Pros: Bought bat for my daughter as a secondary for practice. Bat sounded dead out of the box. Small barrel offers less sweet-spot to hit with. Rip-it has a 30 day return policy so I sent the bat back for a refund.

Diet Dew

Pros: Very nicely balanced. Large drop for better bat control. The ball jumps off the bat right out of the wrapper. Good price for performance.

Cons: Short barrel. We broke two of these working indoors. Both times we noticed something rattling inside the bat. Rip-It replaced the first bat although I did have to pay to ship it back. When the second broke, I decided to just return it for a refund. Rip-It confirmed it was a piece of epoxy that breaks off and although performance is not affected, an ump may disallow it. Too bad, we liked it.

Pros: Has great pop right out of the wrapper. My 10 year old daughter hits better with this than the Easton Synge and the Demarini Vendetta (although the Vendetta is not broken in yet). Sounds like a wood or composite bat.

Cons: haven't found any yet.

Pros: Daughter loves bat!

Cons: Just as Diet Dew stated, bat broke while working indoors. Something inside starting rattling. RIP-IT stated that this bat is discontinued so looking forward to the new bat.

Pros: Daughter loved the bat. Great feel and good weight

Cons: Noticed something loose in bat at about 6 months of use. Took back to vendor and gave me a new one. They said it was a bad batch but it happened again on second bat. Was very carful with second bat not to use indoors or with pitching machine balls.

Coach

Pros: Nearly took my head off on the first swing. 10U. I was on a bucket 20ft away and the ball popped my glove before I knew it. Cant wait to see what she can do in a game situation.

Cons: Price. I have searched other sites since and found the bat as much as $30 cheaper. Other than that, none yet.

Is his bat approved beyond 2012? I want to make sure that if I purchase I can use in 2013. dmick812

The RIP-IT Elite Light will be legal until September 1, 2013. After that date, the new USSSA stamp is required.
