Pros: Great grip, feels real solid when you hit the ball, good looking bat, great sound when you hit the ball, well balanced (but a little end loaded), low vibration
Cons: lacks the bouncy/flex feeling when you hit the ball because of the lack of pop (it feels like you're hitting with a metal pipe)but that provides the solid feel. i dont know how it compares to other bbcor bats but it was about what i expected from bbcor bats
Pros: ok grip but lots of pop
Cons:
Pros: My experience tells me that most BBCOR bats are going to be about the same in pop. It's really all about the feel and looks. The BB126 has great balance, solid grip and seems very sturdy. Definitely the BEST looking bat I've ever seen. Picture doesn't do it justice.
Cons: Price is kind of high, but I think for a well-made bat it's worth it
Pros: Great balance and exceptional pop
Cons: Didn't like it the first couple of times I Hit with it but after it got broke in, I love it
Pros: Hits pretty well and has a good balance point, but I don't think it has as much pop as some of the more expensive bats.
Cons: Why put such a cheap grip on an expensive bat?
Pros: First of all, awesome paint job. Bat is very balanced. I swung the first Omaha bbcor and this one seems to bring more pop to the table. Been hitting lasers in the cage. Sound off the bat is different, but actually kinda cool.
Cons: No problems. Really happy with my purchase.
Pros: Very balanced bat, lots of pop,reasonably priced.
Cons: The handle everyone still wraps bats for right handed hitters. One batting practice and the grip needs to be replaced!
Pros: I just watched FAU destroy the ball last night. 2 homers and 3 extra base hits. This bat has more pop than the Surge or the Voodoo. The paint job is sick! Check out the price.
Cons:
Pros: At first I thought the new BBCOR bats would be straight terrible, but they have proved me wrong. They still have great pop compared to a BESR bat but the ball comes off the bat a little slower. The bat is well balanced especially the 33. The paint job is awesome and is the one of the better sounding BBCOR bats.
Cons: I do not like the tape as i generally use a thin layer of athletic tape
Pros: this bats legit. its got tons of pop for a bbcor. its the best value bat out of all the new ones. people sayin the grip is weak are right but who cares bat tape is what 5 bucks? this is the bat to use.
Cons: none great bat all around.
Pros: great bat. has a lot of pop and the ball jumps off the bat.
Cons: little more top heavy that the 2011 omaha.
Pros: Best pop among BBCOR. Biggest sweet spot of BBCOR bats. The thing about BBCOR, is that you actually have to hit the ball on the sweet spot to get a good hit. Just like a wood bat. The BBCOR is not only safer, but it makes players better. I've swung the Voodoo, the Rawlings, the Easton, the older omaha, the vexxum... this is hands down the best one of the BBCOR bats! BUY THIS BAT!
Cons: Slightly Top Heavy. Grip too thin above knob. I wish there was a bigger taper above the knob. but it is easily fixed with tape.
Pros: Bat has better pop sound than the voodoo black. Less vibration than the last years Omaha BBCOR. Takes about 200 hits to break-in. After that the balls will fly. You'll know when you square one up by the sound it makes.
Cons: It's a bit top heavy but you get used to it.
Pros: I loved this bat during BP. Brings a different type of Omaha to the table. and just bc its BBCOR this bad has great POP.
Cons: Little bit Top Heavy but what are you going to do
Pros: It has an amzing paint job, good sound when coming off the bat, I personally think it is the best bbcor approved bat, and I definetly recommend this bat to others.
Cons: None
Pros: Our High School Team loves this bat. Very well balanced and very good pop. I can see the positive effect of the BBCOR Bats on California HS baseball but if you have a good swing you will not see a drop off in your numbers using the TPX Omaha
Cons: Price..Tough on school budgets in a down economy to have to buy all new bats in CA
Pros: i got the omaha hearing about how they loosened up the bbcor standards and that i would be a good bat and they were right. the first hit you get you will be depressed because it doesnt have the "ping" noise like the exo had but the ball will still go far. it is like hitting the besr demarini vexxum thats how good it is.
Cons: it doesnt have a loud "ping" when you hit the ball so you dont hear that you had a solid hit. it also has the worst tape possible go to Dick's Sportinggoods and buy some hockey tape and wrap it with that it works wonders.
Pros: Never used a BBCOR bat before but I hope there all like this one.... Great look and lots of pop.
Cons: grip and a little top heavy but fine
Pros: The ping is unique and i love it. it is very light and easy to swing. Way better then alot of the besr bats ive used. at first I was mad to realize that it was a one piece bat and i thought it looked like a little kid bat but every bat is like that and ive gotten used to it. the paint job is sick. pop takes a while to break in
Cons: The tape job is pretty bad but nothing a little hockey tape can't fix. It stings sometimes when you hit even on the sweet spot.
Pros: This Omaha is great. Especially in the 32/29 length/weight. It has the best pop of any BBCOR bat even when it isn't broken in.
Cons: Some vibration when you hit a ball off the shaft and the end of the bat
Pros: great feel, very balanced bat with optimal sweet spot.
Cons: slightly better pop than usual bbcor but still lacks pop of former omaha
Pros: This bat has a ton of pop. I went 6 for 8 in three games. has a good grip.Very well balanced, not top heavy.

