The entire barrel, taper, and handle are designed to hold the perfect amount of compressed helium to decrease MOI, increase swing speed, and increase the trampoline effect of the barrel. As a result, we have created the world's most advanced BBCOR bat that hits better than every bat we have ever tested.

or
Will this bat be good for a power hitter? Big MIkeyy
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is an excellent all around bat. The helium allows for a lower M.O.I. and increased swing speeds. The bat would be ideal for contact hitters, but will also allow for a high level of success for power hitters.
Jake
Is this bat legal for high school play? Tony
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is approved for all high-school and collegiate play.
Joe
How does the 5 piece bat work? Also is this a composite, half and half, or alloy bat? joeybats
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) features a five-piece design, which refers to the compressed helium filled inside of inflatable chambers from the knob all the way to the end cap (knob, taper, handle, barrel, end cap). The Helium will feature a fully alloy design. For more information on the construction of the bat, you can check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W-LaSHtICY
Tessa
Is this bat end loaded or balanced? Kahuna
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will feature a balanced swing weight.
Tessa
Do they make a 34" model? ptizzle
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will have a limited release of only 5,000 bats to begin. Here at JustBats, we will most likely only be receiving the BBCOR 33" and 32" models. We are not certain if RIP-IT may be releasing some 34" models. They would certainly be able to help you in regard to this question. RIP-IT can be contacted at (888) 957-4748.
Ben
Is this bat composite or alloy? Spider
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) features a fully alloy design.
Tessa
Is the bat's barrel extended at all like an Easton XL? joec
No, the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) does not have an extended barrel. The RIP-IT AIR will actually have a slightly longer barrel than the Helium. The Helium is designed to have a low MOI to help increase swing speed.
John
How long before the effects of the helium start to decrease?? j-mo
There is not any information currently available about the benefits of using helium in the construction of the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) decreasing over time or that the bat will age differently than other alloy barrel models from RIP-IT.
Patrick
How does this bat compare in power and contact to the 2015 Rip It Air and 2015 Rip It Elite? Jared
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will be the most balanced for the lightest swing weight between it and the 2015 RIP-IT AIR Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503E) and the 2015 RIP-IT AIR BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503A). In terms of power, it will have similar restrictions on it's performance as other BBCOR models but will perform right up to those restrictions at a more consistent rate due to more reinforced trampoline effect. Contact obviously depends on player skill but the balanced design of this bat, as well as the other two mentioned, should be beneficial for contact style hitters.
Patrick
Will this bat come with the RIP-IT Love It or Return It policy? David
Yes, the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will come backed with the 30 Day Love It or Return It policy.
Tessa
Which is better: this or a CAT 6? edcfr
Both the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) and the CAT 6 are high end alloy barrel bats. It is tough to say one bat will perform better than the other because they both feature the BBCOR stamp. However, the Helium is designed to have one of the lightest swing weights on the market and is an extremely easy bat to swing.
Jason
What is the purpose of the helium in the bat? PK
The entire barrel, taper, and handle are designed to hold the perfect amount of compressed helium to decrease MOI, increase swing speed, and increase the trampoline effect of the barrel. It also improves the performance of the bat in colder temperatures.
Mac
Is this bat recommended for use in cold temperatures? Coach
We would not recommend the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) for usage in temperatures below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. It does have an unlimited warranty within 400 days from the purchase date, so if it was to crack in cold weather, the manufacturer would replace it.
Joe
When is this bat going to released? I'm thinking of ordering one but would want it soon to get it broken in before tournament play begins. jeff
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) ships the week of 2/1/15 with free 2nd Day Air. With its alloy barrel that's compressed by Helium gas, it's actually hot right out of the wrapper.
