Description
In a price range typically littered with only alloy options, COMBAT has created a one of a kind bat. The COMBAT VIGOR is the only baseball bat that offers a 100% composite, one-piece, single wall barrel construction. This design gives the VIGOR an exceptional advantage over the competition. Not only does this result in a longer, extended barrel but it provides explosive power, a lighter swing weight, and essential feedback. Furthermore, the unique single wall barrel produces an extraordinary trampoline effect for maximum pop and a superior feel. Much like that of the popular MAXUM models, the VIGOR uses COMBAT's Precision Molded Seamless Construction Technology which results in a hardened, ultra-consistent molded bat every time making it perfectly tuned for optimal performance. Additionally, no seams means no dead spots for a dependable performance during every at bat. Plus, as an added bonus, each VIGOR comes wrapped with an ultra-premium Lizard Skins grip for supreme comfort and reduced vibration.
This COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 features a -5 length to weight ratio, a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter, and the USSSA 1.15 BPF Certification.

How would this bat compare to the 2014 Combat Portent? Granted, the Portent we have is a -10, but our son is larger, stronger, and older, and we want something that will be a nice step up while sticking with the same brand if possible. Kevin
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) would be a good step up from your -10 ComBat Portant that your son has been using. These two bats are extremely similar in their design and feel. Both are one-piece composite designs with balanced swing weights. The differences are extremely minimal. It will offer a very similar feel to your Portant.

What is the difference between this bat and the MAXUM? Coach C
The main difference between the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) and the 2017 COMBAT MAXUM -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL7MX105) is going to be the Vigor has a shorter barrel. Other than that the bats are pretty much the exact same.
Carter
I am 13 years old and I have a MAKO XL (-8). Do you think this bat is similar to my MAKO XL? mason
This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) will be a little different than what you are used to swinging with the MAKO XL. Your MAKO XL is a two-piece, all-composite bat with an end-loaded swing weight. This Vigor will differ as it has a one-piece, all-composite design and will not be end-loaded like the MAKO XL (however, some players do say the Vigor features a very slight end-load). Overall, this Vigor will feature composite material like the MAKO XL, but the feel of the two bats will be different when making contact with the ball as the Vigor is more balanced and a one-piece bat while the MAKO XL is more end-loaded and a two-piece bat.
Ben
Does this bat have option for lizard skin grip? Baseball Dad
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 features Lizard Skin grip tape.
Jason
My son is 13 and is swinging the CAT 7 (-8), but I'm looking for something heavier to prep him for BBCOR next year. Why is this bat and the 2016 Vigor (-5) both discounted by $100 or more? unclem77
This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) (along with all other COMBAT bats) is being sold at a heavily discounted price because COMBAT recently went out of business. COMBAT's owner company filed for bankruptcy and unfortunately COMBAT did not have a buyer that offered to purchase them and keep the company running (going out of business did not reflect poor product quality on COMBAT). We bought a large portion of COMBAT's inventory for pretty low costs and because of that, we are able to sell most of their bats at really low prices. As well, we will handle the warranty period on all the COMBAT's purchased from us.
Ben
What's the main difference between the VIGOR and MAXUM? Wrenchman
The main difference between the VIGOR and the MAXUM is the barrel length and how well the two bats are balanced. The COMBAT MAXUM will be the most balanced bat that COMBAT manufactures as well as featuring the longest barrel.
Cameron
My son is needing a -5 bat. I would like to know how this one compares to the other top brands? JP
This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) will be a one-piece, all-composite bat. Which will make it a little different from any other -5 bats that we carry here at JustBats (we have no other one-piece, all-composite bats with a -5 length-to-weight ratio). I would say that the one-piece, all-alloy design and the two-piece, all-composite design will be more popular. We haven't received any reviews yet on this bat, but I think that you guys would be pretty happy with the performance overall if you were to get this bat.
Ben
My son has been using the Louisville 716 - 10 and now has to convert to a - 5 bat. 5 ounces sounds like a lot to increase at one time to me! Is it a significant change in the bat weight? baseball dad 12
Moving from a -10 to a -5 bat such as the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 can be quite a jump in weight. Ideally, a player would transition from a -10, to a -8, to a -5, and finally a -3 once he enters high school.
Logan
What is the difference between the Combat Vigor and the Portent? Noah
This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) and the Portent would be one-piece, all-composite bats. However, we have heard some individuals claim that the Vigor bat felt slightly more end-loaded than the Portent bats.
Ben
I'm 6 ft and 165 lbs, I've been swinging a drop 5 CAT 5 but it's "dead". I need a drop 5 to finish off the year. I am a power hitter. Do you recommend this bat, and if so what size? Cade
Yes, the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 is a great option for you. Based on your height and weight I advise going with a 33" 28 oz size.
Sean
Does this bat need to be broken in? josh
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 would benefit from being broken in before facing live pitching since it is made of composite material.
