Description
COMBAT B2 Ultra -8 USSSA Baseball Bat: SLPAB28
This B2 Ultra is designed to fly under the radar until the moment of contact with a baseball. And once that has happened, it'll be too late for the defense...a baseball will have been dispatched beyond the fence!
Bat Benefits
With this B2 Ultra, COMBAT is delivering a bat design that has become a unicorn within the baseball bat market over the past few years. This B2 is built with a one-piece and all-composite design.
The composite material will make the bat feel lightweight and the one-piece design will provide a very stiff feel when the bat connects with a baseball. Over the past couple of seasons, it has been discovered that batters truly appreciate a stiffer-feeling bat when hitting (i.e. bats that flex less between the barrel and handle) as it appears that all of the power from their swing is put into the exit velocity of the baseball.
If you have a player who has outgrown their lightweight bat and is ready for something with a bit more substance to it, then definitely consider purchasing this B2 in the drop 8 size. We have found that advanced hitters at 11-and-12-years-old can usually wield a drop 8 pretty well. And oftentimes, a drop 8 is the perfect bat suggestion for a 13-year-old player. Be sure and note that within 13U division of USSSA Baseball, at least a drop 8 bat is required for use (the only other bats allowed are drop 5 USSSA bats and drop 3 BBCOR bats).
Warranty
There is no need to worry about being left out in the cold if you purchase this COMBAT B2 Ultra and experience a durability issue. COMBAT extends a full twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty period on the bat. If you have purchased this bat from us and notice an issue on it within one year from the purchase date, please notify our Bat Experts. They will get you the information needed so that you can get a warranty replacement bat.

Fire stick Coach C Coach
Pros: Balanced, big sweet spot, hot out the wrapper. This bat is as hot as any of the top bats out. Son now prefers it over his glitch
Cons: Nothing we can complain about
?? out of the wrapper Chris Coach
Pros: Quick break in, big sweet spot, lightweight/balanced, and a nice colorway
Cons: Nothing so fer
Happy kid Sam wilson Player
Pros: Good pop Feels juiced Great design Feels like using a rare bat
Cons: Nothing so far
Best Bat Nobody Knows About Jason G Parent
Pros: Bat is extremely hot right out of the wrapper. This bat outperforms my sons ZOA (avg 1-2 mph exit velo is higher with B2). I don't understand how people have not jumped on the bandwagon of the Combat B2.
Cons: Stock grip is not the best, but can be easily replaced.
combat john Player
Pros: 1.decent amount of pop 2.sound is 10+
Cons: 1.stings your hands very badly no matter where you hit the ball 2.the bat is way to light to be a drop 8 almost feels like a drop 12
Switched from his CF Jason Parent
Pros: My 11U son loves it so far, lots of pop right out of the wrapper. His CF (white/orange … same size 30/22) hasn’t left his bag since he got this bat.
Cons: Nothing so far
Best Bat Around Terry Hejduk Coach
Pros: This is the 3rd year in a row my son has used a Combat B2. He is 11 and switched to this drop 8 this season. He is a big kid (5'5" 125lb). He has hit absolute bombs all year. We have finally got another player to switch and purchase a drop 10 and now almost everyone uses either one of the bats all the time. This is a can miss and must have bat!
Cons: It will sting your hands if you hit it off the end. I call it positive feed back, lol! This year the end cap came off with about two weeks left into the season. We have glued it back on about 4 time to finish the year!
Great Bat for the Price Tony Parent
Pros: Very light swinging for a drop 8. It is hot out of the wrapper. My son has the Glitch and the pop is similar but the Combat swings much lighter. You cannot be beat the price--it is comparable to $350-$400 bats.
Cons: Some vibration on mishits.
unexpectedly good GC Parent
Pros: my kid is on the small side. 4'11, 76 lbs and a very young 13u. Moving to -8 (required) was a minor concern. Bought this bat on a whim as something to use during fall ball, as a hold over until we decide if we were going to go CatX or Zoa again. He's got both in -10, but it turns out he hits this better than either of them! took him about 5 swings get over the fact that it wasn't a "household name" bat, and the grin on his face said it all. Loves the stiff/balanced one-piece feel, huge barrel, great sweet spot, and has pop for days. Coaches love seeing the Combat name again, it's always a conversation starter and he loves having a bat that is a little mysterious. Looks awesome. Swings awesome. Price is awesome. The backstory on the B2 Ultra is awesome. Like the other guy said, it's the best bat that nobody knows about.
