2026 Demarini Lotus Review

DeMarini 2026

2025 DeMarini Zen Review

DeMarini 2025

It looks like DeMarini is bringing back the Zen for 2025. That's fun. In BBCOR, it might be a limited run in 32—and 33-inch, but we will see if they expand it. USSSA will have a 5, 8, 10 and 11 drop a...

2025 Louisville Slugger Atlas Review

Louisville Slugger 2025

Although most claim the 2025 Atlas barrel to be a reprint of the 2024 barrel (which was a reprint of the 2023 barrel), we struggled to get the same exit velocities out of the 2025 as we could out of t...

2025 Rawlings ICON Review

Rawlings 2025

At the 2024 CWS, we saw a few players swinging at the 2025 Rawlings ICON. We expect this bat to be identical to the 2024 ICON Glowstick and the 2023 ICON save the paint job. Both were big barreled two...
