It'll surprise you Softbawwl player
Pros: I bought this bat used from a buddy. He put around 50-75 swings on it before selling it to me. (He's not going to be playing as much this year). I have been hitting 52/300's. & the bat responds surprisingly well. Honestly, I didn't expect much from this bat. But man, this thing has some serious pop. I feel like I found a diamond in a rough. If you get a chance, buy this bat. It will surprise you.
Cons: (This is completely subjective) In my opinion, the bat is ugly as sin. I mean, it looks plastic. Like something you'd buy from Wal-mart for $20... It performs a heck of a lot better than it looks though.
HOT BIG GATOR player
Pros: DON'T OWN THIS BAT BUT A TEAM MATE HAD 1 WITH ABOUT 10 SWINGS ON IT HE TOLD ME SWING IT WAS HOT OUT THE WRAPPER NICE BAT
Cons: IT WASNT MY BAT NOW I NEED TO FIND ONE FOR A GOOD PRICE
Disappointed BG player
Pros: Bat had crazy pop right of the wrapper with no break in time at all.
Cons: The durability is a huge issue. I received this bat as a Christmas present and finally got to take it out this May for some BP. Unfortunately I never got to use this in a game because it broke right in half after only 4 practices. This bat wasn't purchase through justbats.com, but through another online retailer. I've been trying to claim warranty through them as well as Louisville Slugger directly ever since and have yet to get any kind of results. I expected a lot more from Louisville Slugger and am very disappointed.

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.
