Average Ratings Based on 40 Customer Reviews
Pros: My 8 year old is swinging the 29/19 and the ball has been jumping off this bat. Bat feels light and redesigned barrel is louisville's best yet. Bat is balanced and has an overall good feel. Exit speed has never been better for son.
Cons: More personal preference than anything but I think the grip could be less slick out of the box. Wrap design is awesome but seems somewhat slick
Pros: This bat has some of the best balance I've seen, easy for my 10 year old to handle.
Cons: Not found any!
Pros: THE BAT HAS GREAT POP AND THE WEIGHT IS VERY BALLANCED. I'VE NEVER SWUNG SUCH A GREAT BAT!!
Cons: NONE FOUND
Pros: tgis bat hits dingers every timw i get a hold of it. It feels amazing and it couldnt get any better. I love this bat and you will too.
Cons: 0
Pros: bat has a lot of pop. my son says it feels light. he likes it.
Cons: none
Pros: My son love the bat, after he star using, he has improved a lot.
Cons: No cons
Pros: General look is great, but too early to assess the bat overall. My son is 12, 5' 3" and weighs 110. So he's small and skinny but has a really fast swing. I wanted a one piece aluminum, it is balanced but he's only had the bat for a few weeks and saw some shots to left but realistically it comes down to the hitter regardless of the bat. I know these websites promote crazy pot but if the hitter isn't a quick thinker or is a "safety first" type of person who doesn't pull the trigger on a pitch then it doesn't matter what kind of bat he has. Which is why I avoided the higher priced items, why buy a Lambo if you live in the wilderness. Parents, buy a bat a kid is comfortable with, light enough to swing and one they feel "one" with and work on their mental approach. Tired of seeing kids with a top heavy Mako and they go 0-3 with 3 K's every single game.
Cons: Doesnt have crazy pop, we've had the S1 and Combat. This one is equal to those.
Pros: Bat seems to have lots of pop right out or box! 12 yr old son 5'5" 115 lbs and swings the 31" 21 really well. The bat seems to be well balanced and so far no complaints of stingers! Like I said the bat has pop and the ball really jumps off the barrel.
Cons: After first cage session some of paint came off but not bad.

Pros: Light, good pop, makes kids feel confident at the plate. Will help any player be able to pull the ball more frequently against good pitching. Frankly, hitting comes down to confidence. This lightweight, big barrel bat will give most players best confidence at the plate.

Cons: none
Pros: Son loves this bat. No vibration, good pop and nice balanced swing. Bought an earlier version of LS, both are identical in weight, length, etc., prefers this bat to the other.
Cons: None so far. However, only been using for a few weeks so too early to tell. Gave four star on durability because we haven't had it long enough to really know. Nice quality bat though.
Pros: So much pop in this bat....Hope the league doesn't ban it for having so much pop! Great lambskin grips that give the bat a great feel without any vibration. My son is only 12, and on his second at bat, hit a homerun to center field over 300ft...Highly recommend this bat!
Cons: None!

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.
