Bat Pack COMBAT MAXUM -12 and Rawlings Quatro -10 Senior League Baseball Bats: SL7MX112 and SL7Q10

Pros:  Great balance and swing weight, good pop

Cons:  The barrel cracked all the way around the second round of BP. Incredibly disappointed. Just bats did the right thing and immediately sent me a new one.

Pros:  A lot of pop, more than the original. I have had great luck woth durability with these bats as well. My 8 year old loves the bat, pop and feel. He is playing 9u and hitting the ball 220-250' comsistentently.

Cons:  None as of yet and we have a 2015/2016 and the new 2017.

Pros:  Not sure, didnt have a chance to see what the pros are

Cons:  I received this bat at a replacement for the 2016 Combat Maxum that cracked. This bat was my warranty replacement. after three hits the bat cracked badly about 3 inched above the grip.

Pros:  My son plays 11U tournament ball and has had this bat for 3 weeks. He has hit 3 "bombs" and numerous multi base hits. He loves this bat. Great pop right outta the wrapper.

Cons:  none so far

Pros:  solid, balanced , light weight

Cons:  my last maxxum cracked, vibration on miss hits

Pros:  ball really jumps off the bat

Cons:  seems to have a lil more vibration than the S1 if you miss the sweet spot

Pros:  My son a small 10 yrd. Sub .200 hitter. needs all the advantages he can get. Has only managed 1 fly ball to center all season long. with this 2017 Maxum his fist hit was a hard ground ball for a base hit. His second hit was a line drive into the gap that carried to what would have been tge fence had we played in a 10u field. His Double/Triple ended up as in inside the park Homerun. Im one proud parent. Every dollar spent worth seeing his team pick him up and carry him into the dugout. Cant wait until the bat gets "broken in". #justbuythebat

Cons:  The stickers are showing wear, but it is a bat so thats expected. He did get a stinger but because he hit it off the end of the bat so thats expected.

Pros:  bat has a ton of pop and tne new design looks amazing.

Cons:  my som complained of some vibration but nothing major.

Pros:  Very balanced swing. Great pop right out of the wrapper. I can't wait for my son to fully break in this bat.

Cons:  Slight sting which comes along with a fully Composite bat.

Pros:  great feel, great balance, lots of pop, son absolutly loves it

Cons:  havent found any yet

Pros:  My boy plays 10U travel ball, got him this bat and the first tournament we played in he got two doubles and 3 RBIs. He hits line drives and the first one he hit rolled all the way to the fence, and the other hits were so hot the other team had trouble handling them. His confidence is growing. This bat only has maybe 40 hits so far and it has great pop.

Cons:  none so far

Pros:  My son is just 10 years old and this could be the year he hits his first over the fence home run. The bat has a huge sweet spot and because it is so light weight, my son is now swinging a 31" length instead of 30" and his bat speed has increased.

Cons:  So far nothing negative to report but like all composite bats, I worry a little about him cracking it based on other reviews that I've read.

Pros:  Awesome Pop, Perfect swing balance, Comfortable grip, This bat is by FAR the best bat i have ever purchased in its price range. I got my son a 29/17 MY son is 6yo, 4'1" tall, 55lbs. His 6U tball team decided to make the jump and play Coach Pitch instead this year so i took the gamble on a bat 2" longer than his 27" tball bat. In 3 games he is 7/10 with 5 balls reaching the 170ft fence and Zero strike outs. The added length helps with pitches away and the exrta 2oz doesnt seem to bother him one bit.

Cons:  If you hit the ball off the end cap or handle it stings a bit (SO DO ALL BATS). No other complaints of note.

Pros:  My son loves the feel of and the hit from this bat!!

Cons:  n/a

Pros:  my 6 year old loves it. good pop. and the exit speed is insane

Cons:  took about 100 swings to break in

Pros:  Great Pop, great swinging bat.

Cons:  Alittle vibration on the hands when hit off the handle or the end.

