Description

The team at COMBAT said that "something big" was in the works. But the bat that emerged has pushed through the boundaries of what was even considered possible with a composite bat design! Introducing: the new COMBAT MAXUM! COMBAT has made a name for themselves in the bat industry by consistently delivering bats that offer an extreme combination of a light swing weight and HUGE sweet spot, but the MAXUM takes the crown in both categories. This COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 provides hitters with an almost unfair sweet spot that is 20-40% larger than competitor models! Switching to the MAXAB103 will also guarantee players the lowest swing weight allowed! These bats are one-piece composite designs created through advanced Precision Molding Technology (PMT). Unlike typical composite bats that are created by rolling/overlapping layers of material, the PMT process injects liquid resin into seamless high-quality carbon sleeves under extreme pressure. The result is an ultra-consistent product that eliminates seams/weak points that you get with the traditional process. That means that players can rest-assured that the MAXUM will deliver perfectly tuned performance over a longer lifespan. The MAXAB103 is BBCOR Certified, making it approved for High School and Collegiate play. Plus, it is backed by a full twelve (12) month warranty. COMBAT: Measure Up to MAXUM! Free Shipping!

Becoming a Combat guy Combat Convert player

Pros: This is my 2nd Combat. Was cautious about purchasing my first (2014 Combat Wanted), but the way that performed, I had no issue purchasing another. Like the Wanted, this bat has a huge sweet spot. Pop is essentially the same as ever other BBCOR, but this bat is much more forgiving. I think if Combat did a better job marketing, more people would be using their bats. They're great bats. This bat has a HUGE barrel.

Cons: Hard to find. Like all Combat bats, you usually can only find them online. Also, price is pretty high. I'd suggest buying an old (but new) Wanted (so you get the warranty), and waiting a year for the price to come down on this bat. Only reason I'm not still using my Wanted is because it's a 32". I wanted to order a 33".

Stinger BZ parent

Pros: Consistant as the Mako but with a longer barrel. Lots of room for error. The ball will get smoked. Great for high school and hitting a rope into the gap. You would think the bat would be heavy but it's ultra balanced.

Cons: Price is steep but your getting a heck of bat. Dont be scared because it's a comabt.

Barrel + Pop Mid Atlantic College Prep Baseball player

Pros: This bat has a huge sweetspot that cant be found on really any other BBCOR bat. It is high quality composite so once broken in the ball shoots off this bat. That being said it is a one piece bat so you get negative feedback from mis-hits even though i dont consider that a con.

Cons: The $450 price tag is ugly .... the 2014 B4 Portent is composed of the same composite with a slightly smaller sweetspot (still ridiculously large compared to other bats) and can be found on ebay for $100-200 brand new. Ive had a B4 for a while now and it is just as good.

Hot out of the wrapper Wisconsin Dad parent

Pros: My son hit his first 2 buckets tonight. Stiff, cool May wind in his face and still driving the ball 300ft consistently! He is a very technical hitter and the feedback he gave was - "this is the first bat that I've hit with that doesn't really feel like a bbcor". Loves the balance of the bat and extended pure contact area. Never owned a Combat before (prior XL1 and Voodoo)...he is hooked! I'm a believer!

Cons: none at this point

Combat honest review from a highschooler Jacob player

Pros: Huge barrel.

Cons: This bat has no pop. It also hurts really bad when you hit it off the end. That is normal in most bats but this hurts more than usual. The bat came to me "dead" and I have used it for 2 months and it still feels "dead". I am disappointed with this bat.

Pros: This is a great bat, its our 2nd Combat (still have the B1), so i don't think durability will be an issue. Just don't hit rocks with it! My son loves hitting with a Combat bat, we waited for the price to drop before buying it so it wasn't so bad. it has more pop than any other bbcor bat out there so just buy one.

