the cap fell off Steve McGee player
Pros: great pop, feels great, and not bad vibration
Cons: cap fell off, wasn't too happy!
Strong contact hitters delight! Kevin O coach
Pros: Drives the ball well. Tough. Made in USA. Looks great. Long barrel = a lot of sweet-spot. Longest warranty I've seen. Relatively balanced mass WILL drive the ball. It's a keeper and won't be our last!
Cons: After purchasing the '13 Prototype AIR as my 14U's first BBCOR bat -- and noting that he was having a lot of problems handling pitches out of his "perfect" zone -- we realized that the swing weight might still be on the heavy side for him. He made much better contact down in the count, choking up on the bat, than he did while making an offensive swing. He is 14 - 5'8" and about 150 lbs. and we bought a 32". Switched to a bat with a slightly lighter swing-weight (we dry swung a bunch) and the problem has resolved. We will keep the Rip-It and re-visit it as my son gets a little stronger through winter workouts.
