 7th grader 5’6 165 lbs swings a 32
as a 5’11 197 junior i swing a 33/30 since my sophomore year i was also just a strong kid
Did anyone else see does size matter 32 32.5 33 34 then just bbc not bbcor
I swing a 35 32 , bc you barely have to swing to drive the ball, only problem is if they have a sharp cb your kinda done for with 2ks if they have a little velo
I swung a 34/31 in college but choked up. Wasn’t a power hitter but still hit a few dingers
Will I’m like 5’6 and swing the Alpha ALX in a 33 cause to me it felt more balanced than the 32
Great video I love these type of videos!!!
Still waiting for a swing and miss from will😂
I would love to see a blooper compilation
Everything is give and take. A 34 that's not as barrel heavy as a 32 that's extra end heavy will actually swing easier. There's a reason why barrel shape and size are all different. Everyone will have a different sweet spot for how they swing. Personally for me I liked the heaviest bat I could control but have it more balanced. Not too end loaded unless it's lighter then you can get more endloaded to help that bat plow through the ball.
So my question becomes for a 32 what bat would you recommend? Because most of your voting and rankings are based off of the 33/30 version of the bat
You just gave every sixth grader their science project for the year🤣
Im 5'11 with an open stance swinging a 34/29 sambat I just prefer to hit outside pitches when I can
I need to decide between the select power or the new gunner. Any thoughts or other bats?
I’m 6,4 220 in high school I used a 34 the goods my senior year and batted 430 and had 7 home runs. Got the bat around on mid 80s fastballs it really is you just having to get used to it. I probably would have switched to a 33.5 tho If I could find a goods at that length.
i got a bam bat, 32.5/29.5 and it’s endload, it’s hard for to get around bc i’m only abt 5,7 120 lbs
Imagine back in the day they swung 36" 30+oz bats to 34oz. Without watching the video first, I would would agree with the barrel control with the shorter bats, but disagree with the higher bat speed with the shorter bats. All things being perfect in a perfect world, The longer the lever the higher the speed. The shorter, the quicker the bat. Quickness does not necessarily equal speed.
That’s exactly what we’re saying haha
Bat quickness doesn't exactly equal distance either. You just need enough control and speed to get the barrel on the ball when it's on the corners or off the plate. But you need enough plow through to really send that ball flying as well as provide the comfort if you miss hit. Honestly I wouldn't mind that huge caveman club if I'm going to be hitting especially if it's chilly out or it's against pitching that isn't very reliant on off speed stuff. You learn to adjust to whatever you swing.
I’m 14 5’6 and 120 pounds I’m currently swinging a 32 -3 hour should I move up to a 33 maximum ultra
I love your videos, and I wholeheartedly trust your opinions on baseball bats. However, born and raised in Cincinnati and a lifelong Bengals fan, I have to disagree with the jersey choice in this one. Who Dey!
I never had the knowledge of bat stuff so I always swung a 33/30 since 7th grade
I started using a 34” stinger Nuke. Feels like a log originally but it’s insane how the ball comes off it
Yo I’m 6’3 195 I was thinking of getting the 34 stinger nuke is it worth even though the swing weight?
@@saybian1940 it is definitely a little heavy. Depends on the velo you’re seeing. It’s hard to have consistent barrels but I like it because mishits the ball flies off of it and you don’t need to barrel everything perfectly
What should i use i am 14 6,1 and 230 and i use a 32 and it fells very light
You should do a video on the Stringking Metal 2 and the pro vs the original stringking metal and the pro. I have the original metal pro and I was wondering if it is worth an extra $100 to get the pro instead of the original. Thanks.
Is a 32/29 (Voodoo one) too much for a 14 year old who is 5'10" 132lbs? Not sure if I should have him try a 31" same bat.
Do this with Wood! Let's Go!
Back in high school I was 6’ 240, swung a 34/31 and was hitting nukes.. swing what you’re comfortable with.
Great video, how about a video on wood bats?
I love PDX Eastside
I’m 6’3 and 145 pounds. On the skinnier and weaker side of things and I was wondering if I should switch to a 32 instead of using a 33. I swing a 33 2021 Goods currently but am looking into a 32/29 2023 Voodoo. My biggest problem is being on time. I choke my 33 Goods up until it’s basically a 32 so should I just get the 32 2023 Voodoo?
What did you do? You’re my son’s size. Plus he has a 6’7 wingspan. I want him to try a shorter bat for more control.
I’m a freshman and I swing a 33 but I’m 6”1 190
I swing a 33 but I'm 5"2 125 lol
I wish u could get The Select Power in a 33.5/30.5 like the NOX
