How does this bat compare with the new 2018 DeMarini CF Zen? Specifically in pop and durability? Greg
My son is 11 years old 5'3" and 115 lbs. His drop 10 (31"/21 oz) is too light for him. How does this bat compare to the 2017 model? What are the technological differences? CoachRob
My son is considering either a 29 (-8) or 30 (-10). He'll be 12 yrs old soon. He is almost 4'8" and about 87 lbs. Which of these 3 bats would have a stiffer feel: (LS Prime 918, Easton Ghost X or Demarini CF Zen)? Andrew
My son is 5 ft 109lbs we had the Easton Beast last yr. We are thinking about the Prime 918. We don't know what size to go with? Also, is it a good bat? chuck
Our son is 9 yrs old and is 5"2' and weighs 135 lbs. He has used the 30' (-8) in batting practice a few times and liked it. Should he go to a 31' (-8) to try to get an extra year or two out of it, or go with the demo size he has been using in the cage? Anita
I know the 29" bat is supposed to weigh 21oz, but how much does it actually weigh? NC5
My son just turned 10 and is 5' 2" 116lbs, he has being swinging a Mako Beast 2 5/8" 31" -10 with lots of success and balls going yard. He wants to try a 2 3/4 Louisville 918 -8, is that too heavy? I want to be safe in case he has another growing spurt. S D
My son is 5'1" and 105 pounds. Can you tell me what length and drop would be good for him? Baseball mom 17
My 12 yr old son currently is swinging 32 (-10) 2 3/4 all aluminum LS Big barrel Bat. He's 5'5' & 150 lbs. He hit for power. At times the 22 oz bat seems a bit light for him. What difference do you think we'll see going to full composite 24 oz bat? Also, what other bat would compare to the 918? GUU
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.
