Cons: grips is going to get dirty
Pros: None
Cons: Broke when hit first ball
Pros: This bat swung very light as others have mentioned. Went with a 32" because my old 33" was too heavy on the end. This bat feels extremely light. If you are looking the lightest BBCOR bat I would recommend this one.
Cons: Sound, has a weird ping. Different than other bats on my team
Pros: Great pop, super light and worth the price
Cons: Handle gets dirty fast but happens to all bats with white handles
Pros: Great balanced bat love it
Cons: None
Pros: Its balanced and has lots of pop . It doesn't hurt bad if you don't sweet spot it .
Cons: Sting zone on the handle. If it hits on the handle it stings .
Pros: Nice pop, good look, and the grip tape is nice. This is probably the most balanced and light weight BBCOR bat on the market. It has a great price.
Cons: The grip tape does get dirty.
Pros: I just bought this bat the other day and I already love-it!! It got some good pop and when you hit it on the sweet spot it will go pretty far!!!
Cons: Since the handle is white it will get dirty pretty fast so if you like a clean bat this bat isn't for you

Cons: None!
Pros: Good pop, well balanced. LS has very easy and quick return policy.
Cons: We have gone through 2 of these since the beginning of the season. Our team has actually gone through 4. In all instances the cap came flying off and cracked. LS says they have fixed the problem, but the early runs will still have these issues. I would only get bats directly from LS to guarantee they haven't been sitting in a warehouse as a first run.
Pros: Used it for the first time yesterday, very balanced great pop. Always thought it was a cheap bat, it isn't well worth your money.

Pros: Very nice bat my favorite so far out of all mine
Cons: Weird sound when hit off end some bats do some don't
Pros: 1)You know you hit it well with this bat based on the sound 2)Very balanced; you dint get that with many bats except the Louisville slugger. easton and demarini are top heavy so you will be more of a slap hitter with those bats but you will get extra base hits with this bat 3) Besides performance the look is awesome!!! it looks like the old timberwolves jerseys
Cons: Louisville slugger didn't remake it. It is now the assault The handle gets dirty It vibrates when you don't hit it clean in cold weather
Pros: Great bat, lots of bat speed, light weight
Cons: Not as much pop as some bats, but still has great pop and light for good bat speed
Pros: very light and well balanced, good for contact hitter
Cons: not good pop at all ball doesnt travel with this bat even if you hit it in sweet spot and its not just me my teammates think it doesnt have pop.
Pros: good pop, great swing weight, very well balanced. not top heavy at all like other bbcor bats
Cons: loud
Pros: bery balanced and durable. doesnt nreak like other louisville models. good for contact hitter
Cons: was not tope heavy enough for my liking
Pros: great pop with excellent durability
Cons: feel some vibration because of the bat being a one piece bat.
Pros: decent pop
Cons: buy a wood bat instead of this. barrel is really small, and very ahrd to hit with if you dont like wood buy any other bbcor bat better than this
Pros: this bat looks great, is well balanced, lightweight, and comfortable.
Cons: good for contact, not for power. grip gets dirty and tape comes off.
Pros: Great look, great pop, great sound (if you like a PING!), and nice grip
Cons: white grip gets really dirty
Pros: great pop bat looks great and has a great feel
Cons: none
Pros: good pop and very well balanced.
Cons: loud ping and bat tap gets extremely dirty very fast.
Pros: really low swing weight, good pop
Cons: something inside the barrel broke and now rattles around. Used in a lot of practices and about 20 games
Pros: Very nice to swing. Very balanced. Our JV 4 hitter consistently hits 300ft+ with bat.
Cons: White grip gets dirty really quick. Very loud ping, umpire and other coach questioned if it was BBCOR.
Pros: If your a power or contact hitter, this is the bat for you. No joke. Sweet spot feels like nothing, ball flys off the bat. even ground balls get hit hard with the omaha. Within 3 games of use i already hit my first bomb of my career. The new balanced feel is not a lie, you would think being a one piece it would be end weighted. Not even close. Balanced feel, stiff swing through the zone. If you wanna hit the ball to the moon, this is the bat for you
Cons: vibrates alot if not hit on the sweetspot, chips paint easily. Nothing major that cant be corrected with practice, or if you dont care if it gets scratched.
Pros: very very light good overall feel
Cons: the pop could be a little better but the light weight makes up for it
Pros: Balanced weight makes it easy for a small youth to swing. I was worried about going to a drop three since my son is small but he swings this bat with ease (29/26).
Cons: White grip get dirty easy but that is just baseball.
Pros: Lots of pop Good looking Very balanced and light weight Best BBCOR bat for the pprice
Cons: Grip falls off quickly so id take it off and get some lixard skin
Pros: has a great ping, i have used it for 2 years and it still hits like its brand new amazing bat
Cons: Absolutely none

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.
