Hitting with the CHEAPEST BBCOR BASEBALL BAT | $80 Easton Speed vs. $500 Rawlings Icon

what up what up we here with the baseball bat Bros and today folks we have the cheapest BB cor bat we could find right here we have last year's eastn speed I got this at Walmart for $79.99 80 bucks by far the cheapest BB Corbat you can find and here we have the 2025 eastn speed kind of clunky looking but this is only $110 and today we're going to find out how much of a difference is there really between a $500 to piece composite BB core and the cheapest BB core bat on the market let's get it what all right folks so here's our lineup today we have our $80 eastn speed our $110 eastn speed I think it would be useful for everyone if we put a bat kind of in the middle ground here uh $250 Rawlings clout AI this is ranked fifth overall for us really really good bat for not tooo much money and what we want to find out today is when you're paying a lot of money for a BB Corp what are you actually paying for are you paying for pop exit V Sweet Spot swing weight all of the above we're going to find out uh we'll set a baseline even with the two-piece composite in a perfect world if the economics of all of this are right this should be the hottest bat but let's find out 98 all right $500 hands well 107 dist 48 107 oh that's Beast 11 woo freaking Hammer dude 109 distance 404 all right so 107 to 110 with our $500 bat we would hope to see that it's very expensive but shout out to This Bat it's very good so we're going to go down $420 to the speed right here so you might think going into this that this bat is going to suck however we have a little bit of video evidence that's been floating around the internet to maybe think otherwise [Music] go baby blatty Jr and King ofo made this thing look incredible so we're going to find out if this thing can bang if if Vos are even close uh if sweet spot and swing weight are close so let's see bn's good it's a lot heavier that's hit well man 107 107 it feels like a just a solid metal pipe it's like a full ounce heavier it feels like what distance 4 15 wow pop does not seem to be an issue ouch get ball 98 distance 391 okay average Vos are definitely down but more than anything it just feels like cuz the sweet spots really small if you get it out towards the end of the bat at all with this just cuz it's so heavy it it really really hits well oh perfect Perfect Dude smoked 105 398 all right a little less let's get one [Music] more perfect perfect come on 106 a so I'd say on average probably about 2 m hour down which you know doesn't seem that sign significant but that equates to about 10 ft of distance uh we'll try out the 2025 now all right give you a little closer look here $110 PE 109 what bro that's actually crazy that's that's fantastic guys the one thing I do have a little bit of an issue with so you would think that a a a budget bat a $100 bat is going to be friendly for your new to BB Corp kind of you know getting into baseball sort of consumer this strikes me way more as like an advanc College D1 hitter type of bat I swing This Bat well cuz I'm comfortable with the drop three swing weight if you go from like a catx or a voodoo one to this it's going to literally feel like you're swinging a wood bat and I I think that's probably the best comparison I have is this feels like a wood bat you see the Vos are roughly 2 m hour down uh The Sweet Spot is way further out on the barrel and a little bit smaller and the swing weight is noticeably heavier into the bat kind of bro that's St And1 ow 106 423 it is not that that crazy different I would say the lower the level of player you are the more you're going to feel the difference between those two bats again not because of pop but because of sweet spot and swing weight it's like going from a metal bat to a maple wood bat okay we're going to go back to our $500 bat here that's H well kind a soft swing 110 wow okay that's a little hotter the pop is a little better but more so than the pop it just feels like this is a little bit easier to hit with so like you're paying more than anything for just a little bit easier time finding barrels oh my Lord okay 110 47 I just really want to make sure you guys don't think that you're spending $400 more for 7 mph of extra exit V especially you know if you're hitting 80 mph 90 mph exit Vos you're going to see like one and a half one maybe two degrees of separation between the cheap bats and the expensive bats it's just a little easier to catch barrel but that's a small gap for $400 so I would hope that we can find some sort of happy medium today with our $250 bat I'd be bummed out if this isn't competing with the icon at the very least so we have the Rawlings clout 250 it's going to be a lot louder that feels good 10 really time to end that Bros yes sir 10 time of hands way way out oh what did that hit dude forget the price difference this might be better than the icon to straight up dude it's it's so easy to catch barrels with this still oh my goodness 106 4 everything considered guys this is the move bang for your buck but I'm telling you I I think this might be better than the icon we'll get one last one with each bat just to increase our sample size a little bit gosh that feels awful but it hits bro 103 440 okay end the bat Hammer 105 H sorry it just changed 107 there we go yeah okay $500 icon 106 one more dude that felt pretty good there it is that's as good as I can get it 108 Hammer bro 11 [Music] 110 108 435 do not spend more than $350 on a BB core bat unless that feel sweet spot really really really matters to you guys cuz the clout and the atlas I think have more than enough sweet spot to really succeed at the high school level so and I would love to say you know this is an amazing budget bat really good bang for your buck but like I said earlier guys it's just really built for more of a college guy as opposed to a high school guy whereas this is going to be a lot more friendly to a high school hitter uh we'll put up all the bat row scales and you see these These are power bats despite the name speed they are heavy brute bomb hitting bats I would love to see some Easton schools swinging these bats I know East doesn't push these bats but I really really genuinely think that in the in the hands of a good D1 player these things would perform very very very well cuz it again it swings a lot like a wood bat but winner of the day folks the Rawlings clout AI huge thumbs up for 250 bucks I really don't think you need to pay much north of this for a BB core for the adver high school hitter
