Pros: best pop ever
Cons: white tPE GETS DIRTY
Devilball
Pros: Outstanding balance and pop..son already has BBCOR Air for Jr high ball...and as we thought this is livelier and swings just as fast with bat head control. Great bat for teener and travel ball.
Cons: Handle option - be able to choose thick or thin. Right now it is thick.

Wish I had the 5 star experience. Jake Sitterly parent

another disappointin product John Johnson coach
Pros: Looks pretty cool brand new.
Cons: Second RIP-IT bat I have bought for my son that has broken and he is a youth athlete. Warranty is great but its because they need it. For 250 bucks I'll stick with a brand I can trust. My other players have had similar issues with their RIP-IT products.

Great bat from a great company!!! dwabball parent
Pros: Nice balanced feel, with great sound during contact. My 11 yr old son is using this -5 to begin the transition to BBCOR. This bat feels lighter than other -5 bats.....most likely due to the great balance. Great company with great customer service.
Cons: None
Outstanding Bat!!! Rick R. parent
Pros: Great feel Grip Pop After about 5 swings, I knew this was a good fit by the huge smile on my son's face. Although we have only used in the cages so far (weather), he can not wait to get on the field with it. In my son's words "It' the best bat I've ever swung"!
Cons: None
Awesome Bat!! BC parent

Cons: None at this time

"Rip It" Bob B. parent
Pros: My son plays for 14U Travel team The Hammond Chiefs of Indiana so the bat has and will be battle tested. Purchased this bat with high expectaions and it surpassed them. Large sweet spot from the first swing in the cage it produced nothing but line drives.
Cons: Absolutely none
This bat is a BEAST T player
Pros: I play for the 14U Hammond Chiefs. Bat has Ton of Pop I hit bombs all over the field. This is my 2nd Rip It I also have the Prototype 2 BBCOR bat which I used in middle school ball last fall. Rip It is my preferred bat of choice.
Cons: None
The New Team Bats Coach B coach
Pros: These bats sound different and and the ball jumps off these bats. This past weekend a few players finally put down their favorite bats from another Manf. and picked up the Rip-IT.
Cons: None so far
Great bat!!! JeremyL player
Pros: Has fantastic pop and amazing durability. Bat is a little heavy so i would recomend getting it lighter. Feel and grip is also great.
Cons: The grip is white so it can get dirty.
Does this RIP-IT model have problems? Garrett Reuben player
Pros: Just bats and Rip-It replaced bat without difficulty
Cons: Had problems with this bat. First bat had pop on one side and dead on other side. It broke in half when 13 y/0 used it for first time in game. (Outdoor temp 57) Received replacement bat and dead on both sides. Took it to practice and all agreed. Will not reorder this bat.
My first Rip it Bat Momcilovic parent
Pros: After using for about 10 games my son likes the bat and it has pop to it. The team bunts a lot and he likes the control he has of the bat for bunting and swinging away. He is 13 and would recommend the bat, great bang for the buck.
Cons: None yet.
this bat is no joke ! that dad parent
Pros: We have a bbcor air elite which we like but this bat is crazy good. Wish i would of saved some money and skipped the elite on the bbcor and gotten just the air. Its more ballanced and has a sweetspot that few if any bat can match. Great deals are easy to find since its not an EASTON OR DEMARINI.
Cons: Just wish it had a thinner handle and a smaller knob

I am 13 in eighth grade and 5' 100 lbs. What size do you recommend? ballplayer
Is there any difference between the drop 8 and the drop 5 other than the obvious in terms of weight? With regards to the drop 5, is the sound when contact is made any different? Is there more or less pop in the drop 5 compared to the drop 8. My son has the drop 8 and loves the bat. Looking to purchase the drop 5. Tony
I am thirteen 5 foot 9 inches and weigh 155 pounds. I am not sure if the pop is good for me? Also i play for a 13u travel ball team and just want to hit bombs is this the bat for me? jeremybats
I have a player who's 5'8" 200 lbs. He's only 13. He has a -5 XL1. I think he should be using the XL3. I like the RIP-IT and Marucci Black 2. What do you recommend for a big boy who uses his whole body with a home run swing? I call it the double pivot explosion. jojo
How does the Rawlings VELO compare to this? My son currently swings a VELO -9, and is looking for a bat to transition to a -3. That's why I was checking out the RIP-IT. E
Is this bat considered a big barrel? joangel
Can I use this bat for USSSA? Does it have the stamp? Jeff
