Description

Last season, a revolution was born when RIP-IT introduced their AIR Technology to BBCOR bats. That revolution was built on SPEED, BALANCE, and POWER. This season, RIP-IT takes it to a whole other level with BBCOR AIR Elite. The TWO-PIECE design of the RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite is constructed from an R2 Alloy barrel and R2 Composite handle, giving it even better balance for even faster bat speed. The BBCOR AIR Elite also features RIP-IT's Rifle Barrel Technology. This technological advancement removes weight from the barrel without reducing the overall wall thickness of the bat - keeping durability intact. This is achieved by cutting precise grooves inside the barrel, resulting in dramatically lower M.O.I. nd increasing bat speed. The BBCOR AIR Elite also features an Acoustic Barrel design that channels and amplifies specific performance frequencies to give players a beautiful "ping" sound when good contact is made. Down towards the handle you'll find a Contact Grip that is designed for incredible vibration reduction and extreme durability. RIP-IT is so confident that you'll love this bat, they're offering a 30 Day Love It or Return It performance guarantee. If you don't love your new BBCOR AIR Elite, simply send it back to RIP-IT within 30 days for a full refund. You've got nothing to lose. RIP-IT: Speed Matters! This bat is BBCOR Certfied and legal for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Long time Rip-It user Ian Luttrell player

Pros: This bat perfectly fits my style of hitting, line drives to the alleys and occasionally having the pop to clear the fence. Their customer support is also 2nd to none!

Cons: Hopefully the end cap issue has been taken care off because I really loves this bat.

Really fast bat. UCF Bound 2014! player

Pros: I tried this bat at a demo day in Orlando and I was really impressed with the balance, feel, and performance. The two piece design is the first I tried from Rip-It and it did make the bat a lot more balanced than the other two Rip-It BBCOR bats I tried. With the more balanced feel I could really feel a difference in bat speed and the pop from the added bat speed was very noticeable. Outside of the performance, the love it or return it policy and 400 day warranty are pretty cool. The Rip-It rep also told me that the warranty is unlimited replacements with free shipping. Overall I am putting this bat on the top of my list for next season.

Cons: I took 3 rounds in the cage with the bat and based on that time could not come up with any negatives as far as performance. I did notice however that the white grip will probably get dirty through use.

Rip It? Every Time Harryaz coach

Pros: Amazingly balanced. enormous sweet spot, great pop. Rip It stays ahead of the field in producing the best all around baseball bats on the market. you can't go wrong buying Rip It, especially with their unmatched 400 day love it or return it policy

Cons: i have only heard some models provide more distance or power but if you are interested in distance only artifically created by the bat, go for it. When you have to use wood, you'll find out how strong you really are (not)!

Worth the money! Jason parent

Pros: The bat looks amazing and feels great in your hands. We went up about 2 inches with this new bat and it feels lighter than his previous bat, also a drop 3. The color scheme makes the bat head look really small but holding it up against last years Prototype the bat head/sweet spot is the same size. After the first cage session with it my son was impressed with the amount of pop it had and how balanced and fast it was. Not to mention the sound off the bat is really impressive.

Cons: none yet. Was hesitant about the 2 piece design since up until now Rip It only made 1 piece bats but after the first cage session I'm not concerned about it any more. I'm going to rely on Rip Its amazing warranty and return policy if anything goes wrong.

Very Best BBCO Bat On The Market Craig Nelsen parent

Pros: Soft feel in your hands.,, which generates tremendous bat speed. I bought this bat for my son whose has average hand speed through the swing, the Rip-IT Elite doubled his hand speed through the zone and the ball is now jumping off the bat. Great warranty on this product but you will not be returning this bat. This is the 3rd one we have owned over the last 4 seasons. So if you are looking to improve your OBP but the RIP-IT Elite bat TODAY!!!!

Cons: NONE, this bat was flawlessly designed.

Best Bat EVER!!!!!! Cortlandt Nelsen player

Pros: This is my 3rd RIP-IT bat I have owned and I have loved each and every one of them. This years model is the best! The ball is popping off the bat with a normal swing and the is NO vibration what so ever. You will love the grip and feel of this bat in your hands from the very first time you grip the bat. I have used Demarini in the past but the RIP-IT surpasses all the rest.

Cons: NONE. This bat sets the standard for BBCO bats period!