Mac
How does the 30 Day Love It or Return It work? If we don't love it, do we send it back to RIP-It or Justbats.com? Is the return shipping free? Also, many places will only except back a bat that still has the wrapper on it and is unused. Is this true for the Love It or Return It policy? Don
The Love It or Return It policy on the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will allow you 30 full days to hit the bat as much as you want to decide if you love the bat. If you do not, simply return the bat to RIP-IT to get your full money back. Their customer service number and returns information can be found here: http://www.ripit.com/returns/ The return shipping will also be free. A free shipping label can be sent to you by mail or email. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Brandon
What outside temperatures are damaging to this bat? bk
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is approved for use in hot and cold temperatures. We at Just Bats recommend not using any bat in cold temperature as the ball in more dense and can cause damage upon contact.
Frankie
Can I use this bat in middle school baseball? Alex
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is approved for all high-school and collegiate play. If your middle-school allows for the usage or requires BBCOR bats, then it would be approved for play.
Joe
Can this be used for my kid in little league? RBI KING
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is made for high school and college players with the .50 BBCOR certified stamp and -3 length to weight ratio. I would recommend the little leagues allow bats with a USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp that are categorized as Youth Big Barrel Bats or Senior League Bats.
Tom
Does the helium escape out of the barrel over time? Red
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) should hold the compressed helium within the entire barrel, taper, and handle for the entirety of the life of the bat. If the bat breaks or there is a leak of any kind then the bat will be considered defective. RIP-IT offers a full 400 day manufacturer's warranty on this bat so they would handle a replacement if the bat becomes defective.
Tom
Does the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR baseball bat have the 1.15 stamp? mike
No, the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will not feature the USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp on its barrel or handle.
Tessa
Is the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat legal to use in Little League? mike
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will only be legal for play in the Intermediate, Junior, Senior, and Big League divisions of Little League.
Tessa
I prefer a balanced bat, what are the differences and which would you recommend out of the Marucci Cat 6, 2015 Rawlings Velo, and the 2015 RIP-IT Helium? Bo
The Velo, Cat 6 and the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) are all going to be balanced bats with alloy barrels. With these all featuring BBCOR certified stamps it hard to say one is better than the other.
Frankie
How do you compare the RIP-IT Helium to the Louisville Slugger Omaha 515? Baseball
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will feature a five piece design as opposed to the one piece alloy design of the Omaha 515. The Helium will have more flex through the zone similar to a two piece bat. The Omaha 515 will feature a stiffer flex being a one piece.
Tom
Does the Love It or Return It guarantee and the manufacturer's warranty apply to used bats as well? Beth
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) when new, comes with a full manufacturer's warranty. A used option from justbats.com will come with a 2 week guarantee from us. If you are unsatisfied, just return it to us here at justbats.com for a full refund or exchange.
Brandon
Is this bat good for power hitters or would you recommend another bat? Power
In general, power hitters can often find success with any style of bat. If the player likes a balanced design and an alloy construction, the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) would be a nice choice.
Patrick
My son was interested in RIP-IT Helium bat. There was a used one he liked. Are they gone? Will you be getting anymore in? Michael
Any used bats on our site are used in our facility so we will most likely not be selling anymore used 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H).
Allison
Would this bat be good for a power hitter? Bruh
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is one of the lighter swinging alloy models on the market. Typically, we would recommend an end loaded model for a power hitter such as the RIP-IT Prototype BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1403) or the 2015 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD FT BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC). Both bats are excellent options for the power oriented hitter.
Joe
How does the Helium differ from regular air in this bat? Helium
The helium in the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is actually 7 times lighter than the air in a normal BBCOR bat. This helps to create a lower MOI, thus increasing the swing speed and trampoline effect of the bat.
Tessa
Is this bat for a power or contact hitter? I'm more of a power hitter. Is this a good choice or would another bat be better? slugger
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is going to be a balanced bat which are generally geared more towards contact hitters. With that being said if you prefer a more end-loaded feel I would recommend looking at something along the lines of a DeMarini Voodoo Overlord or an end-loaded Rawlings Velo.
