Hype Train Battle: Baum Bat vs Slugger Meta vs No Name Bats


via JBR YouTube Channel
If you ever want to know why you don't see us on the marketing feed of a company's Instagram accounts, here you go. 😂😂😂😂 What do you want us to do? Lie? Make up numbers? Now, let's walk it back a bit. We're sure there are some people out there who can do well with the Baum bat. There's definitely a contingent of hitters that need a wood bat, but don't want it to break. That's where the Baum bat is a great fit. As well, if you're an elite hitter, like DIV I Level kind of player, it might be a good challenge against us normal folks. But, if you're otherwise normal to above-average high school/BBCOR hitter, we think its more than possible you won't like the Baum bat for an in-game bat. BP? Cold Weather? Practice Bat? Sure. Maybe. It will last you forever, no doubt. We'd like to see these bats outperform their peers more than anyone. (Save, maybe the company who makes them). Finding diamonds in the rough is what we do. But, we don't buy hype, never have. We've been doing this too long to be impressed by bats with expert level, adult hitters, taking kid's bats 400+ feet. That does not translate to the normal 14 to 17-year-old BBCOR players around the country. Great hitters can make broomsticks sing. But, normal, every day, average hitter's will prefer two-piece composite, hybrid or single-piece aluminum and composite bats. We bought that RIP-IT bat for $35 on ebay. It's a monster.

New Guy vs Legend: BBCOR Dirty South DNGR vs META


via JBR YouTube Channel
We took some hacks with the DNGR from Dirty South and, by request on our @batdigest Instagram account, compared its exit speeds to the Legendary Louisville Slugger Meta. Turns out, results real close. Although the hitter preferred the feel of the 2020 Meta. We also found, surprising, the DNGR has a noticeably heavier swing weight than the META. **********Bat Links************* 2020 Meta BBCOR: https://amzn.to/3hx4eLw (Affiliate) BBCOR DNGR Dirty South Bats: https://ift.tt/2Ed8iT4 ***********Reviews************** 2020 Meta Review: https://ift.tt/2ON4kmb 2020 BBCOR DSB Reviews: https://ift.tt/2CwWavL *********Comments************* Have a comment on the video?

Warstic Bonesaber Vs Hawk 2 - Daddy Hacks Version


via JBR YouTube Channel
Here we compare the Warstic Bonesaber vs the Hawk 2 in 33-inch BBCOR. This is another version of Daddy Hacks. Note, some of the numbers in the video might change due if we were to change lengths (like, to the 32-inch). Both bats perform well. The Hawk 2 should be considered end-loaded. The Bonesaber is on the heavier side of balanced (or lighter side of end-loaded). Comparatively, it swings a bit heavier than the Slugger Select PWR. All in all, we liked the Bonesaber better due to the handle and a bit lighter swing weight. It performs as well as any good BBCOR bat out there and, for the right hitter (someone who wants a single piece bat that swings a bit heavier than balanced), could be a great pick. The Hawk 2 is meant for big hitters and has an enload as big as any BBCOR bat. ********Affiliate Links********* Bonesaber: https://ift.tt/3eO2fkl Hawk 2: https://ift.tt/3eO2fkl ********Bat Digest Write-Ups************ Comparison: https://ift.tt/39l61ka Warstic Bonesaber Review: https://ift.tt/2WLs3HC ********Comments************ Got a comment on the video or question about something else?

BBCOR META vs BESR VOODOOO vs Slugger Prime WOOD


via JBR YouTube Channel
We've always wondered the actual difference in exit speeds for Wood, BBCOR and BESR bats. This is just one-hitter, but after 30 hits each (25 for the BESR because it broke), here are our results. In short, the results for this particular hitter are different, but not by as much as we would have guessed. Maybe, a +2mph for BESR. This hitter hit BBCOR about 2+ faster than wood. *********Comments************* If you'd like to talk to us about the video or have other bat questions, feel free to reach out to on our Instagram or Facebook @batdigest. You can also email us directly admin@batdigest.com. Moderating the comments on YouTube is a full-time job and, unfortunately, we don't have that amount of time.

Mizuno B21 Hot Metal Review First look vs Voodoo & B20


via JBR YouTube Channel
*****Bats in the video and their affiliate links****** 2020 DeMarini Voodoo Balanced: https://amzn.to/3f81pjx 2020 Mizuno B20 Hot Metal: https://amzn.to/31Tmx9k 2021 Mizuno B21 Hot Metal: https://amzn.to/2ZMP9ya ******Video Description********* 2021 BBCOR bats starting to get out. We take a first look with the Mizuno 2021 B21 Hot Metal, which got above average reviews in the 2020 B20 version. We compare the new 2021 B21 Hot Metal to the 2020 Balanced Voodoo and Hot Metal 2020 B20. We measure the results on HitTrax with a single 15U hitter on 30 swings apiece. He finds that his Exit Velos isn't much different between each, and they all feel about the same in terms of swing weight. Bats in the video are 33/30. You can read our reviews on these bats here: https://ift.tt/2NSyqBL *****Have a Comments***** Responding to comments here, our IG account, FB and Twitter as well as directly on our website is more work than we are willing to give it.
