### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* After extensive research, we found the perfect bat for our 10-year-old. It boosted his confidence and impressed his teammates. We recommend avoiding two-piece composite bats as they don't last long.

* The crack of the bat is sweet, didn't sting, very light for a 30 inch, grip is comfortable. 

**CONS**



* After about two weeks, noticed the sound and feel was different on contact. Inspected the bay and found a small fracture/crack.
* The bat feels hard, but there is also a ton of sting.
* Cracked within the first couple games.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)  

**PROS**



* My 8-year-old son finds the bat comfortable, well-balanced, and lightweight, with a great grip and pop.
* My child enjoys using it. It has a satisfying sound when hit solidly, but it lacks pop due to being a USA bat.
* A little heavy for a six-year-old, but it's a good bat for raking when choking up. Great value for closeouts!
* 

**CONS**



* After using this bat in two games, my son found it disappointing as the ball didn't travel far, likely due to its weight.
* If you're looking for extreme pop and exit speed, this may not be the best option for you.
* I didn't notice much of a difference in how the ball came off this bat compared to my son's $75 bat.


### **Certifications**: 

USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

This USA bat is designed for little league or a pony leagues. It won't be a very high-performance bat and, in general, is designed for safety. Typically, your little leaguer, who uses the USA stamp, is a player at an entry-level ability. With that said, the Ghost X Hyperlite was one of the best available USA bats. But any USA bat is going to be a mediocre performer overall. The Ghost X Hyperlite is very lightweight and very easy to swing. Smaller players do well with it.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

  

**PROS**

-   My son loves his Bonesaber bat due to its large sweet spot, perfect for power hitters. It's one of the top bats in his NY little league and is highly sought-after by other kids.
    
-   My son, who plays in the 7U league, is a good hitter, especially when hitting to the opposite field. He has been practicing in the cage with the Warstick bat, and the ball jumps off the bat. This lightweight bat has made his hands quicker to the ball.
    
-   My kid loves the feel of the taper knob like a wood bat. Also, it’s a great looking bat.
    

**CONS**

-   Bat doesn't have expected power for the price. Similar "pop" to $100 Rawlings Threat. Expected better.
    
-   No pop from this bat.
    
-   Bat is not very powerful when new, vibration on mishits uncomfortable. Weight and balance good. Was hoping for more power with use.
    

  

### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, and USA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Warstic Bonesaber is a single-piece aluminum bat known for its unique flared knob. It resembles some of the wood bats that the pro ball players use. Which is why I think some players go for it. But performance-wise, it's not my favorite bat. It's stiff and a little on the heavy side.

There is no 2022 version of the Atlas. It’s compared to the single-piece Solo which also used a variable wall thickness and unique end cap to keep the bat light. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)


**PROS**



* My 14-year-old son needed a new BBCOR bat. He likes the one he got as it swings light and the barrel seems huge, although it's very loud.

* Balanced bat with a massive sweet spot which makes it easy to catch barrel. As well as great improvements in durability.

**CONS**



* Loudest bat especially in cages. Bat has a rattle in it and we have only had it 3 months.
* The bat has so much vibration.

### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Louieville Slugger Atlas is a newer bat that's been out for two years now. It's the next bat in the same generation as the Louisville Slugger Solo. It is a one-piece design, very easy to swing. Flashy paint job. It’s one of the top couple of bats in the alloy market.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I've always used Easton gear for baseball. Got this bat for my 9-year-old and it's impressive. Good pop and similar to the Easton Ghost, but with more power.
    
-   Nearly every player on our son's team uses or borrows this bat. It's popular because it hits home runs well.
    
-   I am 12 years old and I hit a home run in my last game with my Rawlings bat. Looking forward to next year!
    

**CONS**

-   I got two bats for my kids, a 29-11 and a 30-10. Both broke even though we used them properly and never misused them. I had to send them back to the manufacturer.
    
-   My son loved the bat, it improved his confidence and hitting skills. However, it cracked unexpectedly despite following the instructions. We're disappointed with the quality, and my son was heartbroken.
    
