Pros: Good practice bat. I think it's a -2 so it helps build strength.

Cons: It CAN break. I thought it was unbreakable. I had the handle taped and decided to re-tape it. I took off the tape and, low and behold, it was broken under the tape.

Pros: 3 components to why this bat is great for practice: it, like all other woods, has a smaller sweet spot than an alloy bat, it's heavier, and it lasts a long time. I had a 33 that lasted me for a year. The only reason it cracked was because I caught a ball off the end. I just bought a new one.

Cons: People will be asking to use it constantly.

Austin

Pros: I won a hitting contest against our team 2 1/2 years ago and used it ALOT. I hit almost every day with it. Then last summer I used it alot also and had no problems. I broke an ash (regular) bat within 2 weeks the summer before. NO DOUBT the best bat to own. We also have a cage and I used it every week since summer and it finally split after I hit one of the end. I hit off an iron mike

Cons: (no cons, just continued) that throws about 85 for those 2 1/2 years. My brother bought a composite bat that wasn't supposed to break and it did within his first summer using it. Great feel and power with this bat also. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking.

Pros: -2 weight good for building strength.

Cons: Feels dull. Also, just broke mine today and I think that was the result of a crack that happened last year. I just don't think it's as durable as marketed.

Pros:

Cons: I broke 2 of these bats in the first half of our season (within 8 games). Both broke at the handle on inside fastballs. It broke up the handle, it didn't saw it off. My team has broke 4 of these this year. Warranty covered the first bat, did not cover the 2nd bat. Will not buy Mizuno again. Will be a composite bat or Brett Brothers Bamboo.

Pros: Good balanced bat that has a nice feel to it. When you hit it square the ball really jumps. I have hit all other kinds of wood and have settled on Bamboo for the price and feel.

Cons: No that durable. It marks up very easy, and does break. I broke 2 in a 20 game season this year. Overall still a good bat for the price, but have your receipt ready for that 90 day return.

bigtenballer

Pros:

Cons: Junk. They do not have any pop and break extremely easy. I played baseball at a big division 1 school in the Big Ten and have never swung a bat this bad. It broke on the swing. All 5 balls were off the sweet spot. Mizuno customer service is horrible and took 5 weeks to send me a replacement. Look at Phoenix bats, they make great maple and composite bats and are wonderful to work with.

arock

Pros: Looks good and is very balanced. Mine seemed to have pretty good pop. Mizuno's costumer service it pretty good. I called spoke to a person and had my issue resolved quickly.

Cons: After reading as many reviews as I could find I decided to buy this bat because of it's duribility. Turns out this bat is not that durible. I was jammed on a pitch and the bat broke after 7 games. Mizuno replaced it and in my 3rd at bat with the new one I hit a ball above the label and the bat broke. I called to complain and mizuno is sending me a 3rd bat even though its only a 1 time replacement

Pros: This bat is simply amazing. It's pretty heavy, and that's why i liked it. it helped me build strength and bat speed.. I put it through hell. I've had this bat since last X-mas and i've being using it non stop. Of machines, live, and in a few games. Mainly my BP bat. It'll help.

Cons: It finally broke the other day, and not even during use. My coach got mad, picked it up and slammed it on the ground.. The Handle splintered and cracked :(

Pros: This bat has a very solid feel when you hit with it. No give when you make contact, like with other wooden bats. The weight distribution is exceptional. Haven't had the bat long enough to really put the durability to the test, but there are no chips, dents, etc. in the wood. Mizuno has really outdone the competition with this bat

Cons: Miss hits aren't a pleasure.

thegrandslammer

Pros: using the bat for bp/cage work...holding up good for 2 months now We have the 31" and the sweet spot is only a coulple inches, which is giving my son the feedback he needs to find the sweet spot...otherwise the ball goes nowhere

Cons: It is on the heavy-side for an average 14U player.

Pros: Purchased originally for BP. Have just purchased two more for reg. season play. Best bat I have ever used. Great sweet spot with tons of pop. Nicely balanced and I love the -2 weight. This bat is tough as nails. Have used it in 3 to 4 BP sessions (cage and live) per week since Nov. and it's still hitting lights-out in Feb.! Well worth the money.

Cons: Absolutely none!

VinnieT2

Pros: This is a very good bat. It has lots of pop and feels smooth and clean when you hit off the barrel. I also love the grip Mizuno put on this bat.

Cons: Don't use this bat in the cold. Being from Pennsylvania, the weather is still very cold in early March and because of that my bat cracked, and it wasn't because I hit it at the end or got jammed, because when you do that you can tell when you crack it, and I couldn't. I don't blame Mizuno for this because I should have known that wood bats aren't good in the cold.

Pros: My coach had this bat laying around and I asked what he wanted for it and he gave it to me. It was a 34" bat and I usually swing 33" bats and I had absolutely no problem swinging with it. Has good pop for a bamboo. If you're looking to step up an inch on a bat, get this.

Cons: Knob is kind of small.

Does this bat break fast? Baseball feen
It is hard to determine the life span of a wood bat, but the Mizuno Classic Bamboo Wood Bat (MZB271) should last as long as it does not take any hit on the handle or the end of the bat. Hitting a ball off the end or handle of a wood bat will significantly increase the chance of the bat breaking.
