researching bats for my son, he just started playing and he fell in love with baseball. Thanks for the video, its going to help a lot with making the final decision on the best bat for him.
The benefit to the composite bats, like the ADV, is after they have broken in. My so played a drop 8 during 12u, but it took winter BP and half the season for it to open up.
Awesome guys. I asked in your previous video for USA comparisons and you went above and beyond. My 11u son swings the Icon and was really curious how the hype compared. Thank you.
Know what. I was given like some unreleased Easton rebel when I played USA ball, and I had a fence hit, well it bounced a few times then went to the 250 foot fence and it was a line drive! I had a single thought off of it, the outfielders were way out and I was so ready to run more but my coach held me
Wish you would have had the LS Select Pwr. My sons team used that and the Easton ADV in the Southwest Regional. We would love the opportunity to have the Hype Fire for next year!
Yeah. In the description, you can see the link to the data we collected watching the regionals. It was close. We missed that bat, the DSB Made, and the Select PWR in the video. But so many bats, so little time. Haha. We'll work on a follow-up video to give those bats (and the Bonesaber) a fair shake.
@@batdigestIdaho vs Washington we counted the 10 or so Bonesaber in the game between the two teams. That’s a large presence. And was hard to find a game in regionals without one.
Great video, but quick question on the drop sizes tested. How did you figure out what drop was being used in LLWS? All the bats in the video are either -10 or -11. How were you able to determine they weren’t hitting -8 or -5?
Good question. If you got 02:09 in the video we show the drops we tested. As per how they compare to what the kids n the LLWS regionals were using, its a bit of a guess as we can't tell from ESPN feeds. But, to keep this fair straight forward and as fair as possible, we used the drop 10s and 11s. We'll have to do a follow up video with drop 8s and 5s to see if that changes results.
My 8 year old son has the last year cat x one piece. He is wanting to get the new cat x 2 one piece, do you think that there is enough difference between the two to upgrade?
Yeah. Those did look awesome. Sad we couldn’t get them in time for the video. We if this video does well, we will do a follow up for sure with that DSB MADE as well as the Warstic Hybrid and the Select PWR.
Saw several kids mashing with the DSB Made 1-pc composite and also the Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid. Would have been cool for those to be included but understood- smaller companies, less available, etc. Seems like overall, aluminum bats are probably a better choice in USA cert.
100%, my travel ball league is wired and makes us use USA bats, and personally, the adv sucks, the goods is mid, the cf sucks, the voodoo feels like a usssa bat but is extremely fragile with a bad sweet spot, and the catX is very hot with good sweet spot and swing weight, I game the catX right now and I think it’s the best USA bat on the market
I have the other height fire, and I’ve been wanting the blue high fire and the blue hype fire in the tank and I really want the Tatis Junior wooden bat and the Louisville slugger wooden bat
Should a tall 8 year old with above average strength challenge himself by swinging the lowest comfortable drop bat or should he be swinging these lighter -10+ sticks ?
I need it i will like and be subbed for the rest of life and share and I starting new season first season I’m so excited I’m just scared to get hit I only have one bat and when i ride my bike to practice by myself with my family my bags also hevyer on one side and it feels weird
Hi! I love all of your videos, and I am in a USA bag only league! I really want that hype fire from the giveaway. I am a drop 8 so idk if you can make that work.
I have been coach LL for awhile. I iwn everything from the Ghost to the Meta. I get them to review. Have stud players. The Select is the same from 2018 to 2025. The Select -10 is the best -10 period for gas. The old Prime is the best cheap used bat. Both are the most reliable. The Good and Cat Connect are decent. I have seen both break enough. My #1 pick for best bat for USA is the Bonesaber Hybrid. PERIOD. 2 is Select is the close 2nd. 3 Prime 4 Icon due to sting mostly. 5 Cat Connect over the Goods but again they are close. Easton hasn't made anything great since the Ghost X got banned. The 360 is 100% fine, the ADV1 was a failure, the Hype is another miss. None of the Eastons have been as good as their old Beast X, but the Select snd Warstic destroy them.
Good stuff here. You could be on to something. Definitely weird the Bonesaber was so underrepresented in the regionals. Easily < 5% on about 200 kids we tracked, and that’s counting Idaho who had 50% of their players. The super majority of players didn’t have a single kid swinging the Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid. Outside the 2018 Quatro, and Icon, the Select PWR was all over the place.
Bag digest can I please get is pls I really want it my bats are good but I really want the hype I don’t have a hype and I want to hit nukes like you did love you content I likes and subbed and may I get the hype pls man that is my dream

Thanks for watching. We'll keep grinding!
Just got the new hype and I feel like Big Al
Ty for doing this vid ur vids are really good the new hype fire looks crazy good
Glad you like them!
Love y’alls channel!!!
Thank you so much! We trying!
Yeah, good list except for a couple of big exclusions. One being the Pwr Slct and the other would be the Warstic Bonesaber.
Love your videos keep up the amazing work
Thank you! Will do!

