I know it's a bat review channel, but Will and JT don't give themselves enough credit on the velos...BOTH of their swings and strength have increased a ton since the channel started. Kudos to you guys! 💪💪
Hey bat bros. I'm so happy to see y'all in Lafayette, Louisiana. I live in Louisiana too and it's just always cool to see y'all here and hitting tanks in the Rajun Cages. It would be soo cool to hit with y'all one day. Great video. Keep hitting like y'all do👍👍.
Great vid guys.. Get about 150 hard hits on that Cat X and you'll hear and see the difference. We've got about 200 hits on ours and its hitting insane..
After another 100 or so swings I think the cat x might actually be hotter than the cat 9 considering the x isn't even really broken in that well yet. Right now I think they're even as exit velo goes, the x might have put up a higher velo but just few tenths of a mph doesn't mean it's hotter but just that you just managed to connect on the g spot better on the x than the 9 for one of the swings.
Hey will will you please let us viewers know if the Stinger Missile II gets banned in high school. I just bought the bat and planned on using it in high school (I did get the 33”)
the blue cat 9 is way different then the black one i had both they have a different feels less sweat spot and doesn’t feel as hot. but i love the cat X
Will, you are spot on. Most 12 year olds will take a LONG time to break that bat in. I can't get Rohan to swing USSSA, he says they are too juiced. Most of his tournaments are BBCOR now so he's right, there isn't much point.
I think 100% you need to break them in a little more. Barrel size in USSSA composite space actually does matter, but not for sweet spot. It's complicated but i think you need to break in the cat x a little more to get a better reading
Hey man I have a question that I hope you can help me with. My son plays travel baseball (9u). He's really wanting the 28" -10 cat x composite, but his coach has been telling me since 6u that kids aren't strong enough to swing the bat hard enough to get the performance out of the composite bats. Therefore he only suggests aluminum bats. What are your thoughts? I trust your bat knowledge over his, or most anybody for that matter lol.
I know you won’t answer, but I really want to know. I’m 13u, and have swung a 31 -8. My brother had a 32 -5 Easton XL1, and I know it’s a great bat, but I think I should get a 31 -5 catx, what do you think?
We went from the Cat 9 composite to the Cat X composite and out of the wrapper we hate the Cat X.. the Cat 9 was hot out of wrapper but the Cat X seems dead and seems like the sweet spot is very small. Hopefully over time it will get better but very disappointed right now.
@@baseballbatbros tried swinging again and still hate it.. do you think it’ll get better with time or do you think the cat 9 composite will always be better? I’m not talking about exit Velo, but talking about miss hits and overall solid hits
Dude you gotta get your hands on one of the Green OG Marucci Hex bats…6 years ago when I was in Cooperstown I remember a whole team was using that bat and I think they hit about 8 home runs with it that game😂 Never have I seen a 12 year old hit balls as far as they were
Looking for some help on identifying a louisville slugger 125 tpx t141 wooden bat covered in fiber and resin. No other markings beside a 3 stamped on butt of barrel. Any help would be awesome.
I like both bats, Its just i dont know if i would pay 399 for cat x comp, ive been trying to find a cat 9 comp for like months but it seems to never be in stock or on other websites, even if they are its not a size im looking for, but great review
Keep up the awesome work guys I love these videos but u guys should really test out the 2018 Easton ghost X I use this bat as my gamer and it is juiced
You guys should revisit the xl1 maybe the wind in the original video made the balls fly way more because when I saw the home run derby with JT and cam the xl1 didn’t look as good
I’m a 12 year old and is smaller built. I have a wood bat tournament in West Palm Beach Florida come this October. I was wondering what wooden bat I should use. In metal I am using a Cat9 Composite 31/26 and a 30/27 Easton Speed. (Don’t ask) Help would be greatly appreciated but if y’all can’t respond, that’s completely fine.
@@baseballbatbros Lol! Million dollar medical , military machines fall out of tolerance. Why couldn’t a $25k speed tracker? The way the ball was jumping off the bat didn’t look like they were all crushed. It could be a lot of things camera angle , background etc. I was just asking because speeds didn’t look right to me.
I know it's a bat review channel, but Will and JT don't give themselves enough credit on the velos...BOTH of their swings and strength have increased a ton since the channel started. Kudos to you guys! 💪💪
They incorporated Pete Alonso's warmup/meditation routine from the HR Derby this year. It's worked wonders.
And their BP pitching. I envy them every time I watch them throw BP. I wish I could throw like that to actually be able to help my son.