-   Although the bat was great while it worked, it's disappointing that it failed after just one year, especially not at the barrel. There seem to be manufacturing and durability issues with this expensive bat.
    

  

### Certification: USA, USSSA, BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Easton ADV 360 is a two-piece composite bat. It has a light swing and big barrel. Perfect for the younger hitter. I think it is popular because of the paint job, which is bright neon yellow. It is more of a look than a performance bat, but still a very good bat that doesn’t have a huge amount of breakage. It's an average bat for either Little League or USSSA.

-   This bat has no pop, feels like a USA bat, should be a cage bat, no pop, no pop!

The Louiseville Select PWR bat is one of the hottest bass out there for hybrids. The BBCOR model is a heavier bat and is in the same category as The Goods by DeMarini. Only about 20% of the market is going to be able to use this bat just because of it’s weight. It’s designed for a power hitter who likes a stiff feel and big barrel.

* CAT9 and CAT9 Connect are released with the new AZR alloy for a more responsive microstructure.
* CAT9 features a 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-vibration knob and additional weight below the hands for better control.
* CAT9 Connect introduces the Outer-Locking System (OLS) for an even stiffer connection and virtually zero vibrations.

**2023 - [CATX](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x/l175792), [CATX Connect](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x-connect/l175804), and [CATX Composite](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x-composite/l175805)**

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* It's an end-loaded bat, but it's very easy to swing. You have full control when going through the strike zone, no matter where the ball is over the plate.
* This bat allows you to maximize your swing speed for high ball exit velocities. The sweet spot is huge and covers almost the entire barrel of the bat, making the ball jump off the bat."
* It’s been used for about a month for cage work and early season practice. The ability to consistently barrel or square up on a pitch is better than any bat on the market. The connect version does minimize the vibration.

**CONS**



* The grip is slippery. Even with batting gloves on it’s hard to hold on to it. Easy fix with a lizard skin grip.
* Bat knob fell off after 1st time using, no pop!
* Used for one game and the knob sticker has come off already. 


### Certification: BBCOR, USSA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The CATX Connect is a hybrid bat. It's a strong performer. It's top five in the hybrid market. Very easy to swing, very well balanced. There's a good nature to it; it doesn't dent. It's very durable. But it is an end-loaded bat and a two-piece hybrid, so it's more designed for the power hitter and for stronger players.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I bought the Easton Ghost bat (28/18) for my 7-year-old son, who plays kid pitch. It's great! No vibration, excellent pop. He's excelled in batting since he started using it. Worth the cost. Highly recommended!
    
-   Bought the 29-inch version instead of the 28-inch for my 8-year-old. It makes a cracking sound, but he hits 20 feet further with it than his old bat. No vibration issues yet. Overall, a solid bat.
    
-   My 11-year-old son loved this bat. He used it in a tournament right out of the package and almost all of his team used it too. They scored 19 runs in that game.
    

**CONS**

-   Bought for 9-year-old. Looks cool but has a small sweet spot and hand vibrations. Decent pop, but needs 100 swings to break in."
    
-   Prices do NOT align with quality.
    
-   I bought the X-Evolution baseball bat on sale for my son, but it never performed well. Hits only made it to the infield, and there's a dead spot in the barrel's last 3-4 inches. This makes it challenging to hit outside pitches.
    

  
  

### Certification: USA, USSSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Ghost X Evolution is a two piece composite bat. It’s one of the better Little League bats of 2019 because it has a lighter weight and is easy to swing. In the USA marketplace, it was probably one of the better bats. It has a cool paint job, which is attractive for a Little Leaguer, where looks can often be more of a consideration than performance.

# Baum Gold Stock Baseball Bat


Baum’s wood bats are justifiably well-known for their composite technology. The Gold Stock model is the premium composite option within Baum’s lineup, featuring advanced materials designed to improve player performance while also adhering to the standards of wood bat leagues and tournaments. The Gold Stock rigorously mimics the feel of traditional wood bats without sacrificing the longevity and durability provided by modern composite materials.

Since their debut in 1993, Baum has successfully blended the classic aesthetics and feel of wood bats with the unmatched resilience of composite technology. The result offers a consistent, high-quality experience at the plate—and a competitive edge for serious athletes.

