Pros: I have had this bat for two weeks now and it is one of a kind. We used to swing coach pitch but decided to try this one due to the weight. It feels much more durable than coach pitch bats of the past, and appears to have similar pop. Price is fair compared to other Big Barrel bats. No complaints so far from my 10 year old.
Cons: None so far
Pros: Excellent bat for a smaller framed player. My 10 year old can really get this -12 bat around.
Cons: Little pricey, shouldn't use in most batting cages.
Pros: Great bat. Very solid feel and excellent sounding pop. Great end dampening and no paint issues yet.
Cons: None
Pros: Light weight with great pop. Our team likes it so much we got it in 29/17, 30/18, 31/19 & 32/20. maximum length with minimum weight = bat speed
Cons: Every one wants to use it!
Pros: this bat is AWESOME...my son & his team-mates love it...the sound is great as well as the feel. i got the 30/18 for my 9yr old who is a bit bigger than average & his smaller framed friends use it as well & adapted to it immediately
Cons: everyone in the team wants to use it instead of buying their own!!!!!
Pros: The bat is definitely designed for smaller and lighter hitters. Ball explodes off the bat.
Cons: My son is 9 years old and about 65 lbs. The bat cracked after only about 20 pitches. I give it a minus 2 for durability. Waiting to get the warranty replacement.
Pros: My son loves his bat. He plays Elite level 11u and is only 76 lbs and the drop 12 allows him to use longer bat while still create bat speed. With the new bat rules the Triton is the best -12 on the market.
Cons: Only con is that everyone on the team wants to use it.
Pros: None
Cons: Cracked in half after less than 20 swings.
Pros: Excellent contact on the ball and lasts.
Cons: Can't use it in batting cages or cold weather according to the pros.
Pros: This bat has the largest drop weight allowed. It is solid and has a great feel to it. Perfect bat for the player that dosen't have the fastest bat speed. Ball flys off the bat and has a large sweet spot.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: BEST BAT IN THE WORLD
Cons: NONE
Pros: NONE
Cons: It is light, but a terrible bat with no pop. DO NOT BUY THIS BAT!
Pros: 6 year old coach pitch team loves this bat (27/15). Between this and it's more expensive brother it's all we use.
Cons: Only gave it 4 stars because a 6 yr. old doesn't have the power to see what the bat can do. If it was 25% less expensive I would've bought (2).
Pros: Light awing weight is great for smaller players. Bat has great bat too.
Cons: none
Pros: starting to get great pop after very little use. my son is 9, but only 4 feet tall and 56 lbs and he gets around pretty well with this bat. great looking bat as well. have the 28/16
Cons: pricey. black paint on small part of bat starting to chip. NO BIG DEAL
Pros: I was surprised how hot it was out of the wrapper. Great pop. I recommend this bat for the smaller player.
Cons:
Pros: Sick bat. Moved my son from a TPX Omaha (which we loved) to the trition which is 1 in longer and 1 oz lighter. Batspeed is way up. Ball jumps (we have over 500 swings in with no problem with cracks)
Cons: None. I love it.
Pros: Keeps getting better and with the -12 even the smaller kids swing it.
Cons: None other than cost
Pros: lightweight
Cons: Just purchased bat three weeks ago and the bat cracked in half while my son was batting with it in a game. Terrible bat for the price. Very disappointed. No pop either.
Pros: 9 year can get this bat through the strike zone. Machine pitch 40 MPH. Great big sweet spot. It is the kid swinging the bat, but all things being equal, he really gets this bat around much better than his 27 17 Easton.
Cons: 250 bucks. Hard to teach my little guy the value of a buck when I drop this kind of cash on his bat.
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: My 9 year old broke this bat in 3 weeks. For $249.00, i expected more.
Pros: Excellent bat for the younger players. The -12 allows the younger kids to use a longer bat without sacrificing bat speed.
Cons:
Pros:
Cons: My son used this bat during a hitting expo (indoors). He hit it very well. We purchased it and used it outside 60 degree weather for 2 months and now it sounds like a broken tree branch. For $250 we should get more value for our money. Dont buy this unless you are rich!
Pros: lightweight
Cons: no pop in bat. after 4 months of owning bat and everyone on team trying it bat never got hot. would not recommend.
Pros: This bat has a huge sweetspot. Doesnt hurt your hands if you hit it off the handle or end of the bat. Hits are solid
Cons: I had one of the earlier tritons and it just broke after 2 years. Many of my teammates had tritons and they all broke within a year of buying it. It lost a lot of its pop pretty quick.Ive hit 3 home runs with it but i expected a lot more.
Pros: Great bat so far. Not many swings and already has a lot of pop. The -12 is great.
