Batsmash Bat Reviewing Caveman

BatSmash presents B.A.T., a group of baseball-lovers here to help.

Thomas J. Barnett, a former but lifelong baseball and passionate about helping new players with providing reviews on softball and baseball bats to purchase. He formed batsmash.com, with a passion to explore and find a right bat that a player should but according to his playing style. He explores top bats from brands like Easton, Louisville, and DeMarini.

The B.A.T. was formed in 2020 as Barnett came across this common issue - younger players simply have a hard time discovering the best baseball bat for them.

VICTUS VANDAL BBCOR Baseball Bat Review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATJxNrsdry0

Mad Max only live from closeout bats and
today I'm talking about
victus BB core baseball bats for 2020
and guys this really excites me we've
known victus since day one of their
operation there are a Jersey slash kind
of Philadelphia company so we kind of
are very local to them met them at a
show a couple years ago so we're really
excited for the growth that they've done
you know personal friends as well as
obviously you know we've done obviously
a lot of different stuff with our wood
bats victus is known for the wood bats
but now they are getting into the BBCOR
space which we were super excited and
super obviously happy for these guys
right here so let's talk about the
technology in this back so this pad is
gonna be a victus PD for baseball bat
this bat will be a one-piece aluminum
bat but it's a hybrid design so it's
gonna have some different interesting
type of technology factors to it so
other than being a one-piece aluminum
bat it will be the hybrid hybrid means
it's gonna use some composite in it it
will have a composite end cap to it so
you're gonna see right up until there
basically you're gonna have that
composite end cap similar design to
other bats that we've seen from other
manufacturers simply like that wrong V
low that you know axe uses stuff like
that with their hyper whip that's from a
couple years ago basically what this
technology does is allow for the latest
swing weight possible on a bat like this
and allows for take away any vibration
that's gonna happen in this hands area
and allow the bat to get through the
zone the quickest way possible so that's
gonna be really key with about like this
it will also have a ringless free barrel
technology to it so when BBCOR first
came out which is the high school /
college
standard as well some 7th and 8th
graders had to use that technology as
well and still have to use that
technology as well these bats had rings
right in the barrel of them which we
take away some essentially of that
performance to it that pop so now it
won't have that to it so victus as well
as some other manufacturers like maruti
who actually owns victus has found a way
to create that barrel to give it a
little bit longer sweet spot to it and
take away that ring so they're now
advertising their bets will be ringless
free barrel technology which is very
true and a major factor in the BB horse
space now this bed will also come with
different sizes to it so for a younger
kid that's saying that 78th grade
setting that has to swing that Buick
we're back this pebble will be available
on a 31 inch as well as you find 30 to
33 and 34 and really cool-looking victus
is no
for obviously their graphics on their
wood bats they did not disappoint this
year
black and gold looks really really cool
white as well at Intuit and the name the
vandal - it kind of just puts the cherry
on top and we're super excited and if
you're looking for the victus beuker
baseball bat for 2020 you can find out
in the close-up that's website this year
where you could always shop smart and
you could save big box

all right buddy victus vandal that's
that's the beef across the 33 or 32 what
is it sander it's beautiful right I
think vicious and you would expect
nothing less Vindictus right yeah
seriously pretty single piece of
aluminum come has a composite end cap
you can't really they don't really make
a line or anything where you can see the
composite end cap it's sort of you know
we like to think of it I mean people
would like to think of it as a Marucci
cat eight sort of barrel I mean victus
is owned by Marucci after all and with
an end cap like the V low although
frankly the V low sort of does what Meru
cheek a date has been doing it's been
doing it for longer that is they've been
manipulating the inside of their barrel
to make it bigger I don't think the cat
I don't think the V Lowe gets as bitter
reviews as the cat does but in any event
a extended composite end cap with some
manipulations inside the barrel to make
it bigger
that sounds very V Lowe asked to us but
it's more of that multi variable wall
that Marucci has in the caddy that have
made famous and I think because the
victus is owned by Marucci people think
oh this is a cat eight with the extended
compositive okay fair enough we actually
think it's more like a below but in any
event what do you think I like it super
light super light good that's that's
that's that's what I think they're going
for yeah pop off the barrel if you can
square it up it flies right yeah her
trans if you hit off the end cap in it
and it's loud yeah yeah I should we sell
that one it's loud huh like loud loud
yeah like be like v lo loud shocker it
sounds it sounds a lot like the V low to
me not caddy seems a little more it
sounds like a bell this one sounds more
like a anvil you know anyways I don't
know if they can pick it up on video
how's the grip man how's it look like he
actually a tongue it's like just feels
like we're agree which cuz it is but
yeah I don't know I don't know I mean
they're owned by the same company we
don't know how much R&D they did
together but clearly Victor's probably
felt felt comfortable taking some things
from Marucci
in terms of just their idea but it is
that same kind of grip on that cat ape
it's obviously black instead of that
gray which the cat usually is depending
on which version you get now but it only
comes in BB core this year and sizes up
top of my head I'm not sure probably 31
to 34 kind of thing I'm not I'm not
exactly sure but you know if you want a
light swinging BB core bat sort that
single piece V low space so low space
5150 kind of space
dude this this is a good this is a good
option and it looks cool it's kind of
the new kid on the block and we we think
victus especially the back of Marucci
wouldn't be willing to put something out
that wasn't actually pretty good so
we're confident is gonna get good
ratings and we'll see what they come up
with next year be fun to see some
different sizes come out for sure but at
the end of the day we'll take what we
can get it's fun to see new companies
put their stuff out and that's it 2020
victus vandal without have been great
ending if you would have crushed that
one you know that'd have been a perfect
ending but it was down it was down on
the count oh come on one more
the 2020 victus vandal
