Pros: Very balanced bat, just like the Combat B1. Amazing pop, it sounds incredible. Bought the 30/19 for my 10yr old son. Love that he could use it in cold weather. I would highly recommend this bat for anyone looking for a hybrid bat. The vibration dampening is awesome, no sting at all after hitting 100+ balls.
Cons: Wish it came in a -10
Review Summary
based on 11 ratings. 11 user reviews.
New for 2012! Introducing the classiest bat to ever hit the field, the Marucci Black. Combining a longer barrel with big league balance and a sleek design, the Black offers everything players could want in a top of the line bat. Constructed using Marucci's patented new two-piece design, the Black fuses an AZ3000 Alloy barrel with a composite handle. The composite handle on the Black is made extra stiff so that players can hit for maximum power, while Marucci's AZ3000 Alloy is ultra-responsive and provides the industry's best combination of performance and durability. The barrel on the black is made extra-long which results in a larger sweet spot and increased trampoline effect. The Black also features unprecedented big league balance, which means that players don't have to sacrifice swing speed for a bigger barrel. A reduced M.O.I. gives the bat a lighter swing weight for increased swing velocity, and ultimately more power. Marucci also brings their popular anti-vibration knob to the Black which, combined with the bat's two-piece construction, effectively eliminates negative vibration to give players maximum confidence and comfort at the plate. Marucci: Taking Baseball By Storm! The Black is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: it is the same thing as the CF5 but alot cheaper.
Cons:
by 5'sdad - Jan 07, 2012
Pros: Incredibly balanced. Been using end-loaded Demarini bats since shattering 2 Combats with no assistance from that manufacturer. So much more control that it is ridiculous. Son loves it.
Cons: Not quite as forgiving as full composite. Came with a small paint chip.
by Rockwell - Dec 09, 2011
Pros: Best bat my son has ever had . It is balanced like a real MLB bat it has major POP and the sound is like no other bat out there (sounds like the Liberty Bell ) .
Cons: Take about 400-500 contact swings to get it Blasting .
by Jrod - May 14, 2012
Pros: very good bat. lots of pop sends the ball far.
Cons: paint chips easy
by Air Ball - Dec 07, 2011
Pros: Nice Bat Beautiful finish very good pop big sweet spot we like it.
Cons: none at this time
by DR - Jan 18, 2012
Pros: Average bat at best! The composite handle adds value to the hitter swing (Speed and Acceleration).
Cons: The manfacturing team at Marucci should have made this bat "Marucci Black" in a -10. This bat is only available in the drop -11 for little league use.
by chavabt - May 18, 2012
Pros: Bat is awesome, my son has the Easton S2 which just is too light at a -13 for kids with fast hands, but don't have the power for the Easton XL series. This bat is so balanced my son actually commented that the bat seems lighted (18 oz Black vs. 16 oz S2). It took some getting used to and hit initially hit drop in base hits until it was broken in. Now the pop is insane, jumped on a fast ball accross the plate for a stand up tripled! Once broken in 200-300 hits, wow the ball jumps!
Cons: Paint chips very easy....
by Dissatisfied Dad - May 18, 2012
Pros: Quality made bat with good balance and feel. Good beginner youth bat but not for more advanced youth.
Cons: The barrel of the bat and sweetspot is much smaller than expected. Good youth bat but wouldnt reccommend for bigger kids. Too small.

We did have this model, but we have sold out of all of them. We are not expecting to receive anymore, as this line has been discontinued.

That would be determined by Marucci, since they provide the warranty replacement bats. Marucci's phone number is 1-888-627-8224.

How does this compare to the Voodoo?
Asked by Sean on Mar 20, 2012
Both are two piece bats with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The Marucci Black MYB11 has a slightly longer barrel than the Voodoo.

It looks like a bat with a 2 1/4" alloy barrel is 2012 Little League approved, does this bat meet those standards?
Asked by elaine on Feb 27, 2012
This Marucci Black MYB11 is approved for Little League in 2012

What composite and hybrid bats are good in cold weather?
Asked by snowstorm on Jan 23, 2012
Composite barrel bats are the one's you would need to worry about in cold weather. We do not recommend using a composite barrel bat in weather colder than 55 degrees.

How does the Marucci Black compare to the 2012 Anderson bat?
Asked by Rocco on Jan 04, 2012
The Anderson is a one piece alloy, the Marucci Black is a two piece bat, composite handle, alloy barrel. The MYB11 Black features anti-vibration knob which eliminates the negative sting.

Can you compare the Marucci Black versus the Cat 5?
Asked by barry on Dec 25, 2011
The Cat 5 is all alloy. The new Black is a hybrid with an alloy barrel and composite handle. Both will perform great and display similar pop. From my experience and feedback we've gotten from customers, the Black has a little less vibration than the Cat 5.
· Dec 27, 2011
This bat from the photo's looks like it has a long handle and short barrel length..Can you measure the barrel length compared to a Demarini Vodoo. Thanks!
Asked by Coach Frank on Dec 14, 2011
The barrel of the Marucci is longer than it appears in the pictures. The barrel length of the Voodoo is almost the same.
· Dec 14, 2011
Do you still have to worry about using in colder weather due to the composite handle?
Asked by Brian on Dec 11, 2011
The MYB11 has an alloy barrel and colder temperatures will not be an issue with this bat.
· Dec 11, 2011
Which bat is better overall, the Marucci Black or the Demarini Voodoo?
Asked by jswartz on Nov 24, 2011
The basic design is actually very similar. Both are 2 piece hybrids. Composite handle/alloy barrel. You would be happy with either.
· Nov 25, 2011
I dont see the Black listed on the Little League approved bat list is there a chance they wont approve it?
Asked by Tanner on Nov 23, 2011
This bat has an alloy barrel making it legal for Little League. Not all legal bats will be listed on the approved list. Please check with your league official for more details.

Which bat has more pop and a bigger sweet spot: Marucci Black youth or the Easton Power Brigade XL1 youth?
Asked by ShufflinHomeRunHitter on Nov 21, 2011
Both of these bats are good choices. They each have great pop and large sweet spots. The most balanced of the two will be the Black MYB11. The XL1 will have a slight end load feel. You can't go wrong with either one.
· Nov 21, 2011
Would it be better to invest in a composite barrell instead of alloy? Which will have more pop? My son wants this bat after he was using CF4 last year.
Asked by Deibs on Nov 21, 2011
The Marucci barrel is alloy which offers a more immediate pop. The composite just takes a bit to break in. Composite barrel bats have a light feel and become hotter with more usage.
· Nov 21, 2011
Which bat is more durable: Marucci Black youth or Easton Power Brigade XL1 youth?
Asked by Slugging on Nov 21, 2011
These are two different kinds of bats, so they are not easy to compare. The Marucci Black is a two piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The XL1 is an all composite end loaded bat. Alloy bats tend to have more durability than composite bats.