That's awesome. Not sure we've ever even hit with the Rebel, must of been a while ago.
@@batdigest it was! Bakc when I played USA ball 😂
Yess! Sim have to be a but late 😭 whatever I still get to enjoy this vid!
This video is getting better and better
Thanks!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! We keep grinding.
What size was the GOODS? length weight
Love this bat for my son.
Nice video! 🎉
Thanks!
Wish you would have had the LS Select Pwr. My sons team used that and the Easton ADV in the Southwest Regional. We would love the opportunity to have the Hype Fire for next year!
I seen the warstic an awful lot in regionals, as well as the unreleased icon which looked pretty solid
Yeah. In the description, you can see the link to the data we collected watching the regionals. It was close. We missed that bat, the DSB Made, and the Select PWR in the video. But so many bats, so little time. Haha. We'll work on a follow-up video to give those bats (and the Bonesaber) a fair shake.
That would be great bc the Bonesaber homers were significant
@@batdigestIdaho vs Washington we counted the 10 or so Bonesaber in the game between the two teams. That’s a large presence. And was hard to find a game in regionals without one.
Love this! 🔥 😅
Subscribed! My son would smoke that Hype Fire!
Thanks 🔥
How did the CATX2 hold up after thise swings. I know they are known for their durability so curious to know if it held up the best?
Picked up Hype 🔥 USA 28 drop -11 for son and he has been loving the new grip and barrel. Fall season around the corner 🫡
Nice. I bet he loves it.
Love your video an the bat what is the best best

@@batdigest 100% *most* 12 year olds are swinging -8s or -5s. Especially the kids that make the LLWS.
I'm a big fan
You should add the select pwr
Someday. See the 01:57 in the video…
I’ve liked subbed and turned on the notifications i need a hype
My 8 year old son has the last year cat x one piece. He is wanting to get the new cat x 2 one piece, do you think that there is enough difference between the two to upgrade?
I think if you did a blind test nobody could tell the difference.
Agreed with @chicagoBears2121 here. Pretty similar and not sure there's much of a difference.
If I find a Blue Goods or ADV Blue for the right price.., I might grab it.
1019 ft on the bounce 🤙🏽🤙🏽⚾️⚾️
Haha. We gotta try that.
Would love to see the Victus Vibe/Pencil bat in list. Probably going to see a few of those this year.
📝
I subbed❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guys!!! You gotta add the DSB Made. The Joker Bats that Washington St. was using looked tough...such a sleeper
Yeah. Those did look awesome. Sad we couldn’t get them in time for the video. We if this video does well, we will do a follow up for sure with that DSB MADE as well as the Warstic Hybrid and the Select PWR.
@@batdigest would be much appreciated. We'll be in our last year of DYB next year and we've hit that awkward growth stage.
Saw several kids mashing with the DSB Made 1-pc composite and also the Warstic Bonesaber Hybrid. Would have been cool for those to be included but understood- smaller companies, less available, etc. Seems like overall, aluminum bats are probably a better choice in USA cert.
True, true. Axe Avenge another one too. We debated about it. If this video does well we’ll make a follow up.
100%, my travel ball league is wired and makes us use USA bats, and personally, the adv sucks, the goods is mid, the cf sucks, the voodoo feels like a usssa bat but is extremely fragile with a bad sweet spot, and the catX is very hot with good sweet spot and swing weight, I game the catX right now and I think it’s the best USA bat on the market
You should do the best USA bat and usssa bats
I like this idea...
I don’t
💀💀💀
Dirty south bats ngl are underrated af. More people need to use them
Nice. Love DSB.
@@batdigest same. I had their 2024 model USA 31 -8. Best bat ever. I used it for little league and all stars. And in Cooperstown
Was the goods you used the 2023
I have the 2024 slugger
I have the other height fire, and I’ve been wanting the blue high fire and the blue hype fire in the tank and I really want the Tatis Junior wooden bat and the Louisville slugger wooden bat
You guys should try the Victus Vibe bat. I think it’s the best USA bay for LL
We’ll have to check it out!
That bat is looking fire my son needs a bigger bat that would be perfect
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Should a tall 8 year old with above average strength challenge himself by swinging the lowest comfortable drop bat or should he be swinging these lighter -10+ sticks ?
At 8, we say drop 10. Whatever bat gives him the most success in the moment, let them play.
who's here after will broke the hype fire in half
No voodoo one 32 drop five that thing hits the ball, harder than any bat of that regulation
hmmm. we'll have to try that.
@@batdigest sorry I have to have like 300 swings on it as well Sorry I didn’t say that.
Come on 50k! So many give aways
Let’s gooooo!!!
SUBSCRIBE!!! For giveaway
🤞🤞🤞
If I could have that bat I would die of happiness 😂
You probably already have it away but just asking😅
I need it i will like and be subbed for the rest of life and share and I starting new season first season I’m so excited I’m just scared to get hit I only have one bat and when i ride my bike to practice by myself with my family my bags also hevyer on one side and it feels weird
if I do win I'm a 30 inches
Are you seeing a noticeable difference between the cat x 2 one piece vs the cat x 2 connect in performance.
Not really, The connect is definitely less still. As in it doesn’t hurt our hands as much. But the performance was almost the same.
Ya'll I love baseball I play in little league and I hit dingers. The Hype Fire would be perfect
you should do a hr derby with the baseball bat bros
One day I'm sure we'll get around to that. They're great.
W vid sorry I’m late have school btw keep it up love the vids
Still hoping I win🙏🙏🙏🙏
🤞🤞🤞🤞 Will do!
I Love the hpfrier
For reals. its' legit. Would be fun to a drop 5 USA showdown or something like that. maybe next time.
Hi! I love all of your videos, and I am in a USA bag only league! I really want that hype fire from the giveaway. I am a drop 8 so idk if you can make that work.

🤞🤞
I really need the bat cause my family can't get one
Can anyone explain to me why they are using -11 and do they use -11 in the little league world series
Handful of the kids are drop 11. Many drop 10, 8 and 5.

Haha. Keep grinding man. You’ll get there.

Thats the Easton Quantum. Crazy choice, but they must know something. We're going to get that in house and test it.
Without that green bat that is smashing homers, doesn't count
DSB Made? Ha. We'll have to add it next time around.
Can I please get the hype please
Damn

Would NOT recommend The Goods. My son's broke (it telescoped at the connector piece) after 13 months. I have also seen another one break.
Dang. Good to know.
All bats break. In this video the hype fire broke as well. Ive seen an icon crack in half mid game.
