Pros: Great bat no cons!!
Cons:
Pros: so far so good son has just been hitting off of tee to get thru break in period was hoping for the great bat like last years and i believe it will be only difference i went with 2 1/4 not 2 5/8 will post again after done using tee
Cons: white grip went ahead and purchased different color grip
Pros: Bought the 29 in for my small 9 yr old. This is an excellent bat. Very Good POP for the $$$$$
Cons:
Pros: my son has completed the break in period and i am pleased my son is 7 he has the 28in 16oz and other teams better have outfielders who can catch because that is where the ball goes 80% of the time great bat
Cons: white handle great for looks but not to use
Pros: Great pop out of the package. Break-in is a little longer than I wanted. My 9 year old son loves the bat! 2 1/4" barrel, 30" 18 oz. purchased. The team is now using it after they have watched him hit with it. As far as longevity, we will have to see.
Cons: The white handle grip looks good but not for long I am sure. I will be replacing it soon with another color.
Pros: I ordered this bat for my grandson ,who I am coaching in his first year of minor league little league here in Albuquerque.The bat is awesom and my grandson wil not put it down.After we broke the composit in the ball flies off the bat.We had our first game and Stephen got just one hit I am sure he will be hitting better and this bat does the job.Everyone @Just Bats were very friendly and gave me all the info I needed.This company by far is the best.I give it five stares this includes the service and bat.Grandpa James
Cons: I wish I could find one.
Pros: Good bat for the price. My 10 year old loves it.
Cons:
Pros: This bat is a lot better than the much more expensive Attack. Has pretty decent pop for the extremely low pop. I would compare it to the Alloy Easton S3
Cons: nothing, really not the best bat out there though.
Pros: Reasonably priced. Nice pop after breaking in. Held up well for 10 months use. Only reason why he isn't using is because he needs a 29".
Cons: Bat tape isn't that great. Replaced with Lizard Skin Dura Soft Polymer Bat Wrap.
Pros: This bat actually feels like a bat, it has the traditional feel and weight distribution not like a two piece bat. I purchased it for that reason, my son is more likely to hit in the sweet spot with this style. I noticed that he hits more solid with this bat over the top of the line two piece composite bats. This is the perfect bat for my 9 year old boy who is a contact hitter, if he gets the sweet spot it's just an advantage at which point there is good pop.
Cons: I have notice other high dollar bats that have more "pop" in which the ball flies, but they are also not as forgiving. This bat hits very consistently top to bottom. There does not seem to be the dead spots you see in other bats.
Pros: MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS A VERY CONSISTANT HITTER, SHE IS THE ONLY GIRL PLAYING LITTLE LEAGUE THIS YEAR IN LANA'I CITY, HAWAII. SOLID BAT PERFECT FOR THE YOUNGER WEAKER HITTERS NICE POP OFF BAT. WHERE I COME FROM WE SHARE OUR BATS WITH THE TEAM THEY ALL LOVE THIS BAT
Cons: NONE SO FAR
Pros: Bought for 7 year old grandson, he loves it, has a lot of pop and is hardly ever in the infield.
Cons: non
Pros: Amazing bat for hitting bombs and hard line drives. Vibration is never annoying in games.
Cons: Vibration is unbearable in the cages. Handle is annoying. Sweet spot isn't big but it is worth hitting it there. I definitely suggest wearing batting gloves for this!!!!!!
Pros: This bat has a lot of pop i can swing my half speed and still get it to the outfield it is also super light it is also very durable
Cons: none

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.
