Take your game to the next level with the new and improved Marucci bat lineup.
Bat Benefits
The CAT 8 USSSA Baseball Bat features a maximized barrel length that provides a wider sweet spot thanks to its longer surface area. One of the main differences from the CAT 7 is the new and improved AZ105 Alloy, the strongest aluminum on the Marucci bat line, which allows for thinner barrel walls, a higher response rate, and better durability. This Marucci bat's one-piece alloy design blends year-round durability with a traditional feel, and its ring-free barrel construction eliminates dead spots while improving flex. Its precision-balanced barrel provides a lower M.O.I. and a balanced feel that makes it easy for any style of hitter to enjoy their personal best results. New to the lineup is the 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob that features an upgraded, harmonic dampening system for a better feel and less negative vibrational feedback Marucci Sports: Honor the Game.
This Marucci CAT 8 USSSA Big Barrel Bat features a -10 length to weight ratio, a 2 3/4 inch barrel, and the USSSA 1.15 BPF certification. The sting-free comfort knob is ergonomically-molded nylon engineered for comfort and control, complemented by a micro-perforated soft-touch grip whose extra tack makes for a no-slip hold. Every element of the CAT 8 craftsmanship comes together to earn a sterling reputation: these Marucci bats provide simply the best look and feel with the most "pop" off the bat and the least vibrational feedback, making an ideal fit for any age and strength of hitter.

Marucci does it again! Matt parent
Pros: Bought the 29/19 for my son. I also have the CAT 7 29/19, which is a great bat! The CAT 8 has a more gradual taper giving it more surface area. The CAT 8 is just a tad bit heavier feeling than the CAT 7, but you would have to really be trying to notice the difference to tell. We Love the barrel! As far as size and taper, it fits between the old green Hex bat and the CAT 7. The sweet spot is insane! Really big sweet spot. Ball speed feels about the same as the CAT 7, but with a larger sweet spot. The bat looks good and should be durable.
Cons: None so far

29-19 Arsenal coach
Pros: Bat has pop IF it's hit on the sweet spot
Cons: it got a big dent after first round of Bp my son didn't care for it and went back to his Prime 918
Winner PopPop coach
Pros: Got a 29/19 drop 10 Cat 8 alloy for the grandson. Used first day in travel ball practice. Good pop and distance right out of the wrapper. No complaints of any sting. All the kids like the look and results. Buy it!
Cons: none
Smooth PopPop coach
Pros: Bought the 29/19 drop 10 alloy for the Grandson. Good pop and distance with first few hits. After 3 days hitting with the bat, He said he has felt NO sting!
Cons: Everybody on his travel team likes this bat !!!!
Great Bat Hornfan31 parent
Pros: Ordered this 29/19 bat the day it came out. Nice pop. Signature Marucci "ping". Boy plays 10u select.
Cons: none so far
WINNER Pop Pop coach
Pros: Bought a 29/19 for the grandson and he loves it. Really good pop and distance with his first few swings. We like the sound when the ball hits the bat. NO complaints of vibration after 2 weeks of practice! Worth the price. Get one!
Cons: All the kids on the team like it and want to use it.
Search No Further!!! Scott parent
Pros: So, I am not one to spend much time on a computer, but I do feel that I owe the Dad's out there who are looking for the right bat that enhances your son's ability to reach his top performance. Well Dads, search no further....this is the bat that will take your son to the next level. We have been Marucci loyalists for the past 3 years. We have put away the Eastons, and the Louisvilles since he started swinging his 18/28 Hex Alloy bat thru his 8U, 9U, and 10U seasons (Great Bat!). Just last weekend, we took it out to the ballpark to hit balls to see if he can put it over the outfield fence. He was line driving them, but either one hop or two hops into the fence. Well, it was now time for a new bat to kick off the 11U season.I read the reviews on Just Bats...and ordered the 19/29 Cat 8. Ordered it and we hit the field this Saturday morning. I pitched first two pitches, both one-hop over the fence. The third - he went YARD!!!! We have officially retired his Hex Alloy.
