Pros: this bat is amazing. if you hit with it you would think it was BESR not BBCOR. the bat has amazing pop. before i had this bat i had the exo grid 2, and that bat is nothing compared to this one
Cons: nothing at all!!!
Bat Enthusiasts
Pros: Best BBCOR out there hands down. My son has tried most of the big name BBCOR bats out there and honestly they do not compare to the Anderson bat.
Cons: The only con I have heard with the limited people who are aware of how good this bat is that some have experienced some dents. Even with the dents the bat seems to still proform. The dented bats have been replaced.
Irish
Pros: Great bat! Like larger sweet spot and smaller handle. Improves speed and gets more bat on the ball.
Cons:
Johnny Clean Up
Pros: Amazing performance. I have got more pop and distance with this bat than the other 3 BBCOR bats I bought. Anderson has another winner with this one. I don't get the denting thing people have talked about. I'm 6'1" and 205 lbs. and I have over 800 cuts on this beauty and it doesn't have one dent.
Cons: None, Spectacular piece of equipment.
Nick
Pros: Definetly a power hitter bat..solid contact and a HUGE sweet spot better then DiMarini...a little end heavy but nice balanced swing, hits well off handle.
Cons: Small knob
davebo21
Pros: The Ignite has a nice endload without feeling like a log. Thin handle adds to the ability to swing fast and get the hands into hitting position quickly. Sweetspot is smallish compared to BESR but that is expected. Mishits still get through infield quickly but hit it square and the ball will fly. My son is a HS JR and he hit farther and more consistantly far than with his old BESR bats. I didn't know what to expect with BBCOR but was pleasantly surprised with the pop and distance out of the Ignite. If you like moderately endloaded one piece bats I would highly recommend this bat. Two thumbs and two big toes up.
Cons: Small knob took two bp sessions to get used to rubbing pinky differently. But 4 games and 1 week later no trouble at all.
thomas
Pros: Very good pop. i like how smooth this bat is. it has a very big barrel with a thin wall. very awesome.
Cons: the griptape is not good.
swung plenty
Pros: Best BBCOR out there period. Ball comes off the bat fastest when compared to other bats in the BBCOR field. Good sound too.
Cons: None
Burger
Pros: None.
Cons: HUGE dent first day I used it. Would not buy again. Was this bat made to hit wiffle balls??? Unbelievable.
mike
Pros: thin handle + end loaded = one of the best bats ive ever used..may actually be better then my BESR CF4... seriously best bat ive ever used 2 games 2 bombs.. this bat has crazy pop. no lie. i know this sounds crazy but dont overspend on some CF5 junk... get this .. u will be in shock at how good it is.. heck my whole team uses it now.
Cons: only thing is it has a small dent, ive only used it for about a week and a half, but i think thats a good thing bc that means thinner alloy? and more trampoline if u ask me.
HV Baseball Dad
Pros: Awesome pop. No difference from BESR
Cons: Going on 3rd one because of dents. Did not take long to dent each time. Last time was in a cage - maybe 55-60 MPH. They better replace AGAIN.
ftrstr
Pros: This bat is a great bat for any one looking for a good priced and great performing bbcor bat. The bat has some pretty wicked pop for bbcor, some coaches ask me what type of bat im using when im hitting. This bat is the best kept secret, if you want a great affordable bbcor bat then get this bat now!
Cons: If you hit it off the handle then you will dent it for sure, i know two other people who had it and dented it hitting off the inside part of the barrel but warranty replacement held up great!
frhurt5175
Pros: Good bat overall
Cons: Bat got dented with 3 games in the season,call Anderson Bat and the do not want exchange the bat
mark
Pros: Great POP Large Sweet-spot More balanced than other BBCOR
Cons: Dented after 8 games, but so did my son's Anderson KXR last year. They replaced last 1 and I expect same here. But, it takes a few weeks. They dent with normal use... or at least ours have. But we like them...
new to anderson bats
Pros: This bat hits very well, I like the sound too. have not had the chance yet to swing in the game but i am sure it will be awesome. (Only in BP i got to swing it)
Cons: None Yet......
batpackjack
Pros: I like this bat it is a top aluminum bat nice endcap
Cons: Dents Swings pretty end heavy i dont like the handle personally
formerAndersonused
Pros: Balls fly off this bat
Cons: Dents easy, but I'm pretty sure it's called a performance wave, because the orginal Texzilla they made dented but it came with a piece of paper saying the bat isn't dented it gets performance waves till it's broken in.
