How much hotter is a METAL BAT than a WOOD BAT? | Baseball Bat Bros feat. PJ Morlando

what up what up we here with the baseball bat Bros and today folks we are asking the age-old question how much hotter is a BB core bat really than a wood bat you'll see a lot of chatter in the baseball Community these days talking about how Charlie Condon setting records but he has a metal bat Jack kagon hitting the ball 500 ft but he's got a metal bat I think it's a lot closer than a lot of you guys think we're going to see exactly what it looks like and we are joined friend of the channel PJ morlando you might have heard of him second objective today I'm going to try to beat PJ in exit vo what are the odds at bring it on man it's the same thing as saying Wood's better than metal oh plus 140 will place your bets let's get it let's go all right so we got three stages to our video today first we are going to set a baseline with the current high school and college baseball certification for baseball bats a lot of you might not know that this was actually a switch to make the bat safer and more like a wood bat right here so we will see how close to a wood bat it really is this is what made a lot of you think the way you think about Metal bats uh I don't blame you these things are crazy and even a decade later they just don't make them quite like this anymore the stealth comp beer but first we're going to set a little Baseline exit velocity with our metal BB cor bats I got a composite Rawling zcon and we are out here at the beautiful Shipyard Park 390 to Center 325 down the lines okay good man let's see how the ball is flying Good Start uh 99 milph not quite there okay that's our high so far though 102.3 that's about it oh baby 108 all right what's the gamer all right so you know I got that bomb pop War stick bone saber right here 33.5 see how it goes 107 dude I mean you're good 107 [Applause] yeah he's on the board he's way on the board fi all right so what was your goal uh 105 what do you think that was I don't know probably 104 he's better better than he thought 112 445 shut up dude let's go hey [Applause] 112 99 oh one more that was it I just missed it where we going here I'm going to get a hold of dude I think 112's plenty appropriate oh no 113 game three oh boy yes sir I just got freaking walked on boys uh we got 113 to beat we're going to go to the goods one piece good swing 102.7 1078 but it's got to be like 10 launch or better that's yes sirash it did it actually I feel like a little kid out here bro [Applause] 1117 watch out broke is webbing 104 that sounds good 111 I want to try that one for all right it's a three but that's fine yeah just one barrel I just want to feel it um 114 I felt about right 148 I felt about right you hammered that yeah no that Ball's killed you swung the heck out of the thing 111 it's good right yeah okay we're going to try one with the bomb pop here going to get yeah metal bat bomb [Applause] 104 spash ah 104 oh my lord lord yo that was crazy basically 110 455 all right hey this bad is true will hey you hit the boat and it landed back on the dock let's go let's go did PJ hit the boat I didn't think so all right all right boat bombs baby all right going on to our wood bat round here so from your experience what would you guess our difference is going to be you were at 112 to 114 I think we're going to be down maybe 2 to three I don't think it's going to be that much different and I think the Barrel feels a little bit better so we're going to see so you're going for 110 with wood I'm going for it I no promises but I'm going for it I'm going for 105 let's see let's do it all right I got the aunia Old Hickory right here trying to end 99 that's a barrel dude 105 flat stop it you might have been right on dude all right metal bat that was a home run yes what it was measured it out 98.7 slightly worse hitter overall real good Barrel woo 103 so stop it that goes that's stop it I'm telling you the barrel feels better that's 101 418 that's that's good gosh that's a shot 108. 7 that Ball's killed I don't I don't know if it reads but that's killed 107 all right we're going Birch right here the 271 yeah dude that's still just hammered 103 dude it's still gets her done 1052 that's loud 1044 oh that's the gamer huh yeah yeah 106 380 gosh I just I love wood bats man good gra hit the other field yeah it's 104 407 so Vos are down but okay you're getting like better Back Spin better trajectory I still going to hold my case maybe maybe I'm off about the exit Vos but I still think that this through the zone is better than a BB core you get way more backp you like it well cuz you're strong bro I'm sweating so bad after swinging these things dude oh this is going to be it oh got him that's in the water come on yes indeed how was a warm swing 105 380 oh Back Spin one like that bro yeah 111 sted oh that ball is killed I don't know I don't know come on no 111 again all right one with PJ's back here sounds good this sounds ridiculous bro this is good bro boy let's go SM 104 3 to four 15 20 ft maybe they're a little better they're definitely a little better but they are not anything like these so have you ever swung a '90s bat I have it was the orange stealth that's not even 90s bro this kid's young boys all right try this that's very fast 115 112 and I'm swinging the I think 2008 regular Flex version of the stealth comp so this is basically the orange stealth comp just missed aw hit the boat 109 453 1096 last one it is we're losing all our baseballs 11 118 oh man oh boy yo where did it land 117 it didn't get a distance second base second base on that field I'll give you a distance let go that's going to be like 480 man that's a hell of a guess 478 78 hey it's pretty good bro at C Level go bab back where I live that's five all right so we'll get PJ's thoughts here as well but first let's show you our average exit V splits between all three bats so first with our wood bats our combined average exit velocity was about 104 mph and then comparing in that to our BB cor bats we're about plus three exactly plus 3.2 mph 1 mph of exit Belo at the same launch angle at like a 30° launch angle should result in about 5 extra feet so we're really only looking at about a 15 to 20 foot Max increase from a BB core bat when compared to a wood bat so not that crazy of a difference and it makes perfect sense when we look at the Juiced bats so the reflex in the stealth comp average exit velocity of 112.5 mph astronomically above both of these bats up to 40 even maybe 50 fet more than a wood bat looking at these old school metal bats so that would make sense why a lot of the Old School Baseball fans are going to think that metal bats are so so much better but in the BB core era I think BB cor has done a pretty good job of making these quite a bit more uh like a wood bat however I will say especially you're going to see this more exposed among younger baseball players wood bats are a little bit heavier the sweet Bots are less forgiving they sting your hands more you're not going to get as many cheap hits off the end of the bat or off the hands and we definitely felt that today but the better the hitter is the less you're going to notice a huge difference from wood to metal and metal to Wood you can see that with a guy like PJ he absolutely mashes with both so let's get his thoughts you probably game wood compared to metal just about as much as anybody so yeah absolutely so I think the exos I mean it's proven that it's hotter yeah um but personally I'd rather swing wood all day of the week um obviously you get more cheap hits with this but when I hit a barrel with this one it feels so much better more rewarding um especially facing better caliber pitching a wood bat is definitely the way to go I mean you can back spin balls way farther than you could Back Spin A baseball with this and for the record I think hitting with the wood bat is way harder PJ is just really strong
