Pros: awesome,great feel
Cons:
Pros: Solid Great feel Durable (so far) Decent sweet spot
Cons: Not thrilled with the tapered knob and slick handle (very slippery) - will have to load up a lot of pine tar
Pros: My average and power numbers have shot up dramatically. My first maple and the pop off the barrel is significant
Cons: None really....handle is slick but I added a rubber wrap which really completes the great feel and really helps during days with high humidity.
Pros: GOOD BALANCE AND GOOD POP
Cons: NONE
Pros: all around great bat. it has good pop and balanced weight. i prefer it over my old mizuno bamboo bat.
Cons: has a thin handle so if i hit too far inside it might breaK
Pros: Great Bat, nice pop and great sound. Very easy bat to swing, feels slightly end-loaded but not extreme like some other bats.
Cons: Many have talked about the slick handle. While I agree, its nothing a little pine tar won't fix. Also, was disappointed that the "M9" logo is a sticker on the bat, not actually engraved.
Pros: Balance is great and its light. Nice pop. Handle feels amazing just use it or tar it up and it will be fine. Not so heavy
Cons:

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
