I bought the cheapest bat from Walmart

All right folks so in the spirit of March madness I have eight hundred dollars worth of bats right here and we are gonna put them on upset alert So we are here at our local neighborhood walmart and we're gonna see if we can find a cinderella story 16 seed to knock these bats off. Let's see what they have. All right, we're going in All right. Last time I was here. They had a bb core bat Yes, bro, where's this is it? But where's the price tag? Bb core quantum 98 bucks retail price not even a discount bro. That just looks like a freaking metal club Feels fine All right. How bad can they possibly make this thing? Are these bb cores? No, that's usa. That's usa Pro they got this is a lowly selection. They don't have wood bats. I need a wood bat too All right, let's at least buy this for now 98 bucks Uh need the receipt in case this bat's terrible. All right Official let's go. Thank you All right, let's check if they have pokemon Damn, hey, we got what we came for. All right, so we got our metal bat walmart does not have wood bats though We are filming this video in texas. We leave tonight and they do have academy sports out there, which is basically walmart But like for sporting goods and they typically do have cheap wood bats there. So, uh, we'll see you guys in texas A few moments later All right, our cheapest option here looks like this rawlings ash for 50 bucks And we've got a 33 does not look like much Those grains are tiny. They're also a hair crooked, but that'll play. This is definitely a gamble And our lovely field today is here at west texas a&m university. Honestly a sick d2 field We have 405 tall fence to center 310 with a funky kind of green monster, but it shoots out pretty far to left center So we'll start today off with our wood bat showdown $50 versus I think 400 I could get eight of these Or one of these our expensive bat is going to need to do something special to justify that price. But let's see the colossus Fake wood bat here just oh my god The barrel size is ridiculous. I don't think this is even gonna fit Yeah That was not gonna happen there. So not particularly close from a looks perspective. All right, this is straight gambling folks $50 no warranty if this breaks i'm cooked Ow That hurts A little fly out for 85. Thank god. We're not using the hard balls yet Okay that stung but it felt like better barrel at least 99 99 after all it is a piece of a tree still Oh my gosh Did that clear the scoreboard 104.4 for 400 folks i'm telling you the the issue with The cheap wood bats as long as the weighting is reasonable. Sometimes you'll get a 27 ounce Sometimes you'll get a 36 ounce but the weighting on this is good If you can bring a scale with you to walmart or academy, I would recommend it But the pop is usually fine because again, it's just wood is a tree. It's not that crazy, but the grain integrity Can be bad to the point where these bats are really suspect when it comes to durability It also hurts my hands quite a bit. The performance is there. I just want this thing to survive We'll give it a couple hard balls, too but for now Let's stick the course Bro, I think it's actually okay. It sounds fine 1017 It really stings respectable 96.8 366 Yeah Hit really well, man All right 104.6 Dude, you can't ask for more. I think we need to give it one barrel with a hard ball though And i'm sacrificing the bones in my hands dude, I feel like the barrel's already flaking let me bunt one first just for my own sanity That feels heavy Yes It's actually pretty good bro Like to be clear guys. This is still a absolute gamble I appear to be a lucky gambler, but you are rolling the dice with a bat like this You're I might show the other camera here I don't know. Oh my god, you can really tell 10 swings in that top layer of ash wood is already peeling away So we now will revisit the most expensive wood bat pretty much ever made This is actually the new 2.0 version of the Delano. You might recall we previously swung And it was so hot, but it broke the barrel actually exploded Apparently they've reinforced the barrel. Let's see if this thing is still the truth All right, this bat better freaking rip if it's gonna be eight times the price of our other bat Oh, that sounds crazy. All right. These are the champros, right? That's very end of the bat very end Oh, I went over the scoreboard. All right, that's that's a good sign It needs to be crazy That sounds way different Dude that sounds way different 105 5 4 0 7 God, it's good I don't know how people are considering this a wood bat. Honestly, but hey, i'll let it slide 106 4. Oh, it's clapping it Let's give it one hard ball dude, that's 106 again That's fast 108.2 bro Jeez Okay. I want to try to hit a ball 450 with this 106 7 4 0 5 Oh God that's pieced Bro 108.6 All right. I want to see if the cheapo can survive just hard balls now cool God, it feels nice 104 It didn't sound oh my gosh I'm, not gonna show the barrel that went 103 4 10 I'm, not gonna show the barrel watch your lips cam It was all right Watch your lips cam That went 103 Yo, that was low-key ripped so unfortunately in today's wood bat market This is what a $50 wood bat gets you and the biggest issue with that Besides the fact that it blew up in 25 swings is that I now have to completely buy a new one There's no warranty whatsoever typically with the really expensive bats Like they're they're better and more durable, but more often they have like a full one-year warranty so that's really kind of what you're paying for besides the performance, but I mean that bro it performed fine, but That's pathetic And this matchup, I know a lot of you think this might be a blood bath Also, i'm telling you this could be interesting i'm thinking if easton is selling this bat retail for like 90 They probably spent about 20 to make this bat And if this is as good as what