Jake
The used policy. Is that 14 days from purchase or 14 days from receiving bat? Michael
If you purchased a used product, you would have 14 days from the purchase date to decide if it was a product that you would be happy with. If not, we offer a free return process. Outside that 14 days, if it was a used product you purchased, you would not have the option to return it for credit.
Patrick
I've already sent the bat back once because it broke. The new one that I received now makes a weird sound when I drop it, (kind of like a dead bat) is the bat supposed to make this sound? pricemo22
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) may make different noises on different surfaces. I would not worry too much about the sound the bat makes when you drop it. However, if the bat is not performing well, then I would contact RIP-IT and see if they would honor the warranty again.
Liz
I am thinking about buying this bat. I would like to know if this bat came with a warranty? kiko
The new options of the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) come with a 400 day manufacturer warranty directly through RIP-IT.
Jason
How long will it keep its pop? shaunny baseball
There is no way to determine the length of time the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) will sustain performance based on the countless factors that can play into its use. There is no set number of hits or years the bat should last. It is covered under a 400 day warranty through Rip-It so you should at least get that amount of time with the product.
Patrick
It says if ordered by 8 pm it will ship the same business day ? Is that true? baseball
As long as you place your order before 8pm central time tonight, it will ship out today. The time it will take to deliver the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) would be based on your location and the shipping method you select.
Patrick
If it was to break, what is the most common ways it would break? Has anyone sent any broken bats back yet? baseball
I would not say that there is a way the 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) more commonly breaks. Given the nature of the game, bats can break any number of ways.
Patrick
With the helium, I thought the bat would've been illegal. Are you sure it is not? Matt
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) has passed certification and has been deemed BBCOR certified making it legal for play. There is no reason to think it would not remain that way.
Patrick
I have been using the Helium since March and I recently noticed the end of the bat is no longer perfectly round. The shape of the bat is slightly deformed and a little bit flat at the end. Is this a rare occurrence? If so, should I try to return it for a new one? E
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) would not typically have that issue. I would suggest conacting RIP-IT's warranty line at 888-957-4748. They should be able to talk you through the replacement process to get you a new model sent out.
Patrick
Can the Rip-It Helium run out of helium? If it does, what should I do? nick
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) should not allow the compressed helium in the barrel to escape. If it does, it would mean there is a defect in the bat and you should contact Rip-It to discuss warranty replacement.
Patrick
Is this bat legal in GSA? Also, can I use the bat in high school without an issue with the umpires? Dylan
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) is BBCOR certified and is legal for high school and collegiate play and any league that allows for use of BBCOR certified bats.
Patrick
How do the Helium and Prime 915 compare as far as balance ad swing speed? I swing an LS Assault right now and it's very good, but I'm looking for an edge.... bkomoose
The 2015 RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H ) and the 2016 Louisville Slugger Prime 916 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBP9163) are both great bats to consider. The RIP-IT is an aluminum bat while the LS 916 is a composite. The aluminum will be ready to use right out of the box while the composite will need a break-in period of 150-200 tee/soft toss swings. A unique feature with the RIP-IT makes it slightly better for cold temperatures while the LS has a three-piece composite design. Both feature a 30 day guarantee so you could essentially end up using both bats figuring out which one gives you the balance and swing speed you are searching for.
Cameron
Would this bat break or get damaged hitting dimple balls? Jr
Here at JustBats, we do not recommend using the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H with the yellow dimple balls as it will decrease the overall life of that particular bat and increase its chances of becoming defective.
John P.
Would this bat compare to the CF7 in terms of light swing weight? Jeff
Yes, the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H and the CF7 are both very well balanced bats and both have a light swing weight.
Marcus
How does the sweet spot size of the Rip-it Helium compare to that of other bats? It looks considerably smaller. Greg
The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H will have a smaller barrel length in comparison to other models but the sweet spot will remain the same.
John P.