Cons: $450 is a bit much.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Does this swing balanced like the Mako? My son is a 6 foot tall freshman. He is swinging a 32 inch Mako now. We are looking to move him up to a 33 inch size. How long does it take to break the Combat in? Is it worth the $400 plus dollars? We are also looking at 2015 Velo. My son drives ball down the left field line. Mike
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) has a balanced swing weight and does not have a break-in period required but may benefit from about 100 swings of soft toss to really get it loosened up. As far as the price, that would vary based on what you are looking for and the value you personally put on the bat. It is a very technologically advanced design and is built to perform well.
Patrick
How does it swing? Does it have the pop like other Combats? Is it worth the $450 dollar price? baseball236
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) is a very well balanced model. It is going to be COMBAT's top bat for 2016. The Maxum has an extended barrel and a massive sweet spot. It also features a 30 day money back guarantee and a 500 day manufacturers warranty.
John
Is this better than the BBCOR Vexxum? baseball241
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) features a one piece full composite design with a balanced swing weight. It does have a huge sweet spot and a 30 day trial period as well. The DeMarini Vexxum BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVNC) features a two piece hybrid design with a composite handle and an alloy barrel. It has a very balanced swing weight. Typically, we would see a power hitter use the Maxum and a contact hitter use the Vexxum.
Joe
How does the swing weight compare to BBCOR CF7? jdecker
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the DeMarini CF7 are going to feel very similar in terms of the swing weight due to their balanced swing weight. The MAXUM however, will be much stiffer because it is a one piece compared to the CF7's two piece design.
Cooper
Is this bat designed for a contact or power hitter? jake
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) is a balanced bat designed for a contact hitter.
Frankie
Does this Combat have a bigger barrel then the CAT 6? Chavez
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) will have a bigger barrel compared to the Marucci CAT 6 BBCOR bat.
John
My son uses a Portent G3, and I'm trying to decide if we should invest in the 2016 Maxum? How does the 2016 MAXUM compare to the 2015 Portent G3? Is the barrel size the same or is it bigger on the MAXUM? H-Man. 217
There are a number of improvements on the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103). It features 20 - 40% more hitting surface versus other models, MAXUM Sweet Spot, and Lizard Skins Grip. If you are needing a new bat or just wanting to upgrade I think there is plenty of improvements to chose the MAXUM.
Jake
Does this bat have a larger sweet spot than the Combat B3? mball
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) will have a larger sweet spot than the COMBAT B3 AB BBCOR Baseball Bat (B3AB1).
Patrick
If there are rules with BBCOR and maximum pop, why should I buy a $450 bat instead of the $50 bat? sammy
While it is true that all BBCOR certified bats like the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) will have the same maximum level of performance, the difference, and what you end up paying for, is the feel and durability of the bat. Features like flex, sting protection, barrel size, and balance all play into how a bat will feel to the player and how comfortable the swing will be. If they are all the same in terms of maximum performance potential at their best, you will want that best level to last as long and be as consistent as it can. Composite material or high level alloy bats tend to maintain their performance level longer which gives you more sustained and consistent performance of the bat.
Patrick
What is the difference between the COMBAT Maxum and the Easton MAKO? Ethan
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) and the 2016 Easton MAKO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB16MK) are different by design mainly in the flex of the bat. The MAKO is a two-piece design which will flex a bit more and provide a whipping motion that can lead to better bat speed while the MAXUM will be stiffer and provide more control while still having low swing weight and a large sweet spot.
Patrick
What is the difference between this and the 2016 Combat Portent G4? schsbaseball
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) has a larger sweet spot and lighter swing weight than the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 BBCOR Baseball Bat (PG4AB103).
Patrick
I am 12, 5 feet tall, and weigh 100 lbs. Would this be a good bat for me? ??hit??pitcher??you??
Given your age and size, I would recommend going with a 30" 27 oz. BBCOR bat. The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is very well balanced and would make a great bat for a first-time BBCOR user like yourself.
