Hitting with the 2024 Warstic Gunner | BBCOR Baseball Bat Review (new BBCOR distance PR)

What up, what up? We're here with the Baseball Bat Bros. And today folks, we have a 2024 BB Corps from Warstick, the new Gunner. I'm very, very excited about this guys. Warstick has done an amazing job of making their bats better and better and better. If you remember the first ever Gunner back in like 2020. It's the heaviest bat, heaviest BB Corps I've ever swung. Sucked, was not very good at all. The next one in 2022, very promising, very good. And we have some new updates to this one today. First, we have a new handle. Look at that, just beautiful, AP5-esque taper right there. Not quite the Bonesaber knob, but it's a beautiful wood bat-like taper. And then a lighter barrel. So this is gonna swing a lot more like the Select Power or even maybe more like the Bonesaber Hybrid, our number one overall ranked bat, which we will compare this against. And I have swung this one time. I'm gonna cautiously say, we might have top eight material, folks. Let's get it. Oh my. All right, we might have a big video today here, folks. The Gunner versus the Bonesaber Hybrid. So effectively we have a heavier Bonesaber Hybrid with a normal knob and basically an upgraded grip tape. So if you guys have swung Warstick, you know that they have, you know, what seems like a really comfortable thin grip, but it wears out so fast. This is finally like something normal. So these are gonna go to war today. However, we are gonna set a baseline with another two-piece hybrid that is very well respected in the BB Corps community. We have the Goods. We're hoping for kind of a high-end Velo of anywhere from 106 to 108 today. It is pretty dang cold, so we'll see. Here's our dimensions. We have the same baseball for every hit. We have rap soda for our exit Velo. And let's see if we have a new top eight, folks, with the Gunner. And looking at our handy-dandy BB Corps swing weight scale right here, you can see that the new Gunner is actually closest to the Select Power in swing weight, but it's kind of wedged perfectly in between the Goods and the Bonesaber Hybrid for a 33-inch swing weight. That's gonna be close to 105-6-ish. 104. Gonna get it. That's almost perfect, boys. 105. Okay, one more perfect barrel. Not the bat to go with for bat control. Perfect barrel, there it is. Come on! Ah! All right, we'll save the gamer bat for last, but first, the world premiere of the 2024 Orsted Gunner. I'm very excited, but it's good. I like it. 104. I like it. Hands, still just a miss towards the hands. The Goods probably has it beat on sweet spot towards the hands, but it's like noticeably heavier, so that's very forgivable. 102. Dude, that's good. That's really good. Absolutely loving the taper. Huge, huge thumbs up. Ah, just getting beat hands, dude. Come on. That's gone. That sweet spot sound has that crunch. 107. If there's one thing to complain about the sweet spot early on, it's that I'm missing hands quite a bit, and I'm finding myself have to catch it out in front more, get it further out towards the end of the barrel, where I don't remember that being a problem with the Bonesaber Hybrid, you know? Oh my gosh. That was perfect barrel. 102. Oh, that was an absolute tank, but 102, I thought we had more in the tank there, dude. Oh, I'm worried the Hybrid's gonna bury it. Oh man, my bitch. I'm encountering a wee bit of a problem where on my best barrels, the Velo's not that good. One more. That felt like that was stood on. It's like the hands is hotter. I'm hitting 103s to 105s on the hands. We'll go fresh tar and everything. I'm rooting for this bat, bro. I want it to do good, but we're gonna keep it real. Yeah, that's gotta be 105. It's happening. No, Hybrid's gonna kill it. Hit hard. That's hands a little bit. 103. God, dude, it's like, yeah. You can get buzzed a little bit on the hands, and it's as hot as the sweet spot. 100. That's happened enough times to where it's somewhat concerning. All right, we're just gonna go to the Bonesaber Hybrid and see what happens. I'm a little confused right now. I feel like I'm hitting those really well. For a bat that's lighter than the goods, I would really hope that it can, you know, easily match the Velo's at the very least. 103. Why? Every time. Dang it. That was a bomb, bro. That felt like the same hit. The barrel's better on the Bonesaber Hybrid. Wait a minute. That's off the hand that stings with the gunner. Dude, this is more flexible or something, but it still retains the exit Velo, which doesn't make a lot of sense. All right. We're gonna go back to the gunner. Like, we're gonna give it another shot. It ain't looking good. Popped it up. 101. This is the best bat ever. Freaking best bat ever. Distance 416. What? 416. Okay, I mean, keep in mind, that is my PR for one, but we are in 3,500 feet elevation, so the ball flies really well, but I, dude, I haven't hit 450 with the BB core, let alone 460. That's so sick, bro. Dude, I can't endorse the gunner when you have the Bonesaber Hybrid, bro. Same price point. Yeah? Before we say our goodbyes, we're gonna get one more meaty barrel with the goods, and we're gonna give the gunner, like, two more good barrels. Yeah, that's so much heavier. Peace. Here's the thing. If you're the gunner, and you're heavier than the Bonesaber Hybrid, you gotta give me something additional. You gotta give me more sweet spot, or more exit below, or better feel, but it's none of those. And the goods is heavier than the Bonesaber Hybrid. It's at least giving me more sweet spot. Oh, wow. Tough pitch. Oh, wow. That a boy goods. 99, distance, 417. Bad day to be a baseball. What if it just shocks us here? What if it just does something bananas? Gunner, back to it. Come on, baby. That might be really good. 102. All right. Got a similar hit to my 104 with the goods right there. Gotta be five, at least. 104. And it's like, we're splitting hairs, guys, but again, it's gotta do something extra for me. If it doesn't have as good a feel, or as good a sweet spot as the Bonesaber Hybrid, or the goods, it needs to do something different, something better, and it's just not doing that right now. Even if it was the same, I'm probably going with those two bats, but I think Velos are a little less. That's more off the end. 105. There we go. Top spin, though. 102. It's a good bat. It's a pretty good bat. But so was the Omaha. So was the Easton Split. I'm trying, boys. Don't hit a car. The biggest bonus I'm getting is the taper. The handle and the taper feels fantastic. It just don't, I don't think it has. I don't think it has. Damn. Okay, we're gonna end the night with just a meaty barrel with this. Woo! That was nasty hack attack. Oh, there's no way. Bro, did you see that swing? That was nuts. What was that? 100, distance 410. This is the best bat ever. And I'm sure I'm exaggerating a little bit, but this is my baby right now, guys. 106. Yeah. Hooked. 103. This is turning into a bow-taper hybrid video. 101. Oh, okay, we're gonna call it. We're gonna call it with that. We can't lose all these baseballs, dude. It's getting expensive. 101, distance 425. All right, guys. You saw my excitement. You saw my optimism. I wanted it to be a day for the Gunner. It just was not. It was a day for the Bonesaver hybrid. So Warstick still caught the dub, but obviously I picked this first. And then I think I'd probably take the goods, you know, considering this is only $50 more than this. The swing weight's a little more on the goods, but you're definitely getting a lot more sweet spot. The Gunner just lacking a tiny bit in both sweet spot and an exit velo. If this was maybe 200 bucks, you know, we'd be talking, but same price point as those. Gotta keep it real, guys. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you next time.