Somebody check their piss
@@randylackey8294 that’s so wholesome man I love that
Just went back and looked at the Cat 9 showdown from last year, the guys have grown in size
Hey bat bros. I'm so happy to see y'all in Lafayette, Louisiana. I live in Louisiana too and it's just always cool to see y'all here and hitting tanks in the Rajun Cages. It would be soo cool to hit with y'all one day. Great video. Keep hitting like y'all do👍👍.
Crazy how much the sound changed on the CatX even after just like 20 swings. Sounded pingy at the start then much more like a CF Zen near the end.
Great vid guys.. Get about 150 hard hits on that Cat X and you'll hear and see the difference. We've got about 200 hits on ours and its hitting insane..
After low 90s exit velocity I didn’t expect 110🤣
Bro it’s so cool to see y’all hitting there because I actually go to those cages and I love them.
Seems like a few more swings and it will be right there with the Cat9.
The video we’ve all been waiting for!

Same. We haven’t returned ours yet (have until Halloween) and hope HS won’t ban it.
Yep we posted it on Instagram/Facebook/TH-cam the day it got banned
@@rrusso33 same. The return is kind of a hassle too. Their return form doesn’t work the way it should and doesn’t print like it needs to.
Broooo Ragin Cages is literally a 6 minute drive from my home and my 13 year old son loves y’all!
the blue cat 9 is way different then the black one i had both they have a different feels less sweat spot and doesn’t feel as hot. but i love the cat X
Are they not just different paint jobs? Weird they would have changed get something?
I thought it was just a new paint job. Which feels better to you - the blue or the black?
This is more important than football practice
"we may even break 110 today folks"
*breaks 110 next swing*
Good video guys.
Will, you are spot on. Most 12 year olds will take a LONG time to break that bat in. I can't get Rohan to swing USSSA, he says they are too juiced. Most of his tournaments are BBCOR now so he's right, there isn't much point.
Love all your reviews!! Thank you so much!
My son loves the marucci and meta thanks for the info
I want to see Eric sim swing a drop five lol, that would be so funny
You mean you want to see Eric Sim annihilate a drop 5 and explode? lol
He swung it in the Portland trip and the longest HR video already.
love this channel enjoy watching the videos every upload
these things are crazy! can we see an exit velo test on the cat x -3 1 piece next
When the cat x is fully broken in, I feel like it could potentially be better than the cat 9 composite
You can get the catx in a 33 though can’t you? Wouldn’t it have higher velos with the extra mass?
Awesome video as usual!!!
Nice video, love the content bros!
I think 100% you need to break them in a little more. Barrel size in USSSA composite space actually does matter, but not for sweet spot. It's complicated but i think you need to break in the cat x a little more to get a better reading
Doing a cat 9 composite to the cat x 1 peace would be crazy
By the way, if you take it outside I bet the reverb on the cat x would be godly.
I love your videos man !!!
Nice.
Best youtube channel out there!!
Bruce bolts are the best batting gloves I have like 3 pairs
Facts
Hi bat bros, i have question which bat is better cat x composite, cat x one piece alloy?
the cat 9 2021 is my gamer and i am so close to hitting it over the fence
I was wating for this vid so much I’m planing to buy it
You should try all the Demarini CF’s like Cf7 Green Zen all of them
I play 12u and I have 300 swings on my cat d comp and it still doesn’t feel completely broken in. It’s ⛽️ but it’s not feeling great
bat looks so nice 😍

Hey Will you should probably make a video about the cat x composite fully broken in vs cat 9 composite
I know you won’t answer, but I really want to know. I’m 13u, and have swung a 31 -8. My brother had a 32 -5 Easton XL1, and I know it’s a great bat, but I think I should get a 31 -5 catx, what do you think?
Dude I play travel ball and I have that bad it’s so juiced I’m in 12u and been hitting some bombs with it love your videos!
And I love what u are doing in your channel I love it
Hoping to see a shootout between this and the new USSSA Avenge Pro
Is Kraken grip better than pelican?
2025 my son still using both these bats tried several new ones but most of the time he's pulling out the cat 9
yeah babyyy ever since i saw it in your longest home run video i knew you were gonna makje a vid about it
Where do u get the cat 9 comp. I can’t find it anywhere because they discontinued it
We went from the Cat 9 composite to the Cat X composite and out of the wrapper we hate the Cat X.. the Cat 9 was hot out of wrapper but the Cat X seems dead and seems like the sweet spot is very small. Hopefully over time it will get better but very disappointed right now.
yep it felt awful at first

In your opinion what is better the cat X connect Or the Warstic ???
