The COMBAT MAXUM is back and continues to push the limits to new heights. COMBAT has made a name for themselves with the MAXUM in the bat industry by consistently delivering an extreme combination of an ultra balanced feel, extremely fast swing weights, a HUGE sweet spot, and unparalleled performance. This COMBAT MAXUM -12 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL7MX112 provides hitters with an almost unfair sweet spot that is 20-40% larger than competitor models! Switching to the SL7MX112 will also result in an average of 38% Swing Weight Reduction which is the lowest swing weight ever! These models are one-piece, fully composite designs crafted with a seamless construction. A carbon-fiber sleeve runs the length of the bat providing uniform strength for a fine-tuned performance. Unlike typical composite bats that are created by rolling or overlapping layers of material, the MAXUM is produced with advanced Precision Molding Technology (PMT). 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 and weak points that you get with the traditional process. No seams means no dead spots and in on the hands doesn't mean out at first base! That means players can rest-assured that the MAXUM will deliver perfectly tuned performance over a longer lifespan. COMBAT is so sure of this ground-breaking design, each baseball bat is backed by a full twelve (12) month warranty. Additionally, the SL7MX112 features the USSSA 1.15 BPF Certification, a -12 length to weight ratio, and a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter. COMBAT: Measure Up to MAXUM! Buy yours today with Free Shipping!

Very disappointed Anthony B parent
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.
Great Bat Graig Barber parent
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.
Very Dissapointed Mark Nicholls parent
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.
Excellent choice Mark player
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
good bat a watson coach
Pros: solid, balanced , light weight
Cons: my last maxxum cracked, vibration on miss hits
plenty of pop! Drewman player
Pros: ball really jumps off the bat
Cons: seems to have a lil more vibration than the S1 if you miss the sweet spot
Lots of Pop! Fabian parent
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.
great bat johnny baseball parent
Pros: bat has a ton of pop and tne new design looks amazing.
Cons: my som complained of some vibration but nothing major.
Great Pop Bob T parent
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.
Awesomness Josh Gottschalk, OKC coach
Pros: great feel, great balance, lots of pop, son absolutly loves it
Cons: havent found any yet
Great bat Mike parent
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
Great Value - Instant Confidence Builder Ry's dad parent
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.
Absolutly Amazing Bat RPG Baseball coach
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.
Great Bat! Baseball Mom parent
Pros: My son loves the feel of and the hit from this bat!!
Cons: n/a
2017 combat Tristan Pinkney parent
Pros: my 6 year old loves it. good pop. and the exit speed is insane
Cons: took about 100 swings to break in
Great Bat Jeremy C parent
Pros: Great Pop, great swinging bat.
Cons: Alittle vibration on the hands when hit off the handle or the end.
Confidence Inspiring Happy Parent / Coach coach
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.
Combat Maxum is awesome Kevin coach
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
So Unhappy - TWO BATS CRACKED Tammy L parent
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.
Awesome Choice Lance Harris parent
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!
Money well spent... Parent and Coach parent
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...
Parent Chad parent
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.
So far....so good! Satisfied Buyer parent
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!
Turned my Son into contact hitter! Coach Chris K parent
Pros: Faster bat speed Nice Pop off the bat All the kids on the team use it now!
Cons: None so far
Good while it lasted... Peter parent
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.
lacking Aaron coach
Pros: Good pop, great feel, seems durable.
Cons: takes longer to break in than expected. 300 balls and still not fully broken in.
Combat Maxum Ethan parent
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
Cracks Gabe Shirley player
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.
Nice Bat Mike parent
Pros: nice feel with weight balance. 11U likes the drop 12. bat came fast as ordered. great exchange.
Cons: none
Best bat I have used so far! Anthony Rizzo player
Pros: Light, great pop and feels really good batting with it
Cons: non so far
trash Dane player
Pros: good pop
Cons: 5 rounds of BP and cracked through middle of barrel.
Great balance Phil parent
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.
Okay bat with fair pop chad parent
Pros: style, balance, grip
Cons: 2016 model had more pop
good bat baseball dad parent
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
great bat Warren Young parent
Pros: my son loves this bat
Cons: n/a
Dissapointed Bill parent
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.
great bat jp wong player
Pros: super far if I hit the ball in the middle of this bat
Cons: to light
Not what it used to be... Coach Joey parent
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!
Great bat JR H parent
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.
Well balanced with HUGE barrel! A C coach
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!
Are you ready for Combat? Valleye parent
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.
Great Bat Shane MD coach
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.
great bat!! terry w parent
Pros: lightweight, good balance. My son loves this bat.
Cons: none
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!! mark parent
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.
Awesome bat! Jason coach
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.
Good Bat Overall, I’m loving it Luke Wilsey player
Pros: a lot of pop and good feel.The vibration is really minimnal
Cons: maybe a littel more durability
Great Bat, Great Price Stephanie parent
Pros: Large hitting area. Lightweight bat. Easy to handle grip.
Cons: None that I've noticed so far.
best bat hands dowm Noah Summerford parent
Pros: good balanced bat great sound huge sweet spot
Cons: length and drop sticker peels off fairly easy on the bottom
This Bat is HOT!!! Jamie M parent
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
dud bat Fred Elkins parent
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.
Not worth it at all! N. Cohen parent
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.
Combat Maxxum -12 Mat coach
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
Combat Maxum 30/18 Pete parent
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.
Great Bat For The Price Tyson Tinter Parent
Pros: Only used a few times so far. Got it on closeout here at justbats. The balance of this bat is exactly what my son was looking for. We moved to this from a DeMarini Zen which he just never got the feel of. Even though he has only used it a few times so far, the ball comes off the bat with much greater velocity than the Zen. Hoping that Easton takes Combat's technology and uses it exclusively on a bat in the near future. We would be a buyer for sure once he outgrows this one. Please understand that this is not a knock on the Zen which is a great bat in its own right. A couple of other kids on the team would use my son's and they had a better experience using it.
Cons: None that we have seen so far.
Balanced swing! Dan Parent
Pros: Great balanced swing, good pop, true to weight.
Cons: Non so far
A good bat Tba Ding Parent
Pros: Good pop. Faster swing. Great price for the old model.
Cons: Not as popular as some other brand.
Explosive Ross Coach
Pros: Tremendous pop. We bought this for our summer team that was playing in a tournament that allowed USSSA 1.15 but no 2 3/4" barrels. We had kids hitting shots all over the place, Until that tournament, we had only played in USA bat tournaments. The difference was incredible. Basically, every kid was using it.
Cons: Like all bats, you gotta barrel it up. I wouldn't say this is a con just that it will rattle pretty bad off the end or on the handle. Can't really accurately say anything about durability other than it did well in 4 games over 2 days being used by basically everyone.
Great Bat Joseph Duke Parent
Pros: Amazing pop Good feel great durability My son loves this bat. He is 8 and is hitting very well with it. we are about to buy the next size up.
Cons: none

My son is 5 and a half years old and is just over 4 feet tall and about 55 lbs.

Just wondering if this Combat bat in 28/16 would be a good option for him?

They seem a little heavy at times for him but when not playing 5-6 games a week he pounds the ball with them. Coach
