Cons: Grip starting to peel after a few months but it's nothing a little tape can't fix!
Pros: Has alot of pop off bat contact
Cons: None
Pros: This bat is great my son is 13 years old and he is killing the ball. Don't buy a bat that cost a lot of money this bat has the same quality has a $300 bat
Cons: I should have got it sooner
Pros: This bat is so sick the ball just flys off the bat i highly recommend this bat.
Cons: none
Pros: i give it a 5, 1st day of practice i got this slammed 5 homeruns in a row with this bat, amazing alloy lots of "PoP" well balanced i recomend this to any one.
Cons: non so far.
Pros: Ball simply jumps off the bat! Great pop! Swings just as good as the Omaha, Vexxum, & Easton series & isn't end loaded.
Cons: None as of yet.
Pros: Has a great feel to it, my Brother has an Easton S2s and its a $300 bat and he said he would rather have a bat like mine Very happy with the bat
Cons:
Pros: the bat is amazing I'm 14 years old and i hit a 350+ ft homer with this bat, broke a cars windshield lol.
Cons:
Pros: My 13 year old loves this bat! He used it at Triple Crown Sports Border Wars in NC, & hit 360-380 foot bombs-no embellishment! He reported that it has incredible pop, was evenly balanced, no sting, & was just an overall "beasty" bat!
Cons: After using it for 1 middle school game & 6 travel ball tournament games, the grip started to unwind at the top. We wrapped it back with some sports tape, & kept it moving.
Pros: A friend of mine got an Easton Typhoon for somewhere between $70-80. For just 30 bucks more, I got this bat, and the difference is insane. His Typhoon feels like it has much more weight even though it's also 32/29 due to its top-heaviness. The Rawlings Plasma feels brilliantly balanced. It feels light, but when you make contact? Watch out. For the price, I'd definitely recommend the Plasma. Hey, it's also a pretty good looking and less commonly used bat too, so that doesn't hurt!
Cons: None ... although I've seen plenty of people complain about the grip peeling. REMEMBER: Don't use this bat when it's colder than 60 degrees. Just a friendly tip.
Pros: great balance,great pop,quickly became favorite bat on the team,maybe as good as the 5150
Cons: none yet
Pros: Its a great pop bat for sluggers and a liner for speedo's. I, without a doubt, recomend this bat.
Cons:
Pros: the greatest power I have ever experienced! I was never a power hitter before but i am now.
Cons: the grip comes off and gives blisters.
Pros: this is a really good bat for its price and has pretty good pop for a bbcor more for power hitters cause its more top heavy
Cons: if you have more money get the exogrid2, or omaha for power hitters or nike areo fuse for all around hitters.
Pros: its very balanced pop is good love the colors
Cons: nothing really
Pros: Bat has good sweet spot. My son has gone from -12 to -3 for high school. Has adjusted well.
Cons: None
Pros: great bat buy it
Cons: nothing
Pros: This bat is great. The pop is like a besr, I am a contact hitter and I have hit 2 home runs with it. Overall it is a great bat.
Cons: None at all
Pros: It is legal for school ball. I was trying to find a cheap bat for school ball, it had to be a -3 BBCOR bat. I wanted a 30/27 and I came across this. It's really hot right out of the wrapper. Pretty good pop. Really low price, just as good as some $200 bats I've had.
Cons: It gets scraped easily, and if you hit it off the inside part of the bat it stings a little and the ball will only go a few feet.
Pros: I was looking for an inexpensive BBCOR bat to transition into middle school baseball. This bat has a really nice sweet spot and is well-balanced. I suppose I might have been able to buy a little more 'pop' but this bat has performed beyond expectations. It has more to do with the kid swinging it than the bat itself. And I don't buy into the whiny "stinging" or "vibration." If you square it up, it doesn't hurt; if you get jammed or get it out on the end, it's going to sting a bit. That's baseball; it's not the bat's fault! BTW, my son liked the matte finish and the overall look of it...
Cons: None. This is a great bat and a screaming deal.
Pros: Great
Cons: Not much pop
Pros: Nice feel, excellent weight & balance.Can't beat the bat pack price.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Beautiful bat. Its my baby
Cons: I only have one
Pros: End loaded lots of pop
Cons: Heavier swinging

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
