Endloaded BBCOR

jakewestphal10+ posts

After swinging wood all winter the balanced BBCORs I swung the other day felt like softball bats comparatively. I always seem to hit better with endloaded bats. I realize their are a plethora of forums on BBCOR performance but its very hard to find about the balance of a bat. I need to buy a BBCOR so what are some endloaded models?

Not trying to promote this or any particular site to purchase a bat. Came across it when looking for a site that offered reviews on bats. Maybe this will help.

Was actually looking for the Rawlings bats - the new Velo. They didn't list them.

Easton's new "S" series bats have an end loaded barrel design although they still swing fairly light. LS Omaha is fairly end loaded and has a moderate weight feel.

I know we been swing wood all year too and like to fine a bat that feel like our p72 bat in a bbcor. We have not found a bat we hitting like out wood bat. The bbcor bats we have been hitting seen to tail up and the end as it go out before falling. Has anyone seen that in there bbcor bats?

Haven't seen it in a bat, but it does sound like something I remember from a long-ago duck hunt. Can you please rephrase the question?

Why not just swing end loaded hickory like many teams are going to this year.

You count the number of ABs taken with a wood bat and a non-wood bat during the regular HS season, then we’ll see what the definition of “many” is.

Its ridiculous that bat companies dont give us this kind of information. I hope someday, we as consumers will do something about it.

So this means I will be able to use my Brett Bamboo Dragon that is only BESR stamped?

The Bamboo Dragon is not a single piece wood bat. It is a glued bat so I am not sure. I suspect that a lot of wood bats like yours or besr stamped wood composites like my son swings are going to be rejected because they don't have bbcor stamped on them.