Cons: NONE - CAT 8 ROCKS...looking forward to the fall season!!!
favorite bat yet Aidan Townsend player
Pros: bat has a bunch of pop no vibration even though it is a one peice bat marucci did a great job and hot right out of the wrapper
Cons: every one on my team wants to use it
Great bat Shawn Cooke parent
Pros: Bought this for USSSA ball this summer. The boy loves it, tons of pop, gets a lot of attention because it's LOUD
Cons: Not really a con, but true story: First time in the short cage my son hit an absolute missile into my right temple, knocked me out cold!
great product CenTex Select parent
Pros: The sound, man it's a beautiful ring when good contact is made...
Cons: This is bat #2, 1st on grew legs and walked off less than a week old. Probably more of a Con about my 8YO than the product...
Bat expert William L. Young other
Pros: Large barrel and good balance little vibration.
Cons: thoutht it would have more pop and bigger sweet spot. Jury is still out on this cause fall ball has not started.
Best Bat Ever... Bobby Dawes parent
Pros: As soon as my 9yo son opened the box he loved it. It is well balanced and has huge pop. First at bat, no kidding, home run! The other kids on his team love it too.
Cons: none
AFTER OUR RESARCH...THE WINNER IS Coach Brad coach
Pros: For the last 3 yrs we have watched kids hit with bats and have looked at reviews and have bought and played with Combat Vigor, Rawlings Velo, and Adidas Aeroburner Alloy. My son loves all of these with the Aeroburner being the hottest...until now. The Cat 8 is a solid notch better and my sin smiles ear to ear. He is 12 and a leadoff contact hitter of thinner size with a great swing. This bat hit on the sweet spot smokes the ball. Low vibration to hands. Great bat. We bought 30/20 size. Worth the price. This is the priciest bat we have purchased but priced better than other brands.
Cons: Light color scuffs up easily but can be cleaned.
My Son says "Everything is great about this bat" Chris coach
Pros: My 8 year old is getting at least 30 feet more distance than his Mako and really seems to love this bat. All the kinds want to hit with it.
Cons: No cons to speak of, just a few scuff marks
Bat has pop! Johnny parent
Pros: Bought a 30/20 for my 10u son and the pop on the bat was amazing. In first batting practice with new bat he hit 9 home runs over the fence and many flew way over.
Cons: No cons yet, though I did notice a few nicks on the bat already.
can not go wrong with this bat!! John coach
Pros: Bought this Bat for my 10yr old , playing in his first travel ball season. He loves it! ** balanced feel to the bat ** no vibration on the hands ** hot out if the wrapper **great price point ** bat looks great
Cons: none
ANOTHER GREAT BAT BY MARUCCI Johnny J parent
Pros: Great Pop, Looks great and the price is good. My 9 year old loves his new bat. His two piece Dirty South is staying in the bag now.
Cons: None
He Loves It D Nice player
Pros: I bought this bat for my 11 year old son and he said "The bat is nice and thick so it has a good grip". He said he knows he will always hit the ball.
Cons: None
Impressed so far Rush coach
Pros: My son loves it. Great pop and good balance.
Cons: None
The real deal Sammy Slams Dad parent
Pros: Great pop. Big sweet spot. Minimal feedback to the hands on mis hits. Great grip, no need for lizard skin upgrade. Too soon to say about durability.
Cons: The whole team uses the bat.
Great Bat So Far JT parent
Pros: Previously bought the F5, which was a great bat (especially) for the price. Decided to spend a little more for the next bat and went with the CAT8. While the F5 definitely has good pop, the CAT8 seems to just a bit more. Where this has seemed to translate is in actual games where my son seems to be generating more pop on balls to the gaps. Also, from what I've seen, my son is getting less sting from this bat that the F5 when it's not squared up off the barrell. In summary, the F5 was a great bat (especially for the price), but the CAT8 seems to be worth the additional price. For what it's worth we've had nothing but great reviews for Marucci.
Cons: None so far.