Marcus
Would this bat be good for big power hitters or contact hitters? __J4K3__
Give that the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is stiff, but is also well balanced, it would be a great bat for both power and contact hitters.
Marcus
Is the Louisville Slugger Prime 916 better than the Combat Maxum? Johnny baseball
The 2016 Louisville Slugger Prime 916 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBP9163) and the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) are both highly rated composite bats. Both bats offer some of the latest technology in barrel performance and swing weight. The Combat Maxum features a one-piece, fully composite design while the Louisville Slugger Prime 916 has a three-piece composite design. Great thing about both bats is that they offer a 30 day money back guarantee so if you are not satisfy you can send either back for an exchange or refund. Combat also offers a 500 day manufacture's warranty compared to Louisville's 12 month warranty.
Cameron
I am 14, 5'7", and weigh 145 pounds. What size do you recommend? Thomas the Choo Choo
Based upon your height and weight, I would recommend using a 32" 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103.
John P
Which bat will be best suited to power hitter that prefers an end loaded feel? For the last couple season's, my son has used a Combat Portent and Demarini CF6. Moving into high school, would the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR MAXAB103 be such a better bat than the "endloaded" DeMarini Voodoo Raw BBCOR DXVDC? Roger
For a player that prefers an end-loaded bat, then the DeMarini Voodoo Raw BBCOR DXVDC would be the better bat to consider over the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103. The advantage of the end-loaded bat is the greater mass that will be in the sweet spot. Although the sweet spot would be smaller in the DeMarini compared to the Combat (balanced bats will have bigger sweet spot but mass will be less concentrated) the additional mass would allow for more distance on hits squared up within this sweet spot compared to a balanced bat.
Cameron
Does this bat require a break-in period? How's the vibration? mark
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is a one-piece fully composite bat that will require a break-in period prior to the bat being ready for game play. We recommend using this bat off a tee or soft toss for 150-200 swings, rotating the barrel a 1/4" after each swing. According to customers, this bat has minimal vibration. Typically, a two-piece bat will have the optimal anti-vibration technology as the connection point will be able to redirect vibration from off-centered hits more than a one-piece bat but thus far it doesn't seem that this one-piece COMBAT has vibration issues.
Cameron
My son is 5'4" 135 lb. Would you recommend the Combat MAXUM or the Portent G4? Cliff
The COMBAT MAXUM and the Portent G4 are both great bats to consider. With the MAXUM you will get a slightly more balanced swing weight and larger sweet spot compared to the Portent G4. Both bats will feature one-piece fully composite designs and will have similar performance capabilities.
Cameron
What is 30 no risk means? MS
The 30 day trial period on this 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) allows a customer to use this bat for 30 days from the purchase date. If at any period in those thirty days, you decide that the bat is not for you, it can be sent back to us for a full refund or exchange.
Ben
What is the difference between the CF8 and the COMBAT MAXUM? Baseball-nut
Both the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and 2016 DeMarini CF8 BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXCFC are going to be balanced swing weight bats with a composite design. However, the 2016 DeMarini CF8 BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXCFC features a two-piece construction, whereas the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 features a one-piece construction. The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is going to feature a 500 day Manufacturer's warranty, while the 2016 DeMarini CF8 BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXCFC features a full 12 (twelve) month manufacturer's warranty.
Nick
Why dimple balls bad for this bat? £
We would not recommend using the yellow dimpled cage balls with any "game model" bat. The yellow dimpled balls will weigh heavier than a regular baseball which will increase the chance of the bat cracking/denting.
John
My son is about 5'4" and 120 pounds. He is an excellent hitter with the 2 1/4 portent 31-10. He's in middle school which requires a drop 3. What size is a good one for him? j hargett
Based upon your son's height and weight, I would recommend using a 30" 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103.
John P.
My son is 14 yrs old, 5'10" and 150 pounds. He has been swinging a 32"/27 oz Easton S3 without a problem. Would a 33"/30 oz be good for him with this COMBAT MAXUM? Canesfan22
