im positive bats are not supposed to break like that, I have a composite bat and I've been using it for years and it hasn't fazed. I think u guys got bad brands or models
To all the people saying it's not supposed to break that easily - it literally says "on the backside" in the description, as in they're using the incorrect side on purpose. Axe bats are one-side bats.
Imagine having more that 2 bats, a pitching machine, and a batting cage. I have 2 bats but one is dented so I cant even use it so I let my coach use it for pop flies and grounders...
that's cuz its a made of a cheap aluminum, if you want a good aluminum bat, better get a Marucci. They are not too pricey and their wood bats have more pop than 90% of the USA baseball bats.
I believe you are correct, and about 200 swings get it broke in. Best to hit it off a tee to ensure proper break in. You definitely don't want to hit off a pitching machine right away. lol.
He’s definitely rotating his body too early. The proper sequence should be load, stride, lower half fire, upper half fire. Remember to let your stride foot land a second before releasing the hips and upper body. Also get your arms extended at contact and follow through. This video has been up for a while so you’ve probably already corrected some if not all of the flaws in your swing. Good Luck.
ill probably get lost in the sea of comments but dude i see 2 massive things wrong one WEAR A HELMET AND EYEPRO (you even said there is shrapnel coming off wtf) and you dont know how that bat would have broke that could have seriously hurt him while hitting and that is not cool man trust me as soon as something like that lets go there is a LOT of kinetic energy going where ever it feels like and if your in the way your going to have a bad time
100 hits? holy shit. i only played wood bats leagues so when i did break a bat it was somewhat cheap and it happened all the time, idk why but the 100 hits seems really low...
wood bats are the best for little league, and they are awesome when they break in the game. you will never break a composite in a game cuz as soon as it cracks they wont let you use them. Plus a $100 bat sounds way better than a $300 bat.
Brendan Scavelli Actually no. When you keep your front foot closed, you limited you hip rotation which causes less power. Most professional hitters that hit for power open up they front foot as soon as it lands.
Good Catch. Let us explain. It's not so much that if it breaks "easy" it is good. But, instead, because it breaks you know it is reaching the limit. Which means, in turn, the bat company made the bat close to the standard. So, when the bat is not breaking it is performing really well. It is irritating when the bat breaks (because you have to get it replaced) but a composite bat line that NEVER breaks means they likely didn't make it very hot. Or, at least as hot as others. The hottest composite bats out there play a fine line between breaking and working. And if they NEVER go over the line it is likely the bat isn't very hot.
As we've written about 1,000 times on this channel, we are not looking for hitting advice and this isn't a hitting channel---never claims to be. It is a bat channel about bats. But, thanks for watching!
idk whats worse... the fact that you took the time to intentionally break a bat or that horrible swing getting replayed over and over again. Sheesh my eyes fuckin hurt.
lol, this dude believes that its a good comp bat if it breaks in 100 good hits. Thats for a good comp Axe bat because it tends to wear down a ton because you are hitting it on 1 side of the bat. A good comp bat is 1 you can get a good 1000-5000 hits in with until it breaks. These bats are like the Eastons Mako. My opinion is that buying the Axe bats is a complete waste of money for a bat that hits the same as every other bat and it breaks in 100 hits.
TheMasterJarvis lmao cost is not a problem for the mlb... If they used composite bats every at bat would be a homerun... Everything you just said is wrong
Your son is late he is hitting it all the time the other way thats what my dad tells me and I am doing good in gamez and cages so tell him to get the bat out quicker or setup the tee infront of home so he could he could hit it their all the time
Biscuit Plays Dont ever try to tell someone how to play the game unless you have made it to the majors. Otherwise your talking nonsense and annoying people who try to get better with ignorance
Michael Brown lol that eliminates 99.9% of coaches in the world. Are you allowed to tell other people offering advice not to offer advice unless you’ve coached in the majors too?
