Hitting with the Marucci CATX2 Connect | BBCOR Baseball Bat Review

what up what up we here with the baseball bat Bros and today folks the long awaited review of the maruchi cat X2 uh this is the more popular of the two at least from last year we have the two-piece hybrid cat X2 connect right here and we are going to see if this is better worse or just complete repaint of this guy right here I think one of the most popular bats in BB Corp Tons of love for this thing we're not so sure how we feel about the gray paint job as opposed to the white we do have the new anti- vibration knob apparently there's some vibration dampening Tech in the end of the bat we have a new connection that's a little more flexible it looks very similar we're going to see if it's Earth shatteringly different let's get it boom all right so our first objective is to see if these are the same bat or if this is better or if this is you know God forbid worse than last year's catx connect right here we got exit vow testing here with the wrap soda we'll let you know in terms of Swing weight feel sweet spot if I were game of bat which one I would pick between these two and here's a better little look all the way around that's pretty close and if that goes well if this is indeed better we will bust out one of the top four Gamers right here bone saber hybrid and the select power I love these bats this could get a chance to rematch against one of these if it's legit better than the connect okay [Applause] that felt very good 97 100 Barrel feels fantastic I mean they have vibration dampening here here and here so I hope it would feel fantastic that should get definitely should get all right we're on the board uh 408 [Music] ft okay 101 all right good first impression we're going to go to the cat x connect right here I got the V just so you can tell the difference better all right does sound a little bit louder on this probably a touch lighter 100 mph pretty good hit kind of hands all right okay 98 406 super super similar so far dude they're close Okay 102 we're going to open up a little bit go back and forth a few times here little heavier but but not in a bad way yeah not in a bad way at all 102 okay off the end of the bat felt really good there wow 101 it doesn't sting quite as much still 101 there on the hands that's hit pretty well that felt good okay only 98 for 409 man it really just feels like a cadx connect but the balance point is shifted out here a little bit Vos still aren't crazy fit well 103 [Music] okay 99 424 perfect perfect there it is come on need something big right there 103 almost feels more like a meta than a select power or the goods if that makes sense all right we're going back to the V connect here okay 99 390 101 420 ft yeah 103 do you feel like there's much different no okay what's let it eat on one and then we have something cool to show you guys we'll throw in the goods select power maybe the bone neor stay tuned throw it feels the same that was off the hands that was 102 though that was a pretty good hit that felt fantastic 103.7 boom hammered that dude n 102.3 only 405 huh 1032 oh I got that one good 100 for 396 kind of hands still feels great okay yeah 101 off the hands that ain't much different we will give it a chance against some of our top four bats and we have something cool to show you so for the past couple months we've been working on designing the official indoor headquarters for the bat Bros so we basically just have this giant indoor infield now where we can go deeper with our testing and uh we're going to start off here with the cadx connect 2 pretty good Barrel there okay it is 99 almost perfect perfect let's see late read dang that is lower than I thought that's perfect perfect just a little low yeah [Music] 102.2 just hands yeah 99 perfect perfect there it is dude we'll try these other bats but that isn't that good it's good enough to get the JW done but like I think there's BB cor bats that are hotter than that this isn't even necessarily one of them we got the select power big forgiving Barrel it's off the hands 100 oh that sounds amazing shoot 103 there oh my goodness 103 just [Music] end I think this is a little better on those slight misses I think I still got the select power guys 104 all right our top rank two-piece hybrid right now we got the war stick bone saber hybrid freaking like that dude baby s oh jeez I still have a sticker on here off the hands 101 what the oh my gosh dude okay we're going to give give this guy one more shot dude The Sweet Spot feels so good that felt like perfect perfect but again it feels more like a meta than it does a select power bone saber hybrid it's still a great contact hitting bat I just think the select and the bone saber are better yeah I I'm rooting for this thing but man while we're at it I want to try one with this cuz a lot of you guys are choosing between four bats like this yep the kind of end D last one I freaking ate that ball dude it's a great contact hitting back guys but it's just not that two-piece hybrid of a of a two-piece hybrid I probably got one two 3 4 it's just pretty much the most competitive space ever I mean these are all top eight bats these are all almost top five five bats honestly but if you just want a big forgiving Barrel this is good but the last cadex connect is amazing just not going to change a lot in our rankings or on our bat Bros scale with this guy