Burbank
Pros: Great bat, lots of pop.
Cons: Small knob. I dented three of these bats. I brought it back every time until the guy at my local store just got tired and gave me a different bat.
pitch4life
Pros: A balanced bat to be used for a player with no power!
Cons: Don't buy this bat! It's a dud. I replaced 3 of them for my son in the last 18 months. Yes, the manufacturer took them back each time under warranty, but the last one he dented again and popped the cap partly off. The ball no longer jumps off of the bat after only 2 months of swinging a brand new one! My son is now swinging a Marucci Team and hit the 370 ft. sign in Right field and doing it as a right handed batter! Way to go Marucci!

Rogers
Pros: Few
Cons: This is a terrible bat! First one dented with little game use, Anderson replaced and we had same problem - significant dents with about 15-20 games. Waste of money - Anderson would not stand behind second bat - they said sorry warranty only good for first one not replacement... Never buying their product again.
Jake The Leadoff
Pros: Great bat. It has lots of pop and hits great out of the box. I was surprised how good it feels when it swings because I like the bigger knobs. But I loved this bat.
Cons: So far I haven't found any.
Kalieb
Pros: NONE.
Cons: This is the worst bat that I have ever used. There is no pop and the handle feels like a toothpick.
Good bat Scott player
Pros: Good pop. Awesome grip and knob. Good size sweet spot
Cons: I have the 2012 Ignite XS 34 31 with the black cap and knob. Definitly not balanced like some people say. Easton Xl and S series is definitly more balanced. Dont know if the new clear cap makes a difference.
If jesus played baseball he would use this bat flowerboy10 player
Pros: This is the best bat i have used. I saw the price and made the decision to buy this bat with my own money. It was a big risk for me and i wasn't sure what to expect. It sat there the first day in my room and i just couldn't stop thinking about hitting with it. When i went to hit with it I swung and i had a feeling comparable to hitting a ball with a wood bat perfectly. The greatest feeling in the world. Its not like all these mainstream bats that make a small thud when hit. This back makes a great sound. I can not believe how good it is. A HUGE steal
Cons: Durability. It breaks once about a year. but it doesnt matter cuz its half the price of the MAKO.

About the Brand
A High-Tech Engineer, a Sales Manager for a chemical company, and a Professional Yacht Racer with a background in mechanical engineering are not likely to have much in common. But they did, and still do. You guessed it…SOFTBALL.
Our passion for “Diamond” sports goes back many years, but it was about 10 years ago that we started manufacturing and private labeling our bats for other companies. In 1999, Steven Anderson designed a new multi-wall high-performance bat that featured our patented “Power Arch” technology. After thorough testing, it was ready for the company that we designed it for, but they were going through a transition period and were not ready to move on it.
Here was the bummer, our team was counting on using these bats in a big tournament that was just a month away and we could not put their graphics on the bats until the deal between the two of us was inked.
Steven offered a solution … they are already certified by the governing bodies so why don’t we put our own graphics on them and use them in the tourney. What a great idea and that is exactly what we did.
I was driving to the plant the next morning wearing my championship “T” shirt and had no idea that when I arrived at 6:30 am that the message machine would be filled and the phones would be ringing. The messages and the calls were all basically the same … “How do I get my hands on one of those new Anderson Techwraps”?
That is how it started, and since then we have released the FlexTech, FastTech, RocketTech, TechZilla, Pyrotech, and we are not done.
Let me tell you a little secret……THE BEST IS YET TO COME…GO DEEP, GO VERY VERY DEEP