Pros:  In the cage with my son I generally don't swing with his bat when demonstrating, i just use my fungo bat to demonstrate a point. My 8U player was really struggling to hit the ball out of the infield with his Easton Mako bat, even though he has a pretty good swing. Never strikes out, bats the 3-hole. I decided to take a few (light) swings with the Mako. It was obvious the bat was dead, and he's only had it for half a season. I've read about Combat before, and the fact that EASTON (largest bat mfr in the world) decided to buy out Combat had me intrigued. EASTON is no dummy, there is a technological reason they bought Combat, and I'm sure we'll see the Combat technology in EASTON bats before too long. This bat has great balance, MUCH larger sweet spot (probably a baseball width larger), and much less sting than the MAKO. Son hit a home run over center fielders head his first at bat with the MAXUM. I plan to buy one in 29" and 30" just so he can use the same bat for a while.

Cons:  None yet. Will try to re-post at the end of the season to update on durability. I gave durability 4-stars, but we haven't had it long enough to rate durability. I sure hope it stays durable, because out of the box this a GREAT bat. I hope Easton doesn't kill the technology, and will implement the one piece composite design into EASTON bats. Otherwise, I will stock up on MAXUM bats from justbats.

Pros:  Great Bat - All the boys on the team have switched to this bat and they are crushing the ball and swinging with more confidence

Cons:  None

Pros:  Was good while it lasted.

Cons:  The bat just cracked last night. Unfortunately, we had already used the warranty to replace it once the FIRST time it cracked. Both bats lasted only months (less than a year of use) before they formed big cracks. Do not buy unless you are okay buying a bat that doesn't last long.

Pros:  My son is 11. Was looking for a bat that he could gain greater bat speed and solid pop. We found it! This is one of the very few -12 bats on the market. He is able to get around on the fastest pitching now and gets great contact.

Cons:  Like any bat, there can be some sting when hitting outside of the sweet spot. I also see concerns about cracking this bat. If this happened, my son would be on top of the world and I'm confident these guys would take care of me!

Pros:  My almost 8 year old weighs 55lbs plays travel ball and is a contact hitter with an avg. of approx. .600. Have been working on swing speed with weighted bats of 6oz over his game bat weight when using a tee. Made the jump from a 13oz Easton to a 16oz Combat Maxum once I felt like his swing speed and strength could handle the 20%+ increase in weight when compared to his physical size. Received the bat within 3 days of ordering and right out of the box my son was hitting the ball much harder and farther then ever! The ball was consistently coming off the bat much quicker and going 10-15ft further in the air. Son and Dad are very pleased...Can't wait to see how much better this bat gets with more time and hits on it. BTW, my son chose this bat after I explained the differences in the bats we researched AND I made him purchase half of it...always gotta have skin in the game.

Cons:  None so far...

Pros:  My 8 yo son has always been a contact hitter but now crushes it - last two games with this bat he went 7 of 8 with 4 doubles and a triple. The one hit he didn't get was a hard line that SS dove to make a miraculous play. My son's confidence is through the roof as he's racking up RBIs.

Cons:  None other than it will no longer be legal in his league next year - but totally worth the rest of this and fall season he'll get out of it this year.

Pros:  Great pop right out of the wrapper! My 10 year old son loves the way it feels and the pop that it has is really helping his confidence at the plate!

Cons:  None that I can see right now!

Pros:  Faster bat speed Nice Pop off the bat All the kids on the team use it now!

Cons:  None so far

Pros:  Bought this bat for my 13 year-old's trip to the Cooperstown Dreams Park tourney. Used in one batting practice and one scrimmage before the trip and seemed to have lots of pop. Used it in the first three games and then it cracked on a base hit in the third game. Bummer, and had to borrow another bat for the next four games. I will hand it to JustBats.com though, I emailed on my way back from the tourney, and they took care of the issue very promptly.

Cons:  I think another reviewer said they wouldn't recommend this bat for bigger kids, and I guess I'd echo that. It's nice and light but for my 13 year old it just wasn't strong enough to be durable.

Pros:  Good pop, great feel, seems durable.

Cons:  takes longer to break in than expected. 300 balls and still not fully broken in.

Pros:  Lightweight, lots of pop. 10 year son bas an Easton Mako he loves, but this Combat is just as nice and easy to get around on faster pitches.

Cons:  so far no bad news

Pros:  Has some pop and has a good grip

Cons:  Cracks very easily Lots of vibration If you don't hit in the sweet spot it hurts.

