Pros: This bat is hot very smooth and big sweet spot! Great great bat
Cons: None!!!!!
Pros: This bat is hot!
Cons: The grip, but that's a personal opinion.
Pros: bat has great control, pop and sound. ball flies off right out of the wrapper. as good maybe better than the 2013 model
Cons: none
Pros: Seems more durable than the last Z. Getting hotter the more I swing it.
Cons: Not as hot out the wrapper as the previous models but its getting there...
Pros: Break in is quick. Only 175 hits and already clearing fences. Best feeling endloaded bat I've hit yet. This is the first oem grip I like that actually holds up.
Cons: Bat feels comparable in weight to my other 28 oz endloads but this one is a 27oz. So a little heavier than expected.
Pros: good for line drives, great if you use 52/300 balls, gave it 4 stars
Cons: not as hot out of the wrapper as the 2013 z2000 model
Pros: I have had my new bat for several weeks. I like the look and feel, but not impressed with result. In fairness, I want to break it in more before passing judgement.
Cons: Does not have the pop or unique sound if my Z1000. I bought a 26 oz., but it feels heavier, more like a 28oz. Ball does not rocket off the bat like my 1000.
Pros: This bat has a lighter feel than expected. I felt like this is more of a base hitters bat versus a power hiters bat. Had some good solid line drives and all hits felt good.
Cons: Didnt feel as this bat provided any extra distance to the balls hit.
Pros: That it is newer than my Z-1000 not hot right out of the wrapper.
Cons: Not hot right right of the wrapper. In time, should be a great bat. Still too early to tell.
Pros: this bat is HOT! it just gets better with every swing!
Cons: None
Pros: Great pop out of the wrapper! Excellent feel. Great power hitter's bat! Easy power. Grip is nice.
Cons: None! I have Probably 300 swings on it and it is very hot. No issues.
Pros: Looks and feels good.
Cons: Not happy with the pop and break in period. Still waiting for it to come alive. Doesn't sound right. May have gotten a dud. Been using a cheaper Easton bat in games.
Pros: The bat has great pop you hardly have to swing the bat to put it out in the field and the ball are screaming when you make contact you can't go wrong with this bat
Cons: none
Pros: This is my first softball bat purchase. So far the team and i love it. Good pop. We have used it for two practices, id say it has about 150 cuts on it and is just about broken in.
Cons: none yet
Pros: short break in 50 swings hitting 52 core 300 compresion balls 380-400 . the sound of the bat is crazy loud .
Cons: hope it holds up?

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
