Hitting with the 2025 MARUCCI CATX2 (1-piece) | BBCOR Baseball Bat Review

what up what up Will here with the baseball bat Bros and today folks we are swinging the maruchi cat X2 we have the one piece today uh we did the two-piece connect review it fit pretty well man it really just feels like a cadex connect but the balance point is shifted out here a little bit and it was just almost a repaint so uh here we have the the silver design I called it the Louis Vuitton but I I was corrected it is a steel great design it looks okay not as cool as the white in my opinion but few things we want to check out today number one is this a repaint or is it different from last year's cadex number two is it better than the two-piece in past years we've always liked the connect version a little more than the one piece this should be a little different though so we'll see and number three the big question is it Atlas material is it going to crack our top five in the rankings let's get it yeah so this will go really far down oh my gosh that's yeah really far down oh there you go yeah like half an inch there like a little bit right excellent hey new bat bro sign check it out all right a lot like the cadx from last year maybe a little more Atlas see though that feels good 101 pay off the hands felt pretty good 100 man I'm liking it taper feels amazing 101 just a Miss 100 still really feels like a contact hitting light bat though it doesn't really power through the ball you don't feel like the ball is just bouncing off the bat like you do with a Goods or something like that there we go that's that's perfect Barrel okay that's it really well 105 that's pretty good similar to last year's it's hard to elevate the ball that is standard with balanc balance bats just the physics of it for some reason you hit more line drives and grounders it doesn't Back Spin and get under the ball quite as well all right now we got last year's White cadex kind off the end I don't know bro 105 this feels a little more flexed it almost feels more forgiving that's to wow all right 103 sheesh that says that says 450 I don't know about that wow 102 425 all right let me know what you think 105 if anything I like this yeah let's see what you think that that that stings more like a real one piece okay this feels more buttery almost good start hey [Music] babe yeah I'm it's pretty soft bro it feels like a softer Voodoo one that was my first impression but like I was late on it I could get it through that was pce 100 milph he's on the board let's go good swing 97 okay see if you can notice any difference you might think it's the exact [Music] same 97 so [Music] similar Uno good swing all right Hest first impression do you think they're different no I think they're the exact same P really oh yikes all right all right so first test didn't go that that amazing uh if anything last year has probably felt a little better but for most people you probably won't notice a difference honestly so now we're going to see if we like to connect more yeah for sure that felt Awesome 101 this is better bro is that middle middle br yeah yeah 104 385 we'll get one more I think this smokes it if you're like a freshman in high school and you like are undersized it's probably not a bad bat but like just swing a 31 yeah you know [Music] [Music] H it feels like I just feels like I have too much Barrel control almost yeah even like off the barrel I can still feel it but it's very light so if you want something that is very light it's good bat for you feels like a toy it's like it's a good bat but I can feel the barrel on that one as a hitter you want to be able to like yeah feel the barrel so like I would go down an inch before I SW this it's too light honestly like I feel that way about the voodoo one sometimes even it's just it's really really balanced it can be hard to find that Barrel the extra inch length isn't worth it if swing weight is that big of a deal to you uh we're going to try it against the atlas I don't think it's going to beat the atlas but we told you we'll do it so we'll keep an open mind here that felt good that was right on the barrel 99 there we go end 95 there we go that's a bomb huge right there okay 101 429 all right Atlas buns great buns with the best of them 39 that's end dude The Sweet Spot what 105 it's not a combo The Sweet Spot DFS it so much bigger pretty good Barrel 105 we did it oh my gosh look at those wow furthest BB core hit ever what that was it here that was my furthest BB cor hit of all time makes sense 478 baby 108 Jee oh didn't hit a car 101 yeah that's game [Applause] sleepe it's over the road 99 426 bro I that was off the end like I did not feel the perfect bar you smashed that4 I can feel it it's like ringing I got big old padded gloves on too the feedback on that one isn't great I'm actually kind of surprised that was past 99 all right out of all the bats you swung today what are you gaming give me the atlas 100% for sure yeah all right got to listen to the man it's just obvious when you hit a barrel and it hurts your hand still it's like annoying all right outro what you got all right obviously Atlas wins this is this is the bone saber and select power three best BB core bats we already know that cadx yeah if you're if you want a light back go for it but like like will said might as well just go down an inch like a 32 and then swing like a good some with more pop so I think it's the same as the the previous year uh cat and you know what good try not for me but that's my opinion
