The Goods series has become a popular addition to DeMarini’s lineup. With a hybrid “Half + Half” construction that merges a powerful alloy barrel with a composite handle, The Goods series is dedicated to providing a unique blend of weight distribution and power. The bat caters to power hitters looking for a significant end-loaded swing weight and maximum energy transfer. Featuring a unique X14 Alloy Barrel for maximum stiffness with a massive sweet spot, the bat is dedicated to generating unparalleled pop.

  
  

Perfect bat for: Players who want an end-loaded swing weight to dominate the field with sheer hitting power.  
  

### Key features include:  
  

-   X14 Alloy Barrel: Engineered for maximum stiffness and a massive sweet spot, ensuring explosive power on contact.
    
-   Half + Half Technology: Combines a stiff composite handle with an alloy barrel for optimum weight distribution and reduced vibration.
    
-   Direct Connection: Offers a solid feel, maximizing energy transfer to the ball for powerful swings.

### Top competitors comparison: The [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [Easton Maxum](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/maxum-ultra/l165626)

  

Compared to competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the Easton Maxum, DeMarini The Goods differentiates itself with its focused design on maximizing power. While the Meta is known for its balanced swing and the Maxum for its extended barrel, The Goods aims to provide a combination of a heavy swing weight and a stiff barrel, catered towards hitters who prioritize distance and force over everything else. This laser-focused design on power makes The Goods a standout choice for serious sluggers.  
  

### Progression of The Goods series:

  

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model.

- Direct Connection: This feature was designed to provide a more direct transfer of energy and a stiffer feel on contact, appealing to power hitters.  
- Seismic End Cap: Made of the stiffest materials in the DeMarini lineup, this cap helps to deliver explosive energy transfer upon contact.  
  
**2021 - [DeMarini The Goods](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/the-goods/l59750)**  
- Continued use of X14 Alloy Barrel and Direct Connection features for optimized performance.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   My son hit three home runs with the Goods bat at a college prospect camp this weekend. He says the current version feels amazing and is the best one yet.
    
-   I upgraded to this bat from my broken 2022 Goods. It has phenomenal pop and is the best in the Goods line.
    
-   This bat bangs!!! I bought this bat three weeks ago and this barrel is huge!
    

**CONS**

-   My son loved this bat from day one. After three weeks of use the plastic piece where the shaft meets the barrel cracked. Definitely expect something better than this for $450. Haven't started the warranty process yet so we'll see how that goes.
    
-   The bat handle now telescopes into the barrel after the junction cracked. We had expected better quality for the price and it's hard to accept a replacement that arrives 2-3 weeks later at best.
    
-   Bat bought 2 months ago broke when I dropped it. It's a good bat but not very durable. Connector piece broke and it telescoped.
    

  

### Certification: USSSA, USA, BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Goods is a top performer and the 2024 model is the most expensive hybrid bat on the market. It's an end loaded bat for that power hitter in your lineup. The alloy is strong, and it has a good whip to it. Overall, The Goods is in the top five in the hybrids for both BBCOR and youth. The youth was less popular because it was a heavier-feeling.

ADV 360

## Easton ADV 360 Baseball Bat

  

The Easton ADV 360 is a technological pinnacle in the brand’s long history of designing baseball bats. The ADV 360’s design takes advantage of Easton's Launch Composite Technology, a larger barrel contour, and a more responsive (and forgiving) sweet spot. The bat’s overall engineering ensures precision and flexibility across the entire barrel for more consistent performance. With its two-piece iSO ConneXion™ design, the ADV 360 absorbs vibration, delivering an unmatched feel at contact.

  
**Perfect bat for**: Hitters looking for an edge in bat speed, comfort, and overall performance.

  

### Key features include:  
  

-   Launch Composite Technology: Provides a larger barrel contour with a more responsive and forgiving sweet spot for maximum performance.
    
-   Two-Piece iSO ConneXion™: Isolates the handle from the barrel, using Nitrocell foam to absorb vibration for a smoother feel upon contact.
    
-   Power Boost™ Soft Knob Technology: Increases leverage and power potential, while improving comfort and bat control.
    
-   Speed Cap™: Offers a more flexible and responsive barrel with a natural sound on impact.

### Top competitors comparison: [Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [DeMarini CF](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/cf-20/l59398)

  

Against competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF, the Easton ADV 360 distinguishes itself with its 360 Engineering and Launch Composite Technology, offering a unique combination of barrel flex, balance, and tuned performance. While the Meta is renowned for its EKO Composite Barrel and balanced swing, and the DeMarini CF is celebrated for its Paraflex Plus Composite for flexibility, the ADV 360's comprehensive design focuses on delivering a premium blend of speed, power, and comfort, setting a new benchmark for performance.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I've always used Easton gear for baseball. Got this bat for my 9-year-old and it's impressive. Good pop and similar to the Easton Ghost, but with more power.
    
-   Nearly every player on our son's team uses or borrows this bat. It's popular because it hits home runs well.
    
-   I am 12 years old and I hit a home run in my last game with my Rawlings bat. Looking forward to next year!
    

**CONS**

-   I got two bats for my kids, a 29-11 and a 30-10. Both broke even though we used them properly and never misused them. I had to send them back to the manufacturer.
    
-   My son loved the bat, it improved his confidence and hitting skills. However, it cracked unexpectedly despite following the instructions. We're disappointed with the quality, and my son was heartbroken.
    
-   Although the bat was great while it worked, it's disappointing that it failed after just one year, especially not at the barrel. There seem to be manufacturing and durability issues with this expensive bat.
    

  

### Certification: USA, USSSA, BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Easton ADV 360 is a two-piece composite bat. It has a light swing and big barrel. Perfect for the younger hitter. I think it is popular because of the paint job, which is bright neon yellow. It is more of a look than a performance bat, but still a very good bat that doesn’t have a huge amount of breakage. It's an average bat for either Little League or USSSA.

While the DeMarini Voodoo is known for its two-piece hybrid design that emphasizes a balanced swing for hitters who want both power and speed, and the Louisville Slugger Select PWR offers a three-piece design for enhanced swing control and reduced vibration, the Cat 9 Connect specializes in delivering a potent combination of speed, power, and precision, making it a formidable choice for players aiming for home runs.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son enjoyed using. It did not cause any pain and had decent hitting power.
* This bat is a great buy with a lot of pop and no stinging. It has a fast swing and is well-balanced, improving confidence. Kids will love it for little league. 
* Well balanced, no shock, decent pop. My 9 year old likes the added two inches compared to his previous bat. Likes that it doesn’t rattle his hands. Very pleased for the price 

**CONS**



* I purchased this bat for my 9-year-old son to use in little league. Sadly, it did not last long and got cracked in the same weak spot as many other bats.
* The bat snapped in 1/2 while my 9 year old son was hitting.
* My 8 year old son hit very well with it until is snapped in half.


### **Certification**: BBCOR


### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The CAT9 Connect is going to be in the same market as the Select Power, The Goods, and the Voodoo. It's a two-piece hybrid alloy barrel with a composite handle. It's a top-three bat for me. Very good performer and very popular. Just a great overall product.