Based upon your player's height and weight, I would make a general recommendation of going with a 32" model of a BBCOR baseball bat. However, since he has already had some use with a -5 model at the 32"/27 oz size, I would think that you are just fine to go with the 33" size of this 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) as long as your player can handle the 30 oz weight of that length model.
Ben
Is this approved in Senior Little League? Baseball_b13
Yes, the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 legal for play in the Senior division of Little League. The BBCOR certification stamp makes it legal.
Jason
If ball is hit equally well with COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR bat and a Rawlings VELO bat will the ball travel any further from the composite combat? natester
Assuming all factors are equal, any difference between the distance traveled with the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 compared to the 2016 Rawlings VELO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BBRV3 will be very minimal.
Cameron
Would this bat swing similar to the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Z1000 bat? Patrick
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the old Louisville Slugger TPX Z-1000 will be extremely similar as far as overall feel and construction goes. Both models are one-piece composite designs that will feature a balanced swing weight.
John P.
I need a -3 bat for next season and I like to use a 29 inch bat. Is there any place that has a 29 inch -3 COMBAT bat? stephen
At this time the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is not featured in a 29 inch 26 ounce model. There is currently only one BBCOR bat listed on our site in this size, and to our knowledge, this is the only bat made in this size.
Cameron
Why is the Combat Portent G4 not being made anymore? roman
Combat made the decision to move on from the Combat Portent G4 and has replaced it with the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103).
Jake
Is there a 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" youth MAXUM? mike
Yes, the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM -10 Senior League Baseball Bat: MAXSL110 would be a Youth Big Barrel with a 2 5/8" barrel and the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM -10 Senior League Baseball Bat: MAXSL210 would be a Youth Big Barrel that features the 2 3/4" barrel. The 2 5/8" barrel of the COMBAT MAXUM is also available with drop weights of -12, -8, and -5.
Nick
Does it have a heavy swing weight? brandon
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 has a very balanced swing weight.
Jason
Has the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 been banned for high school play? chino1996
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 features the BBCOR certification and is approved for high school and collegiate play.
John P.
Between this bat and the 2016 MAKO, which one do you believe has more pop? Matt
Both the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the 2016 Easton MAKO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16MK will have about the same amount of pop. Since these are BBCOR bats there is not really one bat out there that will have significantly more pop; one may see slightly more pop with the MAXUM since it is a one-piece design.
Cameron
Comparing this to the Rawlings VELO BBCOR. Which one would have more carry distance for a gap to gap hitter and which one would be better for power? garett
Both the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the 2016 Rawlings VELO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BBRV3 would be good bats to consider. Neither one of these bats will be significantly better from a power standpoint. All BBCOR bats will be similar to a wood bat with regards to pop.
Cameron
How would this bat compare to the Marucci CAT 6 in terms of swing weight? I have swung the CAT 6 and think it is one of the most balanced bats out and want to know how this would compare. Jared
Both the Marucci CAT 6 and the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 will feature an ultra balanced feel. This MAXUM has the lowest allowable BBCOR swing weight.
John P.
How can I order this in different colors? I saw there were 5+ colors available. Alex
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is only available in one colorway. The other colors that you are seeing are for the senior league and youth baseball bats.
John P.
I'm 6'2" and 140 pounds. What size should I use? jonathan
Based upon your height and weight, I would recommend using a 33" 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103.
John P.
Can this bat be used in middle school or JV? Jake
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is BBCOR certified and it is legal for play in JV and it should be legal for middle school, but it is best to check with a league official or a coach to make sure.

