Hitting with the Marucci CatX PUCK KNOB | BBCOR Baseball Bat Review 

could you do cat x vrs 2024 atlas it a bind not sure with one to get

Was immediately coming to the comments to find it what the purpose is. Thank you

Curious. Does the entire puck have to be exposed when gripping the bat? Seems that if you grip part of the puck you won't get the effect of the extra weight at the knob?

I would like to see which 1 piece voodoo one is the best. 2020, 21, 22, 23, 24

no one

As far as we've seen, they don't shag the bombs. They grab em from the field, and maybe do a once over by the fence, but those balls in the parking lot are GONE. And the trees? Forget about it. Thank God they don't have to spend money on the Bats, because this channel's budget is probably 85% Champro Kevlar Pitching Machine Balls as it is 😁

@@toilet_cleaner_manmy dude. Will buys all of his own bats off some different websites.

I believe they have a deal with the business to retrieve balls on the roof, probably get some in the trees, over the road who knows.

sleeper! One of the best Marucci BBCORs ever.

What are you 10 years old

That drives me nuts. 😅 I want to send Will a pair of Trouts just so I don't have to watch him hit in plywood pushers.

The puck knob bats weigh the same still -3. However, if you create your own puck knob you can add weight to the bat keeping the same bat speed which means more force will be transferred to the ball.

@@ashtonyarbrough1105Incorrect. Drop 3 means that the bat weighs 3 ounces less than its total length in inches. If you want to keep the bat the same length and weight as one without a puck knob, you have to remove material from the barrel, i.e. barrel length. While the bat will still be, for example, 33 inches long and 30 ounces in weight overall, part of that length and weight will now be behind your hands, making your bat shorter. The only way to avoid that loss in barrel length is to size the bat up, which results in a bat that is heavier. The puck knob will not make a heavier bat any less heavy. The additional weight will still hurt your bat speed. All it does is balance the swing weight of the bat. This means you can use a turn model that would otherwise be too end-loaded for you to swing effectively. It's not about applying more mass to the ball, it's about getting a bigger barrel profile to make it easier to hit the ball.

You not thinking about the counter weight effect. The weight behind your hands just makes it different. I think it’s a dope option is you aren’t trying to swing wood.

Ok nerd🤓😂 Nah I’m playing I’m a baseball nerd too and I’m 12 and study the physics of a curveball for hours a day while in my room😂

@@sirusvader6304I have hundreds of swings on Blast to support my claim. My bat speed with a 34 voodoo with a puck knob is the same, or often higher, as with 33 voodoo. Therefore I have the bigger barrel profile you are talking about and more mass behind the ball.

@ErrorsOnly Bro, shut up. He has a good reason for why he said that he would choose the select power. Besides the Catx Connect is better than the goods because of its durability issues and it’s lighter for a 2 piece and it’s forgiving towards the hands, possibly better than the voodoo

Also the Catx Connect is better than the goods because of its durability issues and it’s lighter for a 2 piece and it’s forgiving towards the hands, possibly better than the voodoo

@ErrorsOnly But the goods is harder to control, DURABILITY ISSUES

Just holding it the same way with both bats - always have my pinky just over the edge of the knob

Love the vids Andrew

that exists?!

@@baseballbatbros I've got one I think its from right around the switch maybe 2012 range

That would be cool...great idea.

You better

Great question!

Pitching machine was just throwing faster so I had to get the hands higher and farther back

@@baseballbatbros I see, makes sense.

I think the Atlas takes that showdown every time. Still hot, still easy to control, but more sweet spot than the other two.

idk if we needed it 😅

@@baseballbatbrosjust finished the video yeah it looks more like it’s weather or not you prefer the extra length of the barrel or not

@@KirbysFakePunt and just to clarify - the barrel on a 33" CatX and a 34" CatX Puck Knob are the same length. The extra length is just the knob itself.

@@baseballbatbros oh. that makes more sense

the harder you hit it and the better the baseballs you’re using, the more of a “crack” it makes. I’ll also add that it cracks towards the hands, and it pings towards the end.

We already compared the CatX Connect to the Bonesaber Hybrid somewhat recently

It should affect composite barrels, but not alloy barrels. It affects the baseball itself more than anything.

Both bats are the same construction. Alloy barrels aren’t affected by colder weather like composite bats are

@@baseballbatbros But you are.

Select Pwr or Rawlings Icon!

Ok thanks

I was surprised that the meta was not ranked high on y’all’s chart
