CAT X

## Marucci CAT X Bat

The Marucci CAT X is a single-piece alloy bat that features a huge barrel and powerful out-of-the-wrapper performance. Designed with precision, the CAT X exemplifies Marucci's commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and engineering in bat design. Founded in 2009 with a commitment to enhance the game using top-tier equipment, Marucci has since made significant advancements in bat technology thanks to direct collaboration with professional athletes. This relationship with some of the game's top players ensures Marucci's products are crafted with a keen understanding of what athletes truly need at the plate.

**Perfect bat for:** High school and collegiate players who demand elite performance, superior balance, and a more responsive feel from their equipment.


### Key features include:



* **AZR Alloy Construction:** Offers a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness, and enhanced performance at the plate.
* **Multi-variable wall design:** Creates an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving after off-centered contact.
* **Ring-free barrel technology:** Provides maximum performance with no “dead” spots, ensuring every hit feels solid and powerful.
* **AV2 Anti-vibration knob:** Features an upgraded, finely tuned harmonic dampening system for better feel and less vibration.
* **Professionally Inspired Handle**: Features a removable taper and ergonomic knob shape for more top-hand control and comfortable swings.


### Top competitors comparison: The [Rawlings Velo ACP](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/rawlings/velo-acp/l164357) and the [Easton ADV 360](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/adv-360/l59709)

Marucci's CAT X sets itself apart with its unique AZR alloy construction and anti-vibration technology. It is ideal for players looking for a blend of traditional feel and modern performance enhancements. While the Rawlings Velo ACP leads the field with its Accelerated Carbon Performance for a lighter swing, and the Easton ADV 360 capitalizes on its Launch Comp™ technology for higher flex and response, the CAT X shines with its superior balance, reduced vibration, and increased sweet spot thanks to its proprietary construction and design features.


### Progression of the Marucci CAT X Baseball Bat:


Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model. 


**2019 - [CAT8](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat9-2/l163499), CAT8 CONNECT, CAT COMPOSITE**



* CAT8, CAT8 Connect, and CAT Composite are launched.
* The barrels of CAT8 and CAT8 Connect are constructed using the new AZ105 alloy for higher performance at the sweet spot.
* Introduction of SDX EXT connection technology for a stiffer connection and improved energy transfer.
* CAT Composite, a two-piece composite bat, is introduced with SDX EXT and ring-free barrel construction. 


**2021 - [CAT9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat9-2/l163499) and CAT9 Connect**



* CAT9 and CAT9 Connect are released with the new AZR alloy for a more responsive microstructure.
* CAT9 features a 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-vibration knob and additional weight below the hands for better control.
* CAT9 Connect introduces the Outer-Locking System (OLS) for an even stiffer connection and virtually zero vibrations.

**2023 - [CATX](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-x/l175792), CATX Connect, and CATX Composite**



* The CATX, CATX Connect, and CATX Composite represent a significant generational change.
* CATX features AZR Alloy with new barrel profiles and an ergonomic, custom-shaped tapered handle.
* CATX introduces Liquid-Gel anti-vibration technology.
* CATX Connect and CATX Composite maintain the OLS and introduce S-40 composite handle for increased performance and energy transfer.
* Barrel profiles are reshaped for better balance, with a focus on data from the Baseball Performance Lab.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* Decent pop and has good barrel control. It seems lighter due to the way it;s balanced. If you’re thinking of moving up in size, do it with this bat.
* I got my son the CAT X BBCOR 33" bat. He chose it over his Voodoo One for his high school varsity games. The CAT X seems well-built, and other players using it have had no issues. In contrast, two of his teammates' Voodoo One bats have already broken this season.
* The grip is cushioned and comfortable. The liquid gel handle reduces vibrations and the "sweet spot" on the barrel is forgiving. Highly recommend this bat.

**CONS**



* The BBCOR Cat X is by far the worst Marucci we've ever bought. It has NO Pop and sounds like he's hitting rocks with the bat. The ball barely leaves the infield when he hits it. 
* Broken in by underhand toss of 160 pitches. Handle broke in a week. Wearing gloves saved the my son's hands.
* Unfortunately my son has been using this bat for only a few weeks and there is already something rattling in the handle.


### **Certification**: BBCOR and USSSA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

CATX came out in 2023. The first gen is a white ribbon silver bat. For the second run, Marucci came out with a version called the CATX Vanta. It's a blacked-out, limited-edition. Both gens are an alloy one-piece bat, both very strong performers. They took the alloy and strength from the CAT9 and applied the balance and feel from the CAT8 to develop the CATX.

**Perfect bat for:** Amateur power hitters looking for a mix of reach, power, and vibration reduction in their swings.


### Key features include:

* **SDX LT Connection:** Provides a stiffer feel while reducing vibration, offering better energy transfer and reducing the sting on mishits — ideal for aggressive hitters.
* **Power-Loaded Barrel:** Engineered to optimize weight distribution, enhancing power potential without sacrificing swing speed.
* **Ring-Free Barrel Technology:** Eliminates barriers to maximum performance, ensuring no “dead” spots across the barrel’s surface.
* **Ergonomically Designed Knob:** Promotes comfort and control, complementing the bat’s design to reduce hand fatigue and improve overall handling.
* **Micro-Perforated Soft-Touch Grip:** Enhances comfort and tack, allowing for better control and reducing the likelihood of slippage during powerful swings.

