Pros: NONE
Cons: BENT AFTER 3 GAMES IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A BAT YOU HAVE TO GO THRU LOUISVILLE NOT THIS PLACE OVER ALL SAID 10 BUSINESS DAYS WHICH WE ALL KNOW THAT MEANS 2 WEEKS OR MORE. AND YOUR STUCK WITH THE BAT
Pros: Did have good pop
Cons: My 12 u daughter had managed to bend 2 of theses bats in less then a year thought maybe first one was a little weird to bend. And even our head coach thats been with softball for 40 plus years says its very rear to see that happen so we got her a new one since it was a good backup bat from her 2 peice compisite bat and now the 2nd one is bent now . 2 of them inless then a year bad design think they need to do something about it. I kept both bats thinking sending both back to them be like what the heck
Pros: lightweight with good feel for my daughter
Cons: We bought this bat last year and are using again this ball season. We were pleased until the bat bent!
Pros: My 12 yr old somehow bent this bat as well. Not sure how it happened since it cannot be easily bent back. I guess i was lucky to get one season out of it. The paint is durable, very little scratches.
Cons: Too much money for a poorly made product.
Pros: I saw all the bad reviews but decided to go with it anyways because of the price. This bat has fared well with tee ball. My daughter does complain of sting every once in a while but other than that, this bat gets the job done.
Cons: I don't know why bat companies make their bats white.
Pros: Inexpensive. Balanced. While other people complain about dents, I've been pleasantly surprised with the durability.
Cons: The pop is meh.

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
