Jones 24
Pros: Very good bat. Hits the ball hard. It has a good weight. Huge barrel. It doesn't hurt when you hit the ball off the end of the barrell.
Cons: The 32 inch is a little heavy but when you put a bat weight it lightens up
Rhino95
Pros: Real nice balance. But it a little long and choke up 1/2 inch to an inch. The balance you get from that will lighten the feel. I also use the youth counter-part to this for practice for the kids swinging a heavier bat. It's better than using a donut. Good value for the price.
Cons: It can chip or get gouges easy.

Cons: none
Anonymous
Pros: Very light weight and a good feel. Probably good as a training bat for players in middle school or early high school.
Cons: It has a very thin neck and It breaks very easily. I would not recommend it for game use for people in high school or older.
RoyH
Pros: I have played baseball for many years and have used many different brands of wood bats. Many of these bats were $60-70 or more. The ball pops off this bat better than the expensive bats and I have not had any problem with breakage. Do not let the price fool you, it is an excellent bat.
Cons: None

Utah Coach
Pros: Had good balance. 32 inch bat weighed in at just under 24 ounces.
Cons: Bought the bat brand new. It broke during the first night of use by 13 & 14 year old boys hitting 50 mph pitches in baseball. Lasted about a 150 hits. I expected better life.
WEAG
Pros: Great bat, going on year 3 and i think it's finally on the down turn. I use it for practice and games and she's still going strong. Very light. Good pop. Very balanced. Durable.
Cons: Use some pine tar or tape the handle, i use 2 layers of tape with pine tar soaked in. Works great

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