How long does the helium stay in this bat? And can it be recharged? jm
The helium in this RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) should remain in the bat for the entire life-span of the bat. However, if the bat becomes defective, the helium could leak from the bat. Sadly if this bat were to become defective and the helium leaked out, the bat would not be able to be recharged with helium. However, the bat does come with a 400 day warranty period on it and if it became defective within that 400 day period, you would be able to obtain a replacement model for no additional charge from JustBats.
Ben
How does this bat compare to the 2016 Rip-It Element TWO BBCOR baseball bat: BAC? Which one would be better in terms of durability and pop? kid pitcher
The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H is a five piece construction that will have the barrel compressed using helium gas which is said to allow for maximum trampoline effect and performance while the Element TWO is a two-piece hybrid design that will feature an alloy barrel and a composite handle. As far as durability and pop goes, that is hard to say as it is subjective depending upon who you ask but both models are very highly reviewed in those categories.
John P.
If something were to happen to the bat, how would I go about contacting RIP-IT Sports and getting a replacement? baseball giant
If you purchase the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H from JustBats, the warranty replacement would go directly through us. You are eligible for a replacement within 400 days from the date of purchase. You would need to call our customer service department at 866-321-2287 to get the warranty process set up.
Angelique

John
What is better for a power hitter: this Rip-It Helium BBCOR or the Z-Core Hybrid TORQ? Dave
Both this RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) and the 2016 Easton Z-CORE Hybrid TORQ (BB16ZHT) will come with two-piece designs and both bats will also have with pretty balanced swing weights. Overall, I would say that both bats will give a power hitter the same advantage.
Ben
Can it be 29 inches in length? marty
Unfortunately, the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H is only available in a 32" or 33" length.
Jason
If I used this bat and I did not like it, could I return it for a different bat or for my money back? Evan
This RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H) no longer features any trial period on it. Because of that, it could not be sent back to JustBats after it was used for a full refund or exchange.
Ben
How does this bat compare to the rip-it element 1 and 2? taco
All of the bats are going to have a different design. The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H features a five-piece design, whereas the 2016 RIP-IT Element ONE BBCOR Baseball Bat: BA features a one-piece alloy construction and the 2016 RIP-IT Element TWO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BAC feature a two-piece hybrid construction with the alloy barrel and composite handle. The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H and 2016 RIP-IT Element TWO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BAC are both going to feature balanced swing weights, while the 2016 RIP-IT Element ONE BBCOR Baseball Bat: BA features a slight end load. Lastly, the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H features a barrel that is compressed with Helium gas. This is said to help maximize trampoline effect and performance.

The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H is an approved bat for high school and college baseball players.
Cameron

Unfortunately the RIP-IT Helium only comes in the -3 BBCOR size. At this moment in time there is no plans to come out with a -5 or any new RIP-IT Helium.
Carter

The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H is legal for play in the Colt (15-16 years old) and Palomino (15-18 years old) divisions. Players in the younger divisions cannot use a BBCOR certified bat, and must use a USSSA certified bat.
Angelique
I'm 5'9" and 190 lbs. What size bat should I get? Is this bat for a power hitter? biggun
For your height and weight, we recommend a 33" bat length. The RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H has a multi-piece construction with a balanced swing weight. This bat can be used by both contact and power hitters, however this type of construction is generally preferred by contact hitters.
Angelique

Jason
I am playing in a 12u tournament in August in Cooperstown NY for my travel team, will this bat be legal for that tournament? sheehsu
According to Cooperstowns website the only rule for bats is that they cannot exceed 2 3/4" barrel diameter so you would be able to use the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat (B1503H). We do not typically recommend using BBCOR bats unless you are in high school or play in a league that requires them through.
Carter
My son is 5'10 and 150 lbs. Would this bat size be good for him or do think a 32 be better for him? Mike R
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 32" model of the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H. However, he could bump up to a 33" if you feel that he could handle the slightly bigger size.
Jason
Is this bat balanced? STEFAN
Yes, the RIP-IT Helium BBCOR Baseball Bat: B1503H is a very balanced bat.
