Great pop Jim player
Pros: The look, balance and feel of this bat are very nice. The knob is kind of smaller which I like in my hand.
Cons: The only con I have is they break VERY easily. Either hit the ball very solid on the barrel or it's going to break. I didn't even get to use mine in the first game I had it because it broke while taking BP.
All Show, No Go Dave M parent
Pros: Pretty Bat, nice colors. easy to swing
Cons: Bought 2 bat pack 3 weeks ago (March27th ish). Didn't last more than a couple games and some practices in between. The 2nd one only lasted about 45 balls in the cage (regular baseballs) Would really like my $ back from Just Bats or Louisville Slugger but I agreed to the No Warranty for all wood bats so there you go...
l13 Ash Prostock Lite Great value! Lance G parent
Pros: My son is on his second of 2. Minimum of 100 swings a week for 6 months on bat number 1. He loves it!! Great balance, solid POP for a drop 3 Ash bat. The two we have used have been shockingly durable in the cage and for games. Can't beat this bat for the price.
Cons: Can't find them on the Louisville site anymore.

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.
