Description

If being a Force at the plate is your aspiration, then the ALL NEW RIP-IT FORCE is the bat for you. Designed by two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and ASA Hall of Fame legend Michele Smith, the RIP-IT Force redefines bat performance. This bat is not just a redesign of a previous bat, but a whole new evolution in bat technology. RIP-ITs double wall tempered ballistic alloy blend is a new bat material designed by RIP-IT that is superior in both performance and durability when compared to composite and aluminum bats. This alloy blend feels and sounds like a composite bat, but requires no break-in and is hot right out of the wrapper. The blend also allows RIP-IT to adopt a full-barrel flex technology which achieves a maximum flex along the entire length of the barrel, making the barrel one giant sweet spot. The weight in the barrel is also precisely distributed throughout the barrel to ensure that the barrel "whips through" the strike zone to contact the ball with maximum bat speed for unbelievable power transfer. Vibration Dampening Micro-Layer technology inside the barrel and the taper of the bat works to eliminate vibration in the bat. The Micro-Layer makes sure that all the energy available is transferred to the ball and not to your hands. Less wasted energy means the ball really jumps off of this bat. If you want to be a Force at the plate this season, put this new evolution of bat technology to work for you. RIP-IT also offers a "Love It or Return It" Guarantee that allows players to purchase a RIP-IT bat and try it for 30 days. Within these 30 days if the player is unhappy with the performance of the bat they can return it to RIP-IT for a refund of the purchase price. When performance matters, just RIP-IT! Free Shipping!

Pros: Great pop, my 12 year old is landing balls on the warning track with the 33" version. Grip is still very good after more than 3 seasons.

Cons: End loaded maked it harder to catch up to fater pitchers. Paint finish not as durable as some other bats End cap came out about 1/16", so there is a small gap between the plastic and barrel.
