I bought a Demarini NewBreed Mid Load bat for my first ever composite bat bc it was on sale. This thing just killed the softball, in a bad way, when I would hit it well on the sweet spot. After breaking it in. It came with the wrapper from a reputable seller online too. When it was hit it would have this deadening sound to it. Any other bat I used did insanely better. Now I bought the 2022 Miken DeMarini KP23 26 ounce on sale for 100 bucks and it flies off the barrel! Looking back I should've returned the NewBreed bat since it was under the warranty still. My point is that composites can also be dead even after breaking down the composite fibers through usage.
I love the advice for the coaches, on the money. Kids place a lot of confidence in their batting in their bats. I think it's a coping mechanism. Do mess with the batting ju ju.
hey i have a bat and it was perfectly fine and then it was like weakening all of a sudden and it sounds like tiny pebbles inside the barrel but it’s still ok but not as good as before
What if the barrel has a very slight wobble on a 2 piece composite? I have an Easton ADV 360. Any harm if I put epoxy glue between the connection piece and barrel?
help 🙏, mine has like somewhat deep scratches and like 3 little chips in some spots 😭i sound dramatic but ima get whooped if i broke it. it sounds hot tho
My bbcor 2016 mako makes a ping noise instead of the usual *clack* of a composite bat so basically my composite bat sounds like it's aluminum so idk if it's not fully broken in or if its just supposed to sound like...can anyone help my out?
The umpire don't throw every bat out that rattles. It's their discretion. When it rattles, the composite is just breaking down(the bat is getting hotter) unless it's new and it rattles, send it back.
So you say a composite wont break on the inside and then a minute later say if you hear something rattling around on the inside it may be broken. Officially confused. Well, not really as its in your best interest to do less returns as a guy who works for a company that sells bats.
Just got a wooden Louisville slugger prime and after swinging for a day the very next day I swung and a part of the bat chipped off the barrel, what do I do?
can anyone tell me if my bat is dead? i have a easton s500 2014 model and it used to have a ping sound and now it sounds like a wood bat and when i hit the knob on the ground i feel vibrations even on the sweet spot. i have been using this bat every week in the cages that uses yellow dimple balls for the past two years. is it dead?
can anyone tell me if my slowoitch bat "combat the duke" us broken.. seems to have a small sounds in side almost like a small ball... now it sounds like a big marble in there... was fine when hitting grounders but when I began to do bp it began to feel weird when hitting and making a really strange sounds....
Julio Aguirre same thing happened to me it is the endcap glue that fell off it’s no big deal but if you are able to take the end cap off and get it out it helps
As mad max recommends. If u love the game Invest in a quality batting tea and a bucket of ball ; then go out there and figure out if it's really the bat or you.
im 12 and my bat just broke on the handle when I hit the ball and I was like O_O........OH MY BAT JUST BROKE the ball hit the two piece then broke in the knob of the bat and the knob didn't come off it was part of the handle like 75% of it
LAD Fan yes but it's still not good to hit with them but it is a lot better to use than composite and it's really not gonna damage an alloy bat so yes you can use it but I wouldn't use a new one I would use an old bat for those that's what I do
FALSE, if you own a composite bat and it rattles a bit inside it is far from dead and still has a long lifespan, just some pieces of the barrell walls came off from hard hits. the best is yet to come
I have a bat that's snapped in half completely. Is the bad dead or defective? If not, I have a bottle of superglue.
Try duck tape, glue and glitter
TheBig Baller my demarini CF7 broke in half
Dead
Decapitaded
Godbless man 🤣 I’m not sure if it’s dead
The most honest review regarding ball equipment that I've seen. Love it!
My Easton mako has a like a. 1 inch crack but I just use the other side of it and it is still great
I had i bat crack and I hit more home runs with that bat than any other bat after it cracked
So there is a rattling noise on the inside of my bat. It still hits pretty hard I just dont know if i should keep using it what does this mean?

Thank you so much for this video ive been paranoid lately about my bat being dead but now i dont think it is you really saved me a lot of stress
Max, the message to the coaches is awesome.
i have this problem on my ghost x (ive had it for about 5 months) where there’s a wobble between the handle and the barrel and i dont know what to do
Bryan Ramirez SAMEEEEE BROOOO
what did u end up doing? cause my bat feels the same
@@purgatory6683 dude this comment was from a year ago

