Underrated aspect of their videos: they throw great BP
Well they probably cut the bad throws
@@rjheller459 yeah
Would like but 69 likes
The best BP
Ohtani could have used one of these guys in the home run derby. :P
“What up what up” never gets old😂
Fax
It's wad up what up fr
Respect for giving us a warning
I still jumped.
@@wbazzel96 same
Still flinched
Never watched a 30 minute video about knobs… but i’m here for it.
The evolution of JT has been astounding. Dudes been putting some work in, behind the scenes. Keep grinding dawg!
dudes gonna be raking out of juco and i could see him easily getting drafted by the time he is done with college
This is what Will should’ve named the knobs:
1. The Standard Knob
2. The No Knob
3. The Bell Knob
4. The Axe Knob
5. The McNob
6. The ProXR Knob
7. The ProXR Mini Knob
😂
McNob - that’s gold
My grandson, age 10, has only used Axe handle bats. About a year ago, I bought him a wood youth DTB axe handle bat. Recently, I purchased the identical bat, but with a ProRX handle. While still early for comparisons, he so far prefers the axe handle. Is it true that you’re supposed to face the label to the pitcher with the ProRX handle. If so, we’ve been doing it incorrectly.
@@edcampbell8176 yeah you are supposed to face the label towards the pitcher the way the bat sits in your hand allows you to get such good extension. Keeps your barrel in the zone longer and helps level some people’s swings out
Sounds like some sort of McDonald's food lol
@@edcampbell8176 yep you hold it at a quarter turn unlike the axe handle
Great video. The fact I can watch dudes hit BP for 35 mins shows how dope y’all are
I could probably fall asleep to this video cause it's so calming with the nice cracks of the wood bat and occasional bird chirping in the background. Relaxing.
I've always wanted one of those McNeil knob DTB bats!
So call them up and get one 👍
"That almost got me!"
...Will don't care.
My son loved the no knob on his Bonesaber so much I had to put a flare adapter on his new Cat9 Comp. He loves the no knob. Great video guys
Roberto Clemente swung a No knob 34" between 36-40 oz according to Hillerich & Bradsby/Louisville Slugger. G.O.A.T. ! Great knowledge bombs and video!
There’s something so soothing about watching some nice swings hit dingers
You guys should try Joey Gallo’s knob, I noticed it during the home run derby
Gallo’s knob is just a traditional knob with a little extra wood at the end to add some balance to the swing weight.
@@MrDude667 it looks rly weird lol
yeah, as a padres fan i've seen eric hosmer swing it too. theres also a pretty cool article featuring it at www.whatproswear.com/baseball/news/whos-swinging-what-at-the-hr-derby-shohei-ohtanis-bat-joey-gallos-bat/
@@MrDude667 he has the same one as travis darnaud i’m pretty sure
Love your channel dude’s. The sound of the funky pro xr is amazing.
YESSSSSS!!!!!! Thank you Will, I almost gave up on the DTB video.
I think I speak for everyone when I say I’m happy jt is back and no cast on his arm
The Brothers would love the Cooperstown Bat 3/4 knobs. It takes the winning no-knobs (plus many other knobs) and shaves one side to alleviate pressure on the hamate bone.
Watched the ads for y’all to do more vids like this, every little bit helps, keep up the great work
Really enjoyed this video, especially the bit that explained why you don’t see many tapered metal bats. Was researching how to make my 9-year-olds handle more comfortable and came across this video. Super helpful and we are going to try adding a taper to his bat. Wish bat tapers were more common knowledge so it hadn’t taken us so long to even realize you don’t have to suffer with the traditional knob you get on most little league metal bats. For some reason, after market tapers appear to be a lot more common and talked about in softball. Maybe girls are just more willing to admit the traditional knob hurts and then do something about it!
IL be in town in a
The feeling after you hit an oppo shot with a wood bat is amazing
Was just looking at these bats
Its pretty cool I just mentioned this bat company a couple nights ago and now they got 7 of them
Minute and a half in...and already gotta say this vid gonna be 🔥🔥! All birch too!! Let's Gooo!!
Wife just walked in on this conversation about knobs.....she slowly backed out of the room giggling. "Yeah, that knob feels pretty good"
Love this, very underrated brothers here and very underrated part of the bat! Them swings look pretty
Thanks bro!
Finally some DTB's !! Niiiiice .... Now we need to see some DTB model comparisons / reviews ... Maybe regular vs. "super dense" ... Please & TY :)
I could listen to this all day
these knobs, the comfort knob was my 8th grade "invention"...I made it and made this thing that applied to aluminum Easton bats...I called it the "Educated Heel"...lol, but this was like 1990...nice
You should do a review of a dinger wood bat, they have custom wood bats for $115 and stock bats for $85, I love the videos and keep up the good work
Hey Bat Bros I’m a college commit and love your guys swings and energy I would love to take hacks with you guys and experience such a time!!!
My Mets got a lotta love in this vid 👍👍
Y’all are the best!!
Love this channel
A USSSA bat madness would be heat, love the content!!!
Went to school with Pete Alonso. Very nice guy. Also your friends lefty swing is so satisfying to watch.
The “George springer activate” hit 🔥
We need this exact video with old school Late 1990s early 2000s metal bats.
You guys couldn't upload quick enough for me. I'm obsessed with this channel. I don't even play baseball anymore (28 and long out of college), just like watching good batting practice I guess.
