Pros:
Cons: Although the customer service is great, the bat did not work out so well. Bat #1 cracked after my son used it in the batting cage for only the second outing. Bat #2 cracked the first time in the cages.
Pros: Bat is nicely balanced so my 8 yr old son handles it well. Good pop off the barrel. Great for training and game use. Has not broke a bat in the last 2 years.
Cons: Like any other wood bat, its prone to break. If your child is not disciplined at the plate and is used to a metal bat using a wood bat will be an issue at first.
Pros: Great pop and nice feel. Every batting cage session I hit better with wood than metal
Cons: Sometimes stings

Pros: Bat was as expected. A good thing. Nice sound/pop with contact. My son was excited to use it. We bought a similar bat, but lighter, for my younger son to also use in winter/hitting off tee/bp.
Cons: So far, no complaints. Price shopped after the fact, but justbats will credit, so that's not really a bat issue.
Pros: Great bat, awesome pop, lightweight, had it for over a year.
Cons: It broke 2 days ago, so I have to get a new one.
Pros: Great bat.
Cons: Mine has broken after a year, a lot of you guys are saying it broke quickly, the sticker is supposed to face up, because thats where the strongest spot is.

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.
