Pros: It didn't break
Cons: This bat swings and feels just like last year's Attack. I am very disappointed and will be switching to something else soon.
Pros: This bat has many likeable features. It provides unbelieveable power. The full composite material allows for a bigger sweet spot than aluminum bat. I have done a lot of research on this bat, and I do believe it an be a real contender to the new 2015 models of Easton. Louisville Slugger is definetely taking a step foward woth this new piece of technogy.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: **THIS BAT IS NOTHING LIKE LAST YEARS ATTACK.** The swing weight on this one is a bit more end weighted to make a perfect swing. Last year and the before were quite balanced. You get god power from this bat but they're more like bombs that go thirty feet over.. not necessarily hard, back-spin line drives. Which is a shame:( I'm a power hitter and i highly recommend this bat or ANY rawlings bat (besides the mach ...) or the Easton s1. In Conclusion, Ive tried every bat you could imagine you gotta go big or go home or you'll be stuck with a bat you won't be too happy with. GET THIS BAT.
Cons: not a thing.
Pros: very light swing weight and TONS of pop. No sting and it looks great
Cons: nothing
Pros: My son hit this for the first time yesterday and he likes it. it is nothing like the attack models and even though it is somewhat balanced it is a little end loaded so will take some cuts to adjust. The sweet spot is bigger than in the attack and when hit flush the ball jumps off!
Cons: although not a huge problem the bat is not as balanced as advertised but anyone who has swung an XL1 can make the adjustment. Hoping that this doesnt break in the first 2 months like the attack did, considering the hassle that LS gave us trying to claim the warranty, but we shall see.....
Pros: The bat has a ton of pop and I love to use it
Cons: none
Pros: PURCHASED BAT FOR MY SON ALOT MORE POP THAN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE FOR A BBCOR. HE IS NOT VERY BIG BUT HE PLAYS THE GAME RIGHT. THE BATS PREFORMANCE IS WELL ABOVE EASTON/MARCUCCI/DEMARRINI WE HAVE TESTED ALL BRANDS LOUISVILLE HAS THE TOP PRODUCT FOR HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS PRIME 915 LOOKS GREAT PREFORMANCE TESTED AT GAME SPEED
Cons: NONE
Pros: Great Feel Off The Bat , Good Cushy Grip , Easy Through The Zone, Great Pop , Easy To Break In , I Have A 32/29 And It Is Easy To Get Your Hands In On Balls Inside Because The Bat Is So.Light And Quick Through The Zone
Cons: Expensive
Pros: Love the feel of the grip. The bat has a ton of pop, and is very quick thru the zone.
Cons: The bat is red and my high schools rival is red lol
Pros: This bat has great pop. I love the feel of it! It is smooth and there is no vibration or sting in your hands at all! The shipping was great as well!
Cons: Yes, the price is up there but it is worth it!
Pros: Amazing Pop! this bat is the real deal!
Cons: no cons.
Pros: This is an amazing bat. I've had a DeMarini or Easton in my bag since LL. Saw this bat in last year's College World Series and could wait to swing one. Tried the CF7 before committing to the 915. CF7 has great feel, DeMarini make great products. I found the 915 had more pop and was perfect for myself -- contact hitter.
Cons: The only con is price but it is priced in the same range as all other high end BBCOR bats.
Pros: Excellent pop and to me it seems very balanced. The swing weight is well distributed throughout the entire bat which is beneficial for those who like the end load but still maintaining quick hands. 3 piece design as well is new to the constant changing game and its the best innovation by far. The 3 piece design sure does reduce the vibration as well. The graphics on the bat makes it that much better! Great job Louisville!!
Cons: None that I can see so far.
Pros: makes it feel like it is 1.15 again and the ball just jumps of the bat
Cons: the grip is slick with gloves
Pros: Great feel- Looks great - All in all a good bat. The kids currently using it and like it the best are contact hitters. They say they are getting more distance and power from this bat.
Cons: My son is a power hitter and can get more from his wood bat than this one. Other power hitters on the team say the bat seems dead to them as well. Seems as though the harder you hit it the more the bat absorbs therefore less ball velocity. It has had adequate break in time. We will continue using it for awhile while we decide on another bat. Nowhere near the pop of the previous model which had great pop (330' to 400' bombs).
