Pros: My son played his first tournament this weekend and thanks to the new bat he did great. Hits like a champ and swings like its not even there. Half the team was using it by the end of our game. This bat it a WINNER.
Cons: Not a badthing to say.
Pros: My son's 1st @ bat w/ this was a line drive back at the pitcher. This is his 1st big barrel bat and it's taking some time to get used to the end loaded bat , but w/ each swing it's getting better. The ball literally does jump off of this bat. I am sold! He's 5 years old and I can only imagine what he'll be doing w/ this bat by the time he's 7.
Cons: Not a bad thing to say!
Pros: Our 9 year old first year kid pitch team is lighing it up with this new bat! The whole team started to use it after the first few hitters went 4/4 with two doubles and two triples. The pop of the bat is amazing. The kids feel confident at the plate. Really great bat at a good price. I highly recommend this bat.
Cons: Texas red dirt seems to stain the bat when it is dropped after a big knock.
Pros: This bat Looks good and it has the stamp Certified USSSA for 2012. It is at a decent price point which makes it better affordable to some parents like me, who are not excited to spend big bucks for a bat that is only good for a couple of seasons. I purchased the 28/18 version and our kids seem to hit it very well in 7&8 yr old coach pitch. My son hit his first home run w/it on his 7th birthday.
Cons: none
Pros: Great pop right from the start. Easy to swing for my 6 year old too. Other boys on the team are checking it out as well.
Cons: None that we've experienced
Pros: This bat is AWESOME!! My son just made the local league all-stars team. He was lacking in his batting. I purchased this bat & it's in the outfield every hit!! He's 8 going on 9. He weighs 63 lbs. The 28 in. 15 oz was ideal size & weight for him. I was advised by a professional to go with a lighter bat in order for the ball to fly far. Some of the other children on his team were extremely poor hitters. They ask to use the bat last nigth at our game. This is just average players on the little league team. Those boys were tickled to death last night. All of them, I repeat ALL of them, hit the ball in the outfield with this bat!!! It's a great investment!!!!!!!!!
Cons: The only con we experienced, was just breaking the bat in & getting him use to swinging a lighter bat. This was overcome within 2 games. If we would've had time to go to the batting cages when we received the bat, there would've been no cons to this bat.
Pros: Very light with great pop. It immediately became the favorite bat on my sons team.
Cons: None
Pros: the bat is light, big sweet spot. son loves the big barrel and feels more confident bunting. arrived on time, excellent service, would recommend bat and this company
Cons: None
Pros: Added distance to my boys hits. Ball seem to jump off the bat. This bat has become a favorite of his team mates. All their hits seem to travel farther. The only comparable bat on the team is the CF4 (-12)but with the cracking issues, I recommend this one.
Cons: As said before, the grip seems to be poorly attached to the handle and will require retaping soon. But the bat is used a lot.
Pros: Just got this bat for my 8 year old son today first couple of swings he hit to the fence (225 ft) it has great pop and sounds awesome with a good hit. Very good bat for the money
Cons: none
Pros: Solid well balanced bat! My son loves it!!!
Cons:
Pros: Perfect size for my 7 year old. He is extremely happy with the big barrel bat.
Cons:
Pros: This bat is awesome, everything said about it is true. My grandson plays select ball and was having trouble getting a good hit. He said he needed a big barrell bat. I ordered him this bat and "OH" what a difference it has made for him and many of his team-mates. This was the best $100.00 I've ever spent, very well worth it. He hit a home run tonight! Made me proud to be the one that bought that bat! Sure made a believer out of me. Best deal ever, must try for yourself.
Cons: I can't think of any cons at this time.
Pros: Super bat! my 8yr old son is avg height and below avg weight but you wouldn't be able to tell by his hitting. this bat made an immediate and unbelievable impact on his hitting.
Cons: none.
Pros: This bat came to us hott out of the box. Received bat on Friday played in tournament that weekend and it was used by all. The bat is sick with awesome pop, great bang for the buck
Cons: none
Pros: good pop, gave him the confidence he needed, great bat. most of the team uses it now and it performs awesome
Cons: none yet
Pros: Son has the 27inx17oz. He loves the bat and the way the ball feels off the bat. Great choice to pick this one up.
Cons: Right now the bat does not make the distinct ping sound when he hits it, instead more a crack sound. He is hitting really well with it, so not that big of deal overall.
Pros: Bat shipped and arrived on time (2 day deliver). I purchased this bat for my son for a tournement. He needed to get a bat that had the USSSA stamp. My son was 7 for 11 in the 9U kid pitch tourney. This bat has pop.
Cons:
Pros: My son is 9 for 17 using this bat so far. He was hitting the ball well before, but this bat put him to the top. Very good pop on the bat. My son play for a 8u kid pitch team.
Cons: Nothing I can think of...
Pros:
Cons: This Bat is dead, I dont know if I got a bad bat or what but I do not like it. Spend the extra money and get the Cat 5
Pros: seems to be a really good bat for a first time batter.
Cons: none
Pros: My son loves his new bat, bat has alot of pop right off the barrel, the flys higher and reaching the fence now!
Cons:
Pros: Great bat for the price!! Does not dent easily like the Cat 5. Highly recommend!!!!
Cons: none
Pros: Kid loves it...BUT
Cons: Not legal for Little League.
Pros: Ball jumps off the bat Easy to clean off Bat looks great
Cons: At first we didn't hear the usual "ping". Now it doesn't matter. And we hear a more a "crack" when he gets good contact. Sounds much better then a "ping".
Pros: great
Cons:
Pros: Bought this bat for my son - was looking for a good bat for economical price. Have had it about 3 weeks now, everyone on the team seems to like it!
Cons: Marks up fast. But haven't noticed any dents.
Pros: DECEIVING pop in this bat. My 6 y.o. doesn't like that it doesn't make the 'ping' when it hits (more like a 'thud'), but the ball screams off the bat! Its been used and used, with no signs of denting, which is a plus in a bat of this price.
Cons: This is more of a personal preference, but this bat seems to be 'end-loaded'... Meaning a bulk of the 16 or 17 oz. is in the barrel. Compared to my sons' buddy's bat, that's more of a 'game load' (weight evenly distributed), my son get better bat speed by a longer and heavier bat. An 18 oz. bat feels lighter due to how the weight is distributed than this 16 oz. Again, personal preference.
Pros: lots of pop
Cons: looses pop easy
Pros: Excellent bat. Two kids on our team have one and they both drive the ball with it. Lots of "POP" with this bat.Priced right too!
Cons: none that I have seen!
Pros: best
Cons:
Pros: Love the bat! Great pop...awesome hits since I got this bat!! Great price...a really good deal!
Cons: None so far!

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.
