Pros: So far so good. My daughter loves this bat. She tried her friends bat before we made the purchase so we already knew she would like it.
Cons:
SB Dad
Pros: I have bought several other big $$$ bats with big names over the years for my daughters. No other brand has the POP that Anderson has. Balls just fly farther!
Cons: The knob on the end is much smaller than every other brand. I recommend buying the knob wrap from thier web site.
Coach dad
Pros: This bat is well worth it. Has wonderful pop out the box. My daughter is a power hitter and once used the synergy which she loved but now has chosen the rocket tech as her number one bat now. She is a 10 year old that has hit a 200 ft fence twice without a bounce I am sure that she will soon get it over with this bat. Thank you technology. I recommend for power hitters.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: My granddaughter is 14 and this bat has increased her bat speed which in turn has helped her in placing the ball in other places on the field, she really likes this bat. Thanks Just Bats and Anderson
Cons:
AFB
Pros: Great Bat... This is the second one purchased for my daughter. Loved the first one, just needed a heavier one.
Cons:
Spencer
Pros: Have only had one good hit which allowed for a double
Cons: Nothing special otherwise. Not the powerhouse bat I was hoping for.
spencer
Pros:
Cons: I just bought this one to replace my 2011 with the bullet proof end cap....the end cap that exploded and fell off after only a few months of use.

Pros: My daughter was shock at the pop the first time she used it. She has been pleased with it. She now sees a difference between types of bats. First time I have bought a high dollar bat.
Cons:
Ash
Pros: The best Bat EVER! Has all of the POP you can imagine. Helps with those big hits teams need
Cons: NOTHING! Well unless all you do is bunt then it is like a grounder, but who needs to bunt if you can hit?
Am Pam
Pros: Lots of pop !!!!!!
Cons: Becomes rectangular in shape after a few months
Nat
Pros: POWER,,,, bat has good balance and if you can swing a -9 you will love this bat. Daughter went 8-11 with 4 HR over a 220fence oh ya she is 14U
Cons: just the minus -9 be nice if it came in at a -10
JCat20
Pros: Really is an amazing bat! It gets a lot of air on the ball to send it right to the outfield! I really recommend it! No other bat can do just what this one does and that's from years of experience.
Cons:
klbii
Pros: My daughter (Senior) loved the Rocketech. She had previously used the Nanotech and Easton Stealth throughout her high school career. She had used the 32/22 for both. She had no problems adjusting to the heavier feel of the end loaded Rocketech and that was despite the fact she moved up to a 34/23. She loves the feel and the way the ball jumps off her bat with a little more authority.
Cons: None
Anthony
Pros: I like everything. It just an all a round good bat.
Cons: Nothing.
coach big D
Pros: I am blessed with a 5' 11" 13 yr.old. Once she got used to an end loaded feel, it was on! 2012 ended with 13 over the fence, longest was 237 feet! Great bat! Long life, no break in time, not as affected by temps.
Cons: End loaded feel may feel heavy for starters. If you have to bunt, the player will have to know how to control placement or the ball will carry to infield quick!
Pollock
Pros: Since the RockeTech, her hitting has a lot more power behind it.
Cons:
C$ dad
Pros: Has really good pop, but dosent last long, my duaghter has broken 2 of them
Cons: Dosent last long with a strong hitter, I have returned it 2 times, the first time they supposedly repaired it but still sounded dead, this time im still waiting for the bat, hopefully they replace it or give me my money back
FP Dad
Pros: Daughters first experience with rocketech was in 10u, She hit her first home run,over the fence. 5 years later she is on her 3rd rocketech. Last year she got ls xeno she liked the swing but she just couldn't get the pop so she went back to her Rocket tech. Just purchased her 3 rd. If you are a power hitter and on our team get the rocketech your slugger percentage is going up, if not on the team stay with the bat you have!
Cons:
softballswag
Pros: I got this bat for Christmas in 2012 and I love it! The ball goes way farther with this bat and it has more pop. I have hit more balls to the outfield than I have with my DeMarini.
Cons: It is a really heavy bat and you need to have a lot of strength to use this bat. Also if you don't hit it on the sweet spot then it really hurts your hands and the sweet spot is not very large.
bbqboy KC
Pros: didnt know if i could believe all the reviews but i did know we broke in with rocketeck at 10s and got many years out of that bat .Then she wanted all the latest craze bats break ,break,break, back to the trusty Rocketech ordered on weds got it on thursday @300 second at bat thursday night high school game wayyyy over the fence last night two triples lovin Rocketech more and more every day .Not sure why we left but now we are in 16-18s and will stay with the one that brought us
Cons: Should have bought it many years ago
TMF
Pros: Have a strong daughter? This bat is for them. Great whip action. Turns warning track power into HR trots.
Cons: Small handle, can take some getting used to.
GA Dad
Pros: Got this bat for my daughter 12U, it took a few swings to get use to the end loaded bat. Once she got the feel for it, it was all over. She is driving the ball to the outfield ever time. By the way, she is 11!!!!!
Cons: NO CONS HERE!!!!
fastpitchcoach
Pros: BIG sweet spot. Great pop from first swing, great bat.
Cons: Have not found any cons.
Proudpapa Kal Daniels parent
Pros: I was not sure of all of the hype surrounding this bat. I have been around softball for more than 25 years, so I was very doubtful. My daughter did get this bat for a birthday present, and proceeded to hit a homerun in a tournament game with a 300 foot fence. I believe now.
Cons: Should have got the bat sooner.
Good bat Mekaylee Beard player
Pros: I have used many of the other Rocketechs. This one is by far the best. I love the feel of the and how It's weighted. I would recommend this bat to any power hitter!!!!
Cons: My Only issue with this bat is the little handle. If you get this or any other Rocketech bat you should get a bat handle.
Another RT... Parent parent
Pros: Daughter broke her HS and county record last year using RT bats...pop and distance...just bought a 34" for college.
Cons: She hits for power and has had to send them back because of dents...the warranty comes in handy.

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
