Pros: I got to use this bat before hand at the factory. It was a great bat with a nice sized sweet spot. Compared to any other bbcor bat on the market this bat has the biggest sweet spot and nicest feel. Plus the bat just looks so amazing. 299.99 instead of 369.99 like last year's exo.
Cons:
Pros: Balanced. Pop. Amazing Grip.
Cons:
Pros: Excellent pop. Soft toss and light overhand and feel I can hit it out of the park. Anyone questioning what bat to get buy the exo. It is worth $300 and must be the best bat bbcor or besr. Bat looks sleek white grip looks cool. Best bat ever
Cons: White grip may get dirty. Louisville should come out with a black and white grip that would look awesome.
Pros: overall good bat, nice pop, big sweet spot, so nice!!
Cons: none
Pros: Great pop from the very first use. Decent "Sweet Spot." Weight is divided evenly throughout the bad giving it a very light feel. Great Bat
Cons: "Sweet Spot" is between the "P" and the "X" on "TPX." Bat broke on the 2nd day of use. Something lose inside the barrel. Gave me a new bat quick and have not had a problem with the new one at all.
Pros: If you have any questions on what bat to get, this is it. I had to try out for a tournament team and the bat came in the same day, I was worried about not getting to use the bat first but it proved its self. I hit 2 over a 330 ft. fence which made me look grate. Im 16, 5' 10" and 160lbs. This bat has great balance and a nice sized sweetspot. Even if you dont hit it in the sweetspot the ball will still travel a good distance.
Cons: Not having this bat.
Pros: Very balanced and has plenty of pop for a BBCOR bat. One of the best bat that I have used for high school. Got me my first 6 for 6 game on the first time out. This bat has a very appealing look to it also.
Cons: Gets dirty quick.
Pros: The New EXO is a great bat.great balance, nice pop, great sweet spot, and i just got one yesterday.its awesome. keep up the good work.it was worth $299.99
Cons:
Pros: Hot BAT!!! you think you hit good with a BESR bat, better work on you hitting only the best hitters will shine with a BBCOR bats! No more bat manufactured home runs! But this bat is as close as it comes!!!!
Cons: Needs a better tapered end at the handle.
Pros: Well balanced bat, nice graphics, nice grip.It's a BBCOR bat therefore not much pop. I bought this bat because it is the more balanced bat from among other BBCOR bats that are available on the market right now. Your not going to hit homeruns with this bat unless your built like a tank.
Cons: Rings inside bat barrel came loose after only having the bat for 4 days and using it for soft toss and tee work. rings inside the barrel were rattling. Louisville Slugger honored warranty by sending me a replacement bat,since this is a warranty replacement bat they will not replace the bat if the rings come loose again. The rings are a bad design , their there to slow the bat down not give power.
Pros: I got to use this bat for the first time today and I loved it. It performed up to my expectations and has a lot of pop compared to the other BBCOR bats I've swung. Also, the weighting is several time better than other Demarini BBCOR bats.
Cons: The only cons I have with this bat is that the sweet spot is relatively small (between the P & X of TPX) and that the white gets dirty too quick.
Pros: Amazing. well worth the $300. (sad part is thats regular price now). Great big sweet spot. unique noise. great bat.
Cons: i wish it was made in U.S.A. like Demarini. But still great bat.
Pros: I bought this bat two days before a game and was unsure on the size because i got a 34-31 but in the first two games i went 6 for 8 with 6 doubles and 9 RBIs i was the only hitter in the league with a bbcor and i lead the league in hits, doubles, rbis, and average this is an awesome bbcor bat the ball just flys off of the barrel compaired to other bbcor bats. i would buy this bat again and again.
Cons: handle gets dirty they should come out with replacement white handles
Pros: Balanced, doesn't sting, hits well.
Cons: After 2 months, something came loose inside the bat and started rattling. Had to send it back to the manufacturer. Grip gets really dirty and paint chips easily.
Pros: my team mate for an AAU team bought this bat, it was really good while it lasted (which was about 2 weeks) but then something came loose is the barrel, which made the umps not let us use it, but it still a great bat and has very good pop
Cons: something in barrel may come loose
Pros: Very very nice bat. For being a bbcor bat it has a big sweet spot and alot of pop. During my summer season i hit three home runs with it and tons of base hits. I would recomend this bat.
Cons: NOTHING
Pros: Amazing bat!! ive had it for about 2 months now and have been using it almost every day from games, to BP, to just hitting a ball off the tee in the backyard. It hasn't lost any bit of pop... if anything it seems like it keeps gaining pop! and since ive got this bat i havent had to use batting gloves cuz the grip is so soft and coushiny.. thats something i wont need to buy again... theres no better bat out there better than this one right here!!!!!!!
Cons: maybe the price could be a little lower.. but it is defiantly worth 300!
Pros: well balanced, large sweet spot. breaks in fairly easy, ball marks dont show up as easy as you would think. no sting, great feel. feels exactly like all my others exos
Cons: handle gets dirty very easy,
Pros: Gets attention with appearance and the sound of the bat. Weighted on the end. Happy so far.
Cons: First time on the big field for my 13 year old. Hitting the weights to swing the 31 drop 3.
Pros: Great bat!! Lots of POP and very easy to handle!
Cons:
Pros: nice pop
Cons: very top heavy and marks easily discs come loose
Pros: This bat is a great buy for the money! It's easy to swing and has a huge sweet spot. I would recommend this bat to anybody who is a contact hitter because of its stiff mentality.This bat is great.
Cons: My one and only con about this bat is that the grip tape easily tears but it is really a non factor as grip tape only costs about five dollars.
Pros: Amazing bat. Solid hits all over the field. Great for any bbcor hitter.
Cons: nonee.:)
Pros: Amazin bat
Cons:
Pros: This bat is for my 13yr old. Did not know what to expect from the BBCOR standard bat but was suprised with the pop and size of sweet spot. He has been very pleased with this bat as have I.
Cons: White grip looks cool but gets dirty fast.
Pros: It a good bat.It has a good sweet spot.
Cons: stings a little because of the one piece compostite.The one that I had broke inside one in a million.

