The best BESR bat of all time VS. the juiced Mizuno Japan VKONG-02

- Today we're comparing two of the hottest bats we've ever swung on the channel... the 2008 Easton Stealth Comp BESR (the bat that was responsible for the shift to BBCOR in 2011) versus the Mizuno VKong02 (the bat that is causing Japanese high school baseball to shift to the BBCOR standard in 2024).

We need to find a bat company that would design you a 1 of 1, most juiced as possible bat, not regulated at all for the world record attempt. They would get great marketing and you would get a juiced bat!
That's hilarious because that's exactly what I'm working on lol there is unfortunately a lot of liability to go against making the hottest bat possible. Hillerich and Bradsby got sued for this in the early 00s when they made the Air Attack 2 during the tail end of the gorilla ball era. In the modem era however, there is little need for a company to sell the hottest bat ever without legal certification, because all you gotta do is get a really good regular bat and take it to a bat doctor for 150 bucks to get it shaved and rolled. You instantly get the hottest bat possible while the bat companies are washed clean of the liability
Please someone do this it would be amazing
@@Tevatron044 What does shaved and rolled mean?
@@irtnyc 2 different processes for composite bats to increase performance. Rolling is the process of breaking in the bat on high pressure rollers. It doesn't make the bat any hotter than it would've been already, it just skips the work you put into breaking it in
Shaving on the other hand is a process where you cut the inside of the barrel wall (metal and composite bats are hollow so that the barrel wall can flex like a trampoline and increase exit velocity) to make it thinner. The thinner the barrel wall, the more powerful the bat is but the less durable it is too
Rolling and shaving don't do anything to increase a composite bats performance
they just accelerate the break in process
Bros JT just sneaking in like that?? Dudes his swing is so much more smooth. It’s amazing to watch y’all’s progression and growth over the years of the channel, both of you. Thank you guys!!!’
is it just me or is JT huge now
@@JBH2989yeah he’s gotten pretty tall and stronger for sure.
u should do easton hype fire vs easton stealth comp vs green zen vs easton xl1 these matchup would be 🔥 because your are putting some of the best bets ever against eachother
:edit im going to try and get this comment pinned
Real
No comparison. Stealth is BESR drop 3. Rest are USSSA drop 5's.
That would be a short video. Hype would just break after about 10-12 swings
Y'all should definitely do a classic bat bros bat madness but with BESRs, modern -5 composites and 90's steroid era college bats. That would be sick.
BESR video would be EXPENSIVE, lots of those bats are 500+ on Ebay with questionable condition (either super damaged or even Shaved/Rolled)
No point to include besrs since the besr regulation was implemented to reduce the power of bats from the late 90s and the usssa regulation was implemented using the same regulation that the late 90s bats said they were using. The better test would be new usssa alloys (virtually the same as besrs in performance but 2 oz lighter) vs late 90s bats vs Japanese alloys vs early 00s usssa bats to see what alloy era was the best
If you were to include some 14 year olds, have them swing late 90s drop 8s and compare to modern composite drop 5s
As someone who graduated in 08 I can ASSURE YOU the orange stealth was 1 of the best bats ever made. It was a cheat code
私はいつも楽しくこのチャンネルの動画を見ています！
いつも楽しい動画をありがとうございます！
You can't beat the sound of those older composite bats, I love those old stealths, 2008 was my junior year in high school so I was in it when these were new.
Just a couple of brothers hanging out and hitting high exit velos with little bro showing big bro a thing or two. You guys look like you are having just the best time.
He taught me it all hahaha
As a US college baseball player from Japan, I’d say “Sky beat” by SSK has juice more than Vcong. Basically any Japanese metal bats has a ridiculous pop
Which one is more juiced
I hope you guys never get tired of making videos. I literally look forward to you posting new stuff each week. Keep up the great work!
Been a bit of videos I haven’t seen but it’s good to see JT on here again.
Stealth comps were absolutely unreal back in the day! The sound alone is just so satisfying!
I own a 2008 Easton stealth comp exact same as in this video, 33" -3 my wife got it for me as a birthday present after speaking to the president of Easton sports here in montreal
For the WR attempt just get Easton to sponsor you, and bring 24 hype fires. Maybe see if they'll make some custome 34"s
2 requests: First could we get a Victus Vandle 3 review and Second can we get a Max Clark model Dingers bat review
I played ball with Tyler White in school and he used the orange stealth comp. He hit nukes with that thing, I think it was around 20 hrs his senior year. That was the good days, thank you for taking me back.
The Stealth comp Reg came out my end of my jr yr 07 and the orange Stealth comp came put start of my Sr Year 2007 I finished off with that bat in 2008. Love that and the regular Stealth bat.
I remember the Easton Stealth red and black and red and silver from 2005. Those things were hot! Ole Miss was using them and hit nukes like it was nothing!
