the x2 hurt my ears 😂
That bat is terrible. Literally I won't let our kids use it in practice as I can't stand the sou
felt like a ghoul screaming
The X2 reminds me of my little league days and when my dad played softball in the 90s
My ears hurt from the cat x2
Imagine being a catcher and someone is hitting with that
Will is either buddy’s with the store manager or drops a small fortune in baseballs. 🤘😎
Demarini is so good
Good to see the Marucci cat lineup is still blowing out people’s eardrums. I specifically remember the Cat7 and whether it was the BBCOR or USSSA version, the thing was LOUD.
still second fiddle to the first gen Victus Vandal 😂😂😂
Thing sings to you , probably where the term dingers came from.. hollyyyy
I just heard that X2 outside my house in Tennessee....
"I'm going to save money for the light bill"
"I'm going to save money for the light bill"
*Bat bros says a bat id good*
Sitting in my house the other night in Torrance, California and I kept hearing this loud ringing sound.....
It was a Marucci bat belting out tanks several hundred miles away
That cat x2 needs a set of ear plugs sold with it. I think flash bangs are less loud....
I listened to the X2 with headphones and something turned off the sound permanently. Ring-a-ding-ding-dong.
Lol the sounds on that X2 is all time haha
Will this channel is my go-to when my wife is out on a date with her coworker. Her current boyfriend is in the market for a few USSSA's so I'm doing some market research to help out. Cheers
Bro what
LOL
Did Will really heart this?
I highly suggest researching either divorce lawyers or any first 48 episode
@@ericreed1304what am i reading 😂😂😂😂 so funny and unexpected
How anyone swings that Cat X2 indoors in a cage is beyond me.
Also, look for the Icon ban after this.
I heard that CatX and I am in East Asia right now...
Can u please do a usssa icon -8 vs usssa tank -8 with the kids?
@@nadiamunoz474 bomb Dropper boys may have already.
Exactly what he needs to make!!
I don't even like baseball but I'm entertained everytime
Bro my ear drums about blew out just from the sound of that bat from the speakers on my phone. Lol that is insane! I could not imagine what that thing sounds like in person.
i had on headphones when you swung the cat x2…
Dude Marucci’s are so loud, they do make good bats. You got to love Louisville Slugger sounds
The x2 sounds as loud as the old Walmart Worth Copperheads from back in the day.
You should test all composite bats at those price differences if you haven’t already. (even if it’s $50 gaps or less options, I’m unsure if the market). it’s really clear there’s no reason to buy an alloy bat for U-Trip. So test the comps! That’d be sweet
Ouch, my ears bro still hear the ringing. 😂
Will - "So at least there's a noticible difference there, lets try that again"
Me - *Mutes the video faster than I have done anything else in my life*
I had the vexxum when I was younger and literally forgot about it. Like you just unlocked a memory with that one 😂
Will, love your videos. I also dig the hair. You are starting to look like a lean John Kruk with the curly mullett. 😂
You need to try the yellow xl1
That Marucci CatX 2 made my ears ring. However, I loved the Rawlings ICON USSSA bat.
I now see why PG is banning -5 bats in 12U. Honestly at this point they should switch to BBCOR for 12U and up. It's getting frickin dangerous
USA would be the answer. Basically just light BBCOR bats.
USA bats would accomplish the same thing. Kids that age aren't strong enough. PG incorporated USA bats....for a hot minute until they realized how much business they were losing. $$$$
I’m a nervous wreck having my 10 yr old son move up to pitch in the USSSA world. And I played in the Gorilla ball era! Z2K and Redlines. It’s different when you are watching line drives lasered back at them when you know the USA bats can greatly reduce the chance of injury or worse! Still have the Z2K by the way
The more I see of the arms race with alloy and composite bats, the more I think every age should just go back to wood.
@@mattrinck7503 avg 8 to 12 yos won't see the same performance or performance gap. There is an outlier here and there, but those kids are dangerous w any bat.
I just got the icon today, and im so excited to hit absolute bombs.
a brand new F5 is $115 and put performs the cheapo and the stringking and the x2
My son batted .500 in 9U travel with the Cat X9 drop 10. Basically a single machine. Only 2 doubles and a grand slam in 34 games. You sold me on the Icon and I got a Cat X2. 10U fall ball about to start, we’ll see how it goes.
