Gonna be a fun one folks - Vegas air + 25 mph winds = 50 feet of extra distance! Make sure to stay tuned at the end for exit velo numbers and our Bat Bro Scale for the ADV. We unfortunately weren't able to get exit velos on camera since we did that at the Marucci facility here in Vegas - had to sneak it in lol
I would straight up say the Adv is definitely lighter than the Voodo a lot of my teammates have Voodos and use my Adv, and say that it is, I really think so.
Glad you had fun at my school’s baseball field! Edit: by the by, you guys left quite a few baseballs in left and left center out by the warning track! Lol
the 2014 mako in a 34 has much better feeling barrel but you’re right😂 used the surge for slow pitchers to hit bombs. 2014 mako for fast pitchers to put a barrel on it easier and it would fly pretty well when ya barreled it
So the loose feeling in the connector piece is actually not suppose to be there. There's geometry in the connector that's meant to reduce feedback on the hands. It works but not for long
Over 40 years old, used to play ball when I was a kid. Don't play whatsoever anymore. I enjoy watching you guys take BP just because it feels like I'm hanging out playing ball again. Plus these bats are crazy. All we had was really crappy, ring the crap out of your hands aluminum bats and, more often, wood. I stuck with wood because I was a crappy hitter anyway, but I couldn't stand the feel of metal.
the xl1 mainly white with yellow black highlights (year prior to all yellow version, all tho that hit bombs aswell) is one of my favorites to this day Runner rups: Demarini CF3&4 Demarini overlord
Alloy/Aluminum. They last longer and are always at peak performance. Broken in composite in BBCOR is about the same as Alloy/Aluminum. So alloy/aluminum is better
New subscriber... I know you guys mostly do BBCOR bats with some wood and some UTrip sprinkled in... but I'd love to see you guys swing some USA bats... as a dad doing research on USA bats... and buying mostly online, it would be helpful to see some bats in action and hear unbiased opinions.
On these Easton bats you have to make sure the connection is solid. You could loose 10-30 ft depending on the severity of the wobble (yes it does effect performance). Curious if that Mako had a solid connection. You have to put the barrel in a vice (with a towel) and then see how much the handle moves. I have found 1/2 inch movement is too much and is not noticeable by just trying to check it by hand with no vice. The connection can be fixed.
I got the ADV and after one summer season I started noticing a split. Have to pop it back in every time I hit a ball. Still using it and carrying into my highschool season so it still works.
I recently had to replace my ADV. It’s a great bat, but the durability SUCKS. Max 7 months before the 2 piece connected comes apart. I’ve broken 2 ADVs within the span of 11 months.
Back in highschool I used a 34/31 mako and it wasn’t a forgiving bat but when I would catch the sweet spot, man it would just drop tanks! But love your vids bro!
@@baseballbatbros yea I’m only 15 so only been swinging bbcor for a couple years, but now I’m swinging the nuke and it’s phenomenal so that’s definitely my preferred bat
@@bigboibrad455 my friend had it I couldn’t swing it at the time it was a really endloaded 33/30 but it sounded insane it was this dull crack sound and the ball flew
I see how you don’t like the mako to much, you guys are older guys and got more strength, for middle school and some high school players this bat is amazing, it’s light and you can still hit some nice shots
@@keegan6270 is it good, I have one and I have a 31/28 stringking metal pro 1 and a 32/29 cat8 but the cat 8 feels heavy, so I'm thinking about using the mako until the cat8 doesn't feel too heavy
I remember almost everyone on my ‘14 select team had a Mako. It was just me and one other person who had a Velo (the grey one way back then) and I had a 5150 and all of em rather would’ve used our bats lol
The green non torque 2016 mako is the opposite it is more heavy ended and that bat hits absolute NUKES you guys should put the contact one up against the power one
The 2020 adv was a lot better than the 2021 version. Kinda like the meta they made the newer one worse. I honestly think the adv was a good competitor for the meta.

I'll give you guys my 1995 black magic just for fun, this bat is Savage.
To get their attention I would recommend messaging them on social media
They responded quick when I DMd them a question
@@zackgimon9693 nice, what was it?
@@henryprice7817 thanks Brotha
@@henryprice7817 asked them a comparison between 2 bats, they haven’t made a vid on it
Try this again in drop 5, mako is one of the goats in -5
Bro that bat was So good.
There is no such thing as a drop 5 mako 😂
@@weedisc8916 lol you really don’t know haha.
