Nice Doug smith coach

Best intermediate bat Leo N. coach
Pros: Got a replacement for the Sluggers' 30in, since it was a tad too long for some of the players. Can't say anything poor about it. Breaking in time: less than 800 hard impacts. Some suggested rolling, but I was against it. It was broken in within a few practice sessions. Now, the balls pop right off the bat. Side-by-side comparison to the Sluggers' Catalyst and the Easton's Mako by our players, this bat beats both in the break-in amount, and on par with the Mako. Durability: on par with best bats. Our players have power hitters that fell in love with the bat. They dropped the Mako and Catalysts, and went for this instead. No matter the amount of pounding and tossing around, this bat barely have any scratch on it. No dent to speak of as of yet. It already has over 3500 hits on it. Vibration: whether or not we're used to the heavy vibration from aluminum, the players could tell the great different between the aluminum, hybrids, and composites.
Cons: Vibration: although the vibration is greatly dampened, rookies still don't like the stinging sensation from a heavy batting session. Of course, they complained about pretty much everything. We changed to the Buzz Off grip, and no more complaint. Grip: Some complained about being slippery when using bare hands after 5 minutes, some said it had an odd sticky feeling. We changed to Buzz Off grip, and you guess it, no more complaint.
Combat Mr. Baeball parent
Pros: Nicely balanced. Ball launches off it with a great sound. No hand buzz. Builds confidence.
Cons: Finish isn't terribly durable. A week old and already getting scratches.
Perfect small barrell Brad parent
Pros: great balance and plenty of pop
Cons: none
combat g4 Tony Kessler coach
Pros: Just received this bat in the mail, so my ratings are neutral, however, I was very impressed when I got this bat out of the box. My first reaction was to read the bat and make sure the word baseball was on it, and didn't order a softball bat, I could tell it had a longer barrel by the pics, but was more surprised at it's length once I opened it. Immediately hit the cages with my son this evening, got about 100 hits on it, seemed to have pretty good pop and speed off of it, time will tell, once broke in and in an open field.
Cons:
great feel albert parent
Pros: great bat, my son(10 years old) loves the feel of the bat. he was 20 feet short of his his first grandslam (homerun) last week. he didn't complain about any vibration at all during the game. he doesn't want to use it during batting practice at the cages because he likes to use his wood bat for that and he doesnt want to "mess up" his combat bat.
Cons: none
Can't Beat It for the $$$ Coach Cap coach
Pros: Just picked this bat up after researching why it was so cheap. It looks like Combat is done as a company but not because the bats are bad. My son is 12 and is 5'5" 140lbs. Big strong boy and his swing is on the long side and he has struggled with the end loaded bats over the last couple of seasons. he's a contact hitter and loves the even weight distribution of the Combat. His biggest comment to me was that it feels lighter than the 31" 19oz" DeMarini that he's used to swinging. This weekend we put the bat through it's paces and over a two day period broke it in with about 400 soft toss hits into a screen. Yesterday I pitched to him as I would like a normal BP session and he was driving everything into right field on a rope(lefty) and hit the fence on the hop a few times with garbage balls really. This is a great bat for contact line drive hitters. I probably should buy a spare as the company is no longer around and I read that Easton bought the rights and will charge big $.
Cons: If it breaks I'm not sure what the warranty will be like seeing the company doesn't exist but at $50 it's not a break the bank investment. The jury is still out on how my power hitters hit with this. My son is a contact hitter that sprays line drives and he loves it so far.

I just purchased this bat for my son. Why was this bat discontinued? Ben
Would you confirm that the balance of this drop 10 bat is comparable to the balance of the drop 12? Or is this bat more end loaded? Rod
What is the drop 12 or drop 10? What does this measure? zach
My son is 9 1/2 years old, average build, and plays Little League as well as travel ball. He is swinging an Easton S500C which is 29" and -12. I am looking ahead to next year and considering the -10 Combat Portent in a 30" length. Is that an appropriate length and drop for an average sized 10 year old with a strong swing? How would this bat compare in performance to the S500C and the Combat Maxum? Is the Portent true to the advertised weight like the Combat Maxum? Badger#5
What is the best way to break-in this Combat? Cassie
Narrowed down our selection to the "COMBAT" brand for my 8 yr old Pinto level son. You have MAXUM or Portent models available with the MAXUM being nearly double the price of a comparable Portent. What are the main differences between the two models? What would we be getting if we decided to go with the more pricey MAXUM line of bats? Trying to decide if it's worth it. Orlo
I have a 6 year old son that is playing in all-stars he is currently using a 27" 15 oz alumn. bat made by Easton. A few of his teammates have composite bats and he has used them a few times and has hit great with them. I just purchased a this bat in a 27" 17 oz do you think that is a great buy. Smitty
My son is moving up to 9-10s in Little League. How can I determine if the bat will still meet the specifications when the new bat rules go into effect? Jas
My son cannot use a bat that has the BESR label on it. Does this bat have that certification? Dad
I have narrowed it down to the Portent G4 and the Louisville Slugger Prime 916 drop -12 for my son. He is 12 around 5'1" and near 90 lbs. He is more of a contact hitter. Which bat do you suggest? Mom
What's the difference between the G3 and G4? zdeason
I just purchased this bat and am wondering if there is a break-in period with it. Toby VanWormer
My son turns 8 this month, weighs 57 pounds and is 50" tall. What size bat do you recommend? I'd like something he can use for 2 seasons as he continues to grow and am leaning towards 29" I would appreciate any advice you can offer. batman
Is this bat considered a big barrel? Cindy
Can this bat be used in Cal Ripken tournaments? Casey Lear
So did you mention that this bat will not be acceptable in Little League next year (2018)? My son will be 10 in a couple of months, so 11 in 2018. Karen
Would this bat be considered a power hitting bat or a contact hitting bat? wes