**Perfect bat for:** High school, collegiate, and professional athletes who value the traditional feel of a wood bat but require the resilience and consistent performance of composite technology.


### 
Key features include: 




* **Advanced Composite Wood Construction:** Ensures durability far beyond traditional wood bats, facilitating intense training and competition schedules. 
**BBCOR Certification:** Makes these bats a viable choice for high school and college players, adhering to league regulations.
* **Consistent Performance:** Engineered for a uniform, balanced feel that promotes a smooth swing and precise control.
* **Natural Wood Bat Aesthetics:** Offers players the classic look and feel of a wood bat with the advantages of composite technology. 
**Large Sweet Spot:** Designed to enhance contact, power, and accuracy, increasing a player's confidence at the plate.
* **Ambidextrous Design:** The Baum Gold Stock can be hit from any angle without risk of damage, unlike traditional wood bats, extending its usable life. 



### Top competitors comparison: [Victus V-Cut Maple](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/brand-victus/v-cut-34/l378387) and the [Mizuno Bamboo Elite](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/mizuno/bamboo-elite/l60030)

The Baum Gold Stock series sets itself apart from competitors like the Victus V-Cut Maple and the Mizuno Bamboo Elite by merging wood's authentic feel and performance with composite durability. While the Victus and Mizuno models offer specialized designs for power and speed, the Baum Gold Stock's unique composite wood construction delivers notable durability and a balanced swing weight. This makes it an ideal choice for heavy hitters and frequent players who require a high-performance bat that withstands the test of time and intense usage.


### Progression of Baum Gold Stock Baseball Bat

Specific annual iterations like those common in metal or composite bat lines are not as explicitly defined for models like the Gold Stock, given the nature of wood and composite wood bat manufacturing and regulation. 



### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* The bat is solid and well-balanced, with a flared knob that feels good in the hands. Thanks to its +/- sweet spot, the ball jumps off the bat.
* My son used a Baum Gold bat for years in select ball and in college. The bat lasted for 7 years of playing year-round baseball. These bats have fantastic pop, you can hear it off the bat. He hit just under 600 for the tournament.
* Bought Gold stock for 16-year-old son on coaches' recommendation (former MLB players). Broke other brands' wood bats in 30 days hitting machine balls. Coaches suggested Baum bat.

**CONS**



* Two Baum bats broke during early spring games as the outer shell deteriorated, possibly due to the cold.
* The bat I received had several "air bubbles" in the paint. Additionally, there was a smooth and flat spot where the serial number is located. However, considering the price I paid, I expected better quality control."
* We had a chip come off the end cap where it meets the barrel, and we'll send it back before the warranty expires to get it fixed.


### **Certification**: BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The Baum Gold Stock is a specialty wood bat made of maple. It has a very high-performance design for a player who uses wood a lot. It features the max legal BBCOR barrel size of around 2.5 inches. It's a bat that is often used for winter training or summer ball. The Bomb Gold Stock is durable and will last you forever.

Top competitors comparison: [The Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [Easton ADV 360](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/adv-360/l59709) 

The DeMarini Voodoo stands out primarily for its superior vibration reduction and balanced swing weight. The Louisville Slugger Meta is known for its composite barrel that provides a larger sweet spot, while the Easton ADV 360 features an ultra-light swing weight and custom Lizard Skins grip. The choice between these models often comes down to personal preference between a lean towards power (DeMarini Voodoo), sweet spot size (Louisville Slugger Meta), or customization and swing weight (Easton ADV 360).

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* I enjoy the balanced weight distribution of the bat in my hands.
* The bat has a really good swing weight, and I know it won't break easily. 
* It has a fantastic pop and an excellent feel with no vibration at all.

**CONS**


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The Voodoo is an older model. It's been discontinued and replaced by a new bat called The Goods. Both are very similar in design. The Voodoo is a heavier bat designed for larger players who want more power and distance. It's one of the better performers in that two-piece design; it's a composite handle with an alloy barrel, which means they call it a hybrid because it has both materials inside the bat (alloy and composite), giving it an enloaded feel.

Mako

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.