See for yourself Michael Allen Parent
Pros: https://youtu.be/GRAiSndLZiU
Cons: None
very good bat Brayden Hull Player
Pros: no sting but i have gotten some very good hits with it and i love it my teamates love it aswell
Cons: none
Satisfied Customer Chavonne Parent
Pros: My son loves this bat. He says that this bat is "hot" right out of the wrapper.
Cons: None that I've noticed.
best bat ever carter dobbs Player
Pros: you get a advantage when you use this bat. even when you like lightly swing it the ball gos so far every time good use of $230
Cons: the noise hurts your ears
Great bat Boston Player
Pros: Lots of pop.
Cons: None
Great Bat, FLAT SPOTS On 2 Bats Already Father of a Cat Crusher Parent
Pros: Pop for days, balanced swing weight, the bat just begs to hit hard laser beam gappers! For a one piece aluminum there is virtually zero sting on mishits which is pretty amazing on it's own.
Cons: My son (75 pound 11 year old) has already dented 2 of these. The first one was after 1 tournament and the second one was after 2 tournaments. He doesn't use them for BP or even warm ups, GAME SWINGS ONLY! Makes zero sense. I would suggest if you have this bat to roll it through your hand, you can't really see the flat spots but you can certainly feel them. Now I have to send this one into Marucci and wait. LAME
Hot bat Melissa brzezinski Parent
Pros: Great bat at a good price. First BP hit out of the park.
Cons: None
Son prefers over New Zen Rich Parent
Pros: Composite bats have a brief window where they are exceptional. The Marucci is durable and reliable. The ball jumps off my son's bat as well as it did when his Zen was broken in and before it broke. It's also less expensive which is appreciated. May son loves it.
Cons: None so far. It is very loud in an indoor cage, which the kids prefer.
Love it Tony Coach
Pros: My son's entire 8U East Cobb team uses this bat. Amazing pop, we're seeing 1-1.5mph higher exit velocities (Hittrax) with this bat over the Cat7 and definitely higher EVs with this over anything else in the category. We also own the Cat Composite (more expensive) and maybe it's not broken all the way in yet, but still the highest EVs with this regular alloy Cat8. You're costing your son some performance if you buy him anything else.
Cons: Not quite as big of a barrel as the Cat Composite, slightly less forgiving on miss-hits, but more power so far.
What a great bat LMR Parent
Pros: Balance, sweet spot, pop. This bat gives a young batter great confidence.
Cons: None yet
Bat Dog JASON ALBAUGH Parent
Pros: Good balanced feel.
Cons: Just a little vibration for smaller players.
The King of Pop Jason Dunkel Parent
Pros: This is a great bat right out of the wrapper. Tons of pop and awesome sweet spot. The grip is super sticky, but it will wear off once it is rolled around the batter's box a few times. My son has been hitting this every night for the past 2 weeks and he still has a smile when he crushes the ball. He plays for a travel team and most of the older players and showcase players all have this bat (plus a few others), but I can say that all of them grab this bat first.
Cons: My only complaint is that I didn't get the Cat 7 last year.
Cat 8 Matt G Coach
Pros: -No Sting -Good Pop -Large Sweet Spot
Cons: None
CAT 8 30" Drop 10 JDog Parent
Pros: Good Feel
Cons: N/A
GREAT BAT! Ace Parent
Pros: Bought this for my 11 year old son. He absolutely loves it. He said he loves the feels of the bat. I can see that this bat has more pop then his other bat. I wasn't sure if the handle was really going be a big difference with the vibration but my son said he hasn't felt any vibration yet and this is coming form a kid that ALWAYS had to have the rubber knob for vibration, he has not used it with this bat so far.
Cons: haven't had any yet
Great bat, great service from Justbats.com Scott Coach
Pros: Pop and no vibration
Cons: None
Great bat so far Mike Parent
Pros: My son is 9 soon to be playing 10u travel this spring. Purchased this bat about one month ago so no real game situations yet. However, he is absolutely crushing this ball with his instructor and at indoor practice facility with his team. He says he loves this bat. One of his teammates has already asked to borrow it at practice
Cons: None so far
Well made and as advertised Joe Parent
Pros: Well balanced and very light. My 9year old loves the bat.
