Slugging Pitcher
Pros: Used the demo/prototype. Fantasitc bat! Heavy end for guys who want to hit homeruns. Great grip at the hands. One of the best bbcor bats i have ever swung. I think the sweet spot is enlarged in the barrel because almost every at bat i had i hit the ball solid even when i didnt make perfect contact. I recommend to all getting it! dont look at another bat. Get this one!
Cons: Handle gets dirty quick.

Rip-it prototype- solid bat at a solid price Mike H. player
Pros: This bat has great pop for not being a $300-$400 bat. When I needed to get the most bang for my parents money, theis bat made all the sense in the world. I am lacing the ball over the field and have the piece of mind with that industry leading 400 day unlimited bat warranty.
Cons: Black, white and red is the colors of our biggest rival.

awesome bat unknown player
Pros: amazing pop right out of the package, and a huge sweet spot! I never regret getting this bat and it will last you a pretty long time. This bat gives you that little extra pop to hit it out of the yard, once you get one, everyone will ask to use it.
Cons: nothing really, the grip is white so it gets a little dirty.

High School Baller's Dad Mark S. parent
Pros: Bought this bat for my son last year after much reading of positive feedback on various websites concerning this bat. It didn't take long before this bat was on everyones radar. The pop is crisp and distinct, no vibration or shock and large sweet spot is what i'm hearing from the kids. Now 4 of the 9 starters are using this bat and are hitting better that ever before. I definetly feel like this bat is a game changer..so, I just ordered another one. just in case...:)
Cons: None....wish I had found it earlier
Great Choice!1 Miguel player
Pros: The pros For this bat is the feel, it feels amazing right out of the box, the more you use it the more it performs. It has a great soft grip. Amazing Pop Top Heavy
Cons: The only Con is the color of the grip, It does get dirty fast but I really dont care
Over-all Amazing Value! Wyatt player
Pros: For the money this bat has amazing pop and a really beautiful sound! I've hit well with this bat and noticed a general increase in power in balls that wern't extremely well hit. I've had it about 2 weeks and have a few hundred swings on it with no real chiping in the paint. All in all a great bat though and you can't beat it's price or just bats shipping and customer service!
Cons: It does have a fair amount of vibration and on heavy BP days my hands were cramping towards the end. The end of the handel does have a fairly drastic taper that makes it almost to big for my hands, which are by no means small. (6' 210 lbs)
Great Connor player
Pros: I had this bat for almost two years and it's still in great condition. The feeling of swinging the bat is amazing and can give a great pop. There is no vibration when hitting the ball and the grip feels great. For me, it's worth $100.
Cons: None
