Welcome to Baseball Bat Reviews
Unbiased and comprehensive baseball bat reviews that cut through the clutter and hype. A must read for anyone who will purchase a baseball bat.
The Baseball Bat Reviews Blog is dedicated to providing you with quality information on baseball bats for the sole purpose of helping you make an informed decision. This site is run independently of any baseball bat manufacturer or retailer and prides itself in offering an independent non-biased opinion.
Purchasing a baseball bat can be an agonizing and expensive experience. I’ve learned the hard way over the last 13 years with good, bad and horrific experiences purchasing a bat. One day I came to the frightening realization of how much money I’d spent on baseball bats for my sons, and decided it was time to understand the industry and pass along the knowledge.
This site will help answer some of the confusing questions about baseball bats, including:
- The differences between composite and aluminum (alloy) material
- The differences between one and two-piece bats
- The differences between an end-loaded and balanced bat
- The differences between a flex and stiff handle bat
- The differences between the major manufacturer’s line-ups
- Diffusing the spin and hype the manufacturers throw at us, such as: “the same fibers as found in bullet proof vests” and “utilizes aerospace technology”

April 3rd, 2009 at 7:13 pmHi. What is the ‘benefit’ of a $200 bat, compared to a $50 bat? If both are PONY approved, have 2-1/4″ barrels and a 1.15 BPF rating, why choose one over another and if both are the same lenght and weight?
I’m trying to make the best informed decision I can.
Thank you for your help
January 16th, 2011 at 2:34 pmWhat is the real difference between the high end alloy bats (Like the voodoo Black and Surge) and the composite bats like the Omen? I have a son who is 7 and loves baseball. Has quite the hitting stroke and needs to step up to a new bat. Price is not a issue so what would be the best bat for him to use in Little League play.
January 23rd, 2011 at 10:12 amI need to buy my high school player a new bat and would like to know what the difference between a 2011 BBCOR certified bat and a 2012 BBCOR certified bat. How do I know if a 2011 BBCOR certified bat is legal for 2012??
Thank you!!
April 12th, 2011 at 12:32 pmI continue to find The Baseball Bat Review (TBBR) blog a very good source for bat reviews and am looking for to your adding to TBBR’s review of the 2011-2012 line up of BBCOR bats especially regarding weigh balance, pop and vibration.
In the meantime can you tell me what the difference aere between the 2011 Voodoo white and 2012 Voodoo black (both appear to be BBCOR approved but have $100 retail difference)?
