Description
It's time to step up and attack the diamond, because the two-piece composite just changed forever! Louisville Slugger proudly introduces their new two-piece composite bat suitably named the TPX Attack. The Attack BBCOR debuts Louisville Slugger's new two-piece T2 Technology. This revolutionary new transition technology strengthens the link between the barrel and handle to give the Attack a trampoline spring and virtually eliminates vibration on contact. This straighter, thicker rubber ring results in a bat that is not only sturdier, but gives players an unparalleled feel of the ball jumping off the bat. Rather than thicken the barrel walls to meet BBCOR standards, Louisville Slugger has inserted a 1" wide graphite band. This Flex Band Technology allows the Attack to have the lowest swing weight of any BBCOR bat, and it's small enough that the sweet spot feels just like your old BESR bat! The Attack is constructed from Louisville Slugger's LS-2X Composite that uses thinner, high-strength and lightweight graphite fibers to add more layers to the barrel for reinforced strength, while reducing the overall thickness of the barrel wall. More pop, less weight: that's the formula for better performance AND durability. ATTACK the strike zone like never before with the Louisville Slugger Attack BBCOR! Louisville Slugger: Be the Best, or Swing the Rest! It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: everything about this bat is amazing.
Cons: nothing to complain about.
Pros: No sting, very balanced. Great feel!
Cons: non
Pros: Hit this bat in the cage 4-5 times. The bat feels like one of the most balanced BBCOR I have swung. The ball seemed to jump off the composite barrel top to bottom. On miss hits in didnt vibrate like most other BBCOR bats. I was very impressed and finally feel like I got my money's worth out of a BBCOR bat.
Cons: $399.99 yikes... Best bat around, but not sure any bat is worth that money.
Pros: I use this bat in my hitting lessons and its the best bat i have ever used it is balanced all around and has a shock obsorber in the neck somewhere so it dosen't sting
Cons: $400 is a lot of money but worth it
Pros: Very well balanced, it doesn't feel like a drop 3 bat, no shock on miss hits, very good pop, nice sound off the barrel, no loud irritating pings!
Cons: none...the bat is indeed worth the money.
Pros: Best bat on the market. I just started to use mine and it's already as good as my broken-in Easton S1.
Cons: None.
Pros: best bbcor i have used, way better than s1 xl1 or cf5. no vibration and great ballance. drops bombs all day
Cons: nothing, money is no issue with this bat
Pros: Best TPX bat ever. Barely swing and it goes a mile.
Cons:
Pros: great
Cons: beast
Pros: Great bat and is evenly balanced.
Cons: Used it not even two days at practice and it broke near the rubber on the bat. $400 down the drain.
Pros: when you hit it on the sweet spot its great!
Cons: 400$ is way over priced for this bat and I really didnt like it. Sweet spot seems really small and there are better bats for the money
Pros: Nicely balanced.
Cons: Have been waiting for warmer weather to use bat in game. In 2 games, bat broke just above rubber connection. Expensive.
Pros: My son loves this bat. Great pop once we broke it in. Finally hit his first and the schools first middle school home run this year. He was on the team last year and they hit 17 home runs. Best BBCOR bat out there.
Cons: Just had to wait for weather to warm up a bit.
Pros: My sophomore son says great bat and he's tried them all.
Cons: Didn't make it through 10 games without 2 large cracks and rubber lose
Pros: Bat is nice and light as a -3 goes, nice pop with a good hit, also no sting when a fowl ball is hit. All around good bat.
Cons: Handle (end piece) I notice started chipping, The bat has had at lest 500+ hits off T-stand and soft toss. The end piece handle has never hit the ground, don't know whats causing it to chip.
Pros: I just got this bat and it is amazing. It has kind of the same feel as the S1 and you can feel the bat flex when the ball jumps off the bat. It kind of sounds like a wood bat and I love the sound of it. The S1 feels lighter and all that but the Attack is just so smooth through the zone. It is a very well balanced bat. Not as good as the S1 but it's right behind it.
Cons: None.
Pros: Solid hitting bat right out of the plastic. sounds slightly like a wood bat when you hit it on the sweet spot.
Cons: If you don't like to feel the bat flex this isn't the bat for you. Obviously different than a 1-piece bat.
Pros: Pop, Feel, Power.
Cons: $400 and didn't make half way through HS season, 2 cracks and loose rubber.
Pros: Good Bat the team uses it...
Cons: 1 Bat crack in practice just 2 weeks right above rubber. Sent in for warranty got 2 Bat crack again same place 1 1/2 wk. Lasted...Not worth it unless you gonna keep sending it for WARRANTY...
Pros: Ball jumps off the bat.
Cons: First bat cracked and band. Took three weeks to get replacement bat and it also cracked after just a few at bats.
Pros: The Perfect bat! Break-in period? I don't think so! My first at bat I popped up. When I came up again I hit a shot of the fence!
Cons: Nothing. Not even price. You pay for quality!
Pros: Great swing distribution and well balanced. Both my boys loved it from the onset.
Cons: Lasted 2 tournaments (10 games). The top half came loose from the handle, bottom half.....hence a true two piece.
Pros:
Cons:
Pros: has good pop
Cons: breaks very easily and wen i ordered the replacement, it stinks
Pros: None.
Cons: Only hit with it for 12 pitches and it broke right above the rubber.
Pros: Lots of pop, balance feel, big sweet spot
Cons: Bad grip with no batting gloves
Pros: The best bat I've ever swung in my life. when you connect with the ball it fly's of the bat. there is no sting when you swing. it feels like hitting a cloud. I've used this for 2 weeks and already have had more extra base hits than I had last fall.
Cons: the price wasn't an issue at all. worth every dime. BUT if you want the bat to last, you got to break it in and swing it probably 200-250 times of a tee or soft toss and turn in 1/4 turn after each swing.
Pros: When i first got it, it had above and beyond pop. So balanced compared to my XL1, but the XL lasted me about 16 months longer until it broke. The attack is a great bat, but dont waste your money if your looking for a bat to last.
Cons: Connection between the two peices broke after a month.
Pros: nothing fancy
Cons: bat has broke in the same spot 2 times now. waiting on #3!
Pros: good weight, ball jumps off the bat better than most bbcor
Cons: tends to break, especially in cold weather
Pros: Top 5 pop from a BBcore, feels great. If you like two piece bats its perfect
Cons: The bat doesn't last long I went through a couple
Pros: wow just wow! Once you get the bat, hold the barrel and tap the knob on the ground. You won't feel a thing! No vibration. It has great pop. I love it
Cons: non at all
Pros: This bat has amazing feel. GREAT POP!! the best feeling BBCOR I have ever touched. through the zone it is really smooth and adds a lot of head speed I defiantly recommend.

