great pop, not durable USC fan parent
Pros: Great pop and no break in peroid
Cons: 10 yr old power hitter cracked 2 bats within a month, had to wait in replacement.
Amazing bat but not durable Stephanie Dudley parent
Pros: This bat has the most amazing pop of any bat on my 12-year-old son's team. The weight distribution is perfect for his swing as well. The bat he had before this one was much heavier at the end and he was not hitting well with hit. Since we got him the Mach his batting average is much higher and he's hitting more to the fence than before. My son really likes this bat.
Cons: Unfortunately, the bat is not durable. We've had 3 of these bats break within a year. The first two cracked and then the end of the handle broke off in his hand with the last one. We're really disappointed because it's a great bat when it doesn't break.
Greatest bat ever A decent player with a Great Bat player
Pros: I barely have to swing hard and the ball flies. I've always had some pop but i recently hit one 284 feet. We measured. Im 12 and about 5 ft tall. I definately recommend this. Super Amazing!!!

Pretty Good PandaMan13 coach
Pros: This is a really good bat. It has Great pop and good balance. My 12u team has a player that used it. Pretty soon they all used it. Great bat. You want to hit bombs? Get this bat.

Did My Son Wonders Stephen parent
Pros: Can't rave about this enough, amazing! My son crushed the ball!. he hit 9 homeruns in a 20 game season! he didn't hit one last year! great bat.
Cons: My son complained about a little sting but otherwise good.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
