Pros: Bat has a ton of life right out of the wrapper.I would recommend this bat highly.
Cons: None yet but its early friend has bat from rip-it for over a year and still has ton of life
Pros: Great bat my DD has hit in cage and live pitching and bat has alot of life right out of box
Cons: none
Pros: Bought bat for my daughter as a secondary for practice. Bat sounded dead out of the box. Small barrel offers less sweet-spot to hit with. Rip-it has a 30 day return policy so I sent the bat back for a refund.
Cons:
Pros: Very nicely balanced. Large drop for better bat control. The ball jumps off the bat right out of the wrapper. Good price for performance.
Cons: Short barrel. We broke two of these working indoors. Both times we noticed something rattling inside the bat. Rip-It replaced the first bat although I did have to pay to ship it back. When the second broke, I decided to just return it for a refund. Rip-It confirmed it was a piece of epoxy that breaks off and although performance is not affected, an ump may disallow it. Too bad, we liked it.
Pros: My girl loves this bat. Some pop out the gate, but after about 100-150 swings on it, its on fire now. Recommend it for any girl
Cons:
Pros: Has great pop right out of the wrapper. My 10 year old daughter hits better with this than the Easton Synge and the Demarini Vendetta (although the Vendetta is not broken in yet). Sounds like a wood or composite bat.
Cons: haven't found any yet.
Pros: Daughter loves bat!
Cons: Just as Diet Dew stated, bat broke while working indoors. Something inside starting rattling. RIP-IT stated that this bat is discontinued so looking forward to the new bat.
Pros: Daughter loved the bat. Great feel and good weight
Cons: Noticed something loose in bat at about 6 months of use. Took back to vendor and gave me a new one. They said it was a bad batch but it happened again on second bat. Was very carful with second bat not to use indoors or with pitching machine balls.
Pros: Nearly took my head off on the first swing. 10U. I was on a bucket 20ft away and the ball popped my glove before I knew it. Cant wait to see what she can do in a game situation.
Cons: Price. I have searched other sites since and found the bat as much as $30 cheaper. Other than that, none yet.
Pros: Kid liked the bat. Hit pretty good with it too.
Cons: Started rattling after not much use at all. Company did replace with a rip-it force light bat.
Pros: Great bat lots of pop
Cons: My daughter broke it hitting soft tossed balls something inside not happy
Pros:
Cons: Broke bat in two in a week poor material.
Pros: Great pop right out of the box!! My nine-year-old could easily swing it.
Cons: Not sure of the durability yet since we haven't used it much.