Pros: Major pop big sweet spot feels great
Cons: Notta
Pros: It feels good and hits good at first.

Pros: My 14yr son is a freshman in HS, just got the 2013 attack. Great pop fresh out the pack!!! Well balanced and vibration control. Again,, Bat has great GREAT POP, very similar to the Tpx z100. Sons bat is till brand new only uses in games, but still thinking about buying another one just to have 3 yrs from now.
Cons: None so far!
Pros: great bat, no sting, sweet pop.
Cons: Bat broke at the handle within 2 weeks....
Pros: This is my first BBCOR bat and I love it! It is a great bat that really doesn't feel like a -3. It is very balanced which makes it seem lighter to me. With the composite design, the ball flies off the bat.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: good pop that's it
Cons: first bat the cap loose, got replaced, second bat cracked the very first game of second season about 13 games 26 @ bats right when guaranty expires, got frustrated, not recomend
Pros: Has tons of pop, no sting, massive barrel
Cons: my friend broke 3 I still bought it and with in a month the Handel and barrel already pulled apart just from hitting BP
Pros: Good pop!!!
Cons: Broke after about 10 games!! Even hit 200 plus balls off tee and soft toss to break it in!!! Very dissatisfied with the quality!!
Pros: Bat per as advertised for 3 months, and my 14u loved it.
Cons: Bat went "dead" meaning no apparent surface defect, but something broke internally that rendered the bat "dead" (NO POP). JustBats only referred me to Louisville for warranty, and they refused to even issue me an RMA # because there are surface damage (what I get for being honest i guess). So I'm out $200. Last Louisville bat I will buy and will pass along in my league.
Pros: The ball took off the bat. I loved the sound it made. The all composite makes it a big help at the plate. Very we'll balanced on top of it all.
Cons: It broke on me in less than 2 weeks with less than 50 hits.
Pros: I love this bat. Has a nice smooth hit. And I hit my first home run with it
Cons: Their are no cons!
Pros: Nice looking bat right now of the wrapper. It has fanatics pop the 1st swing you have with it. Extremely balanced for a BBCOR bat compared to the CF5 and XL 1. Overall the best composite BBCOR baseball I have ever used.
Cons: Broke in the 1st month, I go the replacement and broke it in on the tee (250-500) hits, had my teammate do soft toss, and then had him pitch slow so the bat would break in nicely. The bat never broke after that.
Pros: Has a good feel with little to no vibration Super durable
Cons: not good pop not well balanced

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.