I’m guessing your son is about 12-14 years old. Why in the world is he using a drop 10?! Kids that age should be using drop 5s or MAYBE drop 8s if they have a slower bat speed and are smaller. Waste of money and he won’t be prepared to swing a BBCOR in a year or two
Maybe swing a drop 3
the jealousy of your setup. I wish i had a set up like that growing up
I had the original mako and it is the best bat I have ever owned it’s still in perfect condition
Hayden Holiman Easily the best bat
Hayden Holiman same dude
those bats were insane
The orange ones were the best ones they ever made, the mako beast was worse imo
Nothing like getting carbon fiber shards in your eye for a youtube video
I def don’t think a expensive good bat is supposed to break with under 100 hits
It doesnt
Right I have an axe with like 10k plus and I got it for 3 years
You aren’t normally gonna be hitting 100 in a row
Usually you take one hundred swings not trying your hardest to break it in so it doesn’t crack
Adam Fred he said 100,000 I think
I have a composite bat that I've hit probably 10k+ balls with and its not even cracked
I have a Easton SCN19 USSSA with 11k hits on it
WildWaterBassin 3
WildWaterBassin it’s because he doesn’t know how to hit
WildWaterBassin it’s probably because you haven’t hit those 10k+ in complete succession😂
I have a axe bat with 0 hits because I got it today
Bat's should not break like that. 100 swings? WTH! Are you hitting bowling balls.
Ikr
Axe bats are designed and constructed to be hit only on one "side". The hitting side is reinforced and built stronger than the non-hitting surfaces.
must be fun to be rich and have 20-30 expensive bats laying in your back yard
Brando C ya
Idont own a bat because there so expensive, i just use one of my teammates bats
they're like only 50
Fike It might be $50 for a cheapo Walmart bat that will warp the second you hit a ball, but the good high quality bats run in the $200 range.
They work with just bats and get free bats to do reviews on
I want a cage in my backyard
im positive bats are not supposed to break like that, I have a composite bat and I've been using it for years and it hasn't fazed. I think u guys got bad brands or models
Drop 10 weak bro😂
Robert Hamman yeah it is. I'm 12 playing with a 33 inch bat with a drip three
Bro why you talking you could barely swing a drop 20
BEASTMODE15 bet
BEASTMODE15+ same but 32 inches
Yeah i got a drop 3

Your bat should not break after 100+ hits its sad if it does
is it a good or a bad thing that I have previously broken 1 alloy and 1 aluminum bat at the age of 13
Swing has got a lot better
He swings like a turtle going into its shell
dude this is so cool
I’ve never seen a composite bat break before untill now
Will the Easton mako do the same ?
Yes. It is composite.
Bat Digest Ok Thank You !
Is there an axe handle adaptor on the market to change a regular bat into an ax handle?
I have the axe bat and it has so much pop
I have that exact composite axe bat
What is that form lol
Was I the only one that flinched at 1:23? 😂
I wonder if my gohst x will break.
My rawlings machine bat just bent almost in half
that's cuz its a made of a cheap aluminum, if you want a good aluminum bat, better get a Marucci. They are not too pricey and their wood bats have more pop than 90% of the USA baseball bats.
Your supposed to break it in with light swings and rotations of the bat and it will not crack and after it will give the bat more pop
I believe you are correct, and about 200 swings get it broke in. Best to hit it off a tee to ensure proper break in. You definitely don't want to hit off a pitching machine right away. lol.
Awesome swing that kid .
Great swing kid.
He’s definitely rotating his body too early. The proper sequence should be load, stride, lower half fire, upper half fire.

Do aluminum bats break
nice added sound effects
I just bought a marruci cat 7 yesterday love it
If he is going to wear one batting glove the wear it on you’re left hand
He rolled over on a couple of his swings
I got three mako beasts XL drop five 31 inches, they all broke in the same exact spot just from bp
that bat is god tier
ill probably get lost in the sea of comments but dude i see 2 massive things wrong one WEAR A HELMET AND EYEPRO (you even said there is shrapnel coming off wtf) and you dont know how that bat would have broke that could have seriously hurt him while hitting and that is not cool man trust me as soon as something like that lets go there is a LOT of kinetic energy going where ever it feels like and if your in the way your going to have a bad time
You're*
You really don’t need helmet in a batting cage when it’s coming out of a machine goin 15 mph.
