Description

For those players that started with a small barrel COMBAT, you will not be disappointed in the all new B4 youth big barrel bat. For those of you that have never experienced the COMBAT difference, here is what you can expect: a swing weight that is right on point, a sweet spot that's almost not even fair, and zero sting/vibration. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It all starts with COMBAT's Localized Stiffening Technology that allows their engineers to lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweet spot, resulting in an enlarged Double Sweetspot area where absolute maximum performance can be achieved! The 100% composite, one-piece Portent utilizes COMBAT's Blended Fiber Technology that blends several different fibers in varying proportions at carefully controlled angles to create a composite material that results in both resilient durability and increased trampoline effect. Separation Barrier Technology also allows this bat to be HOT out of the wrapper! The B4 Portent draws much of its durability from its Seamless Construction; meaning that there are not cuts or splices - just continuous fiber all the way around. Feel, Durability, and Sweet Spot. That's what makes COMBAT the preferred composite bat. COMBAT: For Players, By Players! The B4 Portent features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Best bat we've owned Ryan C coach

Pros: My son is 11. We've tried several brands now in the last 4-5 yrs of playing baseball. For whatever reason, since we've owned the COMbat, his batting average has jumped dramatically. Several team mates have all jumped on the wagon and use his bat during tournaments and are experiencing similar results. Even if it might be in their head, its a good thing. I've noticed an increase in distance off this bat though for sure. It took about two weeks of BP to break it in. Not as long as I expected. Finally, my son expressed how much he likes the wrap on the handle much better than any bat he's had before. We will definitely buy this brand again.

Cons: Since this bat is fairly new I can't really rate the durability category yet. I gave it a five, but the jury is still out. So far, So good

BETTER OPTIONS baseball_legend player

Pros: bat has decent pop, also i like the plain black color. The grip is actually not that bad.

Cons: I have swung every bat from the combat, to the CF4 and CF5, i have also swung the easton S1 and Xl1. If your going to spend this much on a bat, i strongly advise swinging an easton S1 or XL1. these bats are about the same price and have way better look, pop, and grip. DONT GET THIS BAT

Team Combat!!!! Sam Owen parent

Pros: My son plays on a travel ball team and one of his teammate got this bat and talking with his dad he was very impressed with it and his son likes it too. So I had my son used it on one of his at bats in a game and he smashed the ball to the outfield. So I bought it and he has been cracking the ball in a few games.

Cons: You not buying this bat yet!!!

Hot with POP!!! Baseball Fan/Coach coach

Pros: If you are looking for a well balanced bat that will increase your players bat speed, but also deliver a lot of pop...then this is the bat. We all know increased speed will result in power, but this bat is top quality. You will notice from the first time your player hits in the cage and/or does some tee work that the balls will be jumping off the bat. For sure has that extra little POP I love to see when my son hits the ball. Looks cool too!!

Cons: none

Par at best Upset Dad parent

Pros: Light big barrel looks nice. Had good pop and built confidence . 11 year old 105 lbs 5' tall, 30/18

Cons: Bat shattered during practice only 3 months old. Combat replaced, took 4 weeks , during holidays. The bat it was replaced with had the finish flaking off and Combat said that was ok and would not reissue another one. I purchased CF6 as soon as I received that email from Combat. Never again

NOT HAPPY WITH THE BAT David coach

Pros: despite the sweet spot location, the ball comes off the barrel fast.

Cons: bad sweet spot location. deep on the barrel where the "C" in "COMBAT" is located. may be due to the bat needing to be broken in but not happy with its out of wrapper performance. was not expecting this. shouldve known since other models from combat have been a disappointment to me. just curios as to how other players bat are soo hott and mines not.

Great Bat!!! BaseballFan coach

Pros: Combat does not disappoint!! My son has used the Portent and the Bubba -12 now. His bat speed and average has increased greatly. The Portent has outstanding pop out of the wrapper better than most bats I have seen. Also it is extremely balanced and has a good size sweet spot. I truly believe that this well made bat will add distance to anyones drives due to the high quality construction, and faster speed from the light well balanced swing therefore creating more power.

