Today we're reviewing the 2024 Voodoo 2-piece BBCOR (formerly known as the "Voodoo Balanced"). In theory, this should be a blend of both the Voodoo One and The Goods. Let's see how it stacks up against the Voodoo One as well as our current top-ranked BBCOR bat: the Bonesaber Hybrid.
what up what up we here with the
baseball bat Bros and today folks one of
our most requested new BB cor bats to
review we have the D Marini Voodoo
two-piece so if you remember back in the
day D Marini had the voodoo one the
voodoo insane which is now the goods
that was their end-loaded Voodoo and the
voodoo balance so you can think of this
as basically either the voodoo one
two-piece or the goods Balan we have a
smaller Barrel profile a lighter swing
weight and we're gonna see uh if this is
worth the $450 price tag we got the the
Benjy grip on there to represent that
we'll compare this to the voodo one and
also my number one ranked bat which also
happens to be a lighter swinging
two-piece hybrid the bone saer hybrid
let's get
it
dude all right here's our bats we are
working with today we have our Voodoo
two-piece we have our bone saber hybrid
you guys probably know about this bat by
now and we did an unboxing of this but
this is just the voodoo one this is the
pink Valentine's Day Edition it looks
very similar uh to the voodo 2 piece so
this way you can just tell which one is
which and we are going to be going Lefty
wheel today I finally got it polished
again I used to switch it in college
good V for me left-handed is going to be
like 103 104 on the rra SoDo we have the
same baseball for every hit today so
it's a good controlled test but we are
going to set a benchmark before we go to
the voodo two-piece uh with the voodoo I
guess we'll go Voodoo one we'll save
this for the end okay let's see how what
buns
first oh God that's loud beautiful bunt
though gosh that stings bro but that's
hit hard little Jam shot there 97
yep oh yeah now we're
talking now we're talking 102 yeah there
we go there we go 102.2 I'll show this
we got a little more in the tank I
think
ow gosh that's only almost there small
Sweet Spot guys on the voodo one it's a
hot bat but especially Lefty where my
swing's a little less refined it
exploits how much this bat kind of rings
you up if you don't really get it right
but 100 yeah it's hot
though that's pretty
good okay I've got 102 399 all right so
the Rudy one's legit definitely not my
favorite favorite bat but it's good we
will see if this can hang with it for uh
swing weight sweet spot
and exit vo and then at the end we'll
bring out the big guns and see if the
bone saber hybrid is anywhere close to
this and elephant in the room with the
voodo two-piece has always been
durability guys and especially at the
$450 price point that is a big red flag
however this is probably the most
promising year we've ever had of uh
durability on the D Marini bats in
general so for one we have a reinforced
knob and I have not heard issues about
the knob braking at all we have a
reinforced endcap uh which was also a
big problem on the Voodoo bats have not
heard issues at all this year but an
issue that this bat has along with the
goods that the voodoo one does not share
is going to be the telescoping connector
piece right here I will be a little
rough on the bat I will kind of bat flip
it tap it around a little bit just to
see if uh we can't get a telescope
failure that would be absolutely wild
but definitely the most promising year
of durability again for the voodo
two-piece I've basically written This
Bat off in the last two years just
because it was such a problem the
reviews were awful so see how it bunts
first all right so not I can already
tell that's not going to hurt my hands
as bad as the the one piece
Voodoo
okay swing white feels really good that
was not a hard hit though 97
okay just a slight
Miss some beef we've had with this bat
in the past is just swe Sweet Spot it's
a bad that feels good but just it still
has the Voodoo One Sweet Spot it just
doesn't hurt as much so you get kind of
this flimsy feeling off the hands and
off the end 94
yeah that was smashed roll over but 100
yeah
wow there we
go there we go okay I've got
101 oh
oh baral
baby all right I would really hope for
at least 102 right there
500 soft that's
soft come on 103 let's go 100 ah usually
two-piece hybrids aren't necessarily
like softer than one pieces but every
time I've swung This Bat I felt like the
voodoo one was hotter than
it
it's going to get felt
good not going to get wow it's like it's
the exact same bat but you just have
like a dampener right here that's like
guys I'm telling you that's not
Universal with two-piece bats that's
just what I find with the voodoo
two-piece and the voodoo one piece for
some reason I thought we were going to
have some new situation this year but
the last two times I've reviewed This
Bat is the same exact story all right
fellas I honest was expecting that to be
closer very unanimous if you just ask
our preference what we felt like we were
hitting the ball harder with this is
pretty average this feels like kind of a
ton down two-piece composite like the
the perfect perfect spot is almost
somehow smaller even though it doesn't
ring you up as
much let's hit one good come
on that is the meat yes 102 yeah there
we go okay one more with this one more
with the voodoo one then it's bone saber
time that's going to get but that's
still just kind of soft I
think there it is 96 I mean it's a
pretty good bat but
$450 it's not top yeah for $450 like the
the standard is up here boys okay voodo
one the pinky the love
voodoo
it's just lighter too that's a tiny bit
end
100 that's this hotter Dude 101 got 1019
all right let's cut to it bone sa
hybrid oh my
God oh my God
yeah and that's the that's the house
that 101 what was the distance on that
so my my Lefty distance PR is like
433
445
101.7 dude the barrel size it's like the
swing weight's the same as the voodo
two-piece but the barrel size is like
select power that what was it that ow
that was such a
[Applause]
tank
that's
104 it's a really different field bro I
swear okay last uh chance for the voodoo
[Music]
one
smash
smashed no I got 97 what do you got
96 it's not bad but it not for 450 no
not for 450 absolute G hack right here
out of my dang shoes
bro
dude that honestly might be 104 bro 103
oh out of my SHO
you found the Sleep spot found it I got
to do that same swing with this now I
want to see what I have in the tank
left-handed bro if that was 103 I think
I got 105 with
[Applause]
this this is just all I would swing bro
I love this bat
104
