Review Summary

COMbat B4: B4YB1 -12 Youth
4.540984 based on 61 ratings. 61 user reviews.

New for 2012! Forget everything you've ever known about composites! The B4 is everything a composite bat should be, and more! The B4's ancestors were some of the hottest bats on the market. COMbat has taken everything they've learned after the release of the B1, B2, B3 and B3 Gear to finely tune the B4 and develop the ultimate composite bat! Using Maximum Performance (MAP) Technology, COMbat has created a bat with single wall construction allowing for longer a barrel length and lighter swing weight, resulting in MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PERFORMANCE! The one-piece 100% composite frame uses Blended Fiber Technology where Aramid fibers (found in bulletproof vests) are combined carbon and fiberglass in varying proportions. The precise angles created results in more energy transfer to the ball and ultimately more trampoline effect! COMbat also employs Variable Stiffness Technology (VST) to give the B4 a HUGE SWEETSPOT! VST works by increasing the stiffness in the handle, which consequently reduces vibration, and decreasing the stiffness in the barrel, giving the B4 what COMbat likes to call a Super Sweetspot Size!! The B4 has an ultra soft feel that players will love and performance that will be talked about for years to come! COMbat: For Players, By Players! The B4 is approved for play in Little League, USSSA, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, and AABC. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by Beans - Jun 15, 2011

Pros: The B4 is true to Combat form. Because of the new LL rules, my son switched to the Omen this year. He did not like it as much as his B3 Gear. We just got this bat and he loves it. He is hitting the ball great and with authority. Well balanced unlike the Omen.

Cons: Although the white grip looks cool at first...it's now more of a reddish white.

by Big Max - Jul 05, 2011

Pros: GREAT bat. Didn't take too long to break in. Big Combat fan, tried the Grifter (dud) when the B1 and B2 were banned. B4 is better than the new CF5 and it is cheaper.

Cons: All teammates are swinging it. Time for them to get their own.

Pros: WOW!!!! Very solid and hard hitting with great speed off the bat. My son hit about 150 balls today and all were rockets. Very sharp appearance and very durable. Quite impressed with this bat. He already has the B2, Da Bomb and it too is awsome. Love ComBats and will buy nothing else.

Cons: Minor sting when hit off the end of the bat.

by BaseballBeast07 - Jul 12, 2011

Pros: Awesome bat. I have the "B1" bat and it recently went on the illegal side for composite bats. For $219.99, I sure hope that this one doesn't turn illegal! Besides that, this bat has great pop, and also has an awesome sound! It's great and it's not even broken in yet! Buy it!!

Cons: It Can chip easily,and it's white handle turns reddish- white.

by finallyfoundit - Feb 25, 2012

Pros: Bought my son a CF5 last year for All Stars. It was a dud out of the wrapper, but it heated up as it broke in. CF5 is a fine bat, but wasn't sure he was taking advantage of the double wall construction. Just picked up the Combat B4 from here, and what the heck? He used a B1 for All Stars last year, and this thing is just as hot as that bat was right out of the wrapper. Does it blow the CF5 away? If you consider he's hitting the ball farther with every cut, then yes it does. Pile driver of a bat with amazing pop!

Cons: none

by Ray Ray - Apr 04, 2012

Pros: My 11 & 12 year old sons had been hitting with the Easton Omen for the past 8 months and loved it. 3 days before opening day this year the end cap popped off..Needless to say bad outing on opening day. Ordered this bat ASAP! (they don't make the Omen anymore) I've heard great things about Combat Bats so i figured we'd try one. AWESOME! Great pop out of the wrapper..heck of a confidence builder. Lighter than it says to be, and it's not broken in yet!

Cons: Everybody wants to use it.

Pros: My son is 7 years old and has successfully bumped up to thge B4 just in time for U-8 All Stars. The pop off of the bat is truly impressive. A combination of the bat and improved confidence are consistently helping to hit balls 20% farther.

Cons: The white grip was white for one at bat. As long as it's functional, we're OK with it. The bat is a hit with the whole team and that stresses the kid out...

26634

My son has had this bat for about 6 months and today when cleaning i noticed a lot of the paint is chipping. He looks after his bats. Is this an issue and would it be covered under the warranty?

I can tell you from years of experience playing ball that paint chips are a somewhat normal occurrence. This is something covered by the manufacturer's warranty, but I always recommend saving your warranty for when something occurs that will actually effect the performance of the bat. You can contact Combat at 1-866-266-2287 for warranty information.

25932

What is the difference between the-12 and the-10

The -12 and -10 are referred to as the drop of the bat. You basically figure out what length the player needs to swing, and subtract the drop from the length of the bat to get the weight. Therefore, the -12 would be a lighter bat if you had the same length for both bats drops.

25913

I am getting this bat for my birthday when I turn 12. I am 5"2 and 105 lbs. what size should I get?

We would suggest a bat that is 31 inch bat.