RIP-IT Air Elite Sam Hardin - Elgin High School player

Pros: Just recently received the new Rip-It Air Elite in 32.5/29.5. The weight distribution of this two piece bat is perfect. I have swung a 5150 32/29 in the past and do not notice a weight difference with the new Air Elite. I will be working to break this bat in before our spring season starts. Excited to get it broken in.

First BBCOR Bat Ron Jones coach

Pros: The transition from 12U to 13U baseball is a difficult one. The move to 60/90 fields along with many leagues require the use of -3 BBCOR bats makes for some very low scoring baseball games. My son is a small/medium contact hitter, but he had his share of homeruns in the past too. I really didn't expect much at the start of this season, but he surprised me. His bat speed is still very fast and has shown great pop with the Rip-it BBCOR Air Elite. He was swinging wood until we purchased this bat and there is a noticeable difference when he makes contact (more consistent contact too). He tried his teammate's bats, but he really likes his Rip-it. I'm feeling a little better about the season ahead and it looks like he is going to make the school baseball team too (not many 7th graders make that cut). Great product and the best warranty in the business! I would definitely recommend this bat! Check back in a few weeks...I will update this post after a couple games/ tournaments.

Cons: None

Always been a Rip-It Fan Spencer player

Pros: I love the balance and overall feel of the bat. The two-piece design provides a great balance and feel to the bat. The color scheme and overall style of the bat is top-notch, including the unmatched, regarding comfort, grip.

Cons: The only, and absolute only dowfall I could find was the sometimes unforgiveness. Over the past month or so, I noticed that hits of the end of the bat, or not perfectly among the sweet spot, were often duds. But, the pop and balance that this bat brings to the table far outweighs this user error.

Unbelieveable! Its amazing!!! Starting Centerfielder player

Pros: This bat has an extremely balanced swing, one of the most as a matter of fact. The grip- The vibration reduction technology passes with flying colors, you can barely feel it if you hit it down on the knob. The sweetspot- This bat has a reasonable sweetspot, not as large as the Easton Mako, but even if you dont hit it on the sweetspot the ball will fly. Conclusion- This bat is one of the best ive used and can out perfrom most other 2-piece bats, I recommend this for contact hitters.

Awesome Bat Austin J player

Pros: I'm playing for 3 teams this Spring, so I'm getting a lot of use from this bat. This is my first year using BBCOR (13U), so I didn't know what to expect. The bat is great! I can feel a difference in the weight from 31/28 vs 31/21 last season, but it hasn't slowed my swing down. The bat has great balance and pop! I'm leading my travel team in AVG, OBP, SLG, and OPS after 30 plate appearances. The season is still young, but I really like this bat!!!!!!!!

Cons: I already purchased a new grip. The white grip looks great, but gets dirty fast.

A GREAT Bat! Oppotaco parent

Pros: This bat swings so light for a -3 BBCOR Bat that it is just amazing. My son is 13, also plays USSSA travel ball where he swings a -10 Combat Portent. The exit speed of the ball with the Rip it is typically as fast or faster than with the much lighter Combat Portent…(measured with the "Ball Coach" Pocket Radar) and is 5 mph faster than with his BBCOR Rawlings VELO. In my opinion, this bat is a real breakthrough in design with the transfer of weight from the barrel to the handle area. This is great for contact hitters and others who need a little more swing speed. The grip design is very comfortable and my son reports little to no vibration. Also…the 30 day "love it or return it" is an amazing offer…and the 400 day warranty with unlimited replacements tells you what kind of company you are dealing with… one that will stand behind its product. My son and I are loving it! Thank you Rip It!

Amazing Bat with loads of pop! Minor issues though Ryan player

Pros: This bat has amazing pop and swings very fast and feels comfortable in the hands! Getting around on the ball was not a problem with this bat. You get it solid and it scorches off the barrel!

Cons: This bat would be even better if the barrel was a bit bigger. Also, the cap of the barrel starts peeling if you get it off the end a couple of times, but nothing to big. For my personal preference, the grip could be red or black so dirt doesn't show as much.

ALMOST perfect ! that dad. parent

Pros: Pop, bat just looks mean, MADE IN AMERICA !!!!!! My son also swings a cf-6 and a 2012 xl-1. He was looking for a non composite bat for those colder months here in Pa. Kept hearing how it was the most balanced bat out there and was surprised to find that it is a little endloaded. Not overlord or xl-1 endloaded but not near as balanced as his cf6. The knob and the handle are a little thick for our liking also. That being said, this is a really nice bat. It seems to be extremely sturdy bat, and even if there is a problem the warrentee is second to none.