Cons: I dont like the balance of the bat and think its very top heavy.The ball doesnt come off the bat very well and sounds worse than a wood bat.

Cons:

Cons: had it for a week and the rings came loose got the warranty bat then 3 months later the rings in that come loose......Not worth the price do to not being very durable.

Pros: Has alot of pop hits just like a BESR when you have the bat speed , white also looks good , good balance also I reccmommend this bat
Cons: The power discs come loose but its a easy fix you can just bang the bat on the ground or get another one but overall one of the best BBCORs
Pros: Well as you can see i hit a 9000 foot bomb no big deal haha its great perfect nothings wrong your guarenteed to hit the ball500 ft farther
Cons: No one wants to hear you brag they want and honest review
Pros: good pop
Cons: lots of vibration bad grip mine and ny friends both broke on the inside after only 3 months of use!!

Cons: None that I can see.
Pros: Best bat out there, a lot of pop really great bat in general
Cons: grip gets dirty but if your a real baseball player you shouldnt care
Pros: i like all the exogrids, this is just like the others, ive had this for varsity highschool ball and i have not had any problems at all with it yet
Cons: the grip tape gets dirty quickly
Pros: Excellent bat. My HS Junior son just jacked one over the wall at Paradise Valley Community College. In one week we saw 3 Demarini CF5 bats broke in half. Glad we went Exogrid2!
Cons: Grip wrap wears fast. Got replacement wrap quickly though.
Pros: i am an eighth grader on a high school team and this bat has helped me a ton. Nice sweet spot
Cons: 0
Pros: The weighting and balance of the bat is very good. Good pop too compared to others.
Cons: HOWEVER, my son (college player) has gone through two of these bats in one season. The power disc technology is flawed and they break easily. The discs come loose and rattle inside the bat. He switched to a different brand due to the hassle and expense.
Pros: Looks cool
Cons: has very little pop, discs inside come loose way to easily, grip gets dirty
Pros: good bad, good weight ratio throughout bat.
Cons: broke after having it for 3 weeks.
Pros: great bat lot of pop
Cons: too expensive
Pros: very solid. good looking. very good pop.
Cons: nothing really besides that ugly price haha.
Pros: great bat! my whole team uses my bat, huge sweet spot, great power
Cons: gets dirty very easy while using it in the rain and cold
Pros: Bat is fantastic. I'm 14 and I'm usually a contact hitter that hits singles and occasional doubles... But with this bat I'm batting at least .500 with 7 triples and 1 HR on a 325 fence. Overall bat has great pop and good sweet spot. I say it's as good if not better than some composite bats.
Cons: Paint chips a little after maybe 200 hits.
Pros: good pop, great looking, awesome, hit 3 doubles in 1 game .
Cons: white grip tape but who cares
Pros: this bat has amazing pop when you hit the ball solidly. the design is really cool and has a good grip
Cons: used this bat for about 8 games when somthing came loss inside the barrell so i now am the proud owner of a $300 baby rattle got a new and no problems yet though.
Pros: I have had this bat from the moment it came out. I hit 500 swings everyday and the pop gets better and better. It may sound like wood, but I think the sound is pretty cool. If you get jammed off the handle it makes a ping but it can still travel pretty far. BUY THIS BAT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
Cons: None unless you care if the grip gets dirty.
Pros:
Cons: everyone once the ring begins to rattle take the lid off and then take the ring out. no one can tell just dont put a mark on the lid and your all good and it has like 4x the pop when the ring is off
Pros: no sting balanced weight wood bat feel I bought this bat off of my friend for 150 after he had only used it in one scrimmage. It took a couple of practices before breaking it in but by the time games started it was as hot as the Voodoo or 5150. I love this bat and will look to keep buying it in the future.
Cons: feels heavy when not hit on sweet spot If the ball is not hit directly on the sweet spot it feels like its dead, but of course this comes from the bbcor requirements
Pros: I got this bat this year and its amazeing. it is by far the best bat i have ever had or used. It has nice feel and controll. When you hit the ball it barly has any vibration and sting. This bat is all around perfect.
Cons: There is nothing bad about this bat.
Pros: the best bat ever. i was thirteen coming up to varsity level and absoultly the best bat ever. great pop and good grip looks awesome.
Cons: grip gets dirty but who cares its a grip
Pros: has pop right out of the wrapper
Cons: Breaks all the time. Have had three of these on my team...every one has broken...the discs inside snap loose and rattle in the barrel...EVERYONE I have used and had on our team. 3 OF THEM. The bat does not last a year. The last one broke while my son was SWINGING ON DECK! Totally flawed design. Yes, you can send it in for a replacement but the next one will break too. Not worth it if you are a serious ball player using your bat more than 5 times a week. And, no, we never hit anything other than leather baseballs...it's the bat that is the problem.

Pros: None
Cons: This bat is awful. I loved exos and used them for almost my whole life, but this bat is a complete disappointment. My teammates and I thought that it had the same pop and power as a wood bat, maybe even less because there is less weight behind it.

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.
