Pros: Amazing pop and all around great feel . Beautiful paint job .
Cons: None so far !
Pros: bat comes out of the wrapping with great pop. Big sweet spot and very well balanced. My son is 8 years old and weighs 42 pounds and we just got him the 27 in 17 oz and he swings it very well. The looks and the feel of the bat is top notch as well! Not once did he feel any bad vibration yesterday and it was 45 degrees outside. Very, Very satisfied with this purchase!!!
Cons: None
Pros: Good pop, nice balance, great look
Cons: None to speak of
Pros: This is a very nice big barrel. It came out of the wrapper with great pop. I was hesitant to buy the bat because it was only $99, i was worried if the quality would be there, but I would buy this bat again even over the Mako big barrel. My son loves the bat, it has a great look and feel. It is a great bat for a great price. My son is 8 years old and weighs 75 lbs and he swings the 28" 20".
Cons: Nothing bad to say about this bat...
Pros: My son had four bats that he can hit, but I saw one of my rec. team players hitting this bat, so I started to pay attention to it. My son hits the ball solid, but sometimes on mishits, he does not get the pop. I purchased it on Friday, he played with it in the tournament on yesterday. 6-6 in two tournament games, six shots into the outfield, he plays 8U coach pitch. I know that the new version is out, but old version is just fine. The Louisville Slugger is now at the top of his batting list.
Cons: None, so far
Pros: Son is 7, plays 7u Coach Pitch. We picked up the 28/18. This bat has to be the lightest alloy bat to swing on the market today. Very balanced. No complaints of stinging his hands on mis-hits. Son loves the look as well so two thumbs up. This bat swings so light it allowed us to step up in length and he can still control the bat quite well.
Cons: None

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.