Cons: Nothing
Awesome bat Blaire Hale Parent
Pros: My 9 year got this bat just a week ago and has been hitting the ball better than he ever has. It has some nice pop and his hits have been solid.
Cons: None so far!
Great Bat Ryan Parent
Pros: No complaints at all.
Cons: N/A
Great Bat for my 8 year old son! Brandon Kutchey Coach
Pros: Great sounding bat with a great feeling sweet spot.
Cons: If any the white scratch's easy.
Good Bat RMG Coach
Pros: Seems to have better pop than all of the other alloy bat models that are used on our 12u travel team.
Cons: We haven't had it very long so this review is based off of just a couple weeks.
Dents east Tony Coach
Pros: Looks good no vibration ball jumps off it.
Cons: We have had the 31/21 for 2 1/2 weeks and it has 5 dents in it already. It dented the first round if bp. Going to contact Marucci to see if they are experiencing the same in the drop 8.
Amazing Bat!!!! Raymond Parent
Pros: This is my first time reviewing a bat. My son is on a 12u travel ball team in Tampa FL. We recently purchased this bat and the first weekend my son used it he hit his first Over the fence HR. After my son hit his HR a few other kids used it and another kid hit his first HR. Our team now has 4 of these bats in different sizes and weight. Buy it. You will not regret it.
Cons: White color shows marks
Started off good Troy lennon Parent
Pros: Good pop, good feel, and no complaints on vibration
Cons: After 3 tournaments and 10 practices in less than a month the bat has a huge dent in barrel
Cat 8 Anthony Player

Good bat Fuzzy Coach

Cons: No bad
Best bat Shyra Bradford Parent
Pros: Powerful hits, Great pop, Far distant hits, No sting my son loves this bat!
Cons: No cons
FINALLY!!!!! Robin R. Parent
Pros: This bat has made all the difference. We bought another well known bat also about 280.00 and all he got out of it was pop ups. Since he has started using this bat he was instantly his favorite. We will ALWAYS invest in a Marucci!!
Cons: I have nothing bad to say about this bat.
The perfect bat for not being a composite Colton Mayhew Player
Pros: It's way better than the other cats and its awesome for not being a composite. If I had to recommend a bat it would be this one.
Cons: The grip isn't the best.
Don't hesitate buying the new Cat 8 Cody Coach
Pros: This bat is hot straight out of the wrapper. Big 8yo son (59" & 100lbs) was moving up from Easton Ghost X Hyperlite (29/17) to something a bit bigger (30/20). We looked at and tried almost all high end bats on the market, but he felt most comfortable with the balance of this Cat 8. The Ghost X was a composite so I was worried about stinging on mishits. After many cage sessions, he has not had even one stinger. He raves about how much better it feels than his Ghost X. Sound is just right and he now has more confidence at the plate than ever before, which is half of the battle for travel ball at his age. Same kid, same swing, and balls are traveling significantly farther than before. It is not a cheap bat, but at this price point, I would argue that you won't find a better bat. He has recommended this bat to everyone who is willing to listen. No issues with durability so far, but just getting started on the season, so only time will tell.
Cons: None so far!
great bat Sean Coach
Pros: great pop, not much difference that Cat7, but different sound coming off the bat. So far solid and ready to go out of the box
Cons: None so far
Great pop, you’ll like this bat for sure! Mike T. Parent
Pros: Great pop
Cons: A few dents, but it was a cold night
Could be better Chris Coach
Pros: Great feel to it .
Cons: This is the 3rd bat we have dented in the first use of it
Good bat Jim Other
Pros: Good cool weather bat . Bought the bat because of cool weather affecting his composite bat. In season opening double header he went 5 for 7 with a walk off dinger and 7 rbi’s. Don’t think the homer would have carried in the cool weather with a composite bat.
