Description

For those players that love COMBAT - the Portent G4 fits right in with all of their classic, limit-testing one-piece composite designs. 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, and a sweet spot that's almost not even fair. It all starts with COMBAT's exclusive Precision Molding and Seamless Construction technologies! Precision Molding Technology means outer and inner barrel diameters are created with computer-controlled tooling for accuracy and precision control. This results in the optimized performance and the Seamless Construction extends the durability of this top of the line bat. If you didn't know just from seeing "COMBAT" on the barrel, this combo gives you one of the biggest sweet spots in the Senior League bat market. The 100% composite, one-piece Portent utilizes COMBAT's single wall construction with Variable Stiffness profile. This calculated inner-wall profile allows the barrel walls to reach optimal compression on contact to maximize trampoline effect and distance on every swing. And the traditional one-piece design provides essential feedback, so you'll know when you've squared-one up or just missed the chance for a 4-base trot. Plus, the new Portent G4 features the extremely popular Ultra-Premium Lizard Skin grip! This elite-level composite bat is perfect for a wide range of hitters and experience levels with it's extremely balanced swing weight and stiff flex on contact. COMBAT: "Limits Set, Limits Broken!" The Portent G4 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Great Bat CAR parent

Pros: Got tired of Easton bats (S1, S2 and S3). I was getting a replacement every year because they would chip, dent and wear down. Nice construction/balance, great grip and I like the drop 12. Good feel off the ball. Because of the drop 12, I was able to buy a longer length and hopefully he can grow into it. He prefers this bat over the Easton brands

Cons: It is a composite, so it will take time for my son to break it in before he gets full pop potential.

Combat Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat Missouri Dad parent

Pros: I love the feel of the lizard skin grip. The weight seems proportioned nicely for a quick, smooth bat through the zone. My son has not had a chance to actually use the bat in a game (it is going to be a Christmas gift). However, I have taken several swings, and the bat feels tremendous. The -12 drop will help my boy because he is a little smaller than his 9 year old teammates. Based on my preliminary findings, this Combat bat seems to be an excellent purchase.

Cons: None. Just Bats service is unbelievable. I spoke to a representative by phone that was very helpful and well informed. The bat arrived in two - yes two - days. Once again, we have not used the bat yet, but I am extremely optimistic.

Great Bat Mark D parent

Pros: Great balance and light weight. My son plays 8u travel ball and has used the bat in 3 BP sessions. Bat seems pretty hot out of the wrapper and my son likes the feel of the one piece construction

Cons: one piece composite seems to have a more sting than his previous bats if you miss the sweet spot

Fantastic Todd M parent

Pros: Awesome looking bat,great balance. Son hadn't swung bat in months,hit off tee Christmas day, solid line drives every swing. Love the huge sweet spot .Drop 12 allows for longer length at 30" and 18oz allowing to maintain tremendous bat speed. Overall service was outstanding,had bat in less then 48 hours and price was $29.00 cheaper then any competitor that found. Would recommend Justbats to any one.

Cons: None at this time

Update CAR parent

Pros: I wrote a review a few months ago. The bat is awesome. My son is 10 and the composite is starting to break down allowing for more pop. Very durable bat I will never buy an Easton again. Unless, of course, they improve their quality.

Cons: None.

its a great bat. Coach Powers coach

Pros: lots of pop, very well holds up as we are a club and have maybe 2k-3k swing on like 5 pf them also the ball comes off a little faster then other bats. I think thats to the light swing weight.

Cons: i wished a little heaver in the end of bat. as you try to teach kids to drop the bat head the wnd weight helps as you teach.

Is this the same thing as the 2015 G3 portent -12 baseball bat? Cole
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG4SL112) is the newer model year of the bat but the design features are very similar.
Patrick
What is the difference between Combat Portent G4 and Combat Maxum??? JJ
The Combat Maxum will have a longer barrel compared to the Portent. The Maxum will also feature a 500 day manufacturers warranty while the Portent only features the 12 month warranty.
John
What size lizard skin is used on the bat; .5mm, 1.1mm, or 1.8mm? Jay
Combat does not specify which type of Lizard Skins grip is featured on the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG4SL112). it is a fairly thin grip though.
Patrick
Does this bat require a break-in period? If so how long? ron
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG4SL112) is fairly game ready out of the wrapper. You may see improved performance after a short break-in period of about 50-100 swings or so of soft toss or tee work but it is not completely necessary.
Patrick
Is it a 2 5/8 or 2 3/4? martymar777
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG4SL112) has a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter.
Patrick
My son is 7. Am looking for a bat, size 27 inches drop 13. Edwin
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112 will not feature the size you are looking for (27 inches, drop 13). The most comparable size would be a 27 inch 15 ounce model like the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112.
Cameron
Is this a Pony approved bat? Breeze
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112 is approved for play in Pony.
John P.
My son is 9 years old and weighs 78 lbs. What would be a good size bat in terms of length and weight for him to use? Bam
The best way to determine the correct size bat for a player is by their height and weight. However, a 9 year old is typically swinging a 29" 17 oz model of the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112. For more sizing information check out our Bat Coach: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Jason
How long does it take for this bat to be broken in? At what temperatures should this bat not be used at? albert
For the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112, we recommend roughly 150 swings off of a tee or soft toss to break the bat in. Start at 50% power and rotate the bat after every handful of swings to ensure the barrel is breaking in evenly. We do not recommend using this bat, or any bat, excessively in temperatures below 60 degrees. The ball itself becomes more dense in these conditions, thus leading to potentially damaging your bat.
Marcus
is the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112 Dixie youth approved? brian
The 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112 is not approved for Dixie youth as this bat has a composite barrel and is not BBCOR certified and has a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter (making it illegal for the lower levels of Dixie baseball).
Cameron
I recently purchased a Voodoo 2 1/4 (29"/16 oz) for my 8 yr old. I'm thinking about buying him a new 2 5/8" bat. Would you recommend this COMBAT? Thinking about the pack deal with a 28", 29"or maybe even a 30" (for when he grows even more). What do you think? DJ
If your player is currently using a 29"/16 oz bat and you want to move to a 2 5/8" COMBAT model, I would recommend this 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip (PG4SL112) in the 29"/17 oz size or the 28"/16 oz size if his current 29" bat is too long. The 29"/17 oz model will be a little large for him starting out, but he should grow into it with time and be able to use it for a longer amount of time. If you wanted a bat pack, you could get two of these models in the PG4SL112 2-Pack. One option in the 28"/16 oz size and another option in the 29"/17 oz size would probably be my suggestion for the 2-Pack. If you get this sizes, he has one that will fit him exactly for now (28") and one for as he gets bigger (29").
Ben
Do you guys roll bats or recommend rolling them to break them in? Bambino
Here at JustBats, we do not roll any of our bats. We do not recommend rolling the 2016 COMBAT Portent G4 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG4SL112 or any other composite bat as that may deem your bat illegal for play and void the manufacturer's warranty.
