Pros: Love the Miken Rev-Ex but this bat is making me fall in love with LS, best distance I have ever had in a bat.
Cons:
Pros: It is SOOOOOO pretty!!!
Cons: Too bad I haven't swung it yet. Doh!!
Pros: Solid, great grip feels very solid in first use.
Cons: None ;)
Pros: Hot after 50 swings, most true balanced weighted feel of any bat I have ever swung
Cons: Doesn't open the can of raviolis for me
Pros: So far I love the bat, 16-18 isn't bad...it has good pop out of the wrapper.
Cons: I know that there has been questions about the durability so we'll see.
Pros: There was a lot of talk of the RI bats not being as good as the originals. I am here to say that is nonesense. These are awesome, fantastic out of the wrapper and getting better with every 50 hits.
Cons: Don't have any
Pros: hot as heck out of the wrapper one of the best bats i have ever swung broken in or not besides senior league, i would recomend this bat to anyone trying to step there power game up a bit
Cons: iv heard things about the durability mines only got about 25 swings on it so well see...
Pros: Dropped to a 26 due to age. Bat has about 200 cuts on it and is opening up nicely. The balanced model feels perfect. Get you one my friends.
Cons: none
Pros: This bat is hot out of the wrapper. Feels real good for base hitting and a little distance.
Cons: None yet
Pros: Used it in 4 tournaments & have zero complaints. The sweet spot is massive. Vibration is just non existent unless you hit one off the grip... Literally. Also, It's given ME the best distance with softer balls (52/300) than any other bat. And it seemed to start from the first swing.
Cons: No noticeable effect on the performance of the bat, but the first 75 swings or so there was a kind of pingy sound to it.. Since then, it has changed to a nice satisfying crunch.. Never noticed a change in distance. But the sound kinda caught me off guard is all...
Pros: This bat is hot right out of the rapper. dropping bombs with this bat. solid contact where ever you hit it.
Cons: this bat has about pribably about 150-200 swings and the cap is starting to come off a little
Pros: this bat hot out the wrappers but i went throw 4 of these bats.. i think the break way to fast
Cons: break to fast
Pros: Seems durable and a well balanced bat.
Cons: Demarini CL22 or Miken Psyco hotter out of the wrapper and way better exit speed and distance.
Pros: This is a great out of the wrapper bat. Our team has 2 of them and we just took them out of the wrapper this week. Hit with them twice and they are already 90% of the way broken in!
Cons: None
Pros: Hot out of the wrapper tends to be over used but the statement couldn't be any more accurate for this bat. My brother in law has only hit one home run and after using this bat he was easily clearing a 320 foot fence with ease the first round of bp.
Cons: None so far. However have heard of some durability issues, but i haven't encountered any.
Pros: Tried it for the 1st time tonite .. But one Rite after the Game ,Great Bat, Feels Good, Gots alot of Pop, Do you have a 30oz?
Cons: Not to Crazy of the Color Scheme..
Pros: hot right out wrapper, good pop, solid noise
Cons: none yet

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.
