Noah's Dad
Pros: Looks great and has nice pop once you get it broken in. Between myself and my two boys we hit over 200 balls with it yesterday and it started to loosen up and wow.
Cons: It takes a couple hundred hits before the ball starts to jump.
Tx Baseball Mom
Pros: Love Love Love this bat!! Best bat on the market. We have the Easton XL and this bat hands down is the better of the two. Highly reccomend this bat.
Cons: Have to break it in but that is standard with a composite bat.
Gator Dad
Pros: Blows my sons prodigy out of the water. He just turned 7 so the drop 12 has really helped his bat speed.
Cons: Have to go hit a bunch in the cage to break in
Goodsister
Pros: Just bought the bat, I will give it a couple more days. My old bat is better. But hopefully, it will get better. Will rate again next week.
Cons:
kid pich baseball player 1 year
Pros: this was the best bat I have ever hit with. I was able to knock the ball into play ever time.
Cons:
Vizslahunter
Pros: Increased bat speed
Cons: We play 8U coach pitch with real baseballs. 2 kids have used this bat every day over the last week so it's broken in. Sweet spot is very small and hand vibration on anything outside the sweet spot is bad. After the first day in the cage, excess glue inside the bat had broken off as you can hear fragment pieces slide inside the bat when you turn it from end to end. The bat description is like the original white Stealth that started all the bat ban but is no where close to the performance. This bat should be labeled for knee coach pitch or tee ball. Stand up 8 yr olds should avoid this bat.
Bayou Mike
Pros: Great design and excellent pop! I bought the 26 in 14oz for my son who plays 7u CP travel ball.
Cons: The bat cracked the first day of practice after about 30 cuts. Hopefully my replacement bat holds up because it really hits good.
Greg Scales
Pros: This is a very Hot Bat! The first game my son went two for two hitting to hard shots that ended up in the out field.I recommend this bat not bad for a 5 yr old that weighs 50 lbs.
Cons: Very expensive bat. And the break in time that a composite bat requires. We hit a few hundred balls .
spaceage81
Pros: Good bat. 1st Big Barrell ever ordered. My 6 year old loves it
Cons:
Hugo
Pros: Great Bat! Bat has lot of pop once you get it broken in. It takes about 200 hits or so. Light and appears to be very durable.
Cons: At this time, I can't find any.
Brads Dad
Pros: I got The 28" 16oz bat for my 5 year old and he loves it. He hits it in the outfield every time he connects. All the other kids on his team started batting with it. They had the old white easton,a reflex like us and alot of v grips none can hang with this bat.
Cons: None
cruser
Pros:
Cons:
Regulator's coach
Pros: bought this bat two weeks ago for my travel 8u team. It has a nice pop and is light weight so some of my smaller kids can swing it with some force. I am so pleased with it I am going to buy the next size up for my bigger kids.
Cons: Better start using it as soon as you get it so you can break it in. It is just like any composite bat you have to break it in before you get the full potential.
Georgia Dad
Pros: Looks great. Junior Drop 12 and balanced weighting is easier to swing for my son than the Senior end load weighted S1 counterpart. He swings this 28" faster and more controlled than his 27" Worth Senior Lithium Prodigy.
Cons: It does take a lot of breaking in and does have a small sweet spot. It does have a lot of vibration if not hit in the sweet spot even after regripping it with the Easton VRS tape. The S3 and other metal bats have more generous sweet spots.
Deanatl
Pros: * -12 Drop great for smaller kids * Great pop AFTER you break it in. (At least 200 hits, don't just use the tee)
Cons: None
7u Parent
Pros: This bat is awesome. My son is cranking the ball with this bat and it's not broken in yet. Several kids on our team hit the ball to the fence (200') this weekend. The bat is Hot. We have been using the 2012 Louisville Slugger for the past year. This bat has a much larger sweet spot and is a hotter bat.
Cons: none so far. It is worth the extra $.
Jet pack
Pros: My six year old son has had this bat for a few days, so it's pretty much fresh out of the plastic, and I have noticed a complete difference in his hitting performance due to the -12oz drop and the balance of the bat. I would definitely encourage any parent to spend the money for this bat. 6u CP.
Cons:
Coach Chris
Pros: My son loves it. I've noticed improvements on swinging and ball distance.
Cons: Chips pretty easy.
Anonymous
Pros: Ultra light, well balanced, only one better was the CF4 by Demarini but had cracking issues with that bat.
Cons: Price but will get three years of use from it if there are no quality issues
Coach Michael
Pros: Very light, good pop (especially after it's been hit with for a while), and it looks pretty cool. This bat is worth the money (if you have the budget for it).
Cons: A bit pricey, but if you want something for $100 or less, you can't get a drop 12.
HpHighlanders
Pros: My 8u and 7u teams love it, Easy to handle with a big pop
Cons: None
CC dad
Pros: Great bat out of the box son has REALLY been smoking it with this bat
Cons: NONE as of yet benn playing with it since June in travel ball
Coach K
Pros: Very strong/durable composite bat, but still has tremendous Pop!
Cons:
Texas Smoke
Pros: Bat has amazing pop right out of the plastic.
Cons: My 7 year old cracked it after 6 games.
JG
Pros: My son loves this bat, he's hitting like a pro. He hit two home runs to the fence in a game on Saturday!
Cons: None.
Batley Bomber
Pros: Lots of pop. Light and balanced bat. It Will add distance to each hit.