The Marucci CAT X Connect distinguishes itself with its specialized SDX LT connection that minimizes vibration while maximizing power, tailored specifically for power hitters who value comfort and efficiency. While the DeMarini Voodoo is celebrated for its balanced swing weight and the Easton Ghost X Evolution for its dynamic feel and quick swing speed, the CAT X Connect excels in delivering a powerful, stiff, feedback-friendly experience, marked by a reduction in vibration and an increase in power transfer.

* The CATX, CATX Connect, and CATX Composite represent a significant generational change.
* CATX features AZR Alloy with new barrel profiles and an ergonomic, custom-shaped tapered handle.
* CATX introduces Liquid-Gel anti-vibration technology.
* CATX Connect and CATX Composite maintain the OLS and introduce S-40 composite handle for increased performance and energy transfer.
* Barrel profiles are reshaped for better balance, with a focus on data from the Baseball Performance Lab.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* It's an end-loaded bat, but it's very easy to swing. You have full control when going through the strike zone, no matter where the ball is over the plate.
* This bat allows you to maximize your swing speed for high ball exit velocities. The sweet spot is huge and covers almost the entire barrel of the bat, making the ball jump off the bat."
* It’s been used for about a month for cage work and early season practice. The ability to consistently barrel or square up on a pitch is better than any bat on the market. The connect version does minimize the vibration.

**CONS**



* The grip is slippery. Even with batting gloves on it’s hard to hold on to it. Easy fix with a lizard skin grip.
* Bat knob fell off after 1st time using, no pop!
* Used for one game and the knob sticker has come off already. 


### Certification: BBCOR, USSA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The CATX Connect is a hybrid bat. It's a strong performer. It's top five in the hybrid market. Very easy to swing, very well balanced. There's a good nature to it; it doesn't dent. It's very durable. But it is an end-loaded bat and a two-piece hybrid, so it's more designed for the power hitter and for stronger players.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* Bought for son transitioning to BBCOR. Light and balanced. Good pop and sound. Great balanced BBCOR bat!
* Like cheating, it’s awesome! Whole barrel is super hot. 33” sweet spot
* Bat has huge sweet spot. Lots of pop!

**CONS**



* My son's bat grip is separating already. The bat lacks the usual sound of CatX or Cat8 bats. We paid extra for the grip, but it's coming apart fast. 
* The price doesn't deserve more than 4 stars, but we appreciate the fast shipping and the name engraving.
* Bought this bat for my 14 year old, felt good during batting practice, but the second he hit the ball in game it broke in half! 500 dollars down the drain.


### **Certification**: USSSA, BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The CAT X Composite is very, very easy to swing. Not quite as popular as the CF in terms of performance. There are newer Marucci bats out there that are stronger, hotter-performing bats. But it's still a top top-tier bat. It's right up there with the CAT9 composite, but it doesn't get the notoriety because you've got some newer bats on the market with cooler paint jobs.

Voodoo One

## DeMarini Voodoo One Baseball Bats


The DeMarini Voodoo One is designed for balanced swing weight and a classic feel. It serves as DeMarini’s premier bat for players seeking one-piece alloy construction.

The bat’s one-piece construction offers the explosive power of a bat that’s stiff on contact, and its barrel is bookended with a reinforced knob and cap that have helped make a name for DeMarini over the past 35 years.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* This is an excellent one-piece bat with a balanced feel.
* My son is using his first BBCOR bat. Although he was previously using a -5 USSSA bat, he hasn't noticed any difference in the weight. He has already had success with it on the big ball field this fall. This one-piece alloy bat is great, especially in the Northeast where temperatures are cooler.
* I am very satisfied with this bat. My son has recently started playing on a 60/90 field. This bat has excellent balance and a large sweet spot. It has great pop right out of the wrapper, so there is no need to break it in. Additionally, it looks great too.

**CONS**



* Bat is too light, causing players to swing early. It doesn't have as much power as a BBCOR composite bat. 
* Not suitable for heavy hitters; ideal for children who require a lighter bat for swinging. Grip must be perfect, or it will sting hands.
* The sound changed, and when the handle was tapped on the ground, it produced a vibrating sound.


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

DeMarini's Voodoo One swings light and offers a ton of pop thanks to its stiff one-piece alloy construction. While the small barrel might not be for everyone, contact hitters and power swingers both appreciate its speed and distance potential. If you're a player seeking a light bat with serious pop, the Voodoo One deserves a swing.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity) 

**PROS**



* Hardly an break in period with lots of pop. I also like the color design (didn't think I would).
* Seems to be a fairly hot bat out of the wrapper. Probably about 300 hits in on it. 
* My son’s first at bat with this new bat was a homerun over the fence at 11 years old!!

**CONS**



* I purchased this bat a month or two ago and absolutely loved it. It has great pop and swings lightly. However, today, after only about 350 swings during normal batting practice, the bat telescoped, which is quite ridiculous as I have only heard of telescoping occurring after tapping the bat on the ground.
* Makes a weird rattling noise every time it touches the ground or hits the ball. Overall poor quality.
* I had this bat for a few weeks before it snapped in half at the handle.


### **Certification**: USSSA


### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Zoa is a two piece composite. Very good bat. It has a little bit of an end loaded feel to it. The Zoa glitch is the Zoa with a flashy new paint job. For around $50 more, you can get this special color. They survey the kids each year and ask, "What's your favorite color"? It doesn't make the bat perform any better. But you know a lot of it is fashion.