Cons: it's a one piece, it's rung his hands up a couple times, but not unbearable. Normally changes everything to Vuk grip immediately, but they're pretty thin material. We opted to keep the padded grip that came stock on this one, to help with the vibration.
Don’t be scared. JD Parent
Pros: Super balanced bat with a massive sweet spot and tons of pop.
Cons: A little vibration on mishits, but it’s a single-piece bat. If your kid is scared of a little vibration then buy him a two-piece bat instead, and consider changing sports.
Great one piece composite for a contact hitter Schven Parent
Pros: Very balanced and lightweight for a -8 bat. My son swears it feels as light as a -10. Great pop and very quick break in. So far durability seems solid after three months. Awesome sound when you barrel it up. Sounds almost like a wood bat.
Cons: Only a partial con I can see is that if you mishit a ball it will ring up your hands a little bit. Probably a good thing to let your child know that they didn’t hit it anywhere near the sweet spot.
HUGE SLEEPER Chad Coach
Pros: -so I’ll be the first to tell you “you get what you pay for” i bought this bat for my son for his birthday off of a recommendation from a very trusted friend that this bat was one of if not the hottest bat on the market. Boy did he nail that one. GUYS YOU HABE TO GET A -8 of one of these they are incredibly ?? out of the wrapper it’s hot. I can only imagine when it’s broken in what it will look like. The bat jumps equal if not more than the big market names. Very pleased and would buy again. My son absolutely loves this bat -massive barrel -color scheme is sick -Balanced feel -son went from 29/19 to 31/23 with no issues lighter swing weight for sure with but thump. -grip is really nice would not need to be replaced with better this is good grip. -THE SOUND!! it’s loud distinct sound when you barrel it up you know it. Like music to the ears. -price!
Cons: None so far will buy another to have when this one goes before they run out.
Great bat for the price Bryan Parent
Pros: Well balanced, durable, good pop
Cons: The grip could be better, but besides that nothing else so far.
Awesome Bat! Kevin Wilkins Parent
Pros: Great results with this bat for my son, 12u baseball.
Cons: None
Great bat! Ron Parent
Pros: My son's 13u travel ball team was told that we can only use 1pc -8 bats in the tournaments we'd be playing. I wanted to get a 1pc -8 composite bat and found the Combat B2 Ultra. I read all the great reviews and even called JustBats for their feedback as well. My son has had 2 batting practices with the Combat and absolutely loves the bat. Ton of pop right out of the wrapper and still breaking in. This bat will only get better as we get more swings with it. I would highly recommend this bat and for the price, you absolutely can't beat it.
Cons: My son got his hands rung up a few times, but to be expected for a 1pc bat.
Best bat my son have had Raul G. Parent
Pros: Cheap, hot of the wrap, big sweet spot, no vibration, great pop, we purchased a second one for backup, can't beat the price.
Cons: No cons.
This bat is HOT!!!!! ?? Steve Arey Parent
Pros: Ton of pop . Great sweat spot . Looks bad a$$ . Easy to swing Fairly hot out of the wrapper. Easy to break in. My son has a marucci cat x composite he rather swing the Combat Drop 8 now. Better Performance and bat control.
Cons: Does occasionally ring your hands. When jammed. Very minimal.
Insane pop Josh Coach
Pros: Ball flys off this bat, bought it for my 11yr old and he loves it more than his CF. We got the 31/23.
Cons: Nothing yet
Great Value Coach H Coach
Pros: Great Looking Bat Light Swinging Great pop
Cons: Bright Red/Orange Handle looks silly sticking up out of a bat bag. Barrel color scheme, however, looks nice.
Awesome -8 for my 12U player Kevin Wilkins Parent
Pros: Super durable and great price. Huge sweet spot that makes that awesome composite smash sound when you barrel one. My son has used the drop 8 through 12U. Because the price is so good, we buy one to practice with and another for games. I just did the same thing with a couple of drop 5's for next year coming up, 13u.