Pros: This bat is a great bat! I just bought it and it has amazing pop! The ball flies off of it and has amazing carry! It is just the perfect amount of mass and speed throught the zone for anybody! I have tried the rip it helium and the Easton s1 and neither of them even close to compare to this bat!! No matter the size! It is worth every penny that I paid for it! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!
Cons: The bat feel like it rotates a little bit and my teammates said the same thing, but it is still the perfect bat for any high school or college player! It doesn't bother me at all anymore since I got used to it! Buy this bat!
Pros: Honestly the most pop in any composite bat I have ever swung. Took BP one time with it and I could feel the stiff flex handle and the barrel just came through the zone. Slight end-load for some power hitters like me. I swing the 2013 demarini voodoo and the ball just flies off of that bat, but honestly I think this Prime has more pop. And LOVE the three piece handle design!
Cons: Pricy and grip is very thick and slippery
Pros: This bat is nothing like anything I have swung before. I am a contact hitter who hits mainly singles and doubles. The ball flys off this bat like nothing you have ever seen before. I hit my first home run last night on a liner that cleared the fence by 10 ft. This bat is almost incomparable to other bats. Louisville Slugger has once again out done the competitors by a long shot.
Cons: None
Pros: ball jumps off bat
Cons: already has a few chips
Pros: Nothing but hype
Cons: 10 games into season the handel to barrel connection has come loose !!!! Would not recommend this bat to anyone
Pros: Great pop and balanced
Cons: The handle feels like it rotates. This is my second bat because the first one rotated a lot and sent it in for a new one.
Pros: I bought my son this louisville slugger prime 915 bat. After a couple of weeks it came loose where the handle and barrel meet. I returned it and followed the instructions. I have no bat, and I cannot get Louisville slugger to return any of my emails, or reply to the messsages I have left for the warranty department. After two weeks I feel I bought an expensive defective bat that was not warrantied, and they kept the bat I sent them. Nothing in return yet.
Cons: Defective bat, warranty department is very difficult to contact.
Pros: Has a lot of pop, the ball jumps on the bat. Sounds great when ball hits bat. I have never hit the ball as far as I am hitting now with this hit.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: A sorely lacking Louisville Slugger customer service experience
Cons: In April this year I purchased a Prime 915. 4/8/15 Order #3073954988 When it arrived my 14U son said it didn't feel right. Note...you could twist the barrel and it felt like something's loose 5/19 I called Customer Service several times....voice mailbox full. I eventually talk to warranty service. 5/29 I receive an email from LS bat is defective use RA #60494853 When I take the return package to Fed EX it does NOT include shipping! $400 bat is defective and I have to pay to ship it??? I call 1800 282-BATS and get a person. "We don't pay for return shipping" The following week I received a 2016 916 Model from LS. 300 swings later the barrel on it started twisting and something is loose. Called warranty service 7 times and got "voice mailbox full" message. I was able to eventually get a full refund including shipping. My son is now swinging a competitors bat.
Pros: Pretty good pop, felt very little vibration, and had a very good general feel to it.
Cons: The paint started chipping off all over the bat if you dont mind that the bat was nice but i didn't like it
Pros: looks good
Cons: the bat is terrible in a nutshell.. i baught it expecting a great bat but the handle is very loose and moves when you swing.. it has no pop and sounds dead.. definately getting my moneyback go with the mako
Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Little pop compared to the Demarini. My son used it for a season, ball just didn't seem to go anywhere. Took him hitting with Demarini and the Prime and he got easily 20-30 more feet with Demarini. He said Prime just feels dead.
Pros: The bat is an overall solid bat that has quite a bit of pop. After having borrowed my teamates 915 for a few games I knew it would be a good fit for me considering that I am a 4 hole power hitter that likes some end load but not too much. The bat feels similar to an XL1 which I had used for a couple of years and liked, but I wanted to try these new Louisville bats and I will see how it goes.
Cons: Nothing so far.

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.
