Combat's 2022 B2 Ultra represents one of the final offerings from the brand before their exit from baseball. This one-piece composite bat featured their Precision Molding Technology for an expanded sweet spot, targeting hitters who valued the brand's unique feel and performance.
Models Overview
The B2 Ultra came in standard youth drops with Combat's signature seamless construction and ultra-light swing weight. The composite barrel required a break-in period but rewarded patient hitters with excellent trampoline effect once properly seasoned.
Construction & Technology
The 2022 Combat B2 Ultra is a single piece composite bat with a big barrel and a light swing. It is the same as the previous year's version of the bat (the B2). The B2 is the same as the Combat Maxum bat of days gone by.
Performance Comparison
Compared to the 2020 version of the bat there are no changes other than, at least according to our records, a drop 8 in lieu of the drop 5.
Or, we will venture a guess, the drop 5 2022 version will appear on the shelves when the 2020 version finally sells out on JustBats.com.
Maybe.
Comparable Bats
Single-piece composite bats are not typical in the space. However, the few that do exist are worth considering. We like the Combat Maxum (from Easton) a lot. And Dirt South's MADE lines get a lot of good reviews too. If you want a single-piece composite bat with a big barrel and light swing, you don't have a lot of options. But the ones you do have are usually quite a bit good.
