Marucci Cat 7 Baseball Bat Review

Marucci Cat 7

Marucci Cat 7

 

There is no other single piece aluminum bat out there like the Marucci Cat 7.

The Marucci Cat 7 BBCOR is a responsive baseball bat made from AZ4X alloy. This type of alloy comes with improved strength and better responsiveness.

The Marucci Cat 7 also comes with a larger sweet spot which will be appreciated by less experienced players. You can actually take the past versions of the Marucci Cat series and put them up next to this one and see the difference in the barrel.

The handle will not transfer vibrations as previous models because the bat comes with some new tech for a more comfortable use. There’s an anti-vibration knob which reduced the vibrations transmitted to the player. I’ll explain that later but everyone loves that new feature.

Performance

Since the Marucci Cat 7 has an increased sweet spot, there’s better pop and easier contact. That is one of the biggest features that I love about this bat.

The barrel made from an alloy that is better suited for long-term use since there are no unusable spots on the barrel. That just means that there is better durability and you can keep this one for longer than a season. The barrel’s end cap is also engineered with care to provide a better balance and faster swings. These newer technologies also come with a one-year warranty.

The bat has less inertia on the swing which is because of the balanced one-piece design. That makes it one of the most consistent experiences in terms of smoothness and control.

The walls of the bat are now thinner which means there is an improved contact with the ball. That leads to a lot of players hitting the ball farther than usual.

Apart from the alloy design, the bat stands out due to the AV2 knob with its dampening system which allows for improved comfort and fewer vibrations. It’s just more convenient to have something to dampen the vibrations in case you hit a foul ball or something.

It is a well-engineered bat made from a single piece of alloy. This means you’ll get one of the smoothest experiences in its range. It will prove to be both faster and more consistent than previous models. This could also work for players looking for a controlled performance from start to finish.

Since the bat is made from a single piece and it focuses on adjustability it may also replace a couple of other bats. This can make it a good option for traveling players who don’t have the luxury of space and need a bat which can deliver good results with a comfortable feel.

marucci cat 7Since the reduced vibrations technology has been acclaimed by so many users it must make the bat one of the top choices when it comes to long term playability. There is no replacement for a comfortable bat which delivers fast results.

The Marucci Cat 7 Baseball Bat with the AZ4X alloy construction is one of the best options on the market.

It’s up to date with some of the latest vibration-reduction technologies and can also be slightly adjusted with the Anti-Vibration knob. It is a top option for intermediate players looking for a versatile bat. But it may also be a good option for advanced players which need an adjustable bat which can have a small vibrational impact on the hands and is still fast enough to push personal skills. The look of the bat is consistent with the performance and abides to the simple yet effective design.

What Type of Player Would Use This Bat?

In my opinion, I can see any type of player using this bat.

If you are a big hitter and like some weight behind the ball, you can definitely like some parts of this bat. It is not super light like the Louisville Slugger Vapor but it does have a little bit of sturdiness to it. Also, the big hitters will appreciate the super strong aluminum alloy that was made into this barrel.

Now if you are a contact hitter like I am, this bat was a little more made for you. This is because it is a balanced design that goes along with a one-piece design. It is those two features that you usually see in contact hitter bats. It also is a little quick and has great pop.

What I am trying to say is that it is a very good overall option if you want it all in one bat. That is exactly what I see this bat to be in the future. If you want one bat to do it all, this would be one of my top options.
