Description for the Rip-It Reaper BCT ASA Softball Bat: Reaper BCT Slow Pitch:

---

New for 2010! The Legendary Rip-It Reaper is back and better than ever. The research and development department at Rip-It has redesigned the Reaper from the knob to the end cap to ensure that this is the ultimate ASA bat on the market today. The new Reaper was the buzz at the most recent Bat Wars competition, sending shockwaves of excitement through the softball community. Move beyond composite with the Reaper BCT. Beyond Composite Technology, feels and sounds like composite, but is made of an exclusive technology that is guaranteed to outperform composite bats by 3%. The BCT uses Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy in a Bonded-Layer system where layers are chemically fused for greater strength and durability. Tabbed-Taper Technology allows for the interior wall to extend toward the handle extending the sweetspot for fewer miss hits. Many composite bats fail the 2009 ASA on-field compression test. To solve this problem many companies have decreased the performance of their composite bats or added technology to alert umpires when a bat fails the new test. The 2010 Reaper BCT solves this problem with its new Beyond Composite Technology. The end result is an ASA approved bat that has more pop than any ASA bat to this point. This bat is power-balanced with a .75oz. end load for the perfect mating of power and bat control. It comes down to this: If you want the most recent research and bat technology to date and an ASA bat with more POP than any composite on the market, then this is the bat that needs to be in your bag this year. When performance matters, just RIP-It. Free shipping.

Pros: Felt great straight out of the wrapper. Well balanced and good pop.
Cons: Maybe I just got a bad one but after about 100 hits the end cap has begun to become unseated and is coming out of the barrel. Going to send it back and hopefully the replacement wont take long to get back.

Pros: Good Price, great bat untill it breaks after about 20 hits, 2nd one ive gone through with endcap coming off... They said they still have a couple hundred out there with the same problem. But untill i get one without it i wont know.
Cons: End Cap Sleeve falling off, they dont pay to have it sent back to be fixed like others (demarini) After sending it back and forth i could've bought another bat.

Pros: Great pop out of the rapper. Well balanced. Great sweet spot.
Cons: Had less that 30 cuts on it when th end cap seperated from the barrel. They sent a new one right out. Haven't had the chance to use it to give a good rating. Hopefully the second holds up.

Pros: Pros: We want to thank everyone for the positive comments as well as the high performance rating you have given the Reaper BCT. We make bats for you, our customers, and are committed to always offering you the best performance both on the field and off. The endcap issue that a few customers experienced was a known issue that a few hundred bats had. This issue was due to a faulty epoxy, which has since been corrected. As always feel free to give our bats a try using our exclusive 30-Day Performance Guarantee. If you have any questions please email us anytime info@ripitsportinggoods.com.
