### 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.

### 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.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son hit three home runs at a college prospect camp this weekend with his latest version of the Goods bat. He says it feels amazing and the improvement to the connector piece has added even more pop!
* This bat means business! Enhanced power and distance. 2024 looks promising!
* I bought this bat three weeks ago, and I must say that the barrel is massive! I had been using the Cat X for a while and decided to switch to a new bat. I picked up the Goods, and in my opinion, it's a far superior bat, especially if you're an experienced hitter.

**CONS**



* "My son loved using this $450 bat, but after three weeks the plastic piece where the shaft meets the barrel cracked. Haven't started the warranty process yet. Another review mentioned a similar issue, so buyer beware!"
* Bat bought 3 months ago. Loved the balance and pop but junction cracked. Handle now telescopes into barrel. Expected better quality for price. Replacement in 2-3 wks hard to accept. Will stick with one-piece bat.
* Brand new bat, probably only used for about 20 swings during live hitting. During their first at-bat in a game, the two-piece connection of the bat cracked. However, the bat still had great pop.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Goods One Piece is the end loaded, heavier version of the Voodoo One. Very similar design, a one piece alloy bat. You have a tiny market share that uses it; the popularity isn't as strong as the two piece simply because The Goods One Piece seems to rattle. If you don't hit it in the barrel's sweet spot, you can get a little feedback in the hands, a slight vibration. The Goods two-piece has a damper built in, so if you didn't hit it just right, it absorbed some of that vibration, whereas the one-piece doesn't have that technology.  \
