Established in 2011, Warstic is a relatively young company in the competitive world of baseball equipment, on a mission to blend the worlds of art, baseball, and a warrior-like mentality. Founded by designer and former professional player Ben Jenkins, the brand stands out thanks to a unique approach to aesthetic design and dedication to performance. Warstic's emphasis on the mental side of the game, combined with their commitment to creating high-quality, beautiful products, has garnered them a loyal following among players who value both form and function.

  

Perfect bat for: Players seeking the firm feel of a single piece with a slow transition knob.

### Key features include:

-   Pro Balanced Feel: Engineered to provide the ideal combination of speed and power, catering to players who thrive on a balanced approach to hitting.
    
-   Alloy Construction: Made with high-quality alloy, the bat promises durability and a solid, responsive feel upon impact.
    
-   Power-Loaded Barrel Technology: Designed to ensure maximum energy transfer and a higher potential for power hits.

### Top competitors comparison: [Marucci CAT9](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat9-2/l163499) and the [Easton ADV 360](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/adv-360/l59709)

### Progression of the Warstic Bonesaber Baseball Bat:

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model.  
  
**2020 - [Bonesaber](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/warstic/bonesaber/l65188)**  
- Stealth matte black design  
- Improved alloy for enhanced performance  
  
**2021 - [Bonesaber BBCOR](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/warstic/bonesaber/bat-type-bbcor/l247540)**  
- New pommel design for increased leverage  
- Enhanced alloy

- Enhanced pommel grip

- Improved balance

  

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

  

**PROS**

-   My son loves his Bonesaber bat due to its large sweet spot, perfect for power hitters. It's one of the top bats in his NY little league and is highly sought-after by other kids.
    
-   My son, who plays in the 7U league, is a good hitter, especially when hitting to the opposite field. He has been practicing in the cage with the Warstick bat, and the ball jumps off the bat. This lightweight bat has made his hands quicker to the ball.
    
-   My kid loves the feel of the taper knob like a wood bat. Also, it’s a great looking bat.
    

**CONS**

-   Bat doesn't have expected power for the price. Similar "pop" to $100 Rawlings Threat. Expected better.
    
-   No pop from this bat.
    
-   Bat is not very powerful when new, vibration on mishits uncomfortable. Weight and balance good. Was hoping for more power with use.
    

  

### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, and USA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Warstic Bonesaber is a single-piece aluminum bat known for its unique flared knob. It resembles some of the wood bats that the pro ball players use. Which is why I think some players go for it. But performance-wise, it's not my favorite bat. It's stiff and a little on the heavy side.

Boasting an updated look and crafted through both player trials and AI simulations, this bat combines cutting-edge technology with the legendary history of Louisville Slugger bats.

**Perfect bat for:** Players who prefer a light swing weight or a wood-like feel in an alloy bat. It's a precision hitter’s bat designed to provide a good balance between weight and power.


### Key features include:



* **EVOKE Alloy Barrel:** AI-optimized wall design along the entire length of the barrel.
* **SPD-Gen2 End Cap:** Designed with lightweight, composite materials to optimize barrel performance.
* **Premium LS Pro Comfort Grip:** Applied to the handle for the added tack and cushion players love, improving comfort and bat control.

### Top competitors comparison: The [Voodoo One](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/voodoo-one/l9487) and [Easton Alpha ALX](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/voodoo-one/l9487)


The Voodoo One, Easton ALX, and Louisville Slugger Atlas, all light-swinging single-piece alloy baseball bats, offer distinct advantages for hitters. The Voodoo One emphasizes precision and durability with a balanced swing, while the Easton ALX focuses on a responsive sweet spot and lightweight feel. The Louisville Slugger Atlas, incorporating AI simulations, stands out with variable barrel thickness for a massive sweet spot and optimal performance, carrying the historic legacy of the Louisville Slugger brand. Each bat caters to different player preferences, with the Voodoo One and Easton ALX providing reliable performance and the Atlas introducing technological innovation for elite high school and college players.


### The progression of the Louisville Slugger Atlas Baseball Bat:

There is no 2022 version of the Atlas. It’s compared to the single-piece Solo which also used a variable wall thickness and unique end cap to keep the bat light. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)


**PROS**



* My 14-year-old son needed a new BBCOR bat. He likes the one he got as it swings light and the barrel seems huge, although it's very loud.
* My son has been swinging a Cat X composite. I was not seeing the bat speed I thought he should have by now, I bought him the Atlas and from the first swing I saw a difference on bat speed. 
* Balanced bat with a massive sweet spot which makes it easy to catch barrel. As well as great improvements in durability.

**CONS**



* Loudest bat especially in cages. Bat has a rattle in it and we have only had it 3 months.
* The bat has so much vibration.
* Way to loud. It's distracting.