25242

Does this bat have a better pop than the Easton XL1?

Both the COMbat B4 and the Easton XL1 are composite bats with great pop. The COMbat will be a little stiffer and more balanced than the Easton XL1.

24516

My son used this bat and it sounds different than the metal bats. Is that due to the composite construction? There is a definite sound difference, almost like a wood bat, that I notice. Is that how it's supposed to sound? We were using regulation Little League baseballs.

Since the COMbat B4 is a full composite design, it will have a different sound than the traditional aluminum bat. Composite bats make more of a crack or thud type sound when hit and the aluminum bats make more of the traditional ping sound.

24439

Does this bat need to be broken in?

Since this is a composite barrel bat, it will require a break-in. We recommend you take about 100-200 swings off a tee or soft toss. Rotate the barrel about 1/4 inch every few swings. Stay away from using a composite bat in a batting cage that uses yellow dimpled balls as they can damage the composite material.

23486

Will this bat be legal in Little League past 2014?

For 2014, all little league bats will need to have the USSSA 1.15BPF stamp to be approved. This bat will not be legal past 2014.

21876

What is the lowest temp. the bat can be used in?

Since this is a composite bat, it is recommended not to use in temperatures around 50 degrees or below. A higher number of damaged composite bats is reported when they are used in temperatures such as these.

20102

What is the lowest temperature the B4 can be used in?

Since this is a composite bat, it is recommended not to use it in temperatures that are 50-55 degrees or lower. These colder temperatures can affect the balls and end up damaging the bat.

19331

Is this bat going to be legal past 2012 since it has the old USSSA logo? Rules page was a little confusing.

According to USSSA rules, 2 1/4" barrels are legal in 2012 and 2013 if they have the old USSSA mark or the new USSSA mark. In 2014 all 2 1/4" must have the new USSSA stamp.

18764

Does this Combat B4 and the Easton S1 have the USSA stamped BPF 1.15 required for youth bats in 2013?

The COMbat B4 does not have the new USSSA stamp. Instead, it has the old stamp, which is being grandfathered in for the 2012 season. The Easton S1 found here: http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-s1--yb11s1-youth/14430/ does feature the new stamp and is legal for use in 2012 and beyond.

18014

Is the COMbat B4 equal or better bat than the DeMarini CF4? Thanks

Both bats are great bats. The main difference is the design of the bat. The COMbat B4 is a one piece composite bat, which is usually preferred by most power hitters. A one piece bat will be pretty stiff and help with their hits more than a two piece, which offers some flex when the ball is hit. The DeMarini CF4 is a two piece design, so it is going to be better suited for contact, or gap hitters. With that being said, you can't really go wrong with either bat and the decision comes down to what kind of hitter you are and what kind of bat you feel more comfortable swinging.

17355

Is the B4 aproved for little league play? If so why is not updated on the little league website?

Going by Little League's "Approved Composite Bat" list, the B4 is still on there and listed as a legal bat. Check out littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm

17038

Im about 4 foot 8 and I'm about 75 pounds. What do you think would be the proper bat for my weight and height for little league play?

Thank you for your question. According to our Bat Coach feature on our website, I would recommend a 29 inch, 17oz or 16oz. The COMbat B4: B4YB1 -12 Youth is a great choice.

16265

Is it certified for league ball play?

You may want to check with your coach or league official for details. For more information on bats selection you can contact us at 1-866-321-2287.

15374

The bat doesn't have the USSSA 2012 finger print? Are the bats you're selling have the finger print? If so, I'm a buyer

We do carry a number of bats that are USSSA certified. You can check out the USSSA filter on Justbats.com for all bats we have that are certified.

15264

How do you break in this bat

We recommend you take about 100-200 swings off a tee or soft toss. Rotate the barrel about 1/4 inch every few swings. Stay away from using a composite bat in a batting cage that uses yellow dimpled balls as they can damage the composite material.

15176

Is the b4 approved for cal Ripken l

Yes this bat is allowed in Cal Ripken league because it's no longer than 33" in length, a 2 1/4" barrel and is marked BPF 1.15.

14760

Approved for Dizzy Dean 5-12? Meets 1.15 BPF but stamp doesnt specifically list Dizzy

Yes. This bat is approved.

14331

my son is 7 years old 8 in april he is 4feet 5inch 72lbs do you think the 29inch 17oz B4 would be fitting for him. His last years bat was a V grip it was 28inch i cant find the weight on it.He knocked the cover of the ball with it so i want to get a more quality bat this year.

Yes, I would recommmend moving him up to a 29" model.

14072

can you use it in little league

Yes, this bat is approved for play in Little League in 2012.

13271

is the combat b4 little league approve for 2012

Yes this bat will be approved for Little League play in 2012.

13231

my son is 4'7 79pounds what size do you recommed he is also 11 yr old. b4 or b3 for swing speed and pop?