My bat is dead it has the usa stamp on it
USA bats are meant to be dead
my endcap came of, and then i hit 2 homeruns in a game
aint no way
Can the end cap area of a new composite bat sound different ? Sounds flat and has a ping. Maybe needs more breaking in?
the handle completely came off from the barrel on my cf7
whenever my mall hits the ground it sounds dull. is it defective?
suggestion , maybe have a couple bats as examples to explain
hey i have a bat and it was perfectly fine and then it was like weakening all of a sudden and it sounds like tiny pebbles inside the barrel but it’s still ok but not as good as before
Just a question how long would you say a composite bat would last
Around 2 seasons mainly depending how hard u hit and how fast the pitchers are
Bounce the knob (alloy) on concrete. Low pitch sound = dead
delcy28 the bottom of the bat ?
Yes, I guess that would be bottom. Just do it gently. You should hear a high pitch sound if the bat still has life.
delcy28 that's only on aluminum bats. composites don't have a ping to them
That's why I have ALLOY in ( ). Thanks.
Not always. Anderson bats are alloy but don't have the high pitch ping as they are multi walled.
Why can u buy replacement caps
If my CXN connecter piece is coming loose, would that make the bat dead?
What if the barrel has a very slight wobble on a 2 piece composite? I have an Easton ADV 360. Any harm if I put epoxy glue between the connection piece and barrel?
My Fungo bat has lost its pop !
With my mako beast it looks likes the weight is moving during my swing. Is it broken?
I have an 2016 Easton Mako and when I shake it there is a rattling noise. No matter what if there is a rattling noise then the bat is dead?
help 🙏, mine has like somewhat deep scratches and like 3 little chips in some spots 😭i sound dramatic but ima get whooped if i broke it. it sounds hot tho
I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF DOZEN COMPOSITE BATS OVER THE YEARS WITH THOUSAND OF HITS ON THEM !! I HAVE ONLY CRACKED ONE BAT, THE ORIGINAL MIKEN ULTA !!!
lol but I live in Alaska.
On my endcap i saw 2 small holes, is it something bad?
My bbcor 2016 mako makes a ping noise instead of the usual *clack* of a composite bat so basically my composite bat sounds like it's aluminum so idk if it's not fully broken in or if its just supposed to sound like...can anyone help my out?
KrustyCinema bbcor bats are supposed to sound like that, because of the length to weight ratio.
The umpire don't throw every bat out that rattles. It's their discretion. When it rattles, the composite is just breaking down(the bat is getting hotter) unless it's new and it rattles, send it back.
a umpire threw my one peice alloy bat out for rattle
I found this 2013 cf5 and the end cap is cracked , can I get it fixed or is done for good?
You can get another end cap and put it on the bat. Bad thing is, now it is altered.
So you say a composite wont break on the inside and then a minute later say if you hear something rattling around on the inside it may be broken. Officially confused. Well, not really as its in your best interest to do less returns as a guy who works for a company that sells bats.

My Easton mako isn't hitting hard as it used to.Any solutions

My cf5 makes a buzz noise when you drop it on the grass, what do you think is going on
+JAKay GRoNger that happens with it
im 12 and my bat just broke on the handle when I hit the ball and I was like O_O........OH MY BAT JUST BROKE the ball hit the two piece then broke in the knob of the bat and the knob didn't come off it was part of the handle like 75% of it
Can I epoxy my son's 2 piece it is collapsing inside barrel but I wouldn't say it's dead cause he has been killing it.HELP PLZ
Did you end up using epoxy?
I don't have a bat but they are funny animals
My combat maxum 2016 sounds extremely dead...
+Parker Meek oh shit i just orderd it
+nba-csgo it's actually not dead it just sounds weird before you break it in
my Maxum bat has a rattling sound inside bat sounds like sand
+G Lopez it's probably cracked and something fell in... I recently cracked mine and sent it back for a new one.
How do i go about sending it back ive only used it in 3 games and that happened. Very disappointed and i lost receipt.
Are yellow dimple balls from the batting cages bad for your bat? Its a rumor I've heard
LAD Fan very bad for composite
What about alloy?
LAD Fan yes but it's still not good to hit with them but it is a lot better to use than composite and it's really not gonna damage an alloy bat so yes you can use it but I wouldn't use a new one I would use an old bat for those that's what I do
My freaking 2015 bbcor mako cracked from the barrel to the cxn separator I was pissed I'm getting a demarini Voodoo insane or the cf insane
Blake Mosley if you are get the cf their way better than the voodoo but maybe you used it in freezing weather
KrustyCinema it was at a tournament 80 degrees I've never used it in freezing temperatures when it was to cold I bring the good old Woody lol
and I would like to get the cf insane but the bat rules might change in 2018 and it also says that they might ban composite barrels
this is absolutely wrong composite bats do break from inside out.They start cracking on inside before they break on outside..
No they don’t.
Why does he scream at the start
Can I have a ghost x orange for free 31 inch I use my friends bats