in my opinion is the best bb core bat in the 400 plus price range The rawlings icon one piece that tells me they can probably make this for pretty cheap as well So again, that would be huge for the people, but let's see you could get four of these or one of these We'll see. What is the better value? I think we should go expensive first this time We're gonna start with the expensive bat. See what happens here End of the bat really light swinging man Yeah, gosh Easier to swing and a lot more forgiving than the wood bats See that's hands man Okay And the forgiveness on these is just nuts 103 415 Jeez hey 107 with the softballs. Let's get a hard ball. See what this can do here God dang 112.6 That's gonna be hard to beat guys. Let's get a 450 though God this feels good with the harder baseballs 109 too smell ya Oh my 450 let's go 112.4 452 and four inches that bat's freaking good and I I could you know kind of Fluff this video up and give you guys a 500 bat. That isn't very good and paint a different narrative That bat might be worth 400 Is this bat? Worth 88 or whatever dollars the east and quantum world premiere on the bat bros the people's bat Let's go. We were up to 107 with the softies What i've found with cheap bb core bats is that the floor is never very low You can make a sneaky good bat for not a lot of money you trip different story wood different story, but Bro, it's god. It's good I think in bb core they are just marking up the prices of the expensive bats really severely. That was 106 This is actually good It felt great. I mean I barreled it It's a little bit end loaded and I also I did re-grip it the grip was like it was so bulky It almost felt like they were trying to make it feel worse. I put a thinner grip and First swing was delightful I didn't get that great That's gone, huh Ah trick pimp to fly out 99 393 Sorry cam. I'm, okay. There's only one of three. You're fine, dude bro Dude, like i'm surprised they let a bat through this good. That's that cheap That's 106 again. Like do you guys remember the easton speed? It was the mystery bat video Yeah, this thing's a club but it absolutely smokes the ball. Oh, yes 109 you can buy this thing at freaking actual walmart. Like this has me tripping out This is dude. This feels as good as some 200 $300 bats Like i'm ripping those it feels nice 105 too Let's do one more champ, bro. See if we get 107 I'm, not getting rung up a lot Dude, that's like kind of end of the bat Off the end 98 390 hard ball time. We're hunting for 113 Dude I hit that so hard first swing That was fast dude the industry's messed up 113 For the people there is a performance limit on these bats So it's not hard to make one that's good enough And all the extra money they're putting into these bats just goes to making it a little bit lighter Maybe a better sweet spot. This is lighter I think what we should probably do is swing a bat with a little more appropriate swing weight So we're gonna go last round against the combat. All right combat softball. We're hunting for 107 Yeah, this is more the right swing weight God the barrel's a lot better on this This is better than the icon. I think Yeah, it's 107 5 4 25. Okay hard ball We're hunting 113 then we're gonna give the old walmart special one more The barrel's bigger like i'm not getting those perfect, bro Yeah 110 444 Okay, perfect perfect time 460 maybe Gosh freaking dude I rake with this bro 110 440 one more. Let's get a liner No Foul, that was a bomb too Hate to see it 112 435 Dude, I turn into frank thomas with this bat 113 Okay, i'm it's like not the velos that make the difference Kind of similar to the wood bats. It's just like i'm getting like 108 plus Across just a stupid range. I guess we didn't even look at the barrel size That I don't I do feel like that kind of represents what i'm feeling. That's not always True to how the bats feel but in this case that kind of is however, the combat is hard to find It's always sold out and this bat I found at walmart for a humble 88 The price of a nice steak and we're gonna see if we can pop a little 115 for america Oh little hands, maybe 108 433 dog i'm telling you if judd uttermark Justin lebron drew burris donkey from freaking dallas baptist if they swung this bat I genuinely believe with all my heart. They're still hitting 25 pumps. I can't emphasize enough how Minuscule the actual difference is especially in the hands of a good hitter when it comes to the pop between a cheap End loaded one piece alloy bb core bat and some of the higher end bats I think the biggest difference is going to be in the hands of a less experienced smaller hitter That really benefits a little bit more from the lighter swing weights of something like the icon And the more forgiving barrel when they're in the cages getting rung up and stuff but if you can get the head out and control a little bit of swing weight, bro, like If you're just a juco guy just running on fumes and you don't have any money I promise this plays dude. It kind of swings like a wood bat like my brother would kill with this dude, honestly Bro it feels like i'm hitting with the goods one piece at least 108 That's a dude that's a fair ball, come on, yeah, that's as good as I got man 109 435 Yeah, I couldn't prove it. All right, let's give one last chance for the rollings Kind of brought the hands in that was hard though 110.5 One more dude, I love hitting here if you're a hitter you need to probably play here bro 429 That could be That could be far but I might have side spun it too much 110 429. All right in the restricted performance era of bb core in usa You don't have to spend a lot of money, especially if you're a good hitter Wood bats and you trip different story, but i'll leave it to your judgment guys But I I swear that that has been my experience for multiple years of swinging these cheat bats Yeah, this is vulnerable, bro
