dingers coach matt coach
Pros: I am a coach for a travel team and i bought this for the team and the first game 4 kids hit balls 250 feet
Cons: little bit of vibration
Great Bat- Good Price Coach Bill coach
Pros: Good performance, and seems very durable. A welcome change from the Mako's that my son would get no more than 6 swings before it cracked.
Cons: I see none.
Stunning! Mark Muta player
Pros: I had an illegal bat for my all star team so i had to find a bat in time for my games . I found this bat and right out of the box this bat was in incredible shape. It is pretty heavy but if you have good swing mechanics and a fast swing it will fly a mile. I went to practice with this bat and hit 2 homeruns in a row! The first HR was measured at 345 ft and the other HR was measured at 360 ft. When you hit the sweet spot, it feels like air just touched the ball and it goes a mile. Almost all of my hits go to the fence which is 310 ft. I strongly recommend this bat for someone who wants tons of pop and a fast swing. This bat is really good for power hitters. This bat is the best bat i have ever owned.
Cons: none

Cons: None

Coach Dusty Dusty Fussell coach
Pros: So far it seems to be a great bat. Swings good great pop my son loves it.
Cons: Haven't had it vary long so i don't have anything negative.
Holy Charlie Olson player
Pros: This bat is outstanding I am a 5 foot 6 kid who can hit a lot further than I could with any other bat. I have so many superstitions, and this bat is so good that it passed my test.
Cons: Maybe the paint chips, but I think it build character.

My son is 12 (going to be 13 at the end of July). He's about 5'0" and around 105 lbs. Would he be better off with a 30/25 or 31/26? How is the swing speed compared to the Rawlings 5150? He needs to go to a -5 next year. His current bat is a 30/21 DeMarini Overload, but he's been using his teammate's 31/21 2015 MAKO because he feels his DeMarini is too short for him. Eric

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.
