Player Profile

This was an adult–a dad of players. He has bat speeds in the mid to high 80 miles per hour range. He thought it would be fun to test out some bats, so he went after it.

NOTE: We’ve measured thousands of bats over the years. We’ve found, in large measure, bat results are very hitter dependent. Most comparisons we do are very, very close. The 1 or 2 mile per hour difference is hard to attribute only to the barrels performance. We think the hitter determines upwards of 70% of the exit speeds. The other 30% is the bat.

Warhawk 2
Bonesaber

The Warstic HAWK2 is a heavy swinging bat, no doubt. It is noticeably heavier than the Bonesaber. The Bonesaber not only swings lighter than the HAWK2 but has a unique handle that the hitter preferred. That unique handle gave it a lighter feel than it probably was.

Warhawk 2
Bonesaber

HitTrax measure dozens of metrics on ball flight. Aside from exit speeds, we took the average launch angle and hit type. When divided by fly ball, line drive, and grounder, the HAWK2 hit 50% of its swings as line drives while the Bonesaber only had 39%. We are not sure how useful a statistic that might be, but we report it anyways.
