The Warstic Bonesaber is a single-piece aluminum bat with a unique and coveted tapered handle. 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.

-   Power-Loaded Barrel Technology: Designed to ensure maximum energy transfer and a higher potential for power hits.
    
-   Sleek Aesthetic: Beyond performance, the Bonesaber features a distinctive, minimalist design and a stark, eye-catching color scheme that stands out on the field.

The Warstic Bonesaber differentiates itself with a distinct focus on the psychological aspects of baseball, combining performance with an aggressive, bold design not typically found in competitors' products. While the Marucci CAT9 is known for its advanced multi-variable wall design that enhances the sweet spot, and the Easton ADV 360 stands out for its 360 Engineering for 360° barrel-tuned precision, the Bonesaber excels in providing a balance of speed, power, and artistry, catering to players who view baseball as not just a sport, but a battle.

### 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.

### 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.

CAT8

## Marucci CAT 8 Baseball Bats 

 
The Marucci CAT 8 series is part of a lineup of bats consistently praised for outstanding performance and durability. The CAT 8 is a two-piece composite bat designed for a blend of power, speed, and control at the plate, with an expanded sweet spot to help hitters achieve their full potential. The series also serves as a testament to Marucci’s commitment to applying data and insights from professional hitters. Founded in a backyard shed in 2002, Marucci Sports has grown into one of the most reputable names in baseball equipment over the past 20 years. 

 
**Perfect bat for:** Youth to college-level players who are in search of a bat that offers a blend of power, speed, and comfort.


###  
Key features include:




* **AZ105 Super Strength Aluminum Alloy:** Offers thinner barrel walls for a higher response rate and unmatched durability.
* **Multi-variable Wall Design:** Expands the sweet spot and reduces weight, enhancing forgiveness and power.
* **Precision-balanced Barrel:** Designed for optimal swing speed and control, improving hitters' performance across all levels.
* **AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob:** Delivers a better feel and minimizes sting on mishits, ensuring comfort during every at-bat.

### Top competitors comparison: [The Louisville Slugger Omaha](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/louisville-slugger/omaha-2/l8755) and the [DeMarini Voodoo](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/demarini/voodoo/l7333) 

Marucci CAT 8 particularly excels in its use of AZ105 alloy for durability and a thinner barrel for a higher response rate. While the Omaha and Voodoo are known for their balanced swing and innovative technology, the CAT 8 sets itself apart with its anti-vibration technology and multi-variable wall design, the cat 8 uses 8 different thicknesses of barrel wall, offering players a mix of comfort, power, and precision that is hard to beat.


### Progression of the Marucci CAT baseball bat

Here is a list that details the progression of this series, highlighting the main features and advancements with each new model.

 


**2014 **-** [CAT6](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-6/l7498)**



* Building on the ring-free barrel design, Marucci releases the CAT6 with an extended, optimized barrel made from the AZ3000 alloy.
* Patented anti-vibration knob takes on additional weight for a more balanced feel and faster swing speeds.

**2017 **-** [CAT7](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/baseball/bats/marucci/cat-7/l7247) & CAT7 CONNECT**



* CAT7 and CAT7 Connect are introduced, featuring the upgraded AZ4X alloy for improved performance.

* 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.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* I am pleased to say that my son has experienced an increased exit speed and longer distances. He has noticed that the bat has an expanded sweet spot, resulting in more comfortable hits with less sting.
* My son had a few mishits but the ball still came off decently, and he mentioned that there was no vibration. I would recommend this bat, especially for younger kids who are improving their skills but still want success.
* A go-to choice when under pressure. It has a large sweet spot, providing a ton of power. The bat is also easy to swing and consistently achieves a higher exit velocity off the tee compared to a Cat9 alloy and 23' meta.

**CONS**



* I purchased the -8 version, which has a small sweet spot. The knob is great, but the grip is not as effective. 
* If you are still 11, I suggest you get the drop ten because it has a bigger sweet spot and more pop due to its smaller aluminum content. Overall, it's a nice medium-swinging -8! 
* I was unaware that this bat was the Junior version and only recommended for Coach Pitch.


### **Certification**: USA, USSSA, BBCOR 


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

The CAT8 is an older model from 2019 and a good BBCOR and USSSA bat. Very good performing bat with a sound that players love. Lightweight and easy to swing. It's probably one of the best sellers, and since the CAT8 is still available, it's perhaps one of the better bang for the buck. Prices dropped for this older model. So, it is a good match for an entry-level player on a tight budget.

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.