Cons: Don’t know yet. That’s why I gave it 3 stars for durability. My grandson has only used it for one bp and two games.
Cat 8 Sean Parent
Pros: Great pop different sound than Cat7, big sweet spot nice grip
Cons: none so far
The cat 8 Jeremy Coach
Pros: Pop right out of wrapper.
Cons: Can’t use it in both leagues.
Great bat Ken Layton Coach
Pros: Great bat
Cons: The tape on the handle came off
Review Bobbi Wisecarver Parent
Pros: Kid loves the bat
Cons: He wants more bats
Better than I thought it would be Keith Coach
Pros: Good feel kids pick it up and hit smooth quickly. Has good pop out of the box. I've always been a composite bat coach. This bat will work will for the team.
Cons: If anything lacks distance just by a few feet over some composites I have in the bag.
Great Bat!!!!! Deidra Mathis Parent
Pros: The -10 is great for our 12-year old!
Cons: Little spendy
Dented in the Fourth Game of season Jack Player
Pros: Good feel, Great Pop, not much Vibration

Good out of the box Clay Coach
Pros: Lot of pop
Cons: None really.
Cat 8 Albert Jarrell Coach
Pros: Bat seems very balanced and has good consistent pop.
Cons: Still has a little vibration but is better than earlier versions
Bat review Matt Edwards Coach
Pros: Solid bat. Kid loves it!!
Cons: No home runs yet lol
Cat 8 Jeremy U Coach
Pros: Team likes it very well
Cons: Can’t use it in league because of USSSSA
Disappointed David Fakoury Parent
Pros: Looked like a ton of pop
Cons: After 10 swings with official league baseballs the bat has at least 3 dents. One is a flat spot. My son is a 95 lb 11 year old and is pretty disappointed. I don't normally do bad reviews, but I got this bat because of all the great reviews. I know either just bats or marucci will make it right, but another of these bats will not be good enough.
Marucci Cat 8 -10 usssa Chris Ferris Parent
Pros: My son loves the feel and the pop this bat has
Cons: Non so far
Love this bat Billy Wilkes Coach

Mariculture cat 8 Casen Player
Pros: Great bat good pop no vibration great durability and a great overall rating
Cons: Great bat good pop
Great bat Chase Player
Pros: Overall great bat with tons of pop, it has great end pop and middle pop. Little vibration to, especially for an alloy bat
Cons: There are tons of scuff marks even within the first week of having it, it’s going to get dirty quick
Marucci Cat 8 Gold Standard for 9u Lee Caldwell Coach
Pros: Best Pop out of any USSSA bat on the market. Our 9u team has used them all and we still use cat 8 and cat 7 exclusively good grip and padding on handle boys like the way it sounds on a hit over CF zen fit and finish is outstanding
Cons: grip tape starting to come loose after a few weeks, but we will replace with lizard skin before tournaments this summer anyways.
Good bat for the Price Shawn Mayers Coach
Pros: Good Pop, great feel and grip, easy to swing and solid bat
Cons: Not as much pop as expected and a little vibration but overall a very nice bat
Cat 8 for 9u Frank A Nuccio Coach
Pros: Lots of pop
Cons: Maybe heavy for some players
Cat8 Tanner Coach
Pros: Great bat so far!!!
Cons: Haven’t came across anything negative yet.
Absolutely best USSSA bat Rick Parent
Pros: This bat actually has pop. My son has 3 bats in his arsenal. A CAT-7 (about $180), a Zen($350), and this Cat-8. Both the other bats are decent, but the Cat-8 is worlds above both the others and priced about in the middle. Since this bat was bought half the kids on the team hit with it. The sweet spot is almost from the taper to the end. Definitely the best bang for the buck.
Cons: Not USA approved.
Great bat for 11U Travel Jason King Coach
Pros: Huge pop, very low vibration, excellent balance. After 5 seasons with Easton, and 2 broken bats, we tried the Marucci. Wow. tremendous pop. My son loves it, and now a ton of kids on the team have started to share it. Glad we bought it.