Yooo shout-out Youngsville! I live about 5 minutes from there. Right down the road.
You’re getting much stronger and quicker with the hands. Do a redline video in another few months so you could top 120 or so.
If you heat roll the bat will it help break it in?
Or have it shaved?
Then it’s illegal
Make a BBcore composite Cat X
Looking for some help on identifying a louisville slugger 125 tpx t141 wooden bat covered in fiber and resin. No other markings beside a 3 stamped on butt of barrel. Any help would be awesome.
Would you get the cat x aluminum or the cat x comp?
Can you guys do more bbcor i need to find a bat for next year
I like both bats, Its just i dont know if i would pay 399 for cat x comp, ive been trying to find a cat 9 comp for like months but it seems to never be in stock or on other websites, even if they are its not a size im looking for, but great review
Can you do the BBCOR version of this soon?
Can you tell me where I can finds a set of those baseball bat barrel rings?
Is the cat x composite drop 3 BBCOR the same
Nooo BBCOR is very different
Do another video cat x vs cat 9 when the cat x is fully broken in
Keep up the awesome work guys I love these videos but u guys should really test out the 2018 Easton ghost X I use this bat as my gamer and it is juiced
Will can we get a review of the usssa -5 cat x .. Looking for a cold weather bat that is similar to the meta.
When is the Bbcor composite getting reviewed
You guys should revisit the xl1 maybe the wind in the original video made the balls fly way more because when I saw the home run derby with JT and cam the xl1 didn’t look as good
It was broken by that point
@@baseballbatbros I see that explains why it wasn’t sounding the same
Can we have a cat 9 connect plz
What batting gloves are those
Do u recommend buying?
Getting my 13U son a catX -5. Do you suggest the 1-piece or the coposite? What's the difference between the 2?
2 best bats ever right there
I can do a vid with you guys cat x vs orange xl1 and I have an xl1
So I think the forgiveness on the 9 vs the c could be because of the knob
Have you considered running a t-test to determine whether certain bats are better than others?
Your video(s) sold me a Cat9 Comp... and I've sold a few of them ever since... monster bat... don't see any reason to change yet...
no reason to change
Will you be doing the Cat X bbcor composite? Or do you know anything about it
Bat bros do you think that the cat 9 and the cat 9 Limited edition is the same
Helppppppppp. Should I get the cat x composite or connect
is there a difference between the cat9 composite and the cat9 composite past time in performance. Or is it just a different color scheme
Exact same bat. Just a different colorway.
thanks, that’s what i thought just making sure
thanks, that’s what i thought just making sure
thanks, that’s what i thought just making sure
Today I'm getting a cat9 comp is it worth it
First. I have seen so many videos about this bat and it is hot
I’m between the voodoo and the cat x one piece -3 what do you think I should get? I’m a smaller player and hit for contact . I’m around 5 foot.
Is the cat x composite BBCOR or usssa better.
What bat would you recommend for a 12 year old
were where about to go to ragin cages when yall were there
Where did you get those barrel rings?
What do you think the best bbcore bat is
Yo they banned the 33 missile 2. So glad I got the 32 it still rakes
Great vid you guys should do the alloy Version and compare it to the the cat 9
What's the model number your using???
What kind of baseballs are you using?
these Champro flat-seam baseballs that they had in the facility
I feel after the new cat x is broken in, it will give crazy numbers...
Why haven’t you finished the wood bat showdown?
I’m a 12 year old and is smaller built. I have a wood bat tournament in West Palm Beach Florida come this October. I was wondering what wooden bat I should use. In metal I am using a Cat9 Composite 31/26 and a 30/27 Easton Speed. (Don’t ask) Help would be greatly appreciated but if y’all can’t respond, that’s completely fine.
I’m going into my sophomore season of hs, does that bat come in a -3
Yeah but the drop 3 of this bat is mid
@@baseballbatbros what about the voodoo?
Can tell will has been hittin the gym
Yessss!!!!! Love this!
I was wondering what you guys think I should get for a 32 -5
It doesn’t look like the speeds are accurate. Is hittrax off?
How you gonna argue with a $25,000 hit tracking machine 😂
@@baseballbatbros Lol! Million dollar medical , military machines fall out of tolerance. Why couldn’t a $25k speed tracker? The way the ball was jumping off the bat didn’t look like they were all crushed. It could be a lot of things camera angle , background etc. I was just asking because speeds didn’t look right to me.
Lol all good. They were accurate. These modern day USSSA composite bats are just crazy juiced. Especially when using good baseballs like we were today
What BBCOR should I get