Pros:  nice feel with weight balance. 11U likes the drop 12. bat came fast as ordered. great exchange.

Cons:  none

Pros:  Light, great pop and feels really good batting with it

Cons:  non so far

Pros:  good pop

Cons:  5 rounds of BP and cracked through middle of barrel.

Pros:  The Maxum is an incredibly balanced bat! My son prefers it to his Demarini Vexxum which is also very balanced. No kidding about the "hittable" surface area compared to other bats. Three of his teammates refuse to use their own bats and always use his Combat because of the balanced feel.

Cons:  My 13 yo son tried this bat in a game and his first hit was an incredible hit to left field. The pop was astounding right out of the wrapper. My 12 yo who has a better swing mechanics gets on base almost every time from grounders and line drives as he is able to swing the bat quickly because of its balance. However, after a couple games, in the air hits rarely go deep into the outfield even with solid contact and follow through. Same is true for the other three hitters so I am not impressed with how quickly the Maxum lost its pop.

Pros:  style, balance, grip

Cons:  2016 model had more pop

Pros:  this is our second combat bat. son loved the first one. really likes this one as well. hits the ball just as hard and as far as his 2016.

Cons:  took a little bit longer to break in than his old one. hopefully it lasts as long as his old

Pros:  my son loves this bat

Cons:  n/a

Pros:  The bat had good pop and feel from the start. Swing is well balanced.

Cons:  Had the bat for 3 weeks and the bat cracked during BP. My son is 12U player about 5ft 65lbs. This bat should have held up better than this.

Pros:  super far if I hit the ball in the middle of this bat

Cons:  to light

Pros:  This bat was very close to the specified weight and well balanced. 75% off MSRP (too good to be true?)

Cons:  These latest bats from combat are NOT what they use to be. First off, the little sticker now says "Designed in Canada, made in China" It used to say "Made in Canada" my boy took just a few swings with it and we both knew it was a dud. The barrel is hard as a rock, it rings the hands, the sound is completely different and there's no pop what-so-ever. LOVED the old Maxums before PSG gutted it, tried to like this one, but I'm afraid they're officially done. You've been warned!

Pros:  This was out first purchase of a big barrel bat, and it has great pop and feel for my son who plays 10u select ball. i wiuld recommend this bat to thise who ate looking for a bat with great pop.

Cons:  if he misses the sweet spot he feels the sting in his hands, but it doesnt happen often.

Pros:  So far, so good! Our 10u travel team loves our new Combat Maxum in the 29" drop 12oz version. The Maxum is well balanced, allowing for maximum swing speed. The barrel is very long, comparable to most other 30" bats in this price market. So far, I feel that the Mako Beast Hyperlite has more "pop" of the two bats in terms of ball distance, but the Maxum has it's own strengths. The long barrel has allowed some of our kids that often miss the sweet spot of the bat to experience solid hits that wouldn't be there with other bats. The stock Lizard Grip is nice! It's sticky, comfortable, and long.

Cons:  The one-piece design allows for more vibration, but that's the case with any one-piece composite bat. Solution: hit the sweet spot!

Pros:  I have all Combat bats and like the response my kids have to the bat. From the Tee Ball Bats to the Maxum we have a Combat bat from 26" to 30". There aren't too many bats with good pop at a drop 12 or 11. My sons aren't the biggest kids but they make up the difference with bat speed. The length to weight ratio makes it easy for my boys to make contact and hit the ball hard. They like the feel... Now all the kids on my team use Combat.

Cons:  None yet. Would like to see a more end loaded bat at this length to weight ratio.

Pros:  This is a great bat. Lots of pop. Entire team started hitting this bat. Confidence builder for sure.

Cons:  Not a huge fan of the color scheme but the kids seam to like it.

Pros:  lightweight, good balance. My son loves this bat.

Cons:  none

Pros:  If a bat cracks twice in 7 months ...... they are no pros!!!!!!

Cons:  Bat craked twice ...... bought in August 2017, cracked in December 2017......replaced. Cracked again in March ..... they will not replace it stay away from this bat.

Pros:  Super hot bat right out of the wrapper. Love the drop twelve weight.

Cons:  None really we own 3 of them in different sizes.

