Pros: Phenomenal bat for the price! Very similar to the old H2, except I think this alloy/composite combo produces higher performance. The -13 drop allows my son to get the bat around quicker than ever before, and it is definitely showing up in his stats!
Cons: White grip. Don't know why they do that.
Pros: this bat is amazing! the white grip is so soft. i love the ping on the bat it is worth the money.
Cons: there's nothing wrong with this bat
Pros: This bat is Hotttt! My son plays travel ball and the whole team is using it! Best bat I've seen on the travel ball circuit!
Cons: nothing wrong at all with this bat!
Pros: Very good bat. My son really likes how the ball jumps off the bat and doesn't sting as bad as other bats. Not going to give the normal tall tales that everyone does of how many HR's he hit when they got the bat but it's a solid bat
Cons: None so far and white grip is relatively clean.
Pros: Increased bat speed. Nice "Ping" off the barrell. Increase distance and power. Great bat.

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.