Me too I just watch to see what the new bats are looking like plus these guys absolutely rake
I was hoping for a better showing for the Bell Knob haha I'm using a B45 Cargo5 with bell knob and love it!
The standard and axe knob are my two favorites
Great video! Very underrated!
So hyped for the reviews on the 22 goods III and voodoo one. Paint looks sick, can’t wait to see how well they preform too
Love you guyssss keep it up!!!
Liked instantly. Let's get it started 💪💪
JT throwing it back with the 2kfilth! Dope
Been waiting forever for this video
dude im hooked on your videos
I don’t know why I’ve never seen this knob on another bat, but the Baum Bat knob is super nice
Instead of athletic tape, I've been "no knobbing" metal bats for a minute with hockey tape, then putting the wrap on over it. The hockey tape is thicker and the bat wrap sticks to it better.
At last the video I’ve been waiting for.
Was waiting for this vid
I agree the knob is vital to a baseball bat. Every wood bat company in the world should offer any knob for any bat. Anyways I am trying to get a hold of you, but don’t have social media. I got an amazing idea that you can help with that could turn into a great business.
Absolutely bro! Feel free to shoot us an email thebaseballbatbros@gmail.com
You can get the pro XR in an aluminum bat now from dovetail
Lizard skin makes some nice rubber tapers you can put under the grip that are only about $6-9. A little more than do it yourself with athletic tape but another easy option if you don't have a taper on your favorite bat.
The Velo slaps FTW! Would love to see a colab with Eric Sim!
Great video!
i use a standard knob but have a thick bat grip on it to thicken it up. it feels like there is a slight knob there but is comfortable, so i get the best of feeling like i my hand wont slip off but have no knob at the end
How does your No-Knob compare with the Birdman “Bomb Knob” on their “truck stop” bats?
Your hands are a bit more free it’s very unique fir your swing tho. A lot of barrel control it’s easy to get to the inside pitch and hit a gap
@@Mackeyp Thanks for the information!
Best personality on TH-cam.
You guys should try and get Joey Gallo’s bat. His knob is huge to add more weight at the hands. I saw him using it in home run derby and it reminds me of a Cam Wood Bat trainer.
I always had blisters and pain in my hand where you said you have it when you swing with the regular knob. I wish they had something like the no kbob when I played in the 90s. I don't play anymore but I kinda want to get one and go to the ball field just to see how much better it really is.
you can buy lizard-skin nat grips that are really think and if you ride it up onto the knob its more comfortable. i wanna see someone make a handle mould that makes standard knobs of metal bats feel a little more gradual
for those wanting a quick reference as to which is better (standard knob is a baseline)
1. Comfort Knob
2. ProXR / Axe Handle (depends on whether you want power / contact)
3. Standard Knob
4. Where the Knob At
5. Bell Knob
6. Funky ProXR (might be good for someone with small hands)
i have the 2020 elite one axe bat and I love it
This brand of bats is my initials! DTB 🙌🏼
You guys should try out the Slugger U47. It's similar to the Jeter turn model and it's got a comfort knob.
I’m old school. I like the traditional knob but that’s really all they had when I was playing ball growing up so don’t have much experience with the others.
first time watching years till the last video i watch!!!
I know this comment probably won’t be seen but I got an attachment for my victus nox called the “Markwort Knobcuff EZ Taper” and it gives you the comfort knob feel, highly recommend
Hey man the camera is the real MVP 😂
Did you see the knob on Joey Gallos bat in the home run derby? The knob was huge!!
I like the axe nob
You should try to get the one that rizzo sometimes uses. Joey Gallo used it in the homerun derby
That’s a beautiful Mets hat😍
JT has a beautiful swing
Will at it again with the sweet Js
Bill Russell used to use the "no knob" as his standard bat.
Hol up….
Where's the 271 flared knob? Super comfy in my opinion.
Great vid! Thanks ;)
The weird pro Xr is like a axe no knob hybrid
This explains by Bonds used the bell knob. He has power to spare, just needed the control it affords.
***CONTENT ALERT****
Has Bat Bros thought about making a video on “Does Grip Matter”.
Gloves vs no gloves vs gloves with Pinter vs no gloves with dirt vs anything else MLB players do for grip.
IM REALLY INTERESTED TO SEE VELO TESTING!!!!!
Gauntlet thrown King of Juco needs to make an appearance!
Your vids are fire 🔥
Review the DTB tremor when it comes out! The first Metal bat with proxr handle!!!
you should do this again with all of the american bat smith knobs
Great vid
Need to test the new puck style knob bats that are coming out this year
of course it goes 400 dead center right after you channel the king of juco
"Where the knob at" 😂😂
The no nob is crazy
i use a 33.5 31 dovetail their place is like 3 hours from my house it’s a beautiful place driving up there
Let's see a video with Eric sim
11:10 Jt sounds like Michael Cera hahahahaha
The NO KNOB BAT!
Joey Gallo's Marucci bat has one of the biggest knobs i've ever seen. y"all should check that out.
If you haven’t heard of it y’all should try the Demarini Corndog Wood Composite bat it’s $50 and I was wondering how it performs compared to more expensive options.
Holy shit dude the KNOB!!!?
The McNeil knob? Missed opportunity. It's the McKnob
I live close to the dtb place where they make them my travel ball team gets a dtb new one every year because I think we are sponsered by them or something but we get them coustumized with our name and number and a new look every year
That king of juco swing sheesh
