review by
Juice Man
Pros:
1st time purchasing a Rawlings bat. Bought this for my 12 yr old. He says the bat is very well balanced and has a stiff feel with lots of pop. If you have ever swung the Easton Rival orange and black bat it has more pop than that. Cons:None

Pros:
Good balance, lots of pop. Cons:Dented 3rd time out under the 1st 5 in 5150 on a inside pitch. Rawlings warranty return is 3 weeks behind. As of today they do not have a status on the warranty. Very disappointed all around with Rawlings Bats. Replaced a 2011 5150 that we enjoyed very much but not legal any longer.

Pros:
I recently had a Worth Prodigy, and now it is in a triangular shape, but I bought this bat for my new 2012 travel ball season and I am at my best point yet. The ball flies off this thing. Rawlings made a great bat. Cons:Nothing

Pros:
Just got the New Rawlings 5150 Velo a couple weeks ago. Have not used it in a game but son 10U loves the pop. Can't wait for game action. Cons:On the second batting practice with me pitching to my 10 y/o son at about 54-56 mph he noticed two significant dents at the end of the extended barrel. We will contact Rawlings today to send it back. What seemed like a wonder bat now has holes, or dents. Will update on the return process.

Little Hitter
Pros:
Well balanced bat. Cons:Replacement bat dented faster than the first one. It dented so bad we are afraid to use it for fear that it will collapse and fold in half. Rawlings Warranty replacement on first bat took 7 weeks. This bat is junk. replaced it with a Easton Surge (30/20)and have been hitting the ball 30 yards further. Will never purchase a Rawlings bat again.

Pros:
Great pop, durable and great customer service from Rawlings.
My son used this all last year and put a few dents in it. Sent it back to Rawlings and they returned a new SLR234 which I gave to my younger son. It split on the barrel after 2 games. Sent it back and wasn't sure they'd do anything for me. I asked if they'd replace it with the SL51V and they did!
Rawlings really takes care of its customers. Cons:

Pros:
Cons:I purchase this bat in January and this is my second time being replaced due to denting. The first time I sent it back it took 4 weeks to get a new one which I didn’t understand because they were shipping out new ones all across the country. Now for the second one they are saying 2 weeks. Still Frustrating! I would not buy this bat!

Pros:
Great Pop! But, on our first bat it dented after 2 practices. JustBats did a great job on overnighting one to us for the AAYBA World Series. Kudos to JustBats for customer service. Used the 2nd bat for 8 games and several lessons with no issues yet. Cons:Dents easy

Pros:
1st time buying a Rawlings. Looked good, son said it felt good, sounded solid when he connected, but..... Cons:1st time out at batting practice - 9U, slow pitch machines and coach pitch. Bat has 3 dents just below the 5. Also looks like the red paint / coating is coming off around the dents. Have contacted Rawlings warranty manager. Waiting on reply. Bought bat 2 DAYS ago!!! At this time, no way I could recommend buying this bat
