You definitely lose some barrel size on the Vigor when compared to some of the more top-shelf bats---the Combat MAXUM being one of them. But the price difference in something like the Combat Vigor (compared to the MAXUM, DeMarini CF8, or Easton MAKO) may give plenty of reason to give up a couple of inches of the barrel for a more affordable option.
The bat lacks the barrel size many have come to expect from the Combat line of performance bats---specifically the MAXUM and Portent lines.
Single piece composite bats also tend to be the most prone to cracking than hybrid and single-piece alloy bats. But, if you buy it new, the bat comes with a one year (one-time replacement) warranty.
