i think it has great pop and swing weight but the sweet spot is not it for me, near the end cap is dead and near the hands is not good at all, atlas is much better imo. My bat could just be dead as well but that’s my opinion
Picked up a few Stringking pro 2s at the College World Series booth this year. They are pretty popular on my sons team and at that price they are a steal!!!
Yeah, just seeing how he hammers those balls, revives my feeling of BP and seeing, feeling and hearing smashing balls deep into the sky right through that sweet spot, you immediately know you hit that good.
Value is subjective and will vary from person to person. Considering how fragile some bats can be, a durability score would be useful. Though it would be pretty hard for Will&Co to actually get accurate data about something like that without access to bat company info like warranty claims and Will has already made it clear he doesn't want to jeopardize the perceived integrity of his reviews by having a relationship with the companies whose product/s he's reviewing. Realistically, the BB scale covers everything it reasonably can.
First, best channel ever. I'm a travel coach (my last season) and I watch every BBCOR video you make. However, I think it may be time to adjust the scale a bit based on swing weight. I don't think many 15U guys can swing an end-loaded bat unless they're legit units. And I know this is a lot of work as my day job is literally running web and RUclips for a big company...but I think it's time to separate the light bats from the end-loaded bats and put them in separate lists. OR, maybe a light, mid, and end-loaded rankings. My son is 15 and at 5'10" 160 lbs, I want the lightest bat with the most pop for him. a 17U kid is probably bigger and stronger and would gravitate towards a more end-loaded bat. Just a suggestion from an older guy that is obsessed with this sport...and your channel.
One of the things I like the most about these reviews is Will's encyclopedic knowledge of bats. Having hit with so many, it is a great pleasure to see different bats mentioned in comparison to the bat at hand and that's no small thing. Thanks for another great video and thanks for what you do.
Stinger Guardian is a beast!!! My son's college banger. Big sweet spot and plenty of power to put it over the fence. Amazon is currently selling the Guardian BBCOR in a bunch of different colorways for $199. An outrageous bargain.
Stinger Guardian + Lizard Skin Flared Taper + Lizard Skin 1.8mm grip = 24/30 bat (7 Sweet Spot, 10 Power, 7 Swingweight). Swingweight goes down dramatically, and makes it feel whippy, almost exactly like a Bonesaber, but it still has the pop and a much bigger sweet spot. Guardian comes with a skinny handle and thin knob that makes it feel more endloaded than necessary. Extra Taper + Thicker Grip is the answer. Give it a try.
Great video Will. I have been waiting for your thumbs up before I customized and bought a bat. I wanted this bat to be good, I have three different 44 gloves and they are great. Can't wait to hit this!
reminds me of a bat i used to have. The Rawlings Velo 2017 Model. Super balanced bat but the sweet spot was a bit weird for me. It has th e exact same sound as the 44 Bat does
Curious to see a value/durability/life expectancy scale for some bats that you guys review. Bats are expensive for how few swings you can truly get out of them, so affordability takes a hit in that manner.
I appreciate the fact that it's customizable to a level similar to a wood bat and that's likely why the lead times are similar I haven't handled it yet, but I'm assuming they went with a barrel diameter of either 2.60" or 66.5mm instead of the 2.625" aka 2 5/8". Why they did this? Idk. Their overseas manufacturer might've been working in metrics or they wanted wiggle room with the tolerances. Since the bats are custom painted, it's a benefit to go a bit smaller. How this translates to performance? It has 0 effect on contact rates and because it's bbcor, the effect on compression is negligible. Slowpitch bats are 2.25" thick and they have more pop and sweet spot than any bbcor ever
Maybe change the boxes to numbers. Power should be Max EV and Average EV for each bat. Swing weight should be the weight number exact to the hundredth, but an outline of a bat where the weight is. Red is hot for more weight, blue for less. So it is barrel heavy then red color on the barrel. Or red on the handle. The sweet spot should also be a bat outline, to show how much of the barrel is the sweet spot.
We were at a Cal hitting clinic and they had a Rawlings Clout that seemed pretty nice. Had a millions swings on it, so somebody clearly has been using it. That claimed it was an unreleased demo, but it looks like it's only $250 on a couple sites. Maybe worth a review?
Hey Will. Why do you think that the Easton Ghost X 30/20 is banned? It’s been banned since 2018. I’ve been seeing it in the little league games a lot lately.
Here’s a video idea get a 33 and 34 of the same bat but make an inch long puck knob on the 34 on see which is a better option since no one makes a puck bbcor
Stringking deserves an updated review tbh. Been gaming it over my catx, feel like you could probably get some higher velos with it now.
I love my Stringking
i think it has great pop and swing weight but the sweet spot is not it for me, near the end cap is dead and near the hands is not good at all, atlas is much better imo. My bat could just be dead as well but that’s my opinion
I’ve been doing the opposite. I just benched the stringking and the catx is my gamer.
Been thinking about getting a string king for my son. Second year of baseball. He’s 10 don’t want to drop 350.00 for a bat but want something solid.
Picked up a few Stringking pro 2s at the College World Series booth this year. They are pretty popular on my sons team and at that price they are a steal!!!
Your channel is so addictive. For an over the hill old man that loves and misses playing baseball I love it. Keep it up
Yeah, just seeing how he hammers those balls, revives my feeling of BP and seeing, feeling and hearing smashing balls deep into the sky right through that sweet spot, you immediately know you hit that good.
Have you guys considered adding "value" to the bat bro scale? As these bats start to get closer to each other it might be helpful.
great suggestion tbh that would be great

