TeamoJr

Pros: Best bat I have ever bought. At first I thought the flared knob would hinder my swing but I was wrong. This bat has wonderful balance and feels very light in the hands. This thing does not break easy either. Had it over two years and it still has a lot of pop. This is by far the only bat for me now.

Cons: None

Kmak

Pros: Great balance. Bonds knob is a great counterweight. I do believe this is more of a contact hitters bat, but a quality bat nonetheless

Cons: Same problem as another person stated, hit ball off end, and blew out the side of the bat. Could happen to any bat I suppose.

Good Bat John Smith player

Pros: I had this bat over 2 years now and it still does me good. It still has a ton of pop and somehow has not broken. It also has an excellent feel.

Cons: The knob might seem a little strange at first, but once you get used to it it feels great.