Cons: does not come in a -12 version.
Multiple attempts Jeff Miles Coach
Pros: Pop is ok

Good Patrick McBride Coach

Cons: None
WHY WOULD YOU BUY ANYTHING ELSE....SERIOUSLY! BT Coach
Pros: My son used at -10 30/20 for age 13 Select. By the end of the season he had cracked it but it still performed even cracked. Marucci replaced it and we are on to next year. I research and buy bats for my son to try. By far this bat not only has best sweet spot, low vibration and best pop of anything in this price range or higher. If Marucci keeps this up I don't need to research or buy anything else. Love this bat. Don't change anything on quality or price Marucci, you are cornering the market. Thanks.
Cons: White wears rough, wish it was red like the Cat 6.
Almost the entire 10U team is loving this bat! Brad Elhart Parent
Pros: First tournament with bat over 7 hitters used it with great success! Won 3 games with multiple hits into gaps and over outfielders.
Cons: None so far.
Cat 8 Bat Levi Crowdis Coach
Pros: Great bat for a great price. The Cat 8 has excellent pop with a very nice weight distribution and balance. The Cat 8 just feels good in the kids’ hands and provides them a confident at bat!
Cons: None that I can think of
Meeting Expectations Marc B Parent
Pros: This is our first Marucci bat and happy with the overall purchase and performance.
Cons: None
Stop looking at any other bats Josh Coach
Pros: Power out or wrapper, balance, and huge sweet spot! My son is 8 and plays 9u travel ball. He swings the 28-18 and consistently hits solid line drives. He is on the small side but because this bat is so balanced, his contact has improved. I coach the club team and Nearly my entire roster swings CAT8’s
Cons: None
Wow! Chris Coach
Pros: My son is 9, but with this bat he's hitting the ball over 300 feet! Could only get 220 from his CF Zen. Amazing! He's 26-29 so far with it with 18 HR and 6 doubles. Such a great bat!
Cons: He's made 3 outs so far, not good.
CST 8 Mark Parent
Pros: My son loves this bat has alot of pop. He does get hand stinger once in a while. Otherwise the bat is awsome
Cons: My sone has over 500 swings all practice the bats does have some small dents now. We have another cat 8 to use while we send the dented one back for warranty. Mariucci will only warranty the bat once .
it broke in half david Player
Pros: had good pop
Cons: broke in half after a month of hitting
Amazing Aidan Player
Pros: I bought the bat to replace my old one and I bought it used at Good condition and there were only 3 spots that I could see that we’re smudged.
Cons: There’s only a little bit of vibration but I haven’t hit with my batting gloves on.
Great Bat Overall Josh Other

Cat 8 Cody Coach

Cons: A little pricey
Good bat Jim Copeland Parent
Pros: So far it is performing well.
Cons: None yet.
Great bat for 11U travel ball Steve Parent
Pros: Just got this bat for my 11 year old playing his first year of travel ball. After using a USA baseball bat for the last 3 years, this bat was very much appreciated. It has great pop and a nice big sweet spot. Vibration is minimal even for balls hit off the end or the handle. The bat also has a distinct loud “ping” and teammates usually take notice when you hear it. About half of the players on my son’s team use the CAT8, so this is clearly a very popular bat.
Cons: This bat has been used quite a bit in just 2 weeks as we have a batting cage at our house. There are a couple of small dings and the bat has only been used to hit real leather baseballs. I’m not sure about the durability, but time will tell.
Solid Bat - No Worries of Cracking Heath Harshbarger Coach
Pros: Bat is balanced and has pop. No worries of cracking like composite bats. Third purchase in the CAT family the last couple of years. Each bat purchase was for different size and performance is repeatable. Players on team swing bat with confidence.
Cons: None.
A++ Sarah Parent
Pros: My son loves it, adds a lot of confidence on the field!
Cons: N/A
Awesome Bat Corey Cogan Coach
Pros: The boy had a drop 8 he didn't like it to much so I bought this drop 10 and he's laying the wood to the ball.