### Certification: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Louieville Slugger Atlas is a newer bat that's been out for two years now. It's the next bat in the same generation as the Louisville Slugger Solo. It is a one-piece design, very easy to swing. Flashy paint job. It’s one of the top couple of bats in the alloy market.

### 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.

-   This bat is amazing! With a slight end load and tons of pop, it's the perfect choice for any player. We're so happy we made this purchase - it's definitely worth it!
    
-   This bat has a huge sweet spot, is super forgiving on the hands, has no vibration in the handle, and is more durable than other bbcor bats.
    

**CONS**

-   Unfortunately, after the first tournament it already has a slight rattle in the barrel.
    
-   I purchased this bat a month ago. After hitting two foul balls, the bat got scratched beyond my expectations.
    
-   This bat has no pop, feels like a USA bat, should be a cage bat, no pop, no pop!
    

### Certification: BBCOR, USA, USSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

  

The Louiseville Select PWR bat is one of the hottest bass out there for hybrids. The BBCOR model is a heavier bat and is in the same category as The Goods by DeMarini. Only about 20% of the market is going to be able to use this bat just because of it’s weight. It’s designed for a power hitter who likes a stiff feel and big barrel.

### 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)

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.

* CAT8, CAT8 Connect, and CAT Composite are launched.

* 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 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.

While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that.

The DeMarini Voodoo One stands out with its balanced swing weight and explosive power, perfect for hitters focusing on precision and speed. Competing models like the Easton ADV 360 and the Louisville Slugger Solo offer similar technologies for balance and speed. Still, the Voodoo One's unique combination of the X14 alloy barrel and Tracer End Cap provides a distinctive edge in power and feel.

### 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. 

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This technological twist provides a sweet blend of pop, performance, and reduced hand sting for players—and has created some well-deserved hype for the Voodoo. Founded in 1989, DeMarini has emerged as an innovative designer for baseball bats at every level. The balanced swing weight and maximized pop of the Voodoo bat is proof of this progression.

**Perfect bat for:** Elite high school and collegiate players who want to maximize their hitting power without sacrificing speed and control.

Top competitors comparison: [The Louisville Slugger Meta](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/meta/l59403) and the [Easton ADV 360](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/easton/adv-360/l59709)

The Louisville Slugger Meta is known for its composite barrel that provides a larger sweet spot, while the Easton ADV 360 features an ultra-light swing weight and custom Lizard Skins grip. The choice between these models often comes down to personal preference between a lean towards power (DeMarini Voodoo), sweet spot size (Louisville Slugger Meta), or customization and swing weight (Easton ADV 360).

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* I enjoy the balanced weight distribution of the bat in my hands.
* The bat has a really good swing weight, and I know it won't break easily. 
* It has a fantastic pop and an excellent feel with no vibration at all.

**CONS**


### **Certification**: BBCOR, USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The Voodoo is an older model. It's been discontinued and replaced by a new bat called The Goods. Both are very similar in design. The Voodoo is a heavier bat designed for larger players who want more power and distance. It's one of the better performers in that two-piece design; it's a composite handle with an alloy barrel, which means they call it a hybrid because it has both materials inside the bat (alloy and composite), giving it an enloaded feel. 

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bonesaber Hybrid

5150

### Expert Notes
The Rawlings 5150 series is the ultimate workman’s bat. The most recent 2023 Rawlings 5150 furthered the end loaded, heavier feel and extra stiffness that we loved its predecessors for, while adding a brand new bat grip that hitters I’ve spoken to say provides unmatched comfort at the plate. Although some of these hitters also miss the neon green 5150 releases from 2016 and 2017, the model’s evolution can be clearly traced through this bat’s commitment to one piece, alloy bats that care about performance over cosmetics. The Rawlings 5150 is a blue-collar, power hitter’s bat that I’d recommend for anyone who’s looking to pad their home run stats.

ADV Hype

### Expert Notes
The Easton ADV Hype metal bat series is a batting average’s best friend. Considering
the success of older ADV Hype models, it’s surprising to see that the 2022 ADV Hype
release features a different barrel, handle, and connection piece than those earlier
versions. But the rave reviews make it clear that these
updates were well-received. Still older ADV Hype models have a lot to offer
hitters, too. The one throughline is the balanced and
lightweight feel. 

Regardless of which model of this bat you prefer,
one swing should convince you that the Hype is real.

Velo

### Expert Notes
The longest lasting metal bat series on the market is still at its peak. Rawlings legendary Velo series returned in 2022, with a Velo ACP release that I’ve heard hitters say offers unparalleled balance at the plate. Over time, the Rawlings Velo series has evolved by incorporating the ACP (Accelerated Carbon Performance) line that adds extra carbon in the barrel, which we’ve heard does a lot to increase pop. While Velo’s aren’t the best looking bats you’re going to find, they make up for the plainness with top-notch performance. Rawlings’ resilient Velo series should continue to be a favorite for hard-nosed hitters who prefer production over flash.
