The Baseball Bat Bros tried out two of the best Hybrid BBCOR bats in the game: the 2020 Louisville Slugger Select PWR and the 2018 DeMarini Voodoo.
These are two of the most-used bats in college baseball and definitely fall into the "power bat" category.
While the DeMarini Voodoo has frequently been bucketed into the "balanced" baseball bat discussion. This bat is quite a bit more endloaded than some of its counterparts like the CF Zen & Voodoo One - and is actually more comparable to the CF Insane in terms of its swing weight. That's why we think they dropped the "Balanced" from the name in 2020 - and went back to simply the "Voodoo".
The Select PWR is widely accepted as an endloaded, power-optimized brute. Definitely a bit more swing weight on this one, but it made up for it with a very explosive sweet spot.