I am a 5'7" freshman and I weigh 125 pounds. I am a contact hitter. Would you recommend this bat and in what size? Also, I want a large sweet spot on my bat. Cdog
Based upon your height and weight, I would recommend using a 31" 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103.

My son will be starting middle school ball in the fall that will require a -3. He is 5'1" and about 100 lbs and prefers a balanced swing. What are your recommendations on bats and length? WAM
Based on your son's height and weight, we would recommend getting the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 in a 29 inch model. With that said, the only BBCOR bat currently being made in a 29 inch 26 ounce model would be the Louisville Slugger Omaha 516. You could bump up to the 30 inch model with the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103. This bat is very well balanced and does come with a 30 day guarantee so if 30/27 is too much you could always set the bat up for an exchange or refund within 30 days of the purchase date.

I'm going into high school ball next year and I am 5'10" and 130 pounds. What bat size would you recommend? TH
Based on your height and weight, we would recommend getting the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 in a 32 inch 29 ounce model.

I am stuck between choosing the COMBAT MAXUM and the Easton MAKO. I can't decide which bat I want. I am a contact hitter who wants low swing speed and a bat that offers pop and is forgiving when hitting the ball poorly. Which bat would you recommend? Cdog
Both the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the Easton MAKO are great composite bats to consider with balanced swing weights. The main difference between the two is the MAKO will be a two-piece fully composite bat while the MAXUM is a one-piece. With that said, the MAKO will have a tendency to be a little more forgiving when you hit a ball off the end or towards the handle (less stinging/vibration) compared to the MAXUM.

My son is 5'4" and 133 lbs. He needs a BBCOR bat for 6th grade. He has always batted from 2nd to 5th, usually 3rd. What size and bat should he get? dingerboiz
Based on your son's height and weight, we would recommend getting the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 in a 31 inch 28 ounce model.

How come the price of the COMBAT went up from a couple weeks ago? And will it ever go back down to $229? Looking for a 32/29. Glen
We will run flash sales from time to time on certain items. As for the previously listed price, we do honor a 30 day price guarantee so if an item were to drop on our site and then go back up or vice versa, all you would need to do is give us a call and we can look into the matter for you and adjust the price/refund accordingly.

Does just bats sell a -3 BBCOR DeMarini CF8? If so, what would you recommend: the BBCOR COMBAT MAXUM or BBCOR CF8? dingerboyy
Unfortunately, we are out of stock in all size options of the 2016 CF8 BBCOR baseball bat. That being said, this 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) has actually been rated pretty well at JustBats by customers and I would recommend it highly. I might give the CF8 a slight edge in regard to ratings, but this MAXUM also features a 30 day trial period. That trial period allows customers to purchase the bat and use it, then if they decide it is not the bat for them within 30 days from the purchase date, it can be sent back to us for a full refund or exchange. That 30 day trial period is a nice deal and was not featured on the CF8. I would recommend trying out the MAXUM if it interests you!

COMBAT MAXUM or Easton Z-CORE Hybrid for a gap to gap hitter? jose
Both the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the Easton Z-CORE Hybrid would be good options to consider for a gap-to-gap hitter. The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 will have a more balanced swing weight.
Cameron
I am a 6'1" and 155 pounds; going into 9th grade. What bat size would you recommend, a 32 or a 33 inch? kam
Based on your height and weight, as well as the fact you will be in 9th grade, we would recommend getting the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 in a 32 inch 29 ounce model.