@@Crazy_Cane you obviously don’t because that’s not a thing

The good old easton wobble. We used to love it with old school easton stealths. That meant they were about to open up
Video idea: ADV vs CF in both USSSA and BBCOR. That would be sick
Imo the ADV would smoke the CF in BBCOR and vice versa in USSSA.
the 2014 mako in a 34 has much better feeling barrel but you’re right😂 used the surge for slow pitchers to hit bombs. 2014 mako for fast pitchers to put a barrel on it easier and it would fly pretty well when ya barreled it
when we getting the -5 XL1 and -5 green zen
I absolutely loved my 2014 Mako back when I was about 14 years old
Please do the Easton Ghost X!

When hitting with a mako that has been hit with for years, the sweet spot is huge! Although it does sting the hands the ball flies like crazy.
Quick question: what's better in bbcor, composite or alloy/aluminum
Alloy/Aluminum. They last longer and are always at peak performance. Broken in composite in BBCOR is about the same as Alloy/Aluminum. So alloy/aluminum is better

My son's drop 5 ADV did the same thing. Lasted for 3 more months and 1000+ swings after the separation of the connector piece.
Love the content guys, keep up the hard work. I can't believe how far you've come in such little time!
Gotta get the full orange mako -3, it’s not as balanced, a little end heavy
You mean the xl1
I got the ADV and after one summer season I started noticing a split. Have to pop it back in every time I hit a ball. Still using it and carrying into my highschool season so it still works.
The little league mako flashbacks that thing was terrifying to see
Dude that alarm in the beginning scared the hell out of me I thought it was one of my alarms for baseball.
You should do a bad madness with old goated BBCORS. Like the mako and the voodoo and other old bats.
Boys you gotta try the Mizuno Hot Metal B21 (2021 Edition)!!!! The thing rips balls.. would be a great video
Can you guys swing the axe composite? Also could you do axe pro/pwr handle vs standard axe handle? Thanks
I thought the drop 5 2015 Easton was the one considered to be one of the goats.
Gotta love the sound of a composite bat
I’ve had that same problem with 3 Easton bats, and it’s the reason why I stopped using them
Let's GOOOO!!! 150K!! Well deserved you guys keep up the great content!!
Should I get the 33 goods or the 33 voodoo 1 ?
Can we get 2021 CF vs a CF3 or newer composites like Cf6 CF7
Im looking for a new drop 5 bat and i came down to the zen. In your preference which one is better 2021 Zen drop 5 or 2020 zen drop 5?
YOU DID MY REQUEST I LOVE U GUYS SM!!! I was Matt Kraus on insta I had the surge and 2014 mako! My day is made
I have the same problem barrel loose even the barrel is starting to come off with the ADV but feel wise I love it and it hits the ball hard
Congrats on 150k boys!! Love the content! Keep up the great work!
You can just bang the connector piece back into place, I have an Easton ghost evolution. Just bang it on home plate a bit and it bends back into place
I got the nuke cuz of your channels reviews and it goes beyond the hype thanks for your input and reviews it’s awesome.
what wood bat an you hit the farthest with bit it still being light?
I have the ADV and i have only had it for 2 months, but the connector piece is already starting to fall off can anyone tell me why?
So Trace isn't in camp with the A's? I keep looking on ESPN box score after the games, to see if he get in or not. Haven't seen his name at all
Do you guys think that the zen is the king of exit velo in the USSSA world, or would another bat upset it?
I love how easy it is to swing . I'm a contact 230-240 ft line drive hitter
I recently had to replace my ADV. It’s a great bat, but the durability SUCKS. Max 7 months before the 2 piece connected comes apart. I’ve broken 2 ADVs within the span of 11 months.
You can’t do batting practice with it if you are
literally always lookin for a new vid, these guys know how to put together some fire content
Also the mako is $50 vs $450
Love you guys!!! Should I get a stinger wood bat or Louisville slugger?
Hello. Great video. Heave you guys ever featured the Louisville Slugger 918 Prime bbcor? I believe it would fair well. 👍
I have the Easton adv bbcor and the drop five Easton adv 360 and the barrel on it wiggled and then the connected just broke
can you guys review the 2022 axe elite pro
Can I get a 2015 Mako Torq vs something?
Back in highschool I used a 34/31 mako and it wasn’t a forgiving bat but when I would catch the sweet spot, man it would just drop tanks! But love your vids bro!
I love how Will always subtracts like 5-10 feet when he edits the videos with text on screen. Something about it seems so humble to me lol
I remember the old mako when you pulled up to the park and that team had the bat especially the big kid it was almost lights out
Would like to see a day in the gym episode. Squat, press, bench, deadlift? Thats all thats needed?