Pros:  a lot of pop and good feel.The vibration is really minimnal

Cons:  maybe a littel more durability

Pros:  Large hitting area. Lightweight bat. Easy to handle grip.

Cons:  None that I've noticed so far.

Pros:  good balanced bat great sound huge sweet spot

Cons:  length and drop sticker peels off fairly easy on the bottom

Pros:  This bat is awesome!! Very light, has great pop!! Every player on the team wants to use this bat!! It's been used in 3 games so far and several have made home runs with it!! Great bat for the price!! Would definitely recommend!

Cons:  None so far

Pros:  Felt real good in hands and swinging

Cons:  No pop. Couldn't hardly get ball out of infield. Consistly has doubles and several over fence with his other bat.

Pros:  Great bat if you hit it directly in the sweet spot every time. Nice and light for kids.

Cons:  Extremely small sweet spot. Right out of the wrapper this bat had very little pop and made a horrible sound unless you hit the ball directly in the sweet spot. Anything off the end of the bat or handle makes a vibrating sound and the ball barely comes off of the bat. Both my son and his teammates gave up on this bat rather quickly. We have gotten to the point where we have put the bat aside and will no longer use it. Highly suggest finding a different bat to buy.

Pros:  Being a coach i always look for the best bats for my spn/ players. This bat had made a difference in many kids whether they are experienced or developing. the bat has great pop and lots of kids on the all star and travel team love using it. I would rate this bat one of the best 2-5/8 barrel on the market. Its hard finding a 2-5/8 big barrel woth good drop ratio so i would highly recommend this bat for any league that is USA certified

Cons:  None that comes to mind as long as the bat is kept maintained and not treated like a trash it'll live up to the hype

Pros:  Great balance and contact. Son rarely struck out using this bat. The light weight helped him get around quick and sent it to the outfield on a shot. Son is 11, more of a contact hitter and he loved this bat.

Cons:  After about a year it starting cracking just below the barrel. A lot of swings in those 12 months. Because I bought the bat here I was given a UPS return label and a refund.

Pros:  Great POP right out of the wrapper and the grip used for this bat, along with the POP and design of the bat, is one feature my son immediately enjoyed. The Quatro collar is also a cool feature for this bat that I feel truly does have a purpose with the absorption. The durability of this bat seems to be way better than some of the other composite bats on the market today.

Cons:  none just yet

Pros:  I love everything about this bat--the weight, the length, the feel, the grip, everything. The grip is not too slick and not too rough; it's perfect. It's the best bat I've ever known and has already helped in my League. Awesome!

Cons:  Absolutely nothing!!

Pros:  My son had a chance to try this bat out thanks to a friend. Obviously, the color is an eye-catcher, but my son loved how smooth the feel was. His swing was more balanced and he made a lot more contact. Impressive bat.

Cons:  Didn't see one.

Pros:  good pop, drives the ball well

Cons:  none

Pros:  good grip,good pop good everthing

Cons:  nothing

Pros:  I figured Rawlings was releasing a gimmicky bat with bright colors. But, my son has used this bat for a few games now and it's amazing. Easy feel that has helped him make contact a lot more. His teammates can't wait to have their own Quatro. Very impressive, Rawlings!

Cons:  Still searching

Pros:  It felt light and I hit the ball further. The grip of the bat is good, too. Every time before I would bat, I felt confident that I am going to hit the ball. I am going to use this bat next season.

Cons:  None

Pros:  I've been working in sporting goods for 15 years. This bat looks like it is the best bat my son has had. Hit with it today and he loved it. Beauty and a Beast.

Cons:  None so far

Pros:  Very bright neon will likely distract opposing pitchers.

Cons:  No pop what-so-ever. At a major University camp this past week all players had to use this bat during on-field BP. Not one kid liked it. The bat was dead, and very few kids hit it out of the infield; mostly weak ground balls. Kids used the Velo or 5150 in second round and the results were what you would expect for HS Juniors. Unless this bat is completely re-engineered, DO NOT waste your or your parents money on this neon joke. Stick with the tried and true Velo or 5150!!

Pros:  I demoed this bat at the Cal Ripken World Series. This bat has the greatest pop out of all the bats that I've ever used. Also the grip was great, comfortable in hands. The bat was a demo so it was broke in, but either way it had great pop.

