Not worth 400.00 Bill parent
Pros: Large sweet spot, comparable pop to Easton XL1, and DeMarini CF6/7. Combat has always been decent with their returns but I have had too many issues with their bats. My son owned a Combat B4 which cracked after 6 months. Combat replaced it with a new Combat Portent since they discontinued the B4. After 4 months the know came off the Portent. Since ithat was the replacement bat, we were done. Thought I would give Combat another try and am beyond frustrated at this point. All of our bats are kept indoors and never used on batting cage balls and these bats keep breaking within a year. If your gonna sell a bat for 400.00 it better last more then two weeks. Please read below.
Cons: Our travel team bought three of the Maxum Bats, two at drop 5 and one at drop 8 three weeks ago. After two weeks, the drop 8's end cap came out of the end of the bat-TWICE. Yes our player hit some off of the end of the bat but end caps shouldn't fly out of bats especially when you advertise a ground breaking design with a 500 day warranty. Not what you want after spending 400.00. My sons drop 5 also appears to be cracked after he got jammed and hit one towards the handle and he has had the bat for only two weeks also. So 21 days into the 500 day warranty and I am already on my one replacement replacement bat which of course will be stamped with "no warranty".
Great bat Jake player
Pros: The sweet spot is huge!! I used to have a Easton Mako and I was looking for something that had a little bit of a bigger sweet spot and i found it. When the ball touches the bat it just jumps off like a trampoline.
Cons: Very Expensive
combat maxum tri-state player
Pros: great bat ! great for both power and contact hitters ... i have hit several balls over 310 feet and im only 5'5 120 lbs. this bat is great!! and also i recomend this website to many others because of great customer service and any questions you need to ask you can just ask and they will respond in a matter of minutes !!
Cons: cracks a little easier than other bats
This bat is JUNK Ramiro Trevino parent
Pros: Looks great
Cons: My son who is 12 and plays travel ball broke this bat TWICE! And it almost hit the pitcher one of the times that it broke during our State Tourney. The first time I had to FIGHT to get a new bat and the second time I had to DOUBLE FIGHT to get a second bat. I wanted my money back but they wouldn't do it so I took the new bat and threw it in the garage. I also have 2 Mako's, LS, 3 - DeMarini bats and have had no issues. This Combat is way too expensive to be breaking...and the last new one I received has a sticker on it that says NO WARRANTY.....seriously????
Maxum -5 Adam parent
Pros: My son plays 14U. This bat has a large sweet spot, swings balanced and fast, and has a lot of pop. The ball comes off of the bat like a trampoline. First swing out of the wrapper was a opposite field 320' double.
Cons: Unsure of durability. Have read that may be an issue, but so far so good.
Do Not Spend Your Money P_Bizzy parent
Pros: None
Cons: We originally bought a 2014 Combat Portent (Which was the 1st Combat bat that we ever owned) it cracked after two months. I contacted Combat customer service, who was helpful, had me pay to ship the broken bat in. They in return ship me a brand new Combat Maxum, needless to say we were excited about this, brand new top of line bat and all...... Too bad it didn't last long. This bat was a dud! The bat had a rattle out of the box, no pop and it stung my sons hands so often and so bad that after a few weeks he refused to use it. Combat allowed me to ship this one back also even though it did have a "No Warranty" etched into the bat and then they sent me another Combat Maxum. After a couple hundred hits on the tee and softtoss my son used it in a game (not cold but 85 degrees) and the very first at bat it cracked, no joking it cracked again! My experience has been poor and I seldom write reviews but I felt obligated to share my experience with other customers.
Bat Return Mayt coach
Pros: all of the combat bats have AMAZING pop. 8 of the kids on my sons elite travel team have this bat. my son has cracked his bat 3 times, and two teamates over the past year and a half...but combat has had new bats shipped in less than a week. no one has had a priblem getting them to replace any bats, including the replacement bats. if you are interested in getting the best results...it is worth it!
Cons: crack a little easy, but the results are worth the effort that goes into returning
Durability Issues Justin player
Pros: Great if you like a balanced bat. Big sweet spot.
Cons: Horrible durability. We have tried three Maxum vats and the longest they have last before going dead is about 7 weeks. 500 day warantee does matter if you can only get one trade in when it breaks (and it will).
Combat Maxum 33/28 -5 model MAXSL105 Braves8 player
Pros: Looks amazing, Huge barrel, Great pop. Feels great to swing.
Cons: Poor durability. lasted 31 days and a chip of paint came off by end of barrel by cap. about 1/2 inch by 1/3 of inch. Awaiting to hear from Combat to return.
this is a dinger bat! Aaron player
Pros: this bat has a ton of pop! it has a massive barrel and the biggest sweet spot i've ever seen. Buy this bat!
Cons: cracks easier than other bats
Great bat overall Aaron Steinfeldt player
Pros: This bat has a Massive barrel and a big sweet spot. This bat is good for all type of hitters. Even Power Hitters like myself.
Cons: This bat chips easily and cracks easier. I just keep it indoors from avoidance from cracking.
2016 COMBAT MAXUM -5 Senior League Baseball Bat Matt Young parent
Pros: Very good bat. Son his hitting well with it and loves it. Bat has very good pop.
Cons: Right now none. I have read some review which concerned me that the bat was not durable. However, we took the time to break the bat in and seems to be holding up fine right now. Other kids on team are using the bat.
