Kaboom! Hawks player
Pros: Huge barrel. Wow, unbelievable.
Cons: I haven't owned long enough to test durability.
bad hitter wes duncan player
Pros: puts a bad hitter in the zone long
Cons: hurts an avg hitter or good hitter lose all wrist action
Not a gimmick, just a 'makes sense' great design. Owen S. from "North" player
Pros: Easy swing adjustment, comfortable bat because of it's no-nonsense design to the handle. It makes for an easy transfer of your core power to the extention of the bat. Your swing is made so easy to adjust because of lack if the 'knob edge' jamming into your palm. Just like its namesake, the "AXE" accomplishes it's purpose, and without having to be turned around constantly. Think about it. Why don't they have a knob on a real Axe handle? The answer is painfully obvious/simple. Because it would be uncomfortable, and its accuracy diminished. It's such a common sense approach to the design of a quality bat. Why it took so long for somebody to apply it to a bat handle is a mystery. This is no training bat, its a real, technically sound approach to making a "better mouse trap". We have 4 AXE bats. The L-180 hard maple comp. for batting cages, AND wood bat leagues, the 'Avenge' for High School, the 'fungo', and the short training bat. All the 'haters' have become big fans after using them.
Cons: The only 'con' is overcoming the 'stigma' of being something "new". If you aren't a good hitter, stop glaring at the bat after hearing "strike 3". Its you, not the bat. (;-)
Change is GOOD Owen/Oats Toms River player

Cons: 300+ swings and had to replace grip tape. That's all folks.
Just OK LBJ_0661 player
Pros: Great marketing story around the knob shape is pretty cool
Cons: Aside from taking a little while to get used to the new knob design, the bat is just ok. Pop and feel are very average and probably not worth the $400
Axe bats Step player
Pros: Decent pop for a bbcor bat but there are better. Little vibration unless you get severely jammed. Increased bat speed.
Cons: Feels awkward if this is your first time using them. The bat really does change your swing path, but if you've been swinging Easton's all your life it can be quite a shock and adjustment to get used to. Increased bat speed makes it hard for the barrel to stay in the zone very long.

About the Brand
Launched by Baden Sports in 2011, the Axe line of bats was hailed as a breakthrough in bat technology by players and coaches from youth leagues to the Pros. The makers of the Axe line of bats often pose the question, "What does your traditional knob do for you?" Most players don't have a good answer. Axe engineers have created a handle that is not only more comfortable and safer in terms of hand injuries, but also helps improve the hitter's swing by keeping them on an even plane. Although Axe is new to the market, they are backed by Baden Sports, Inc., an independent, family-owned company that has been making baseball products since 1979. Their passion to create a better game is unparalleled, making it no surprise that the Axe handle is set to be baseball's next big thing.
