Pros: This bat is great. Lightweight improves bat speed. Balanced weight keeps my daughters swing level. She hit two off the wall last night in a 14u indoor tournament.
Cons: Trying to keep the other girls from using my daughter's new bat.
Pros: Ordered this bat with free shipping and received it in less than 24 hours! My 11 year old hasn't hit with it yet, but says it looks/feels much better than the Worth bat we swapped it for. I may bump the rating up to a 5 if she likes the bat.
Cons:
Pros: My daughter has been playing for 8 yrs now & has used many bats. This is the best bat she has ever used, at a great price. The more expensive bats are not necessary. This bat is lightweight for a faster, more controlled swing. It helps your daughter keep the bat level for a more powerful swing. If needed, the bat also shows where your daughter where the sweet spot is, to help maximize her hit. The lightweight helps to control bunting too. Buy this bat, she won't regret it. Make sure you get the right size for your daughter though... that makes a difference too! My daughter is 12 & bought 32", but she's built up the arm muscles to handle the size.
Cons: Aside from many girls liking the bat too, there are no cons at this time.
Pros: Got this bat in december, just used it yesterday, great bat, nice and light for a greater bat speed. also has a nice ping when the bat comes in contact with the ball. the price is amazing. buy this bat!
Cons: none so far
Pros: Light weight bat. Faster swing speed. Everyone had to test it including parents and coaches. If something happened to this bat I would overnight another one.
Cons: No cons!
Pros: Light weight, good grip
Cons: Non
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Great balance. Good price & fast shipping.
Cons: N/A
Pros: The length and lightness of the bat are great for making contact with the ball. It is also great for hitting the gaps in the outfiekd for base hits.
Cons: The ball just doesnt jump off the bat even close to how the ball comes off a composite bat. Have had other alloy bats with better action but still like the bat. Not for distance.
Pros: Weight distribution, pop, feel. My daughter is on her second season in 8 U using this bat. She LOVES it. Half of her team is now using her bat and everyone is hitting better. Wish I had bought it when it was on sale but honestly it was a great buy even at full price!
Cons: None
Pros: My 13 y/o daughter absolutely her new bat. It is a bit lighter than her old bat but her batting at the plate has definitely improved!
Cons: None whatsoever.
Pros: I ordered this bat on Tuesday after my daughters practice at 8:30pm we received the bat on Thursday morning that was with the free shipping!!! When my daughter got home we went out and practiced with her new bat. She hit the ball further with a lot more power than usual. She was overly impressed. She is just starting U12 indoor this weekend cannot wait to see how she does
Cons: None!! Order came quicker than I thought and bat was just as advertised. I will order more equipment from here guaranteed.
Pros: bat is super light, my daughter has this bat and 2 of the S series bats and this is the one she pulls outta the bag 8 of 10 times, she absolutely loves it.. bought 2 more just like it for team bats
Cons: none
Pros: My girls love this bat. It is solid, nice feel, and pop. They play competitive ball and it seems to me this bat is on par with any legal composite bat.
Cons: A bit of sting when hit on handle. Other than that nothing.
Pros: Lightweight, even feel and good grip
Cons: Ordered one, used at one tournament and 1 practice and saw it was dented. Returned and received replacement and at first batting practice it was dented.
Pros: ok so i have had this for 2 years and i love it!! im and 11 yr old player and im very tall. i can get distance on it. it is one of the best easton bats i have ever had and i have been playing 5 years 9 seasons!! all the girls on my team use it and love it!!
Cons: i hit hard so sometimes it has scuffs); also it has a sting but my batting gloves help that
Pros: Bat is definately for my small daughter. She is 7 and maybe 50 pounds. She was having trouble using the cheaper bats because of the small hitting areas and they were also not balanced and a little heavy. I got her the 28/15 and she swings HARD! She has used it in 2 games now and is 4/6 and the ball comes off with pop for such a little thing. The other 6-7 year olds are using it now and they all got around better and made solid contact with this bat as well. If I could give it 6 stars I certainly would
Cons: That I didnt get it last season
Pros: Great bat for the price. Daughter likes the feel. Bought it a bit big to allow room to grow. Just chokes up.
Cons: Having to wait for daughter to grow into bat to really see it work
Pros: Bat was great until it snapped in half
Cons: Snapped in half at the handle (below the collar) after less than a month of light use.
Pros: Has good pop
Cons: Not very durable. My 10 year old had 3 girls on her team with this bat. All three bats had dents all over the barrel within 1 month after purchase. None of the bats were used for BP.
Pros: im a 14u asa player and i love this bat. i initially bought it as a second bat, but i ended up loving it more, because of its pop. as soon as you make contact you can be garenteed that its going somewhere. its very lightwieght which is good for when you face faster pitchers, but because of its massive sweetspot even if you hit it early it wont be a bad hit
Cons: none
Pros: Good balance. Wide sweet spot. Excellent grip. She's 4 for 4 this week since she got it this week. Better pop than her last bat which is a composite.
Cons: I'll let you know if I find any.
Pros: Little vibration Great grip Awesome design Little breaking in Great feel Great sound Durable
Cons: Need batting gloves Blisters
Pros: the color, the look.
Cons: it just doesnt make contact the way it should. i think the bat is too light for this age U10.
Pros: Great length to weight Ratio for lil batters learning their swing. Seems to maintain control throughout the swing and able to catch up with quicker pitches in 10u.
Cons: Not yet..
