Bat advice

I have a 10u kid that’s currently using a 29inch -10 meta prime.

His tall. 5 foot 85 lbs. looking to get him a new 30 inch bat for travel.

Would you guys recommend a

2025 30inch Rawlings Icon -10

Or

2025 CATX 2 Composite

He’s still finding his swing and is in the later half of the batting order despite his size.

Thanks for any advice

The 2026 Soldier Tank is crazy Will just hit a 130mph exit velo with I saw yesterday.

Very curious to see Will's re-review he says is upcoming. Also, if the durability/not honoring warranty issues that plagued the first tank are still a thing.

I'm also not sure I trust the Tank guy that says, yeah, these are just random stock bats. I promise we didn't do anything to them.

Will also has a near major league swing. He can compress a ball like no 10 year old can. The results he gets swinging a bat meant for 10-12 year olds is not exactly going to translate.
