Good Bat! Scott in McLean, VA coach
Pros: It's still early, he's only used it in 2 games, but overall he is hitting it well with this bat. We ordered the same size and weight as his other bat but he commented that it felt much lighter which gives me the impression there is not as much mass in the barrel, maybe more balanced weight distribution than end loaded, so less mass behind the ball at impact. He likes it, and hits well with it, but i wish now we had purchased a slightly larger bat. maybe one inch longer and ounce heavier.
Cons: Feels a little light. As mentioned, probably a more balanced bat as compared to a more end loaded bat. If we were to buy a replacement we would buy a slightly larger version.
great bat clayton parent
Pros: I got this bat for my 6 year old who plays pitching machine baseball and he hits great with it.
Cons: none
Great bat Jim parent
Pros: My son is six years old and right around fifty lbs. He had trouble making contact with the ball using other bats because it seemed like he just couldn't get the bat around in time. He now is consistently hitting the ball solid. The -13 length to weight ratio has made a world of difference. His confidence is now much higher and he is having fun.
Cons: none
Does the trick RLB parent
Pros: We switched from the TPX Warrior to this LS Assault as an incentive for my son's performance in 6U allstars. He hit it so well that the coaches on the opposing team made us retrieve the bat for inspection. They were begrudgingly satisfied with the Dixie Youth approval on the bat, and it's now referred to as the "illegal bat"
Cons: None yet.

Pros: a little pop not much
Cons: i dented it and it doesn't big a big sweet spot.If i was you i wouldn't buy this bat go by an Easton.

Is this bat comparable to a 2013 Easton XL3 with regards to pop and general feel of the bat? I haven't been able to find many reviews and am intersted in this bat for my 7 year old. He tried an XL3 at practice and loved the pop he got with it, but the barrel is larger than 2 1/4 inches, which exceeds the barrel size for the league we play in. James
Do you make a 2 5/8? tmon
How does this bat compare to the Easton Reflex? My son is a contact hitter, but not a power hitter. I was considering the Omaha as a possible replacement too. Doogie
Does this bat have an extended barrel? Please compare it to the Easton S500C. We are considering either this bat as a backup or upgrading to the Marucci Black 2. D.T.
I can't read the label in the pictures provided. Does it have an "Approved for Pony League play" stamp on it? mach21
My son is 4 feet tall and 47 lbs with a quick bat. I've always purchased a smaller / lighter bat because of his size. Would you recommend a 27" or 28" length? Any other recommendations other than the Louisville Slugger Assault? dss
Is this bat made of composite material? I need it to be lightweight and reduce the shock effect of the hit for my 6 year old. Gina

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.
