Pros: Simply Great! My son is cracking the ball (it takes off) and sounds great coming off the bat. No vibration and new grip feels solid. He loves it.
Cons: None. Just buy it and you will see how different this one is.

Twins2003
Pros: This bat has tons of pop and my twins are hitting like crazy with it! Would highly recommend.,.
Cons: It's a little expensive but we will see if it pays off in the long run...
RC
Pros: Ball really jumps off this bat. Has a different sound than a traditional composite. Very crisp almost a ping. Most of the team is using it and are very comfortable and happy with it. Very light. Highly recommended.
Cons: none so far
Ryan
Pros: Great pop off the bat. It feels good to the swing.
Cons: I know of 4 kids who had fairly new bats cracking at about the TPX part of the bat. I think L.S. has a major problem with this bat just like their ONE-X bat they had a recall on. For this reason I give it a poor review.
chris
Pros: Awesome pop and lightweight.
Cons: My Attack tee ball bat cracked early on. Just thought I was using it for machine pitch but my softball bat cracked too very early so it has to be defect. my son has just got the 28 Attack for travel ball see how long it last. Awesome pop though...
Coach Frank
Pros: No Sting. Louisville Slugger customer service is the best.
Cons: Had something loose in the bat. Sent back and had something loose in the barrel on second bat. Told my kid to use anyway and in 1 month it cracked at the rubber ring.
ThatDrakeKid
Pros: Very easy to get the bat around. Feels very light, so it's easy to control.

Pros: My son and I love this bat. It broke in easy (200 soft toss roating quarter inch), great pop, well ballanced, just as good as the easton s1 for less money.
Cons: none yet, people with problems with this bat probably did not break it in properly.

Does this bat require a break-in period? Coach Frank
What is the difference between the Louisville Slugger Attack and the Easton S1? Bren
My son is 4'7" and 71 lbs. He currently uses a Easton Reflex 30" -13. He has plenty of bat speed but there just dosen't seem to be a lot of pop. Would I be better off with theTPX Attack YB13A in a 29" 17 oz? I guess I would perfer the 30" so he could get a couple years out of it. Would this bat provide the pop we're looking for? Thanks G

What do you mean by " rotating the bat a quarter of a inch every swing" in break in period. TSRBBall15
Does this bat, or any other high end little league approved composite manufacturer (Combat, Demarini, etc...) have a 28 or 29 inch version? My son is smaller ( 9 years old & 70lbs 52 inches tall) and could use the additional pop of a composite bat but I'm having trouble finding a highly rated model in his lenght/weight range. He has a 28", -10, 18 oz 2 5/8" Demarini Vexxum c6ix composite that he absolutely mashes the ball with but it is of course not little league approved. Mac

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.
