Customer Reviews: Hex Family
Feb 28th 2018
The Hex family has been a staple in the Marucci metal bat line for over four seasons, and it has exploded in popularity at travel ball and youth tournaments around the country. We're not sure who loves these bats more, the players or the parents.
Hex Alloy 2
A one-piece alloy boomstick built with the strongest aluminum on the Marucci line, the Hex Alloy 2 is hot out of the wrapper and expertly balanced for speed. Available in USSSA -10.
“Excellent bat. Most bats have a break-in period. If this bat has one, then we're really in for a surprise. My 9-year old was lacing line drives with this bat from the very first pitch. We didn't have to wait 300 swings to hear that sweet sound. Highly recommend.”
“I bought this bat for my 11 yr old son before the fall season and he loves it. He's not a HR hitter more of a gap to gap type, but he is definitely hitting with more pop than before. Couldn't ask for a better bat for him. Only negative is the grip, but not enough to give it any negative points on rating because that is a preference issue. Changed grip and went to work. Has had the Cat 6,7, Posey, & (competitor) Alloy one piece and this is by far his favorite. Great job Marucci on another great product as usual.”
“Marucci sent this bat as a warranty replacement for the green Hex Alloy. This bat is way hotter out of the wrapper than the original Hex Alloy and seems to be getting better. The stronger alloy makes this bat way more durable than the original also. The Hex Alloy one had more dimples than a golf ball after just a couple weeks of use. The 2 doesn't have a dent or ding yet. My son has the Hex Connect, Hex Alloy 1, and 2 in his bag and the Alloy 2 is by far his favorite! I'm going to buy another one to stick in his bag just in case something happens to this one!”
Hex Connect
This two-piece composite masher is a hit with youth and middle school players. The Hex Connect is USSSA certified and available in -5, -8, and -10.
“My son just switched from a drop -10 bat to the drop -5 Hex Connect and he loves it! It's very well balanced with a large sweet spot and he didn't lose any speed in his swing. When hitting a ball it sounds as if it was made of aluminum, which is amazing to hear coming from a composite barrel. After seeing it in action I can say hands down it is the best bat I have ever given him to use.”
“My son had the Hex Composite and loved it from day 1. We got the Hex Connect and WOW it is hotter and he loves the feel at contact. Even our hitting coach is starting to recommend this bat to other kids that come through his place.”
“My son loves this bat! I was a little concerned about the composite because he used to use just alloy, but after breaking it in we're thrilled with the performance. Also no sting so he's not anticipating contact anymore. Led to a lot more consistency!”
