Bat Pack Marucci Maple Wood BLEM Baseball Bat: MCMBLEM 2-Pack

add_circle_outlinePros: This bat used to be the MCMBBCULL before that bat changed its look. I am assuming that these are just the leftovers and they changed the model number. Great, great bats and such a good value for a quality Marucci wood bat.

remove_circle_outlineCons: I've had many of these and haven't been able to identify the "blem" in most of them. The latest one was just a small nick in the end of the barrel. Doesn't bother me!

add_circle_outlinePros: Nice strong looking bat.. Hit a triple at my first at bat..

remove_circle_outlineCons: The paint chips or cracks

add_circle_outlinePros: Bats are really hard and seem to hold up a little more then others.

remove_circle_outlineCons: None so far.

add_circle_outlinePros: Nice Finish and Feel, but

remove_circle_outlineCons: Unfortunately, using on a chilly day cracked on my son's first contact with the ball.

add_circle_outlinePros: good look ... solid ... great balance. ..great pop

remove_circle_outlineCons: n/a

add_circle_outlinePros: None that i can think of!

remove_circle_outlineCons: I used the bat in 3 three plate appearances and it broke in the 3rd and final at bat! I would never bye another BLEM bat!

add_circle_outlinePros: Good pop.

remove_circle_outlineCons: Nicks on it when it arrived. Swings heavy

add_circle_outlinePros: feels great. Has a lot of pop. Great bat for the price!

remove_circle_outlineCons: none yet

add_circle_outlinePros: Has good balance...seems solid.

remove_circle_outlineCons: None discovered yet.

add_circle_outlinePros: Love the durability of these especially for blems. I run an adult baseball team and use this as my bat/the team bat. Always have at least one leftover at the end of the season and there will be five or more players using them. Ball jumps off the bats

remove_circle_outlineCons: Ordered blems 5 times now. Got a model I liked everytime but once. The risk of getting a model I dont like is worth the reward. If you care about the look black isnt the most exciting thing in the world

add_circle_outlinePros: looks nice

remove_circle_outlineCons: bat broke the first time at use

add_circle_outlinePros: Can't go wrong using these Marucci blem bats. Pop is the best I have gotten from any brands blemished bats.

remove_circle_outlineCons: Wish they had a natural finish rather than just black

add_circle_outlinePros: With a 13 y.o. who loves to swing wood in the cage and at practice, these bats are a great deal. As far as blemishes go, I can't find any. Bats are well balanced and high quality. Can't go wrong at this price point.

remove_circle_outlineCons: The "Blem" decal is kind of tacky, but you're paying for a bat not eye candy. Just hit it.

add_circle_outlinePros: I really love the feel of the bat, I wish every bat I have held felt like this.

remove_circle_outlineCons: NO POP. by the price you can tell that these two bats aren't really top notch, but i prefer getting a pro model like the AP5 or big papi. Own both right now and they are phenomenal.

add_circle_outlinePros: the bats only come with a small nick or chip in the paint. The bats last a long time and have a lot of pop even in the cold weather.

remove_circle_outlineCons: some blems tend to break in the first month but others last a year or so.

add_circle_outlinePros: great pop

remove_circle_outlineCons: nothing

add_circle_outlinePros: Shipping to me in Japan was as quick as can be expected and the box that the bats arrived in was in great condition condition. After unboxing the bats I have to say that I was very impressed, aside from the lame and cheesy "BLEM" that covers the Marucci "M". The finish was top-notch and looked beautiful. I could not see any visual defects with the bats (I got the "bat pack" ). So I was thinking, "great! I basically just got 2 Marucci bats for the price of 1!" Well, thats where the excitement stops for me...

remove_circle_outlineCons: As you cannot select the style of turn when you buy blemished bats, I was slightly disappointed when both of mine turned out what seemed to be a 110 style bat. But having only swung mostly 271 style bats I figured "eh, I'll make these work for me." First BP session: Swung the bat a good 50 or so times and while the feel of the bat was great, I feel like the distance I got off of it was worse than my 17 year old ash bat. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong and just decided to stick with it. A few more BP sessions later and I still feel like it just doesn't have the pop that it should. Well, in it's 2nd game of use I hit a ball square on the barrel. The bat absolutely exploded in my hands. It split into 3 big pieces and the biggest piece, the barrel, had several more cracks running the length of it. This was all on 1 of the 2 bats I received. The 2nd bat feels similar in pop so I'm sure its a matter of time before that one explodes as well.

add_circle_outlinePros: flawless for a maple bat, impeccable finish. I picked this up for a my kid when he was 13.. year and a half later this bat has been used and abused. Did a hitting session yesterday and he hit 3 out with the Maruch, and only 1 with his 917 Prime. Ordering another in a bigger size. The bone rub makes this bat very hard, and the finish is like a piano.

remove_circle_outlineCons: None so far, its a steel for MLB quality maple. Hope the second is as good as the first.

add_circle_outlinePros: none

remove_circle_outlineCons: bat broke the 2nd plate appearance that I used it.

add_circle_outlinePros: The pop on this bat is very good and the durability is great. Of course with any wooden bat it only takes one pitch hit in the wrong place and that will break the bat. I have had one for 2+ years and it is still going strong. I have 3 of them with 2 different sizes.

remove_circle_outlineCons: Just remember you can swing any bat one time and if hit in the wrong place it will break. It is wood so you have to expect that to happen.

add_circle_outlinePros: Ive ordered them in the past and loved the heck out of them. Pop durability coating etc. was just what the consumer yearns for.

remove_circle_outlineCons: This last buy shattered first swing but no replacement because its a blem and not a pro model. sheesh!! First swing???

add_circle_outlinePros: We are currently using these bats in a summer collegiate baseball league. We have had great success with these bats. Would recommend these bats!

remove_circle_outlineCons: No cons at this time.

add_circle_outlinePros: perfect size and weight. My daughter uses it in a men's league we play in. Line drive to RF down the line on her second swing after a foul back.

remove_circle_outlineCons: No cons on this bat to report. Had Maruccis in the past, great bats

add_circle_outlinePros: Great bat alto of pop my son use it for batting practice and cages

remove_circle_outlineCons: None

add_circle_outlinePros: This bat was purchased as a gift for my grandson and therefore I have no opinion on it as his birthday is next week and that's when he'll get it. That being said, I did inspect this "BLEM" and found nothing wrong with it except a very small scratch in the paint. excellent deal!

remove_circle_outlineCons: None so far.

add_circle_outlinePros: BALANCED, AND GREAT FEEL OF THE HANDLE

remove_circle_outlineCons: NONE

add_circle_outlinePros: evenly balanced and has all the "pop" I need. I have one that I have been using for 2 years. That would equal about 70 games so the durability is excellent also.

remove_circle_outlineCons: Haven't found one as yet.

add_circle_outlinePros: I have been using Marucci Bat's for the last 3-4 years. They have great pop and are very durable. Of course, any bat could break after one or two uses but that hasn't happened to me. My original Cutch 22 I have had for 3 years. I now own 3 different sizes of Marucci's and love all of them.

remove_circle_outlineCons: Can't think of any