Logan
Is this bat BBCOR rated? Tim
This bat features a -5 length-to-weight ratio and the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp on it. Because of that, it will not be a BBCOR bat. All BBCOR bats are required to have a -3 length-to-weight ratio and the BBCOR .50 stamp.
Ben
I'm 5'4 to 5'5 and weight 118 lbs. What size would be best for me? chris cross
Based on your height and weight, I would suggest a 31" 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105.
Logan
Is this bat BBCOR? Erick
No, unfortunately the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 is not BBCOR certified. It has a -5 length to weight ratio and features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp.
Jason
Is the bat stamped USA baseball? I know its not BBCOR. League mandates it be stamped for legal use. marty
This bat is stamped for USSSA certification if that is what you mean. If you mean the USABaseball standard for next year, then no it does not have that certification.
Kyle J.
Do you think the USSSA certification would be in lieu of USA baseball stamp for this year? marty
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 will only be allowed in USSSA sanctioned games in 2018 as the new bat stamp will be the USABat standard. These bats will feature thicker barrel walls thus decreasing the exit velocity of the bats. The current youth bats on the market that feature the USSSA stamp will perform better and thus not allowed beginning in 2018 outside of USSSA sanctioned games.
Cameron
Can this bat be used in intermediate 50/70 this year? bb
The Intermediate Division 50/70 Division in Little League requires composite bats to be BBCOR so the 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) is not going to be legal.
Carter
Does this bat have to be broken in? What are the major differences between this bad and the Combat Maxum -5 SL7mx105? I see there's about an $80 difference in price between the two. andy
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 would benefit from a break in period, since it is composite. We recommend 150-200 swings off a tee, rotating the barrel 1/4 turn between swings to get an even break in before facing live pitching. The Combat Maxum is Combat's top-of-the-line model. It features a larger sweet spot, and is a bit more balanced than the Vigor.
Logan
What is the difference between the combat VG2SL105 and the combat VIGSL105? jeff
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 and the VIGSL105 are the same bat other than the year they were released and the cosmetics.
Jason
My son is in in 6th grade and borrowing a -5 bat this season. Looking for a bat for next year, and this one looks like a great deal. Will new bat regulations affect use of this bat? craig stoll
As long as you guys are buying a bat for use in a league that is under USSSA rules, this 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) will be fine for use. I would recommend checking with your league to see if this bat is legal according to your league's rules.
Ben
Is this a composite handle or composite barrel bat? We are allowed to use composite handle bats in our league. bz8h6h
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 is a one-piece fully composite bat meaning that both the handle and the barrel are composite.
Tori
What is the barrel diameter? preston
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) features a 2 5/8" barrel.
John
Does this bat qualify for the new youth bat rules for spring of 2018? MCURRY
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 will not be legal under the new USA Baseball rules being implemented in youth leagues such as Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie Youth, PONY, and AABC in 2018. USA marked bats will be available for purchase in September.
Logan
Can you use this bat in 14u travel ball league? Mark
This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) will be legal for use under USSSA rules for 14U play.
Ben
My son is 5'3" tall and weighs 115 pounds. He plays in the 13-15 year old group. Need a -5 bat. (1) What bat size would you recommend? (2) Do you prefer composite over aluminum? baseball dad
(1) Based upon your player's height and weight, we would make a recommendation of getting a 31" bat as long as you can handle the subsequent 26 oz weight. This 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: (VG2SL105) is currently available in that size and I would recommend it highly for you. (2) Overall, composite and aluminum BBCOR bats really have the same potential for performance despite the price difference. The decision between the materials should come down to your preference as a player.
Ben
What are the differences between the 2016 and 2017 COMBAT Vigor -5? Gib Gibson
The 2016 and 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 are made of the same materials, have the same barrel construction and grip tape, and have very similar feel on contact. I wouldn't say there's any outstanding distinguishing factor between the two.
Trevor
What is the difference between this and 2018 Maxum as far as swing speed and pop? php
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (VG2SL105) and the 2018 COMBAT MAXUM -5 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL8MX105) are going to be very comparable in swing speed and performance. The Maxum is going to be a little bit more balanced so it will feature a little bit quicker swing speed than the Vigor through. The biggest difference between these two bats is going to be the barrel length of the Maxum is quite a bit longer than the Vigor.
Carter
My son is 13, 5'7 and 115 lbs, would you recommend this bat for him? Dad
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 is very popular at the -5 size, and is well rated by our customers. I would recommend this bat in a 31" 26 oz. size.
Logan
What is the barrel size? dowa
The 2017 COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 features a 2 5/8" barrel diameter.
Cameron
Can my son use this bat in high school? He lives in Indiana. Paul Masterson
No, the COMBAT VIGOR -5 Senior League Baseball Bat: VG2SL105 is not legal for high school. He will need a BBCOR bat for high school.
Tori
