COMbat Grifter: GRIFYB1 -12 Youth

Pros: great pop! one of the best bats made by combat and legal for little league. the bat also has great feel and durablity.

Cons: none

Pros: So far this bat has been excellent. My son hit with it today after 3 months away from baseball. He hit 7 long homeruns with it in approximately 60 swings. It is comperable to his cf4 from last year. I am not ready to declare it a "better" bat, but it is similar in pop. He did say he felt very little vibration from the bat even with bats hit at the end of the bat or on the handle. Overall great bat.

Cons: None.

Pros: Great feel like a composite bat and great action off the bat

Cons: None..It's a combat

Pros: I'm not a power hitter and everytime i hit with this bat the ball flys i'm 10 and on a allstar team and when i hit the ball it feels like rubber

Cons: theres no way theres going to be one

Pros: My son has been close to home run with his B3, but has not yet have one over the fence. About 5th swing in batting practice with Grifter was over fence.Then my son hit his 1st ever home run in 1st at bat with this bat.Went 4 for 4. His team mate used the bat and had 2 home runs and 1 being a grandslam. This bat is way better than the B3 which we have too. Ball flies off bat.

Cons: Absolutely none. Anybody that negatively reviews this bat needs to look elsewhere not at the bat for faults.

Pros: Great pop better than B3 gear... nice paint job...

Cons: None

Pros: Awesome bat! I just got it and my son used it in first team practice yesterday. He hit 4 bombs on his first 10 swings and was crushing everything. The bat has great balance and pop. He likes it even more than his B1 and B3. Can't wait for the season to start! Buy this bat!

Cons: Now all his teamates want to us it!

Pros: Had to purchase a new bat for Little League this year. He had been using a Miken Freak the last two years. This is his first ComBat and he loves it,ton of pop right out of the box. Very balanced and huge sweet spot. We will be buying another ComBat next year!

Cons:

Pros: My son loves it. He has the b2 and the b3 gear both -12. It has as much pop if not more as the either of those. Just in time for little league. He is excited and confident.

Cons:

Pros: Who needs composite??? This bat is every bit as hot as the B3 Gear or B1, it is amazing. This will become the new standard!

Cons:

Pros: Great bat! A lot of pop. As my son would say "this bat is beast" This bat is as hot as his old B3.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Lots of Pop Very Little vibration or sting

Cons: None

Pros: Bat has a lot of pop as other people have billed it. The bat seems to be well balanced and easy to swing. Does not whip like other end loaded bats. Son has hit four homeruns in six games. Compares it to his form Demarini CF3 Pitch Black that he shattered

Cons: Significant vibration if you hit the ball off the metal rings between the handle and the bat head or if you hit the ball off the end of the bat. Otherwise the product is as discussed by others

Pros: I bought this bat for my son (Age 9) 3 games into the season. There were no overnight miracles since he was still getting into his groove. Yesterday we had our 2nd playoff game and he hit two (2) homers, the first of the season in his division. Yes 2 homers in one game! Of course all of the kids are wanting this bat, and the other team was making sure it was legal, which it is (in our league). I highly recommend this bat.

Cons: None

Pros: This bat is amazing! I am not a homerun hitter, but this bat is good for contact and linedrive hitters. Massive sweet spot. I would take it over any B4 or Omen

Cons: It makes everyone else's bat look bad.

Pros: this bat has excellent pop hit 7 homeruns fells like 1 piece bat it awsome!!!!

Cons: white hand gets dirty but other than that its great

Pros: We purchased the -10 drop bat 30" 20 oz bat. My son is 4'8" about 105 pounds. The bat is very balanced and not end weighted like the CF4. The -10 drop bat has a long barrel 2" longer than this one. He hit an inside pitch yesterday 210 feet. The bat has lots of pop straight out of the box. He has used the Easton Omen in a 30" 18 oz. Weight, and likes this bat. Both bats feel very balanced.

Cons:

Pros: great bat hit 2 homers with this in our last tourment its amazing great pop you need to get this bat

Cons: takes a while to break in

Pros: my son likes the grip and the look. prefers to use it over his techzilla. hits good line drives with it

Cons: I don't think it has the pop of some other bats. i think the 3 year old techzilla is better and alot of kids are swinging the new eastons and they seem to be getting a lot more pop as well. We've had many Combats and they always rock, can't say this one does

Pros: Lots of pop Great Balance It's a Combat Little League Approved

Cons: Alloy

Pros: My 12 year old son loves this bat. Above average pop. He used it 2 months and tonight in practice it broke in half just above the grip. Not even on the transition. It broke just at the top of the grip. Will get another just because of the warranty, but am a little nervous with the All-Star tournament approaching.

Cons: Broke above the handle.

Pros: The Grifter has decent pop for an alloy. We were able to use it in colder weather earlier in the season. Little League approved.

Cons: My son switches between a B1 and the Grifter (same size) in batting practice and the B1 has at least 30-40 extra feet. No comparison.

Pros: The bat is well balanced

Cons: called combat and was looking for a 27" 15 oz and was told they didn't offer that size anymore. They said the bat kept breaking. After talking for a minute they said they did have them. They said they must have figured it out. Bought one with hesitation, and should have stuck with my instinct. You have to hit the ball right on the "B" or the ball goes no where. Not to mention two kids on the team dropped the bat after a swing due to the vibration. I do not recommend this bat in this size and weight. Switched over to the Easton S1 and it is performing much better. Stick with making one piece bats COMBAT

Pros: Its a nice looking bat but the pop is not there every body on my sons team used it and were grounding out and not getting solid hits

Cons: I bought the bat on may 1st and a month later it broke in the middle and it chipped right away and not good pop at all my power hitters that hit home runs and doubles were hitting ground balls back to the pitcher and soft little hits. Once i get the replacement im selling this bat

Pros: It's a nice looking bat with a great feel when batting. The bat (30 / 18) is also well balanced. Decent pop but not too impressed. Would recommend a different Combat like the B1, or the B2, which you can't use in Little League.

Cons: Too much hype about this bat & not much of a pop. Not worth $199. Kids on the team tried it & stuck with the Easton. My son switched to the Easton Speed XL & liked it a lot better, better pops. The sweet spot on the Easton is much bigger than the Grifter. Sorry Combat, not a fan of the Grifter. Too much hype about this bat and not too much pop to it. Other kids tried it and skipped

Pros: This bat has tons of Pop! Looks Awsome too! My son hit one off the fence first time, then a line shot the second. He is not even a power hitter.He has a 30/20 Way better than CF4!

Cons: White Grip
