2021 Easton Maxum Ultra vs 2021 DeMarini The Goods Single Piece


via JBR YouTube Channel
We thought going single piece vs single piece would be an interesting take. We think the 2021 Maxum Ultra is an underrated bat. It swings light, has a huge barrel, feels great, and is one of our favorites. In fact, maybe my personal favorite. The single-piece Goods is also a good bat too. Heavier swing than the Maxum, but can do serious damage to the right type of hitter (which is a big guy with a strong swing). Here's the data we talk about in the video. You'll need to download the data if you want to manipulate it to your liking. As we say, lots of ways to slice and dice it. https://ift.tt/2ImYoAP We don't have the time to moderate the comments here.

via JBR YouTube Channel
We take the new 2021 Rawlings Quatro and the DeMarini CF in the Cage for some head to head exit speed tests. The datasheet, as we talk about in the video, can be found here: https://ift.tt/3kojdJ5 Both bats are very similar. Big barrels, light swings, pretty soft connection pieces. Cleary high performers. Here is our full CF Review: https://ift.tt/3nev3XU If you have any comments on the video, please reach out to us on IG, FB @batdigest, or directly by email: admin@batdigest.com.

Testing Bats like the Pros: An Introduction to Ball Cannon Testing


via JBR YouTube Channel
It has taken us months to get this up and running, but it's finally ready to go! This is a reasonable approximation of the way that certifications like BBCOR and USSSA test their bats---with a ball cannon. We show you the ins and outs and give a peek at what's to come for our reviews and data collection in the future. We also compare the new Axe Avenge and Marucci CAT 9 Connect in USSSA in a 30/20. This is a work in progress for us and dialing in the ball cannon perfectly takes some time and effort. We are getting better and expect to improve on our data as we continue capturing exit speeds dependent upon barrels only. Have a comment or question, we'd love to hear from you. Send us a note at admin@batdigest.com.

Easton B5 vs Easton B5 - Old School vs New School


via JBR YouTube Channel
here we compare the 2021 Easton B5 vs a 1980/1990 (We can't tell) B5. The BBCOR 2021 is a 33/30 and the Old School B5 is a 32/28. Yes, a drop 4. Weird. But fun. Links: 2021 B5 Review: https://ift.tt/2FGGurf Buy the B5 @ Dicks Sporting Goods: https://ift.tt/2FHaZ0b The Raw Data from The High School Hitters: https://ift.tt/3mzp6p6 These are completely different types of bats--although kind of the same too. The performance/compression on the B5 from days gone by is much lower. We'd love to hear from you on if you have questions or commetns on this video or the B5 in general.

2021 Slugger Meta vs Meta PWR Exit Speeds & Swing Weights


via JBR YouTube Channel
We took the 2021 Louisville Slugger META PWR and META in head to head exit speeds. We compared both bats on 180 hits from two different hitters. Here's a link to the data from our hitting: https://ift.tt/3mkSC1y The META PWR is one of the heaviest swinging BBCOR bats on the planet. The question is, how does swing weight affect exit speeds. In a cage, it is really hard to tell the difference---because heavy swinging bats almost always win.