Cons: none

Cons: grip tape....but i preffer to use thin tape anyways

Cons: grip kinda rips easy
Pros: ive always had a omaha and this one has to be my favorite and ive hit with every easton tpx rawlings and demirani and for some reason this omaha just seems to fly farther and faster when it comes off the bat all in all the omaha is an all out workhorse
Cons: im sorry tpx but your grip just doesnt meet the standards so i replaced it with the easton vrs grip thats the only thing i could even think about not liking on this bat
Pros: i love this bat i made 5 home-runs with this bat and my season has just started
Cons: none actually

Cons: really top heavy and a bad grip

Pros: Awesome bat.Got 30 min before my game (one day shipping free) and had a couple of rips. very large sweet spot. I've tried a LOT of BBCOR bats and this one was the best for performance and price. Paint job is nice but that doesn't really matter to me. It has that high pitched BESER sound being a alloy bat. The grip is great too. Thanks Louisville Slugger and Justbats
Cons: none at all.
Pros: This bat is the bat I would recomend for anyone to use. I have had a lot of sucess with this bat. Could tell a difference from BESR to BBCOR but not much with this bat just a smaller sweet spot. Also the bat looks sharp!!

Cons: None.
Pros: Fantastic Balance. Great Pop. A five star hitting tool for the serious athlete.
Cons: None.
Pros: Nice bat. It's worth the price. The first time I used it, I got a solid line drive for a single.

Pros: feels like a besr. great great great bat. my whole team ended up using mine and some even got their own.
Cons: none
Pros: Good, reliable bat, good balance and great pop, not to mention it just looks awesome
Cons: Grip could be better, not great with shock absorption
Pros: 1-piece design gives a firm solid feel and compresses the ball for much longer distances than 2-piece or junk composite bats. Hit 11 hr last summer and fall with it. Bought another because it was on sale!

Pros: great pack, all bats were very balanced, great pop. good grip and not end or top heavy good stuff! thanks justbats.com you are the best!!!!!
Cons: none.
Pros: Great price, awesome, paint job, great bling when hit.
Cons: Haven't had any yet.
Pros: Great pop, even on the first day using it. I've loved the bat since day one.
Cons: None, overall great bat.
Pros: I used this bat last night and went 4/4 with two doubles, a single, and a triple plus 3 RBIs. This bat has great pop and it almost feels composite. I'm only in 7th grade but I get it around fairly easy. Great choice if you hit in the gaps.
Cons: I would prefer a grip on the end because the end of the bat is hard and it sort of hurt the bottom of my left hand (I'm a switch hitter but I hit right handed all of last night).
Pros:
Cons: It pings when hit. If you are a power hitter u want a bat to have a more of a crack sound and come off solid.
Pros: Great pop very balanced loved it
Cons: None
Pros: Bat has a solid feel upon hitting, large sweet spot. 13yr old started babe ruth ball and freshman hi school ball, enjoys using the bat along with numerous other players.
Cons: None as of yet
Pros: Amazing bat, great pop and amazing sound
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Excellent bat been using it since I came out just when I wanted a new one I got the same one just bigger. I use it almost every game except when I use my DeMarini Voodoo. It has great pop and sound to it, excellent paint job and the ball flies off the bat. It has that awesome ping and just all around awesome bat you should definitely buy it!
Cons: Grip tape was thin however I liked but it you don't it is very cheap to buy a different kind.
Pros: Reasonable price for the the capability, but not at same quality level as other TPX (non-BBCOR)models of prior years.
Cons: After just 5 at-bats, the grip is already coming undone. Sound of the batted ball is more of a ringing effect, causing other spectators to question the integrity of the bat's construction.
Pros: Well Balanced Nice Sound/Pop
Cons: None
Pros: -When you hit the ball, it's always a hard hit -Bat looks really cool
Cons: -Very end loaded, and I am a contact hitter and it made it very hard for me to hit the ball because I couldnt get the bat around easily enough. I think this bat would be a great fit for power hitters, but I am not one so I am really not a big fan of the omaha.
Pros: This bat has a great "ping" sound with every hit. Great pop and an awesome paintjob. This is an overall great bat
Cons: Not crazy about the grip tape
Pros: The end is perfectly weighted for a power hitter like my self. When I first started Legion baseball it was a huge transition and thought the bat was the reason I wasn't hitting but after I started hitting again I started using it and I was supprised how the ball just flew off the bat. Nobody uses the bat because i won't let them. Great bat and I think I will stick with Louisville Slugger and occasionaly DeMarini.
Cons: Tape doesn't well and kinda dated for this generation
Pros: Bought this bat for my 10 year old grandson as his first big barrel bat and he really likes it. In his second game use he hit for the cycle so what more can we say.
Cons: None at this point

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.