I think a good video idea would be hype fire vs the green zen, I think it’s obvious the hype fire is hotter but I think it would just really put into perspective how crazy hot the bat truly is as most people still think of the green zen as the goat
I just attended the Cooperstown Dream Park's last tournament for the summer and the bats are stupid and the fields are stupid. The amount of inflated home runs and scores were insane. The fields say they are 200....I measured several...they are in fact 186. This bs about the wall height is stupid. They told us "Cooperstown Dreams Park does not want high scores! We do not want blow outs! We want baseball!" which is the total opposite of what anyone gets when playing there. High scoring games all the time, too many kids getting drilled by way too hot line drives or ground balls and then stupid swings where they flick the bat while falling over and it goes out by a solid 30+ feet. The composite bats are stupid. Give majority of those kids a real bat and they will have a hard time fighting through the zone.
It's like someone that use to hit rocks with the old big red plastic bats was like let's make a bat that hot when they created the hype fire and icon.
Some sound like the 1990's Easton Tiphoon STi1 slow pitch softball bat. Straight tuning forks!
The Rawlings Icon sound of the bat sounds like the hype 2024 fire
Bro, that Icon sounds so sick!
I love the cat x2 but one of my favorite bats of all time is the cat 9 drop 5
I had the 32/29 vexxum and it was nothing but sweet spot
I bought a demarini vexxxum blue usssa 31” for $10 ! Bat was practically new wow😮
I was hoping for 120 velo on the 4hundo bat. Love the vids
Like to see a 1-piece -5 showdown:
StringKing Metal @ $99
Marucci Code @ $149
Victus Vibe/Pencil @ $199
Louisville Atlas @ $249
Marucci Cat X2 @ $299
With a used bat like the Demarini @ $60 thrown in to see how much you "lose" going used.
Side idea, a vid with used 2-piece vs new 1-piece to see what the actual performance dropoff is. JustBats has a variety of used in the same price range as new 1-piece and my 11u son's still always had good pop on someone else's "last season's" bat.
I don’t know why my kid hits better with one piece alloys over the composites. Is it swing weight? Balance the hell is the difference between the alloy and composite?????
I have a old besr demerrani vexxum from 2008 from the exo era
USA bats next?
Would love to see more used/thrifted bats in vids
I bought to bats I think from the year 2000. Worth Bats. One is an aluminum bat and the barrel is wrapped in carbon. The other just looks like an aluminum bat.
A while back I bought a 2 piece catx but I didn’t know what it was and sold it for $30. I think it was a softball bat. The guy who bought it asked if it still had pop? I had no idea what he was talking about. It was before I started watching this channel.
I love your videos keep it up good work
Now I remember what I hated about playing ball in tn 90s.
I don't know what sound is worse..... The ping from the CatX2 or the dial up internet sound from the early 90's.
The vexxum was crazy back in the say
Just for the people with headphones on I would suggest that you take them off when you get to the cat x2 part
Yall should review the pro made Chandler bats
already know this gonna be 🔥
Back in the day, I bought my son a CAT7 USSSA and he used it for 3 summers. Basically cost me $60 per summer. None of the bats work if your swing is trash.
Bats aside, HOW DID U GET CUSTOM FRANKLIN LONG CUFF GLOVES????
Im pretty sure they sent them to him, like all the bats you see him debut
They need to sell them on the website.
Or allow us to do our own custom ones.
Can you do the USSA Axe Avenge Pro 3. Feels like it has more exit velocity and pop than a lot of the bats out there.
Demarini y Marucci son los mejores bate
I had a vexxum yellow handle silver barrel in t ball and it rang me up like I would hit and shake ALOT from the vexxum vibration.
still got my grey b2 from when i was a kid
I can tell they used a sound dampener with the Catx 2. I could hear Will's voice all muffled.