Post the next Wood Bat Madness video, or else!
Seriously though, great video as always guys. Love the never ending content!
Is the ADV stiff?
That mako sounds great and is rly nice to swing, someone on my team has it and it’s great in like every aspect, at least for me
It’s a solid bat for a younger BBCOR guy, but we liked the ADV better
@@baseballbatbros yea I’m only 15 so only been swinging bbcor for a couple years, but now I’m swinging the nuke and it’s phenomenal so that’s definitely my preferred bat
The black z-core with the orange stripe was the best bbcor easton made. After a lot of rounds in the cage, the ring broke down and the bat got hotter.
I had those same problem other the connector piece on my -8 black Easton mako beast xl. I loved that bat even with the bad connector piece.
See if you can find an old CF4 ST and compare it to some of the newer bats in the lineup. That bat was a KING
Try the 2016 mako xl it’s an endloaded version
Speaking true facts it hits NUKES
@@bigboibrad455 my friend had it I couldn’t swing it at the time it was a really endloaded 33/30 but it sounded insane it was this dull crack sound and the ball flew
Idk if they made these in bbcor, but even if you get your hands on a drop 5. The original black Mako Beast
They did make a bbcor one I don’t know if it’s good tho
The beast was great I smacked 6 hr during freshman year with it
@@matthewgray1115 I hit 5 homeruns with the drop 10 version when I was like 12 but I’m in high school now lol it was a beast
Could y’all do the 2017 Easton beast xl
I had the adv but my connector piece came off and it broke
Try the raid. Bat got slept on a lot but has a lot of head weight for bat speed
The 917 always wobbles too my fiend had one that you could literally turn the barrel around with your hand but it still mashed so it didn’t matter
My adv has done that 2 times with that connector. It still hits great
You guys should do a review on the 2017 easton Ghost X bbcor two piece composite
I see how you don’t like the mako to much, you guys are older guys and got more strength, for middle school and some high school players this bat is amazing, it’s light and you can still hit some nice shots
Can you do the usa adv vs the orange 2015 mako
My friends connector piece is completely disconnected and slides when you swing
4:39( Wind howling in the background) subtitles: (music).
Easton Omen and XL1 made those sounds too. Couple of my favs!
For this bat being way heavier to what I’m was using at the time it was surprisingly easy to swing and to make contact
I finally found someone else who uses the Mako, at least I'm assuming you were talking about the mako
@@Bronx_Bombers2799 yea I was
@@keegan6270 is it good, I have one and I have a 31/28 stringking metal pro 1 and a 32/29 cat8 but the cat 8 feels heavy, so I'm thinking about using the mako until the cat8 doesn't feel too heavy
@@Bronx_Bombers2799 yea it is decent I definitely think it is good for a while cause like in the video if you hit it right on the barrel it is a bomb
Yall should do the Mako Beast vs the ADV
Especially the inverted one the all orange and the white strip so many memories
Have you done old green Easton vs new green Easton yet?
I got a Easton ADV last year and it broke last week, never been so sad. Now I gotta find a good bat again 😢
How many swings do you take a week?
Probably about 300
Can you try the majority beast bbcor
I remember almost everyone on my ‘14 select team had a Mako. It was just me and one other person who had a Velo (the grey one way back then) and I had a 5150 and all of em rather would’ve used our bats lol
I like the lower pitch. Hate loud ping
Hopefully Rawlings and Easton can cook up some solid bats for 2022
I have the Mako Im a smaller player I don’t hit for power so it works for me
Is the 2015 mako still legal
You guys should honestly try tater bats. Their a small company, but in my opinion the bats are great!
Will saying that 25 mph wind is howling me from Kansas knowing that's about the norm here
Me and all my homies love the voodoo 1
Had a friend that couldn’t get a donut off his ADV and when he smacked it on the knob the connector collapsed
That's hilarious, obviously not for him though
It's called a "telescoping handle" first happened with the Worth Mutant slow pitch bats. Easy fix with gorilla glue or epoxy.
The green non torque 2016 mako is the opposite it is more heavy ended and that bat hits absolute NUKES you guys should put the contact one up against the power one
Can you please use the ghost x
How Trace isn't in the Majors yet 🤯 love his swing 🤙
can u do the cf zen 2021 bbcor vs voodoo one bbcor
The 2020 adv was a lot better than the 2021 version. Kinda like the meta they made the newer one worse. I honestly think the adv was a good competitor for the meta.