I would recommend the B4 for swing speed. At the size and age I would look at 30" or 29"...If you are still unsure, please use our bat coach located at the top of the website

12902

is this bat ok for cal ripken?

If the player is younger than 13 years old it it is legal for Cal Ripken in 2012. The B4 does have the BPF 1.15 stamp.

12278

will this bat be outlaw in 2012 .for the baberuth or cal ripken legaue

It is legal for both.

12209

What is the best bat for someone 5 feet tall?

A lot more goes into it than just the player's height. However, if you need a youth bat for a player who is 5 feet tall, a 30 inch model would be most common with a weight between 17 and 21 ounces depending on the strength of the player.

11396

Approved for usssa in 2012

Yes, if you click on the close up pics you will see, it is stamped with the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. It is thr first stamp they came out with, but is legal.

My son will be playing Little League (46ft pitching). He is 5'1" and weighs 130. Last year he swung a 30/18 with above average bat speed. Should we get 31/19 or 30/18 this year?

With his size and above average bat speed, I'd go with the 31/19, but if he prefers to stay at a 30, you could increase the weight to a 30/19 or a 30/20.

My son is a 5'1", 123 lbs 8yr old. I want a bat that he can use for several years. He currently has a 29in/18ox B3. What do you recommend (30 or 31 in.)?

If he's 5'1" and you're looking for a bat he can use for several years, I would definitely go with a 31 inch model. Should work out well for him

My son is a power hitter with alot of bat speed. Trying to decide between 30-20 omen or 30-18 b4

The B4 is going to have better bat speed because it is lighter. It is a one piece bat, which is more designed for power hitters.

My 11 year old son will be playing with a competitive travel team this year for 11U. They will be playing in Little League, Cal Ripken League and Babe Ruth League tournaments. It is my understanding that composite bats have been outlawed with these three affiliations. I could not help but to notice the "Composite Barrel" written on the barrel. In the reviews section for this bat, several customers have said that they switched to this bat from other composites because of the new rules. Is this bat legal for these three affiliations? I do not want to spend $200 only to find out that he can not use this bat. Thanks for your help.

This bat is approved for all three leagues

What's better, a one piece barrel or double barrel and a half and half or one pice bat? Would a b4 be better or worse than a cf4st or cf5? If the cfs are better which one has more pop and less swing? I am a power hitter. Thanks

Both the B4 and CF5 are going to have good pop because they are both composite. The B4 is a little stiffer so it would be better suited for a power hitter.

Which bat is better the Combat B4 or the Easton S1? thanks.

Wow, tough call! Both are incredible bats. The B4 is a one piece all composite bat with unbelievable pop and nice balance, huge sweet spot. The Easton S1 is 2 piece fully composite with a Low MOI for faster bat speed. Huge sweet spot also.

I weigh 95 pounds, will this bat fit me well?

There are a lot more factors that go in to finding the right size bat than just your weight. Other factors include (height, strength/swing speed, and what size bat you're currently using). We would be more than happy to help you find the right bat if you give us a call at 1-866-321-2287.

What size for son 4'9" and 85 lbs. His b2 just cracked. Would you recommend grifter or b4?

I would recommend a 30" 18 oz bat. If you need just a little flex then I would recommend the Grifter. If you want a fully composite bat I would recommend the B4 which will have more flex.

7969

Which bat is better the b4 or the gear ? What is the differance?

Honestly, you would be thrilled with either one of those bats. Combat makes incredible bats with amazing pop and HUGE sweet spots.

7779

is the b4 better than the new b3, if so how much better is it?

One think I've heard based on customer feedback, is that players feel the B3 has a slightly larger sweetspot. Even though a lot of people say the B3 has a larger sweet spot, they still say that the B4 has just as much pop as the B3.

7776

If I purchase this bat as a christmas gift how long do I have to return it?

If the bat remains new and unused, there is no timeframe. If you get it now and 3 months from now decide it's not going to work out, you can return it to us for a full refund or exchange as long as it is in it's original condition.

Is this bat eligible for 2012 usssa play?

Yes. Small barrel bats like this one will not require the new USSSA stamp until 2013. This bat is still legal for 2012.

What Is The Best Bat Size For A Kid Who Weighs 150 lbs And Is 5ft 5"

It depends on what kind of bat you need (youth, senior league, or adult). Based on his height and weight, a bat around 32 or 33 inches is recommended. The weight depends on what type of bat your looking for. If you need a Youth bat, then I would recommend something around 22 or 23 ounces. If you need a Senior League bat, then I would recommend something between 24 to 28 ounces. If you need an Adult bat, then I would recommend something around 29 or 30 ounces.

what is the best size for a kid who is 5feet 2 inches and weighs about 90 pounds

Based on his height and weight, a 30 inch bat is most commonly recommended. The weight really comes down to the strength of the player and what weight they're currently using or used last season. However, based on his height and weight a bat between 18 and 20 ounces is typically recommended.