Love the lid! Bobby Witt Jr for MVP … 😎
Dude that catx is a freaking church bell. That sound is insane. I can’t tell if it’s offensive to my ears or awesome
You should bring back some younger kids and have a comparison of a brand new composite vs purchasing a used and broken in composite. My 12U is a huge fan of the Combat B2 one piece composite!
does the price matter?? YES ITE DORS
I still wonder how the CATX2 is so popular. Its expensive for a one piece and not overly hot. Plus the ring in your ears after you hit it. Id have to pass on it or pay the extra $50 for the connect.
My kid plays 8U travel, lots of USSSA tournaments. Everyone crushing the ball. Icons and hype fires everywhere. This summer he played All Stars, you have to use USA bat. The kids were like what the hell is going on? My kid hit one home run in one game - literally the only home run we saw the entire all star season and this team went to the SoCal super regional final and won three tournaments before that.
Eventually get him some cheap wood bats to swing in batting practice. When he goes back to metal in games it’ll feel like butter
Funny you say that, he’s playing in a woodbat tournament tomorrow. They were practicing with wood bats earlier this week and most kids could barely get it to the outfield.
And sporting royal gear? Dope
My sons coach has always said its not the tool, its the person holding it. That being said, the newer more expensive bats make anyone look amazing lol
The x2 sounds like marucci tried to make it sound like the besr ping, and failed😂
You guys need to get your hands on an original Easton Connexion. I think they came out in 2001, its a more forgiving drop 3 Z2K
Can we see the bobesaber hybrid match up against the Rawlings icon. Been debating on which bat to get.
I feel dumb asking this, but what exactly is “off the hands”? I feel like it’s a jammed hit or a stinger.
exactly that he just got jammed
@@edwardpullar2741 kinda figured, but I’ve heard him say it after what looks like his got the barrel on it. I dunno…
the new nickname for the catx2 "the tuning fork bat"?
😅😅😅
Like some have said already, the X2 bout blew out my raycons.
X2 doing gods work. Raycons are ass.
I used a vexxum when I was a kid, different year though I can't remember
Will, what would you say the Louisville prime 918 swing weight is on the bat bros scale.
the $300 "flashbang simulator" after you swing that bat you come too back in Spawn
Hey will I have a quick question. If durability does not matter to me and I’m just looking for a stupid hot -5 should I get the hype fire or something else
Hey will, can you review the KS12 louisville slugger maple. Thank you
Does anybody remember that batbro cam
Do a USA baseball bat review of the 2025 Hype Fire
Hi , I'm English , I have liked baseball for some time now , but am confused as to which type of bats are allowed to be used , as I thought in the MLB wooden bats had to be used , so some other leagues you can use alloy bats , is that right ?
That second bat at first thought sounded horrible but when you listen it actually sounds great just loud. Third bat don’t care if hottest thing ever that sound is horrible. No need for a bat to sound like that. Also I’m in Northern California yes I heard third bat. It’s how I knew you had new video.
Question to anyone in baseball, I want to practice my swing in my backyard, what is the best way to do this by myself, what kind of products are available and what works best
No suprise!
I have a legendary unheard bat you have yet reviewed yet. Its BESR and I'm very sure you can make another video out of it. Pleaser reply if interested
I have a drop 5 cat 7 I like to hit with sometimes and it blows my ears out too 😂
I already know this is gonna be a good video
Debating on getting a voodoo 2022 atlas 2 piece goods or select pwr I go to a 3A school and trying to start JV as a freshmen I rarely strikeout but I don’t have much pop
Bro the VEXXUM 😭😭😭 I loved that bat
Could you do for the USA bats please
I'm going to buy a bat but I don't know which one to choose, help me Soldier Tank bbcor or Cat x 1 piece bbcor
The Bat bros described the new Tank as an “even better Cat x”. However, the tank does have some glaring durability issues with the end cap (it does have a warranty though)
Review the 2012 demarini voodoo!! I think the bat is really hot but want your honest opinion on it!!
Can u pls do the Louisville Slugger Wooden 36inch Bat?
Today on the Baseball Bug Bros... 🪰⚾
The x2 hurt my ears as well
Do 2015 Vexxum BBCOR… it’s hot.
Can we possibly get a USSSA hybrid bat showdown?
I have a question what is more end loaded a pencil bat or a Easton speed
thanks for dropping td
I’ve been wondering what you do with the bats after a video.
