Pros: Great pop!
Cons: Breaks easy.
Do NOT buy this bat. David coach
Pros: I wouldn't know, did not last long enough.
Cons: 1st bat broke after 3 hits, 2nd bat (same model) broke after 3 hits. Just bats was nice enough to replace the first bat because it only had 3 hits on it, the replacement bat, also broke after 3 hits. I have never seen anything like it.

Pros: good pop
Cons: breaks easy
Great Bat Nate player
Pros: It has nice pop and it feels like a sponge when you hit the ball. The ash is really lightweight and has a nice balanced feel to it. I like the large barrel and it also look slick. Great Price!
Cons: If you know anything about wood you would that maple is defiantly more durable that ash. I haven't had any durability issues and I've had it for a whole season. You have to hit it in the right spot, not on the barrel and not on the end. If you don't want it to break remember the grain and to keep the label up.

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.
