Pros: Hard maple, end loaded (pro for a power hitter), nice finish, quality feel, good life
Cons:
Al
Pros: Pretty good pop. Nice feel
Cons: Breaks real easy. Cause of the thin handle and big barrel

Pros: My son has used the M9 I13 all high school season and into the summer league, plus plenty of BP. The bat has held up very well and and has plenty of pop. It is quite popular with his team mates as well. I13 bats can be pretty heavy because of the large barrel, so make sure Just Bats sends you one that is approx. -2 or lighter.
Cons: Only 1 color option.
sweet bat Alex L player
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Bad Handle j_harks player
Pros: Nice finish on the bat. Has a cupped end.
Cons: The bat lasted for 6 BP sessions (200 swings) and the first decent hit that I got in a game with it caused the handle to splinter, and I had hit it on the sweet spot.
incredible Yuri Wilcox player
Pros: This bat is awesome. The M9 is a very heavy bat, but if you can get it through the zone (like me), you can totally dominate with it. Personally, I feel like this bat has more pop than my Easton S2 2014. Over all a good bat for someone that has power and wants to use it! And for the smaller guys, buy this bat and go work out!
Cons: -----

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.