Cons: Not as balanced as they lead you to believe. Grip is and knob are a little too thick.

Cons: After a month the cap came loose had no where near the pop it did before. Started hearing noises like a rattle when I set it down, and today it snapped in half at the handle after I hit it off the end of the bat. Went on a limb to get this and didn't last near as long as I had expected.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1403E? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

My son had the 2013 Rip It Air one piece bat. He absolutely loved it and hit it very well. He is a power hitter that hits for average as well. What would be the advantage of someone like him switching to the two-piece RIP-IT Air "Elite"? reefhog
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel. A two-piece bat will have flex to help with bat speed as well as cut down on vibration when he makes contact. The composite handle will also help cut down on vibration.

Will the Air Elite offer more pop or more distance than the one-piece Air? Trying to choose
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite will offer the same balanced swing weight as the one-piece 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR. The difference is the composite handle which will help reduce vibration and add a little more whipping action to your swing. Generally, this whipping action is a performance upgrade over other similar one-piece bats.

Is the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: B1403E Adult or the 2014 Easton MAKO better? I am freshmen playing on the varsity team. I am starting at second base, so I want to be on the lead off hitter for the team. Thomas glod glove
Both the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: B1403E Adult and the 2014 Easton MAKO will be comparable and have light swing weights. The Rip-It is a two-piece hybrid, so it has a composite handle and alloy barrel. The MAKO is a two-piece fully composite design.

What's so different about this model compared to last year's model? jfeil
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: B1403E Adult is a two-piece hybrid design, while the 2013 RIP-IT Prototype BBCOR AIR Baseball Bat: B1303A Adult is a one-piece alloy.

Katie
Does the Air or the Air Elite have more pop? Also, if I'm a power hitter which one should I buy? J
The "pop" on the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: B1403E Adult and the Air will be comparable because they both have to meet the same BBCOR standards. The Air is going to be a one-piece which will give it a stiffer feel making it better suited for a power hitter.

How does this bat compare to Eastom Mako Indians17
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) and the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB14MK) are both quality options that meet BBCOR certification. While both bats are high performing models, they are different in their design and material makeup. The RIP-IT AIR Elite is a two piece hybrid design featuring a composite handle and an alloy barrel. The Easton MAKO is a two piece design as well, but both the barrel and the handle are composite. Player preference would determine which barrel material is right for them. Both bats are state of the art as far as technology and construction and both are capable of high performance within the BBCOR guidelines.
Patrick

Brandon

The 1/2" difference in length and weight in the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) will be minor. You shouldn't notice a big difference in feel between the two.
Kara
What would cause the grip on this bat to separate after three batting practices? My son loves the bat. Should we consider replacing with RIP-IT or just replace the grip? JT
It's hard to say what exactly caused the grip to fail, but both of those options are open to you. Many players end up re-gripping a bat to their preference, and there are a lot of after market grip options out there. But RIP-IT may be able to either send you a new grip or replace it under the 30 Day Guarantee. If your player is a left handed hitter, this may be the issue. The way the grip tape is oriented on the bat is better suited to withstand the friction created by a right handed hitter. Lefties will often run into this issue, and it's better to re-grip the bat in the opposite direction, but I'm not certain if this applies to your situation. You can contact RIP-IT directly at (888) 957-4748.
Mac

How does this bat compare to the CF6? Which one would you recommend? JRK35
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) and the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR (DXCFC) are tough to compare because they are different by design. While they are both top of the line, high performance models, they are made of different materials. The Air Elite features an alloy barrel and composite handle while the CF6 features a fully composite design. Both will offer some flex with the two-piece design and both will adhere to BBCOR standards of performance. The preference for which one you would like would be determined by which barrel material you prefer to use.
Patrick

How does the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR Elite B1403E compare against the Easton Mako? bernie baseball
The Rip-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) is a two-piece hybrid so it has a alloy barrel with a R2 composite handle. It will have a contact grip which eliminates vibration. The Easton Mako (BB14MK) is a two-piece composite bat. It also has a patented ConneXion technology which reduces vibration. Both are great bats and the deciding factor really comes down to personal preference.
Zach
I've heard that the sweet spot is smaller on this bat then on the rip it Prototype Air. Is this true? Matt417
The two-piece design of the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) makes for a more direct taper from the barrel to the handle than on the 2014 RIP-IT Prototype BBCOR (B1403) the actual sweet spot of the bat would be around the same size though.
Patrick
Is the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) a good bat for contact hitters? Starting Centerfielder
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) is a great bat for contact hitters. It combines an extremely balanced swing weight with huge performance and distance ability.

