BOMBS! Jake player

Pros: Hot out of the wrapper and just keeps getting HOTTER! Never used a Mizuno, but after trying a teammates recently I had to get one for myself. The price is right and out performs some of those $300+ bats. Very Happy!

Cons: No warranty, but then again the bat is less than $200.

Love this Bat! CD player

Pros: I bought this bat a few months back. I broke it out in a tournament for the first time and it was so solid right out of the wrapper. It didn't even feel like a brand new bat. I'm a female and swing the 29, and all I have been hitting with this bat are solid line drives. I absolutely love this bat!!!

Cons: None really, only thing is the no warranty.