wdym value?
One could argue it's all subjective...
@@1uckedouttheir entire rating system is subjective. At least price is quantifiable.
I am not sure why it is so entertaining for me to watch all your videos of you swinging bats, but man… I can’t get enough of them!

Bro, price to performance this bat is FIRE! Absolutely sick, make bats $200 again!
2011, 2013, 2014 Easton S4 - all had 2 1/2 barrel diameters. Meant to replicate a wood bat and make a lower MOI... Have a few 33's and 34's!
the way the ball moved at 3:54 😂
knuckle ball😹
Found this on YT shorts
It’s the only way I could find it
Same

Interesting barrel profile for the 44 pro. I'd love to see you do a review of the 2023 Rawlings 5150 (if possible).
Absolutely love the drone or high up angle of the roof. So fire

My son has almost that exact setup on his Stinger Guardian, although we're using some generic no-name taper.
He loves the leverage it gives his swing.
They're offering $50 off this weekend if you've purchased a glove. $200 bbcor is solid!
Love the videos at night under the lights
Haven’t played in years, yet it’s the only channel I follow religiously
Great video Will. I have been waiting for your thumbs up before I customized and bought a bat. I wanted this bat to be good, I have three different 44 gloves and they are great. Can't wait to hit this!
Found this on a short before it was on your main page
Have you reviewed the rawings 5150 yet. Been wanting to get the 2023!!
Love the new drone shots
reminds me of a bat i used to have. The Rawlings Velo 2017 Model. Super balanced bat but the sweet spot was a bit weird for me. It has th e exact same sound as the 44 Bat does
Similar to the old Velos forsure
Design is very minimal but with the right colors this could be drippy 🔥🔥🔥
You have a great swing. Nice job with your channel.
yo i love your vids, currently heading into 14u and I have used your channel to get the best bat possible for my build, thank you!
Big fan of 44 so I’ll grab one for batting practice
We NEED bat madness back!!!
Cool you can customize the colors
3:54- that ball danced around so hard. Imagine that thing coming at you knuckling like that. Knock you onto your heels lol
@The Baseball Bat Bros. @Will, my son wants your batting gloves! They look sick with the new Atlas!
Curious to see a value/durability/life expectancy scale for some bats that you guys review. Bats are expensive for how few swings you can truly get out of them, so affordability takes a hit in that manner.
yo that swing at 3:52 had that ball moving like Dickeys best
3:55 literal perfect contact it knuckled
The baseball @3:52 moved so much
Will has the best bp drip ever
It would be nice to know the difference between a 32,33,34” if the barrel is actually bigger or is the handle just longer?
Found one for $60 barely used. Seems like I got a deal. Feels great. Easy to swing.
I just bought this bat
I appreciate the fact that it's customizable to a level similar to a wood bat and that's likely why the lead times are similar