Kelby
Which bat would be considered the lightest swinging bat on the market? Is it possible to choose one overall winner? Jake
I'm not sure if it is possible to choose one overall, as it seems to be largely based on personal opinion, since it's hard to know until you actually get a bat in your hands, and bats can feel different to different people. Personally, I think the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR: BB14MK may be the lightest and best balanced bat out right now.
Kyle J.
My son is 5'9" and 134 lbs., what size bat should he use? Mark

Is the Rip-It Air Elite more for a contact hitter or power hitter? jimmyjohn

Kelby
Which bat would have a lighter swing weight, the RIP-IT AIR Elite or the Easton S2? Also, how would you compare performance between the two? RobbyS
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: (B1403E) will incorporate an AIR balanced swing weight to help increase bat speed and improve control. In terms of weight, the RIP-IT AIR Elite will be one of the lightest bats. Both the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: (B1403E) and 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR: (BB14S2) will be two-piece hybrid designs. The biggest difference will be the materials used in the barrel and handle. If you are looking to generate more power, I would probably recommend the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: (B1403E). The R2 Alloy used in the barrel will be a little bit stronger than the THT100 Scandium Alloy used in the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR: (BB14S2). Overall, both of these models will be high performing, and have also been highly reviewed.
Merritt
Between the Combat Portent and the Rip-It Air Elite, which one would you say is better (pop,swing weight,etc...)? I am more of a line drive hitter, which would be better for me? benfeibus
Both the 2014 Rip-It BBCOR Air Elite (B1403E) and the 2014 COMBAT Portent BBCOR (PORAB103) are both high quality bats with balanced swing weights designed for the contact hitter. However, the Rip-It Air Elite also has a two-piece design that will give it more flex through the zone which is also a preferred characteristic of a good contact hitter bat, while the COMBAT Portent is a one-piece design with less flex.
Kyle J.
How would you compare the performance of this bat to the NVS and also which has a bigger sweet spot? drew
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) and the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS (DXVXC) are both two-piece hybrid designs. They both feature a very low M.O.I. to allow the batter to maximize his swing speed. Each bat is a very good bat and to pick one over the other would be based on personal preference.
Zach
How will the performance of this bat compare to the Voodoo OVERLORD? slugfest
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) is very balanced. It can be used by players who hit for average and power. The OVERLORD is an end loaded model designed for power hitters.

Jason
Is this bat better suited than the Easton S1 for cold weather since it is half alloy, and half composite? baseballapex
Using the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite: (B1403E) is not necessarily safer to use in colder temperatures because of its hybrid design. Any time you use alloy or composite in temperatures lower than 55 degrees, there is always a risk. The balls become denser in colder temperatures increasing the risk of a crack or dent on the barrel. Avoiding certain temperatures is sometimes unavoidable, however, keep in mind both material are at risk.
Merritt
Would you recommend this bat over the Easton S2? I have heard the R2 Alloy is stronger than Easton's THT100 Scandium Alloy increasing the pop and durability. mr.stealyobase
Both the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) and the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR (BB14S2) are good options and both have outstanding durability. The preference between the two would come down to brand preference and the overall feel of the bat. The AIR Elite and the S2 have slightly differing amounts of flex.
Patrick

The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR Air Elite (B1403E) is approved for play in USSSA. It will not have the USSSA thumb print stamp on the bat but it will have the BBCOR stamp on the barrel. USSSA requires the bat to have the thumb print stamp or the BBCOR stamp.
John
I am a power hitter, but still like the feel of a balanced bat. Is this good for me? batter5
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR Elite (B1403E) is a great bat for contact hitters with its balanced swing weight and two-piece hybrid design. As a power hitter that likes a balanced bat, the 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR AIR (B1403A) is a better option with a balanced swing weight. The one-piece design provides a stiffer feel which is ideal for increasing power.
Jason
I'm a power hitter. Would this bat be bad for me? Jackhay13
Many power hitters use an end loaded bat very well, but it totally depends on your preference to design. Some power hitters still prefer a balanced bat like the 2014 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403E) because it allows you to have better control over the bat during your swing. But if you're interested in this bat, RIP-IT actually allows you to try the bat out for 30 days, and send it back to them for a full refund or exchange.