The J1 cleats are heat but i think i like the Adizero's more tbh. I have that same pair JT has, the white colorway is sooo clean
You guys gotta go to that 10k feet elevation field with a hype fire and go for the world record farthest hr lol. It would be amazing lol.
Need to see a video on the New StringKing USSSA -5 that came out 3 weeks ago 😊🎉
I loved the stealth back in the day playing but my other bat I loved was the old golden rod the Easton Sv12
When JT yeeted the bat I almost spit out my sprite
EASTON Connexion Sc777 Z-Core Titanium. Hottest BESR bat of the early 2000s imo
Need to try the blue rawlings liquid metal as well
Should try the Demarini CF3 pitch black. By far my favorite BESR or the Louisville Slugger Catalyst and or the Combat B1 DaBomb Comp. Those were iconic back in my little league days
Bro you brought back memories mentioning the combat b1. My whole travel ball team when I was 9 used one combat b1. The team went through 2 or 3 of them that season😂😂They were also rolled
Combat b2 was better than the b1
@@JretnuH I never played the b2. But I’ll take your word if you played both
@@covertdestroyer mannnn the B2 was hella juiced. Thing got banned after the first season of it being in play, the virus/b1 were hot I’ve still never hit anything as hot as the b2 including the orange stealth
@@JretnuH I ended up hitting a rolled Easton synergy IMX after the b1
dude my physical therapist just had an orange stealth lying around. i gotta borrow that thing dude
The most underrated part abt will is his shoe game he has a fire collection
The pitching machine makes this so much more epic 😂❤ perfect pitches, perfect swings
JT has really made a big jump in his swing. Kid can rake.
You should see him play 2B
The sound of the ball coming off the barrel of the stealth is “heavenly”, “godlike” , “absolutely sublime”!
I love the simple design of the mizuno
I have a orange stealth 34 x 31 i barely used I played In an over 35 league I believe I only paid 250 for it. I put it on ebay for 300 dollars sold it in less than 24 hour . I would have given it away until I found out how great it was from this channel.
Try the besr cf bats. They seemed to have the juice. Also the tpx H2. Sleeper
I know this old, but my teammate had a -5 purple stealth. I've never seen anyone with that bat again. I swear to god, that bat was on another level. It was way better than the other stealth's out there. Very close second was the orange stealth.
The dark blue and red one?
Okay, so, I was in Norman, Oklahoma for a tournament, and we were at some random high school field. The high schools that let the tournaments use their fields also give teams access to cages before the games. In the cage there was a strange bbcor bat I had never seen before. I looked it up and turns out it was a 2014 demarini bbcor Vexxum. I currently swing a 33'' 2023 select power and the vexxum was very similar, 2 piece hybrid, good knob, giant sweet spot, incredible sound and pop. But there was one key difference, IT WAS WEIGHTED LIKE A CURRENT META OR VOODOO ONE. It was like the goods and voodoo had a baby, probably the best bat I've ever swung. Anyway I thought I'd let you in on this in hopes that yall would make a video comparing it to current bats like the select power, goods, and bonesaber hybrid. If you look for it online, Its white and blue. Seriously a crazy bat to swing, like the cat x connect but way lighter swinging.
Will, you had me cracking up at 3:54 when you said 107.6 with a flamboyant lisp. Not hating or judging but it was really funny. You’re so passionate and that’s bad ass
I miss my 2008 Stealth good times 🥹🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾
JT had a beautiful lefty swing with effortless power.
I need the gold CF4 vs Black CF3
Love to see you guys get your hands on a 1st gen conextion. I think it was a 2000 production model That was my choice of all the besr bast you guys have swung through high school. 2003 grad
Finally, the day has come. A Stealth bat is in a video. Thank you.
My senior year/final year of Legion ball bat. Nothing tops the Orange Monster!
Love watching the videos and seeing my old central Oregon stomping grounds!
JT finally back in the videos
Still hoping to see a battle of the Marucci USSSA composites: Hex Composite, Hex Connect, Cat 8, 9 and X Composites.
Need to just make and design your own bats at this point.. make one as hot as possible and then some that can actually be used in regulation games/leagues
A buddy of mine had the orange stealth comp. I swung it once, hit it about 430 off the house behind our school’s field. Then It had a rattle ever since. Customer service said it wasn’t covered so I ruined it :/
The 2011 easton rival ( black and yellow) was an absolute NUTS bat. Not sure if youve reviewed it yet but that thing had POP
2001 voodoo , orange bat. Was my all time favorite
The Stealth were so dope. I remember the Orginal red one. Also the black and gold stealth was dope.
I still think the Redline or the Z2K might be the hottest bats ever made… I’m on eBay now looking for a Vkong though. You guys are fueling my bat collecting and I think my wife is starting to hate it 😂
You guys should do a usa top 10 or 5 to see what are the best ones
I know you probably do do this but I have an 07-08 LVS EXO I used in HS and I would 1:06 love to see how hot it still his cause it was pretty hot my senior year I used it. If you want it it’s yours. I’m in Oregon if that helps.