You guys must spend a fortune on baseballs!😂 Been watching his videos since day 1!! ❤
The ball at 3:53 curved so wildly
Knuckleball
Which bat do you recommend for 13u ball?
You're helping lots of young baseball players make a decision so they don't waste money on a bat they don't need.
The knuckle on that ball is crazy 3:50
Maybe change the boxes to numbers. Power should be Max EV and Average EV for each bat. Swing weight should be the weight number exact to the hundredth, but an outline of a bat where the weight is. Red is hot for more weight, blue for less. So it is barrel heavy then red color on the barrel. Or red on the handle. The sweet spot should also be a bat outline, to show how much of the barrel is the sweet spot.
Thx for these videos, they have really helped in picking out bats. My select pwr just came.
My sons custom atlas took 10 weeks. I think it was due to the switch over from the gen 1 with the breaking issues
2:40 when he starts hitting balls since that really only thing people are looking for
Will you guys be reviewing the Eason rope? Was hoping to see a review before buying the bat.
I love all of your vids
Do the bonesaber vs alloy xp, 🎉🎉🎉
MAV1 review next👀
Where can I get one of the barrel rings at?
Any see that knuckleball at 3:54 ?
3:51 the ball was moving crazy
We need a sneaker collection video. I always see heat while you’re hitting in videos.
That ball is hammered.
Why the radio for the rapsodo?
Somehow I just subscribed, been watching yalls vids for so long haha. That one’s on me boys, my b
I need a -5 bat with durability and pop with good swing weight any suggestions? Mine is DEAD
44 is def worth it I have one and you do not notice the barrel being slightly smaller in diameter it has insane pop
Should I get it for 139 right now?
i dont even play baseball, but i sure do enjoy this channel!!
Idk if I would put the 44 at max power. Just comparing it to the atlas it just didn’t go as far
Yeah, was pretty shocked to see that.
Do a vid on the catx vanta
I'd like to see more comments about bats that fit "contact" hitters vs power hitters.
Will you guys be reviewing the Mav1???
soldier tank review plsssss. supposedly the hottest bbcor out rn
you're my fav channel
Easton used to have an S3 BBCOR or it might've been the S4 that was 2 1/2 inch barrel
Dang didn’t realize the full video was on the short! I’m late!
You need a driver / golf spin off channel. Somebody striping 325 yarders with Calloway, TM, etc
3:53 crazy knuckle on that ball
We were at a Cal hitting clinic and they had a Rawlings Clout that seemed pretty nice. Had a millions swings on it, so somebody clearly has been using it. That claimed it was an unreleased demo, but it looks like it's only $250 on a couple sites. Maybe worth a review?
Hey Will. Why do you think that the Easton Ghost X 30/20 is banned? It’s been banned since 2018. I’ve been seeing it in the little league games a lot lately.
We need to see wills sneaker collection 🔥🔥
Seriously
just found this on shorts 😅
Whats your favorite bat over all? Hyp fire?
Review the Louisville slugger 617 again. Been popping up in college and I’ve heard many say it’s better than the select pwr
Will, where can I get the barrel rings at?
Thanks for the vid. Can we get some of the 2024 Meta review
2:14 y’all used the picture of my bat
Yoooooo that knuckle was crazy
So you think this bat would be good for just a practice bat so I don’t overuse my game bat?
When is the Mav1 review coming out?
Here’s a video idea get a 33 and 34 of the same bat but make an inch long puck knob on the 34 on see which is a better option since no one makes a puck bbcor
bat bros, iyo (in your opinion) atlas, bonesbr hybrid, or select pwr for new highschooler?
Hey buddy! Do a review on the BBCOR Easton Mav1.
When will we see a review of the Easton Mav 1?
When the vid about the new Easton bats coming out? 44 always be drippy
Try the Soldier Tank! I have been hearing about it and I want to know if it’s good.
3:52 that ball knuckled all over the place
Thanks for the videos!
Can you do the CarX vanta connect two piece review
What bbcor drop 3 bat I should get that’s durable and good and your videos are really cool
I’ve been waiting for this review
Mine comes in, in about a week
3:52 look how the ball moves lol
whos calling the exit velos?? I've always wanted to know
Bat Bro Wife
it seems like its a good bat for speed/contact hitters
