Pros and cons
This bat has many pros and very few cons. The list of pros consists of a large sweet spot that helps hit the ball harder and farther. It also has a balanced feel to it for faster more connected swings. It also has a solid feel on contact for less vibration. The con suggests the bat has a durability issue but there have not been that many reported issues. The bat is great but do the cons outweigh the pros or vice versa? The bat is good and it’s top 5. It depends on the people’s tastes and preferences with features, colors, and performence.
Conclusion
In general, The CatX is 4.5 stars out of 5 which is very good. It’s very balanced with good power. There are definitely better bats like the Louisville Slugger Atlas and the Demarini Goods but this is number 3. The full alloy is the better option over the connect and composite models.
