Todd
Pros: At her first tournament with this bat my daughter went 8 of 10 at the plate. The pop is great from a brand new bat and she loves the new style of grip and the balance.
Cons: None
yo
Pros: This bat has great pop, the ball comes off of it verry well. Very evenly weighted and great grip.
Cons: I've had to have 3 of these bats because they keep breaking.The first one broke in half, i was hitting off of a girl who pitched 68mph. The second and third one the ends popped off and were thereforth illegal. I do not recomend this bat.
Ab's Dad...
Pros: great balance, swings well... lots of pop. Loves the grip.
Cons: My daughter just broke the second one in two months... and she only uses it for live pitching... she's a big girl (5'10" 195lbs), but never this problem with other bats...
B
Pros: Lot of pop
Cons: End cap popped off making bat illegal.
ALYO
Pros: Great balance. Nice looking.
Cons: Bat was a Christmas present for my daughter.....3rd use and the end cap came out. Replacement came within 2 weeks. First use and the end cap came out and the end of the bat cracked in three places. Try to buy USA whenever possible but will have to look elsewhere for the next bat. Do not buy this bat.
guin
Pros: Great feel, excellent grip, and nice pop.
Cons: Had to send it back after less then two months of live pitching. The knob actually is threaded and became loose from the bottom of the bat. Also cracks are starting to appear at the top of the bat near the cap. Expected better. First time RIP-IT customer. Have to rethink next years purchase.
Jamie
Pros: Lots of pop, great feel on contact, extremely well balanced.
Cons: Got it for Christmas 2012. Cracked second time I used it - doing tee work! Rip-It replaced it right away, cracked again doing soft toss. Sending it back for refund and will buy something else.
Softball Mom
Pros: Looks nice.
Cons: First bat lasted 3 months, got a replacement and was told that it was the only replacement I would get. The second bat lasted 2 months, I couldn't even give it away! What a waste of money. I tell everyone I know to save their money!
Guin
Pros: Great Feel, good warranty.
Cons: Took our first bat back to the store and got a replacement in a week. After live pitching and some tee work the bat is making a rattling sound. My dd has lost confidence in this product and we are taking it back to the store and getting a different make. Another girl on her team had the same bat and the end cap popped off, she has exchanged it for another brand also. Back to the drawing board RIP-IT!
monty
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Had first bat 2 weeks and the end cap popped off. They sent me a new bat twice and the same thing happened. RIP-IT refused to refund my money. WARNING RIP-IT is a RIP OFF.I will never buy RIP-IT again.
Maddie
Pros: Great pop and looks cool.
Cons: First season using it the end of the bat popped off and was illegal to then use. I will never get this bat again. Don't buy this bat. I strongly recommend not to buy it.
Lu
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: This bat is great until the endcap breaks...and it will break. We are on our third bat. RIP-IT does make returning the bat easy but says they will not refund our money until it happens for the third time...if they even will. I told them obviously there is a problem with this bat if the it breaks after a couple of uses each time. They said there have been only 3% returns on this bat so they don't consider it a problem. Well after reading these reviews, that is obviously not true. I would not buy this bat...I'm very afraid I'm going to be out all my money by the end of the warranty because it does not start over when you get your replacement bat..it is from original purchase date. It is just a matter a time before the next one breaks...
12u Daughter CTK2000 parent
Pros: Bought this bat for my 12U daughter last year. It took her a month or so to adjust to the longer length. After that her hitting, and power, really took off. The bat seemed to have a break in period. Since then the ball has really jumped off of the bat.
Cons: None

Pros: balanced, good pop
Cons: The first one we got the cap popped off after a couple of months, returned it. bought another and after one season the barrell cracked, this time contacting Rip-it they said the 1 year warranty 2 weeks before, and would not backup their product even though they know there were flaws with the bat.