How do you brake them
CREEPERKILLyolo YT they get heated and start to crack
Break*
Jealous of your cage you’re so lucky😍
I dont remember braking a metal bat once .
you only break an aluminum bat if its cheap.
Do the manufacturers actually warranty a broken bat?? Have you sent one and that broke and they replaced it? Thanks!!!
Gear Barrel Yes they do replace them.
100 hits? holy shit. i only played wood bats leagues so when i did break a bat it was somewhat cheap and it happened all the time, idk why but the 100 hits seems really low...
I’ve hit 500+ balls on my 19 Demarini zen and it barely has any chips in it
But mine had a small hole but it was cold
Hold up,
I got a wood bat for $80 and it's fine
For now
wood bats are the best for little league, and they are awesome when they break in the game. you will never break a composite in a game cuz as soon as it cracks they wont let you use them. Plus a $100 bat sounds way better than a $300 bat.
I don't think it's dead yet
I have a 2018 cf zen and I have over 500 swings without it breaking
That bat on the cover is the bat I use
Brady Heinrich its the bat in the video.. did you even watch the video?
My bat broke and it was sf zen 2018 and it was 350$
If he kept his front foot closed he would have a lot more power
Brendan Scavelli Actually no. When you keep your front foot closed, you limited you hip rotation which causes less power. Most professional hitters that hit for power open up they front foot as soon as it lands.
Othani, Giancarlo, neither of them fly their hips open...
Austin Rose I said most bud. And I never said fly their hips open... I said they open up their front foot when it lands
totally agree. Hips closed vs foot closed is insanely different. Ideally, you're (softly) landing your front foot at 45 degrees
i have 3 composite bats over 10k hits on each of them and not even a slight crack in them .
I have a wooden bat and I am always at the top.
U guys need to break the bat in. By hitting off a tee for around 250 hits then soft rose the over head throw
Tmesi this new trebd is no touching phone type to no sense making butttttt
A kid on my team swings the exact same axe bat😂
Is it just me or did I flinch at 1:27
Justin Omandam sane lol
i have a axe bat :D and im getting a new one in a week to go heavier for my age
Bro bats dont even get broken in good till bout 100 hits lmao
You need to buy a better brand bat if your bat is breaking at 100hits because I have had a composite bat for 10k+ hits not even a crack
Evan Jacques 10k? That bat isn’t as good as it would be warmed up, I’d get a new bat
Need to get a heavier bat
Right most 31’s are drop 8 anything lighter is just dumb
BB Veo -8? They should all be -5 or -3
Everyone knows your supposed to hit with the logo towards you,thts why both broke
Never seen a bat break except in the majors like I could go put 500 on bat in just a couple of hours no way it should break
Why do they buy 300 400 dollar bats if they can't hit the ball to save there lives the only thing he can hit is the floor 5:10
Rawlings bats break really easily
I just don’t get why he says if the composite breaks easy it’s good
Good Catch. Let us explain.
It's not so much that if it breaks "easy" it is good. But, instead, because it breaks you know it is reaching the limit. Which means, in turn, the bat company made the bat close to the standard.

The hottest composite bats out there play a fine line between breaking and working. And if they NEVER go over the line it is likely the bat isn't very hot.
Your son needs to stay through the zone longer that’s why he hits a lot of ground balls he has a very short point of contact
As we've written about 1,000 times on this channel, we are not looking for hitting advice and this isn't a hitting channel---never claims to be. It is a bat channel about bats. But, thanks for watching!
His arm extension is crazy. Learn the basics
Jbr my son small the 5150 and the beast x which one should we get
We have the ghost x -8 and 2-5150 bats, on in a drop 10 and one in a drop 5. The 5150 bats hit just as far and sound better. Love the grip on the 5150
We talking USABats? Beast X Swings heavier and has a bigger barrel. We like two piece bats more than one piece bats, but to each his own...
