2024 Rawlings Clout AI Performance & Analysis
The new 2024 Rawlings Clout ICON BBCOR baseball bat delivers an ultimate performance in the field.
This bat comes with a big barrel and a huge sweet spot. The slight end-load is AI-engineered in a way that it enhances the exit velocities of the balls, and resultantly a huge pop. Moreover, this alloy bat comes hot out of the box so you don’t need to break it in.
The grip is too thin which might not be a go for many. However, you can wrap a taper around it for a better hold.
In-hand feel is also on the stiffer side for a powerful performance. If you are used to swinging very lightweight bats, you might struggle with Clout AI.
However, once you can bring the barrel under control, you will deliver a smashing performance in the field.
It can be safely said that the new Rawlings Clout AI is a dope for Louisville Slugger Atlas which costs $100 extra. However, Atlas swings easier than the Clout AI and Voodoo one has the lightest swing weight among the 3 of them.
Overall, Clout AI is bang for every buck.