Cons:  None

Pros:  Bat has a good feel, right out of the wrapper, with very good pop.

Cons:  After 3 weeks of use, the end cap broke off. Rawlings replaced the bat, after 4 more weeks it shattered. It was a 75 degree day, ball hit the sweet spot and shattered.

Pros:  This bat has good balance and the vibration when a ball is hit off the handle is minimal. It doesn't have the pop that the Velo or the CF7 had.

Cons:  End cap issues for Rawlings. First one didn't make it two weeks before the end cap came off warming up for a game. Rawlings replaced it, but it looks like a design issue and I won't be surprised if this isn't a common issue. Wish I would have bought the CF7 when I had the chance.

Pros:  Guys seemed to like the grip and overall feel of the bat in their hands. Some said it felt light compared to their own bats. Demo was brand new, so not yet broken in, but blew the velo monitor away. The exit velocity averaged 2-5mph over the CF8...team was sold. Get over the color and ended up with 8 of them.

Cons:  Too bright...but that's what the kids like these days.

Pros:  Goodfeel, balanced, minimal vibration.

Cons:  Most of the kids on my sons 12u team has the Quatro bat. We've yet to see any pop out of this bat. I can't understand the high ratings it's getting. After the first two tournaments, no one was hitting the ball hard with this bat. Its almost like it was a piece of soggy wood. Everyone went back to their old DeMarini CF8's and Easton Maco's. Now they are blasting bombs again.

Pros:  My son used this for the first time last weekend. He had some nice hits and loved the feel of this bat. He's happy, I'm happy. He says it's the best feeling bat he has ever used. He loves it!

Cons:  None

Pros:  Good pop

Cons:  endcap may fall off

Pros:  my favorite color

Cons:  no pop, feel all the vibration

Pros:  Good Pop, no vibration.

Cons:  Bats do not hold up. I know of at least 5 people who have this bat and each have had bats crack, handle broke off, & end cap comes out. I don't know anyone who has this bat that has not had to return for replacement and replacements have not held up either.

Pros:  none

Cons:  Breaks easily and is junk. Purchased this bat in January of 2017. By June 2017 it had cracked and sent it in for warranty. Bat cracked yesterday in a game and called Rawling's today. They said that if I would have called in January of 2018 they may have considered a warranty but since we are passed the original date of purchase they said no way. This bat is complete junk. I will never buy another bat from them again. And seriously couldn't even offer up a discount of sorts.

Pros:  does not vibrate when hit huge sweet spot

Cons:  none

Pros:  My son loves it. He said it has the mot pop, straight out of the wrapper, than any bat hes had.

Cons:  He hasn't had one bad thing to say about it.

Pros:  The bat has great pop!

Cons:  The bat only cracked in less than a month!!

Pros:  I have had this bat for a year or so and it has kept the pop

Cons:  the cap fell off of it after 2 tornoments

Pros:  Ordered this bat (size 30/20 2017 model) from Just Bats for my 11yr old. Hit about 100 balls off tee. Hit around 200 balls at park. After that the bat was hot. Balls flying everywhere. Large sweet spot. don't know why this bat was flying of the shelves last year in our area.

Cons:  None so far

Pros:  Very good distance

Cons:  Awsome feel

Pros:  General feeling is great and so is everything else on this well structured bat

Cons:  Nothing

Pros:  This bat is hot out of the box! My son is 8years old he plays travel baseball and we purchased this bat after he tried several of the other bbcor models and didnt care for them. He is a big guy at 4’7 and 98lbs, solid contact hitter with a big swing. This bat is truly perfect for him! Nice balanced bat with no sting or vibration, the ball HOPS off the thing and theres plenty of sweet spot even when you get jammed up. Reccommend for a kid thats used to swinging hard and likes the balanced feel. A+ from us on product, cust service rocks and shipping was fast and free!

Cons:  My son doesnt care for the bright color thats his one and only complaint.

Pros:  It has great pop out of the wrapper.

Cons:  My 11 year old cracked 2 of them in a matter of 6 weeks.

Pros:  no sting great pop awsome grip

Cons:  1.85 oz heavier than supposed to be

Pros:  Great bat. My son loves it

Cons:  non