Cons: Takes real pitches and time to break in.
Doug
Pros: Helps with contact...ball jumps when the ball is hit out front.
Cons: Not approved in Florida Little League...bat was removed from competition
Spanx
Pros: My kids were hitting great with it until the con. Easton says they are going to replace it, so great customer service from Easton.
Cons: It cracked after 2 1/2 months.
6U Parent/Coach
Pros: The bat has a huge sweet spot, with a lot of pop. The bat is indeed balanced & equal. The bat really improves bat speed. I only wish since it is lighter than my little guys old bat that I would of went up in length. I guess it will just make me have to move up and start breaking in a 28 inch sooner!!!
Cons: It was hot out of the wrapper, but as mentioned/recommended I noticed an improvement after 200-300 swings.
leeotus
Pros: Has great pop I love the bat !

Junebug 88
Pros: Bat has a lot of pop for smaller kids like my son. He hit a grandslam in the game!!!!! His bat is name Black Thunder.
Cons:
Kayden.
Pros: I bought this bat for my 7 year old son and seen immediate results with his batting primarily with his bat speed and power. Before he couldn't hit the ball out of the infield but now everything is cosistently hit in the outfield. This has done wonders for his confidence.
Cons: None as of yet.
jkilla
Pros: The best I have used
Cons: None
Emezano
Pros: Improving my kid speed, it took a lot of time to break in.
Cons: First couple of hundreds of balls and already chip the paint. Not a perfect quality of paint.
Nick
Pros: My 7 year old was hitting better from day one with this bat. Speed is up, He's hitting more consistent and it's going further.
Cons: none yet
PCBALLSTAR
Pros: This Bat is great. When it arrived we went to the batting cages and I threw my son roughly 400 pitches. He especially likes the light weight. He is about 4' 50 lbs, 7 years old and thought most say get a 27", he has the 26". His first pitch at practice he sent the ball to deep center field and the first baseman's Grand parents bought him one and he is hitting like crazy. My son also has the 26" drop 10 Xl1 junior Big Barrel, he uses both but, definetly loves the S1 Junior Big Barrel best. Right length, Right Weight, swings great and hits the long ones.
Cons: None
BaseballDad
Pros: Great bat. Every kid on my sons team has one. You won't be let down. His bat speed, hitting ability, and confidence has seen a huge improvement with this stick.
Cons: None
Anonymous
Pros: My son absolutely loves this bat!
Cons:
Coach Will Sandtown Giants
Pros: Great bat for smaller players! It gives them the confidence to go out there and give it their best. We have several for our team in different lengths and they were great out the box for opening day!
Cons: None so far except other teams will definitely be getting this bat after we performed so well opening day this past Saturday!
Greel
Pros: Awesome bat! My 5 year old is hitting some of them to the grass now and he's just a small 41" 41 pound kid. The low weight/big barrel made a huge difference over the standard 25" 15oz
Cons: None yet
WeSwingEaston
Pros: Drop -12 on a youth big barrel bat is nice. Perfect size and easier transition from T-Ball bats.
Cons: Not much.Still breaking it in, so still not sure of full potential. Already has a nice "pop" to it.
Young Guns Coach
Pros: Bat is great kids hit ball hard and was lite as described
Cons: worried bout how long will last only has 400 day warranty not sure how that works
jj malone
Pros: Light weight for a small kid, Easton durability.
Cons: Small sweet spot, long break-in, not as much pop as cat 5, Marucci got it done for cheaper.
Coach Brooks
Pros: This bat is amazing. My son is a first year coach pitch player, and the adjustment from t-ball to coach pitch was pretty rough at the plate. I saw that his confidence was a bit low, so we tried the Easton S1: JBB11S1 Junior Big Barrel. Once he received the bat, his first at bat he hit the ball further than he had ever. After that his confidence grew. Now the bat is a team favorite and everybody use it.
Cons: I WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE 26'/14oz bat!
ok bat
Pros: very easy to handle by 5-6 yr old kids
Cons: i got the 25/13, I should have gotten the 26/14,
Bamaorc
Pros: Lite and easy to swing.
Cons:
ridley
Pros: Lite and durable, seems well constructed. I use this and another V12 on my 5 & 6 year old ball team. My kids dropped there bats quick and now only use the Easton. It has made all the difference in there distance. Happy, happy, happy coach.
Cons: Does scratch easily but it's a bat.
Walnut coach pitch
Pros: Small, light, and the barrel is huge. The kids love hitting with it. They think the sound is cool.
Cons: After more than 200 swings, at ages 4-6, still FAR from broken-in.
Tball Coach
Pros: I bought the 25" 13 oz. because I'm a big time believer in bat speed. It is a good Tball bat, that warms up after being broken-in. Half of the team uses the bat, and I have even allowed the opposition to use it. Durability in a Tball setting is not an issue.
Cons: The sweet spot is small. The end of the bat is more dead than most bats, so I constantly have to tell my hitters to get closer to the Tee and hit the ball with the "T" on the barrel. I've thrown some balls to my boys to get ready for coach pitch and it is too short. Gonna order the 26" 14 oz.
jaydog12345
Pros: I think this bat is just awesome! My friend has the Easton S1 and I just thought, this bat looks like it has some pop. My dad said he'll get the bat.
Cons: My dad and I took some reps with the bat and I started to hit the ball far. You should get the bat from my prospective.