Cons: I don't really have a con. If I'm super critical, it does appear that kids may be getting a little more pop out of their $400 plus hybrids, but I'm good with a couple of these for the price of 1 of those and keeping 1 as a game bat only. I've always liked Combat's products.
Great value! Awesome bat! Matt Parent
Pros: Lots of pop. My son hit two home runs the first game he used it! He also likes how the graphics are understated and unassuming.
Cons: The grip that came with the bed was pretty thin and cheap looking. That is an easy fix. The new grip also helped with the minor vibration.
its great caleb Player
Pros: its balanced it has great pop on the sweet spot which is ginormous it's like the balanced version of its bbcor which is really good.
Cons: maybe if you don't like vibration, it hurts a little of the end or jammed really hard but that's all.
Dan Parent
Pros: This has to be one of the most underrated drop 8 bats out there. For a fraction of the cost you get a full composite bat that easily competes with the $400 ones. My 12u kid was hitting balls out of their laces with this thing. The other kids on his travel ball team took notice and starting borrowing his bat. Grip is no good so opt for getting the Lizard Skin wrap. Drop 5 was a bummer too, but the drop 8 was (and still is) awesome! Can't go wrong with this one.
Cons: none!
11u Son loves this bat William Brown Parent
Pros: The ball seems to really pop off this bat.
Cons: Other kids on the team want to use it after seeing his success.
Good pop fell apart after 3 weeks Brad Falkner Parent
Pros: Has great pop
Cons: No durability the end of the bat popped of just after 3 weeks
First Select Ball Season Victor Parent
Pros: Have had this bat for almost a week now and my son loves it! He’s playing 13u select ball and in his first at bat he hit a 3 run homer to right field! Got it used for a steal of 65 bucks!
Cons: None yet, so far so good!
Quality bat at a great price. HUGE barrel. Billy Coach
Pros: Huge barrel and great balanced swing weight. Moved my 11u / 80 lbs. son up from from a 30” drop 10 CatX to this 31 drop 8. The barrel looks so much bigger and longer than the CatX and at 1/3 of the cost. We’ve hit about 50 balls off the tee and just went and hit a bucket at the fields. He was hitting the ball square and hard - really putting the barrel on the ball. Doesn’t sting his hands on miss hits.
Cons: Doesn’t seem as juiced as the ZOA or Cat X but we haven’t really put that many hits on it yet. I think when it’s fully broken in it will be just as hot. Can’t speak to durability yet
Get urself one lefty luke Player
Pros: big sweet spot ..super balanced hits like a meta.. i would buy 3 for the price of one Dingers
Cons: i only wish is came in 2 5/8..
Christmas gift Frank Parent
Pros: Can’t really review much yet. I can say that out of the box it looks good. This will be my 2nd Combat I’ve purchased, the first was a softball bat bought several years ago, 27.5 oz which can be hard to find. If this bat is anything like that, my son will love it
Cons: N/A
The best bat you’ve never heard of! Bryce Parent
Pros: I wanted to get my 11u son a drop 8 to train with during winter to develop a stronger swing for next season. We purchased this bat on a whim after reading all the positive review…and I am so glad we did! It has quickly become his primary bat (replacing his Easton Hype Comp) as he loves the balanced feel. The bigger surprise is the power he has been able to generate. His rapsodo metrics have all jumped up 3 weeks in a row. His teammates who mostly swing Cat X can’t believe how hard he has been hitting and have all asked to try his bat in the cages. My son swears that it feels like a drop 10 even though it weighs 22.4oz (30/22) up from his Hypes 19.4 (30/20)
Cons: So far, none.
Seems Hot, But Man it Hurts Jared Sutton Parent
Pros: Seems to have lots of pop. Great weight and feel in the hands.
Cons: Non-tapered handle Smaller sweet spot Massive Sting when missing
Amazing Landon Player
Pros: This bat was amazing for me during my 12u season and after switching bats I realized how much I missed it. I swing a hype fire and it’s great but the combat is more durable with less pop but it still has enough pop to hit 340+ ft bombs.
Cons: Nothing to complain about