Cons: None
Love it! Katherine Parent
Pros: My 10 year old son absolutely LOVES this bat! The majority of his travel ball team has a marucci bat too. My son says the bat does not vibrate in his hands when he bats. He loves the length and weight.
Cons: Expensive but worth it!
So far, so good Scott Parent
Pros: The ball seems to jump off the bat compared to USA bats and even other USSSA bats, ie, distance in hits has been 10-20 feet farther compared to other USSSA bats. It seems durable and solid so far. Need a little more time to gauge true durability. Swing is balanced and player really likes it. No complaints regarding vibration. Went with a 29” for an average-sized 9 year old even though usually uses a 28”. The extra length hasn’t been an issue.
Cons: Price
Great Bat! Lauren Lujan Parent
Pros: Love the sound of the pop!
Cons: No cons so far.
Awesome Bat! Rob Wood Parent
Pros: Love the bat and make good contact with it
Cons: None
Very good bat Jackie Tipton Parent
Pros: My son has used the cat 8 for 2 years and he drives the ball like never before.
Cons: none so far
Little Slugger Brent Parent
Pros: Over all my son has played with the cat8 -10 bat for over a year now. Paint around the end cap is gone but besides that it’s a baseball hitting peace of work. Good POP!
Cons: Little vibration ever now and then.
very good colton Player
Pros: Tons of pop and no vibration at all feels really good but feels also slightly end loaded
Cons: none so far
My son loves his new bat!! JIM MILLER Coach
Pros: My son actually hits the ball further with this bat.
Cons: None as of now
Amazing bag Erick Player
Pros: I love the way it feels when the ball goes off the bat
Cons: I really have no cons about this bat
Great bat! Stephanie Walker Parent
Pros: My son is 11 and plays travel baseball. He loved this bat right out of the box, he had been hitting with the Demarini Zen and this seems to be a more balanced weight and a better fit. Great pop!
Cons: none
Good choice Larry Wirtz Parent
Pros: This bat is a world of difference from his other bat, different brand. This is our first time buying a Marucci. My son is hitting the ball with a higher exit speed and more distance. He really noticed the expanded sweet spot. As far as the vibration goes, way less than anything he has hit with before. He said he has felt no uncomfortable sting and he has hit the ball outside of the sweet spot.
Cons: Do not have any at this time. But this a lot higher end bat than what he has used in the past. USA bats. He has moved on to an 8U travel team. So, this is USSSA bat.
Solid Bat. Matt F Parent
Pros: Great balance and pop.
Cons: None.
Boom goes the dynamite! KP Parent
Pros: 1 tournament in, 9u middle of the order hitter loves the 29/19 bat. Great bat for the savvy parent, with growing kid, who doesn’t have to buy the newest version but still wants a top 5 USSSA bat.
Cons: N/A
Love this bat. Ball Pops like crazy Jeff Parent
Pros: Great overall bat. Great pop, great balance, and personally felt it hit better than the Cat9 aluminum. Hit one 300 feet on a 3/4 swing.
Cons: None
It is a very good bat Sheats Coach
Pros: Got the 30/20 brown and gold. Sons first choice when the pressure is on. Big sweet spot. Tons of pop. Easy to swing. Exit velo off the tee is consistently a mph or 2 higher than his cat9 alloy and 23' meta
Cons: Not much vibration but it can happen on badly hit balls. I added a wrap on top of the factory wrap to take almost all the sting out.
Bat use: 8 year old kid pitch Tony Coach
Pros: You can definitely see a change when one is using the Catx vs various other bats that are usa rated. For a kid who struggles to put on size like my kid, this bat handles really well. Never feels heavy; not exaggerating, but the stinging in his hands has gone down more then 1/2 at least.
Cons: I rated the pop 4/5 because I feel like it has lost some pop as time goes on, but I can not necessarily say for sure.
Amazing bat Nick Parent
Pros: Lightweight while having a generous sweet spot and a nice pop
Cons: None!
