Cat 8
Bought Cat 8 after using Cat 7 previously. Great balance and feel. Marucci got it right.
The CAT8 -8 is a USSSA certified, one-piece alloy bat built with AZ105 super strength aluminum alloy meaning thinner walls, higher response rate, and better durability. The precision-balanced barrel features a ring-free multi-variable wall design that creates an expanded sweet spot, while the patented AV2 Anti-Vibration knob produces a better feel and less negative feedback.

Purchased new Cat8 -8 (31/23) for my 11 year old. Great sound / great pop. He had same size/weight in Cat7. Was hesitant to pick up new bat thinking just new paint job, however, the performance of this bat is unbelievably better. Bigger sweet spot, bigger barrel, and the ball flys off the bat much quicker and farther. I definitely recommend this bat as your kid moves up from the -10.
Son plays 12U travel. Eight kids have the Cat8 and they all hit very well. Worth every penny.
My 9 year old received this bat and has loved it since he hit his first ball. the bat is well balanced and a great sweet spot for a young player.
I got this bat for my 11U son to use in Tournament play. He's only used it in a cage so far but loves the feel and picked up 3-7MPH exit velo with it. He also LOVES the sound it makes!
Early birthday present for my son's 12th birthday. Had his name and number engraved on it and he really liked that. Ball sounds awesome coming off the bat. I was a little disappointed when I seen the "Made in China", was under the impression it was manufactured in the USA.
Bought this as an early birthday present for my son. He was able to use it for our final tournament of the season. Great ping my son really enjoyed it over his Cat 6, Everyone wanted to try it out. Great Bat!!
Used it to replace a drop -10 Marruci. Lots of pop and great bat to transition youth players away from drop-10 bats as they move toward middle school and high school bats.
