Voodoo One in 32" back up on Demarini's site.
I just ordered a 33" on BetterBaseball. My wife is going to think I'm nuts. I still need to sell his 32" blue Meta. If he doesn't like the Voodoo One I should be able to sell it for more than I paid.
I noticed almost our entire team (Juco) is swinging that grey/yellow Easton xl3 from 2015 or so. I still say it’s the hottest bbcor ever made.

I haven't seen that one. Remember the orange xl1 -5? All the tournament teams had them. Hottest bat i ever saw
That yellow 2 1/4” composite Easton was unreal for youth bats. The LS Prime 917 2 1/4” was also super hot. I remember LL trying to get kids to switch at the LLWS. And obviously the recently banned green Zen is one of the best ever
If anyone else was waiting for a 32" Voodoo One, they're back in stock at Justbats
The 33 voodoo one arrived today. Didn’t have time to hit balls but he just took a couple swings and says it feels really light
I have a 31” Voodoo One arriving tomorrow for my 2025. It’s getting cold this week and no way I am letting him swing the Red Meta in cold weather. Looking forward to seeing how it performs for him. Will get some exit velo testing done in the garage tomorrow and see how it compares to the Meta.
Honestly. Imo. The best cold weather bbcor is the stringking metal pro. $99. As hot as voodoo. At 1/3rd the price.
Son just picked up the 33” victus nox and hit with it last night. After every hit he would say “I really like this bat”.

Most definitely light. If you take the Baseball Bat Bros word, they said it's one of the lightest swinging bbcor bats. I was swing my sons bat and then picked up an old XL2 (white barrel). Holy cow the XL2 felt like a sledge hammer.
The weather system that necessitated the immediate need of the Voodoo has now derailed its delivery....UPS tracking now says, sorry it’ll get there when it gets there.
Man, where do you guys live that the weather is so bad? I don't really watch TV or any news, so I'm completely ignorant to anything besides the 80* southeast FL weather.

I am in Texas, there is an arctic front moving through the central US that is disrupting transportation. The bat was shipped from NJ via Chicago right through the ice storms.
This weekend our high temps won’t get out of the 30’s and some forecasters say lows could reach single digits over nights.
The verdict is in. The exit velo was a touch higher with the Voodoo One but he likes the feel of The Goods more than the Voodoo. I’m going to have him try it one more time before selling it.
My son ( 14 years old) and one of his team mates, both got a Stinger Nuke for Christmas. Both are just now hitting B.P. with it. They both REALLY LIKE IT ! Teammates older brother , doesn't like it so much as he likes a "lighter" swinging bat. The Nuke is a bit end-loaded.

Yea, the weather over the next week is going to be brutal down here in Texas. Not looking forward to sitting in the bleachers on Saturday for 3 hours during a scrimmage.

Sounds like my son. He is killing it with The Goods right now and the Voodoo One hasn't moved for about 10 days. He told me I could try to sell it. But something keeps telling me to just wait.

Yeah, I feel the same way. We only did tee and soft toss. I'd like him to try it in live BP. We haven't taken the wrapper off yet but I think I will. Even with a "few" swings on them they are listing at $400+ on secondary market sites. My son is in no way what I would consider a power hitter, but he uses his lower half very well to generate bat speed. I imagine having such a light swinging bat might change that feel.
The Goods and Voodoo One are really on the opposite ends of the spectrum for swing feel. If your son is predisposed to the feel of one of them there is just about zero chance they are going to feel comfortable with the other.