Don't get the beast x USA bat it has no pop. Take it from personal experience
Can somebody explain to me what’s the difference between bbcor and USA bats ?
Whitt Joyce bbcor is heavier and has more restrictions.
Whitt Joyce bbcor is made to act like a wooden bat and usa like an aluminum or metal-composite bat
Your bats might be breaking because you are using a pitching machine. Composite bats break if you use them with a machine.
It really has to do with the balls. We don't use dimpled balls on our machine. Just normal and real baseballs.
Just bought a new air bag from your website☺️☺️
Axe bat I mean
idk whats worse... the fact that you took the time to intentionally break a bat or that horrible swing getting replayed over and over again. Sheesh my eyes fuckin hurt.
Why is he swinging a drop 10
Pycho Dad
U wanna spin the bat
Umm 500 dollar bat breakin in under 100 hits makes sense I have had Rawlings Quattro for 2 years and zero signs of breaking
As long as ur hitting the ball properly there is no possible way it’s breaking in 100 hits
I believe its because they destroyed the bat off the pitching machine instead of properly breaking it in.
I am 9 am is looking for a 29 19-20 that has a lot of pop any suggestions
and I need it a big barrel usssa
Cf zen
Marucci F5
furry pineapples those are illegal
Yes they are
In slow motion the hits sound so bad
I use a drop 8 and hit 13 homers this season
Edit- I'm 12 and play on 250 foot fields
I’m a sperm cell and I hit 500 homeruns last season I played on a 1,000 ft field
Dude was crushing the ball 😂😂
You know what MLB HOF say...If you cant hit you wont break a bat...
I HAVE THAT EXACT BAT 😮😮😮
He stays WAY to closed when he swings
Why isn’t this kid wearing a helmet
Turd Furgason I don’t where one when I am in the cage
When I know the person throwing bp I don’t wear a helmet because I trust that their not going to hit me if they fk up I just duck
Yeah I don’t think you have a good bat if it breaks in under 100 hits
If you buy a bat should it be made out of something strong not hard trash lul
Haters will hate
kid has a horrible swing, unbalanced and doesnt extend at all
jeremyfisher really? That’s good advice(lying) although no one actually fucking asked you, Jeremy.
His private batting cage is really helping.
Is that kid in little league
At the time of this video, yes.
his laugh 3:18
Mason Lawson as
lol, this dude believes that its a good comp bat if it breaks in 100 good hits. Thats for a good comp Axe bat because it tends to wear down a ton because you are hitting it on 1 side of the bat.

Why do U think pros use wood because composite bags are so exspensive and they dent and break so they use wood and also they would bomb the balls
TheMasterJarvis lmao cost is not a problem for the mlb... If they used composite bats every at bat would be a homerun... Everything you just said is wrong
Yeah, they would have to make the outfields 200 ft further back and they would still probably hit dingers
I don’t think MLB players have issues with money lmao
Your son is late he is hitting it all the time the other way thats what my dad tells me and I am doing good in gamez and cages so tell him to get the bat out quicker or setup the tee infront of home so he could he could hit it their all the time
Biscuit Plays Dont ever try to tell someone how to play the game unless you have made it to the majors. Otherwise your talking nonsense and annoying people who try to get better with ignorance
Michael Brown okay thanks for the advice
Michael Brown he's just a kid and he's actually right give him a break
Biscuit Plays yeah good advice man. Glad you're don't good in games.
Michael Brown lol that eliminates 99.9% of coaches in the world. Are you allowed to tell other people offering advice not to offer advice unless you’ve coached in the majors too?
Try to catch a ball in the hole
What balls are being used ?
Marucci bats don’t break.
I’m guessing your son is about 12-14 years old. Why in the world is he using a drop 10?! Kids that age should be using drop 5s or MAYBE drop 8s if they have a slower bat speed and are smaller. Waste of money and he won’t be prepared to swing a BBCOR in a year or two
You keep breaking bats cuz' you aren't supposed to hit balls off a machine with comp bats
Said no one ever.
