chris
Pros: Perfect bat
Cons:
Marty
Pros: This bat has an incredible amount of pop! i was skeptical at first because of the fact that the alloy in this bat is lower grade than the regular cat 5. I soon realized that there was no reason to be skeptical. In my first at bat i hit a home run. I went 3 for three in that game. This bat is great for Power hitters. Also the shipping was great! I ordered it on Sunday and got in on Wednesday!
Cons: Paint has chipped a lot considering my three game use so far. However you wont regret buying this bat for $80!

Pros: I bought the bat for my son to use on his 13u team. The bat has a lot of pop to it. I got a great price on the bat and I am glad I got it for him.

Swing BBCOR
Pros: Hot bat, drop 5 with same paint job as BBCOR model and "PRE" placed before BBCOR in same font, coincidence?
Cons: Cleverly marketed by Marucci for transistioning 13s but swung by many "elite" 14s who want to swing a hotter bat in tourneys that allow 1.15 that looks like the BBCOR model. Do your kid a favor, get him a BBCOR as early as he can swing a drop 3, swinging this too long is just an illusion.
johnny
Pros: great pop no sting
Cons: none