Cons: none

Great kid big barrel Coach k. coach

Pros: My kid loves the look + feel of this bat. He seems to hit doubles effortlessly, while his singles are laser sharp. He is a smaller kid but I bought him the 30/18 so he could use it on his Sunday Travel team this yr while getting used to the length and weight. He still gets around fast with this bat for a little guy. The bat has great balance w/great pop. All the kids on his travel team love it too. I would recommend this over all the other higher priced names b/c in this case u are only paying more for the bat. This bat will only keep getting better for my little slugger!

Cons: None

2014 Combat Portent 2 5/8" Sandlotshrink coach

Pros: Big improvement over the lime green, paint-cracking 2013 model. The only drop 12 bat on the market thus it allows the extra edge in bat speed and length. My 10 year old used the 30/18 and my 11 year old used the 31/19 with good results. The bat offers a nice balance with good pop on contact. I would highly recommend it as long as they continue to build off of this model.

Cons: Combat has been known for lesser products in the past (durability - breaking and paint cracking) but seem to be working hard to improve their product and as long as they can offer a superior product with durability, it's a no brainer to use their bats compared to the more familiar brands with only drop 10 or 9 choices.

Good pop if hit on 2" sweetspot - horrid otherwise Nelson coach

Pros: Lots of pop when hit on the sweetspot. Looks good. Grip is nice.

Cons: If you hit it on the end it is totally dead. If you hit it on the handle the kids basically drop it due to the vibration. Definitely no comparison to a two-piece bat for vibration

Impressive pop right out of the wrapper Baseballdad parent

Pros: First time Combat owner and very impressed. Only owned Easton up until now and always happy with their performance. Son swung Easton S1 (2 1/4 barrel) over the past year in both LL and travel ball with good results. The S1 has good pop. Helped my son hit 220-230 ft HR in All Stars this summer. Finally wanted to move up to big barrel for travel ball. Son tried both 2 3/4 (-10) and 2 5/8 (-9) Easton Mako's that a few of his teammates own. We were surprised by the lack of pop. Hard line drives that would normally rocket over SS or 2nd and into the gap using his S1 were instead somewhat weak infield line outs. Noticed the same lack of pop when his teammates used them. Decided to save some money and try 2014 Combat Portent 2 5/8 (-12). This bat has crazy pop out of the wrapper...more than his S1 (2 1/4). Have never seen him hit the ball harder. Impressed enough that I'm wondering if we should get the 2 1/4 barrel Portent for LL next spring if he out grows his S1.

Cons: None yet. So far only used it for some break in reps on a tee (didn't seem like ours needed it though...even first swing had noticeable pop), a few batting practices, and one tournament. Other kids want to try it now.

The 2014 COMBAT Portent: PORSL112 Senior League is a great choice, and is one of the only models that comes in a 2 5/8" barrel. It's a balanced model with a huge sweet spot. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst: SL13C Senior League is the other option we currently have.

How does this bat compare to the MAKO? My son is more of a contact hitter than power hitter. ????

The one-piece design of the 2014 COMBAT Porten (PORSL112) is typically used by a power hitter. The MAKO is a two-piece bat and better suited for a contact hitter. Both are very high performing.

Jason

I have a 12 yr old in 12u USSSA sanctioned league play, Dallas, TX area. He is about 5'4" and 138 lbs. Has a strong and quick / contact bat speed ability. Obviously the bat has a bit to do with that. We have a end loaded bat D-Voodoo and am looking for a bit lighter quicker bat. Question is which would you recommend this 112 -12 series or the 110 -10 series? Reviews show some problems with the 112 over the 110? Baseball_Dad_Texas

The 2014 COMBAT Portent (PORSL112) is not recommended for a player his size and bat speed. We recommend the PORSL110 for his size.

There is not a set age range that would use this bat. The 2014 COMBAT Portent (PORSL112) can be used in all leagues that allow for a big barrel, composite bat that do not require BBCOR certification. Once the player reaches high school, they would need to switch to a heavier BBCOR certified bat.
