Pros: The ball seems to fly off this bat better than any of the other expensive bats on the rack. It seems to have a real nice sound and feel like hitting with wood, except with more pop. Homers have increased. Seems to have broken in fairly quick, maybe even has more to go because it's only a couple weeks old. MADE IN THE USA! Great bat.
Cons: Not a real con, a pro for some kids: it is a drop 10(maybe less, didn't weigh it) a little heavy for some kids.
Pros: This bat is so quality. It's obvious that it is the better than the rest. The XL1 would be up there with it, those 2 in their own category. Very nice ball flight.
Cons: none
Pros: Solid, attactive design. Has very nice sound on contact with good pop. The problem is the Mako is a better, more balanced bat for only slightly more money. This bat is a bit top heavy and really should be used by larger, stonger kids in which case it might be a good choice.
Cons: Too heavy and at this price range there are better choices.
Pros: Great balance and great pop--Rawlings did very well with this one.
Cons: ZERO
Pros: Bat has great pop, my 11 year old son hit his first out of the park home run with it. Good balance.
Cons: I got this bat as a replacement from Rawlings for another bat that broke at the handle. This bat lasted about a year but now it's making a sound like the handle is loose inside when you hit with it. My son loved the bat and is very upset that it's broke.
Pros: I bought the 30/18 for my 10 year old. WOW! He went 3-4 with a BOMB to Right Center his 1st game. He loves it, the team loves it. They all are using it now.
Cons: NONE
Pros: Before I got this bat, I had zero hits, then the day I got this gift from heaven, I hit ten homers straight away. This bat is, and will always be the best bat in the universe, No exaggeration. The feel on this bat is like Jesus's pillow, and it sounds like the lyres in heaven itself. I recommend this bat to everyone.
Cons: Nothing

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.
