Pros: Solid Line Drive Base Hit Bat. LET IT RIP. Played with it last night. A few other teammates hit with it and continued to the rest of the game.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: I ordered the bat on tuesday and it arrived that Friday. I used it in a game the following Monday had one at bat and hit a triple. One other teammate used the bat and liked it also. Can't wait until our next game so I can use it again!!
Cons: I'm pretty sure it's not ASA approved with a 2 5/8" in barrel

Pros: there arent any- unless you play with a 16 inch softer clincher ball league which are not around my way, normal softball leagues do not permit this bat because the diameter of barrell is too big
Cons: this bat causes so much problems because it says official softball on it, we had to buy the ring that goes over the barrell to measure it

Pros: None
Cons: This bat did not meet softball regulations due to the large diameter of the barrel. The best action I got out of this bat was at the cage!
Clinch It
Pros: Great bat for Clincher balls. I play in a league up here in Chi-town and this bat is a favorite.
Cons: People who give it 1 star because they didn't realize it wasn't ASA approved.

I bought this bat thinking it would be ASA approved. I wasn't able to use it so I was wondering if I could return it for credit and if so do you have any wooden bats that are ASA approved for around the same price. Thank you. Rob

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.
