Description
The Louisville Slugger MLB Prime wood baseball bat consistently offers the utmost quality and craftsmanship from year to year. These big league bats use MLB Grade wood which comes from only the top 3% of Louisville Slugger's wood. This results in the hardest hitting surface and the straightest grains in comparison to any other wood bat. The newest feature of all the MLB Prime models is the brand-new EXO ARMOR. This cutting-edge and innovative top coat doubles an already hard surface that will allow you the player to immediately notice a first-rate feel and unparalleled sound upon contact. It is the hardest in the game and harder means farther! Bone rubbing has become a necessity with wood bats to ensure that the grains and fibers become compressed while making the wood more dense. Not only will all MLB Prime bats come bone rubbed but they also feature a cupped end to improve balance and ensure a higher density piece of wood. Furthermore, the MLB Prime wood baseball bats are graded for quality at six different stages from the time the tree is cut until the bat is finished, including the final step - the ink dot slope of grain test for MLB approval.
The Louisville Slugger MLB Prime Granderson Game M110 Maple Wood Baseball Bat: WTLWPM110GM6 Adult is the exact model that three-time MLB All-Star Curtis Granderson of the New York Mets uses in game. The M110, developed in 1944, is one of Louisville Slugger's oldest turning models and is consistently in the top five at the Major League level. A denser starting billet is used to offer a slightly thicker handle which provides the most balanced swing weight available. This balance provides you the player with maximum barrel control when you bring the bat through the zone for the utmost confidence at the plate. This Curtis Granderson version, dubbed the CG3-M110, features a personalized black matte finish. Louisville Slugger: The Next Generation of Wood! Get yours today with fast, free shipping!

Pros: Son just got this bat and already asked me to order him a 2nd one. Loves it. Getting a ton of pop and he tells me it feels great. Uses wood consistently and has always used another brand but decided to give the MLB Prime a try.
Cons: Only complaint is the look of the bat. The LS sticker just looks cheap. I get the feeling its going to peel off at any minute. Given how much the bat costs, and what the competitors bats look like, they need to step up their game here.
Pros: Great balanced feel from the M110 turn. Lots of pop and very durable. Love the black matte finish. My son is 5'09" / 150 and is handling the 32" just fine. He has also swung a C271 turn before and likes it, but prefers the thicker handle & slight better balance of the M110.
Cons: Agree with the other review about the label being stickers. For the cost & the fact that it's a "Prime" model, I would not expect to see stickers. I peeled off the "Powerized" one cause it looked like an obvious sticker. The "L/S" sticker is not as bad.. you need to look close to know it's a sticker. One point of the bracket that frames the "L/S" was already starting to peel when we got it, so i put a small smear of gorilla glue on each tip, which has done the trick.
Pros: Nice balanced bat Has good pop
Cons: Lettering peels off easily

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.
