2018 Adidas Aero Burner Comp Review

By Bat Digest

Updated November 17, 2022

2018 Adidas Aero Burner Comp Review Featured Image
After considerable cage time, measuring the bat's exit speed, barrel size, and exact swing weight, we put together this 2018 Adidas Aero Burner Comp Review. The felt good on hits and mishits, runs right in the range of a low to moderate swing weight and showed promise on its exit speeds. The bat's minimal release in a BBCOR 33 or 34-inch length will severely limit its public uptake. The 2018 Adidas Aero Burner Comp is meant for collegiate players and top-shelf high school kids that want to move outside the beaten path of BBCOR bats.

2018 Aero Burner Models

Assuming you find yourself in the two-piece composite 33 or 34-inch BBCOR space, the Aero Burner is an option. Everyone else is out of luck, as that is the only size this bat is made. If that is one of you, and you are an elite High School or Collegiate hitter, we suggest you also consider aluminum barrels and stiffer bats. Big-time players tend to prefer these features in the BBCOR space as they act and feel more like wood. However, if you are in the market for a 33 and 34-inch BBCOR bat and want to stick with a two-piece composite as well as want the best looking one on the market, the 2018 Adidas Aero Burner Comp might be the bat for you.

General Recommendations

There is nothing remarkable about the connective piece of the bat. Most other companies have some technology they like to discuss when it comes to the connective piece of their high-end composite designs, but Adidas calls it an Energy connective piece and moves on. In some regard, we can appreciate the acceptance that the bat's features are about the barrel, handle and grip instead of some nuanced connective piece. The most technically impressive feature of the 2018 Aero Burner is the end cap. This new piece to the 2018 version allowed for a slightly lighter design and more extended barrel size. Aesthetically the bat is brilliant, we think. Never underestimate Adidas' ability to create stunning sports equipment.

Reviews By Model

Construction

Adidas' 2018 Aero has all the features that justify the price point. That is the price of the Aero Burner prices out like other two-piece composite bats in the market. The idea is for a light swinging big barreled two-piece bat that is easy on the hands. Our overall experience was it did an excellent job of dampening sting, but not as good as a few of the other BBCOR bats we like.
