2017 combat maxum2017 Combat Maxum Quick Review

The 2017 Combat Maxum has been received as one of the top baseball bats of the year. Various rankings find the bat to be among the top performers in the market. The 2017 version will not make a huge financial impact on your pocket but it will definitely impact your skills, pushing to perform better each time.

But there are a few things which can help get you through the downsides of the bat. If you can, you can choose a -10 drop which will be closer to some other bats which as not as light. The sound will also help you stay within familiar tones also. If the bat is not within your budget but you still like the design you could still choose the previous version which is still available online and can be your entry to the Maxum series.

Performance

The bat is within the frame of Combat`s approach to one-piece design. The composite material provides the solid base for the light swing which is a staple of this years` model. With the lower moment of inertia, the hit can be improved and this kind of versatility is often times hard to replicate with other materials, unlike composite.

With a lower moment of inertia and a composite material, the 2017 Maxum outperforms most of its rivals. The largest barrel in its class make it the top performer and as it doesn`t come with the highest price tag it quickly becomes the number one choice for so many players. If you take into account that this performer is priced at an average rate you truly get a good return on your investment which, for most players, will deliver a low-weight bat focused on hitting the ball in the most powerful way.

Design

There are various colors to choose from with the 2017 Maxum. The bat uses the different coloring system which makes it easier for players to recognize the bat the need. The drop varies from -5 to -10 with an extra option from previous years` model.2017 combat maxum

Its design is something many parents have gotten to love. This is because of the lighter weight, especially when compared with other bats like the Mako series. If you`re considering a bat for your kids or teenagers, you may know the struggle of actually starting to look for bats and having weight as your top priority. That being said, with other bats you may get a two-piece design which might help your kids with comfort as they tend to reduce vibrations and direct the energy back into the barrel. In the end, it will be a matter of personal preference and you might even find yourself in the situation where you need to decide between the larger sweet spot and the amazing performance which comes with it and the increased vibrations and the response which can move towards the hands of the user.

Although some smaller manufacturers have tried to produce a similar design, it seems that nobody can truly keep up with the light performer. The 2017 Combat Maxum baseball bat is well balanced, light weight and fun to use. To actually achieve these types of appreciation from players is difficult and it remands to be seen if the company can live-up to the new standard.

What we know from the past is that the troublesome times have passed for Combat as the company is making waves with its new products every year. Until we see the 2018 model, this years` baseball bat has to prove its worth until the end. Judging by its popularity, things can only improve for Combat.