Do the "excellent" condition bats have any defects from use or marks? Jaffray
There should be no defects present on a model of this 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) that is described to be an "excellent" condition besides the minor visual and cosmetic imperfections that can be expected with a small amount of use.
Ben
Is this bat approved for USSSA tournaments? Does it have the USSSA stamp? CTThrashers24
Yes, the 2016 Combat Maxum BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) is approved for play in USSSA. It does not feature the USSSA stamp but does feature the BBCOR stamp. USSSA will require either the USSSA or BBCOR stamp for the bat to be legal.
John
What is the major difference between the VIGOR and the MAXUM? joeshmoe
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is going to have a longer barrel and larger sweet spot overall than the COMBAT VIGOR.
Marcus
My son is turning 15 and is going into sophomore year. He is looking for a very balanced bat that has good pop. He is 5'10" and weighs 195 lbs. What size would you recommend? jason turner
Based on his height and weight, we would suggest a 33" model in the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103.
Jason
Is this bat legal in Juniors baseball? Jeffy
If you are talking about junior division in Little League (12-14 years old), composite bats like the Combat Maxum have to be BBCOR, so it is legal. The same applies for the Dixie junior division (13-14 years old).
Damon
What is the difference between this bat and the 2017 Vigor BBCOR? npagbaseball
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) is going to have a longer barrel and larger sweet spot overall than the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -3 BBCOR Baseball Bat (VG2AB103). Other than that they are going to be very comparable.
Carter
Does this bat come in a 31 oz drop 3? dugout to singers
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 was made in a 31" but unfortunately, we are sold out of that size. Also, we will not be getting anymore in since the 2017 bats have come out.
Cooper
I am a contact hitter who hits for singles. Should I get the 2016 Element Axe Bat or the Combat MAXUM? jondus
This 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) features a balanced swing weight which is usually best for contact hitters like yourself. The 2016 AXE Element (L137D) will be more end-loaded which I would recommend avoiding. Overall, my suggestion for you is this MAXUM.
Ben
What is the difference regarding barrel size and material compared to the combat 52 caliber AB -3 2 5/8 BBCOR bat to the Maxum BBCOR bat? jonny baseball
The barrel size between the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 and the COMBAT 52 Caliber AB BBCOR Baseball Bat: 52CALAB1 will be the same, the Maxum will feature an upgraded composite material to give it a very lightweight feel.
Sean
Does the new 2017 model come in a 30"/27 oz size? jim
This 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) is available in the 30"/27 oz size at JustBats. However, we do not have the 2017 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (AB7MX103) available in the 30"/27 oz size.
Ben
Would a 31 inch drop 3 COMBAT MAXUM be suited for me as a 120 pound middle school player? hub4
If you are required to use a BBCOR certified bat, then the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 would work for you, but I would suggest the 30" size. If you are not required to use a BBCOR bat, I would suggest looking at a -5 bat like the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: MAXSL105 in a 31" or 32" size.
Logan
Is there a 32" 29 oz available? Robert Neal
As of 2/3/17 we only have the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 available in either a 33 or 34 inch model. Since this bat is a closeout option we do not expect to get any more additional sizes in.
Cameron
I'm a Jr. (5'11, 150 lbs) in high school and I have been swinging a 32" 29 oz Vexxum the past few seasons but it is time for an upgrade. As you only have 33" and 34" inch in stock do you think a 33 would be reasonable? Matt Szuba
Yes, a 33" would be reasonable at your size, and the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 is well balanced, so you shouldn't have any issues.
Logan
My son is 6 foot 4 and a half 170lb junior. He hit for contact when he was younger but has developed into a power hitter with his growth spurt. What size should he be looking at and should he consider the Maxum? AG
We would recommend a 33" or 34" length of bat for someone his size. The Maxum is certainly a quality bat that you could look at purchasing, yes.
Kyle J.
My son is 17, 6'1 and 195 lbs. Should he be using a 33" or 34" bat? heat
Based upon your player's height and weight, our JustBats' Bat Coach would make a general recommendation of getting this 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat (MAXAB103) in the 33" length. However, if you feel your player is ready for a 34" bat, you could certainly go with that size of bat. I bet he will be able to handle the size eventually if he is not quite ready for it yet.
Ben
Why is this bat so cheap? jesse collins
The 2016 COMBAT MAXUM BBCOR Baseball Bat: MAXAB103 has been lowered in price due to a few factors. (1) This is a closeout model from COMBAT (2) COMBAT is no longer making baseball bats (3) we were able to purchase a large quantity of their remaining inventory at a discount and thus have passed this on to our customers and (4) the only size we have left are 34 inch models which are not as prevalent in terms of demand.