Honestly, I just miss the softball reviews by you guys. No other channel does it as well in my opinion
2:40 absolute older brother moment
Another good BESR one was Liquid Metal series by Rawlings, the *Liquid Metal Plasma* was JUICED but most ppl only remember TPX Exo And Stealth from that era your the only person on the internet i think that can find 1 and test it out😂
Can you do Easton hype fire vs green 2017 zen
Yes now we need the easton xl1 vs the green zen vs the catx
Eh Yo!!!!! JT making a cameo. Let’s go!!!!
Do the battle of the USSSA Legends The Green Zen vs The Orange XL1
They did that like a year ago
That would be amazing
Hype Fire might beat both 🫣
@@baseballbatbrosyou said you sat 108-110 with the XL1 2 1/2 years ago🤷♂️
@@baseballbatbros is that a certified legend tho?
U should do bonesaber hybrid vs the atlas
great video as always guys, hey i hace a question, have you ever tried some Metalstorm alloy bats? i think they have some -5's, but not sure if they are hot or not, also the 2015 omaha balanced, is very popular here on Mexico, known for long dingers and really expensive here 🤔
@baseballbatbros we NEED the 1 of 1. NEED
I’ll go ahead and tell y’all. Those stealths are still not broke in. They sound like a tennis racket when they get right.
Top 3 video content right here, that was amazing!
Y’all ever swung the old combat bats? Like the B1 and B2 bats? Those things were hot hot when I was growing up
You should try the blue stealth imx bat was made famous by the Fresno state team I feel like it’s underrated
Do the 2011 Easton XL1 white bbcor
Please please PLEASE USE the (-10 neon green CF8) it makes every -5 zen,hype,cat. feel like they are dead. (HAS TO BE THE NEON GREAN -10). other USSSA cf8s are not the same.
$1000 for one and they would easily break with them swinging it.
bring back the cat 8 connect and compare it to the cat x connect
Early and mid-90s LS TPX "high velocity" FTW!! Gotta find them in 34 inch though. The 33's are puny.
Them stealth had the Mack daddy hacks….. the ones when I played outfield I’d just stand there…. Ain’t worth moving
When i played a tourney in HS in Florida by Easton they gave everyone in the tournament 2 free orange Easton comps to try out and keep they were great bats.
Love seeing JT in videos!! Anyone know JT’s name?
can you please do a video on the 2023 Marucci F5 and the 2022 Marucci F5?🙏
Need the 2023 budget bat showdown🫣
You guys should do the green goat vs the orang xl
You have probably heard of the cam wood hands and speed trainer, but they also make regular bats out of beechwood. It says that their bats can add 4 mph to your exit velo it would be so sick if you reviewed them 🔥🔥
Not that it matters... as a guy who has... retired... to slowpitch softball, how good is the Slowpitch Orange Stealth?
Victus Vibe Review coming?
Love the vid guys! I was wondering if you could do a budget bbcor bat comparison?
Let’s get those Nike series bats out my guy I promise they’re slept on!!!!
We need to get y’all a “Sandia” bat! It’s a -5 Omaha from Mexico
We need a coach rac x batbros video
Hello I know this isn't your field of expertise but would you ever do Fastpitch Softball Bat review there is no good video on the Fastpitch Softball Bat would love to see you bring some Fastpitch Softball player to have battles with the bests bats Thank you love your videos ❤❤❤
You should do the orange / silver stealth vs the exo grid 1. Those were the bats to have when I was in high school
Got damn these bats bring back memories in high school lmao
What bbcor bat should I use that is a little end loaded with a lot of power as a freshman?
I'm curious as to your opinions of the early 00s usssa alloys. Those bats are SUPER underrated. The TPX Response gen1x was an alloy that came in drop 12.5 oz. The big barrel and small barrel were both amazing
For the world record attempt you should be trying the aluminum bats like the green Louisville TPX bat before there was certification for bats
またVKONGを使ってくれてありがとう！
Do a battle with the xl1 vs green zen vs hype fire
Hey will if you see this you should try Brandon Nimmo’s knob or bat
Hype Fire for a record attempt needs to happen on that day.
Silly question but do you all get the dingers you all hit or just leave em? Lol. Great content and congratulations on the growth boys!
The original tpx exogrid in red/yellow/silver, and the white/red/silver were both were fantastic, just effortless power. The og black and orange one was solid but these two were on another level. The white one is often mentioned but I think the red one was truly just as great if not better in my personal experience
Hello, I'm Japanese.
I would like you to try using a softball bat called Legacy rather than vkong! Please!
When is the 2024 Demarini The goods video coming out
Can you review the new marucci 2023 f5 bbcor? and maybe put it up against the cat 9.