Cons:
Pros: dude in one game I hit 100 home runs beast bat
Cons: none dude totally awsome
Pros: awesome pop, increased bat speed. My boy loved this bat. Had to have 1000 or more solid hits off it before it snapped in two.
Cons: seeing my 9yr old son cry out on the field after hitting a ball on the end and snapped it in two.
Pros: really good bat your kids
Cons:
Pros: This bat has AMAZING pop easily hitting the ball out of the infield! The -12 length to weight ratio helps with great bat speed. With the price of the bat DROPING 100 DOLLARS this bat could easily be the best bat on the market!!!! !!!buy this bat for ur kids!!!
Cons: I used the the triton 1,three piece bat and had amazing pop. I was a little mad that they changed the model but makes no difference!!!!!!
Pros: Light Weight for faster bat speed.
Cons: Needs The Bigger Barrel 2 3/4 like the older Tritons those were great bats!!!
Pros: great balance and feel perfect bat for my small 10 year old
Cons: none
Pros: Great bat.Lots of pop.
Cons: None
Pros: Its nice to get the -12 in a Senior League bat. Pop is ok, hopefully gets better once it is broken in.
Cons: Doesn't seem to have the pop i was looking for, in the bats defense my boy has only hit couple hundred balls with it. If the pop comes around i would give it 5 stars.
Pros: Just got this bat and it's very good. Everyone wants to use it has a just pop, sweat spot.
Cons: None
Pros: I play on a select team and have have this bat for two weeks and it is great good sound and great pop
Cons: Everyone wants to use it
Pros: Good sound great pop smooth feel
Cons: Everyone wants to use it haha
Pros: Great bat for my 8 year old son, good pop and easy to swing!
Cons:
Pros: Great pop and weight distribution. He hasn't had it long enough to comment on the durability. The break-in was easy 300 balls off a tee from "number 16" and twice I hit infield to the boys.
Cons: I didn't buy it earlier in the season.
Pros: Im a power hitter that went from gettin fly outs in the outfield to smackin them over the fence in no time. This bat way better than my demarini voodoo.
Cons: None.
Pros: Worked great, then it cracked three games into use
Cons:
Pros: The bat looks nice and has an average pop
Cons: A Kid on my team used it three times, he hit a homerun and then another homerun, and after the 2nd homerun on the third at bat the bat split in half and went flying back to the pitcher
Pros: So far my 10 year old using the 30/18 has hit a few singles but for the first time ever he hit a HOME RUN. He loves the bat. He said it feels good in his hands and when he is swinging he can easily bring it around. He plays on a 10U travel team.
Cons: The only con, he does not like the tape used for the grip says it feels funny. So the coach will be retaping.
Pros: great pop, nice sound, light
Cons: none
Pros: Great pop! Not even 100 hits on the bat and my kid is crushing the ball. Put this bat up against anyother. Great price!
Cons: None.
Pros: Bat is light and after 100 hits (breaking in) seemed to have more pop...prior to 100 hits...disappointed in pop. Purchased 30" 18oz, 2 5/8. pReviously, owned 2 3/4, 28" 18oz and this had plently of pop. Maybe adding one more ounce to the 30", 18oz would add more pop. Overall son (10 years old) likes design and feel/pop and other kids on team use the bat.
Cons:
Pros: Good pop ,great balance
Cons: Nothing great bat
Pros: Good pop ,great balance
Cons: Nothing great bat
Pros: Just got this bat and my son really likes it. Bat has good pop. Fly Balls are higher and further grounders are faster and stronger than previous 30 in. 17 oz Warrior my son was using.
Cons: Wont get to put it to use in live action until upcoming fall season.
Pros: I like to use reviews for my choices in purchasing expensive bats. So I will be honest! I brought 2 of these bats for my son and step-son. My 8yr old is about 65lbs so I got him a 28-16oz. My step son is 9yrs old and 79lbs so I got him a 30-18oz. The bat has a really good pop if your kid can hit the ball. Good enough that almost all the kids on the team used it. I was worried about the durability because the whole team was using it. But it lasted the whole season from start to finish and is ready for next season. I can't wait to see the performance next season. Also this bat was $250 when I brought it.
Cons: None yet
Pros: Nice price
Cons: Cracked after about 2weeks
Pros: Light, no sting, easy to swing, and new USSSA stamp.
Cons: Everyone wants to use it.
Pros: My son hit the ball well first time out. I threw about 150 pitches and the bat looked like it was already broken in right out of the wrapper. My son really likes the weight and feel of the bat. He just went up from a 30/18 Easton S1 to the 31/19 Triton 2. I was definitely impressed with what I saw from this bats performance
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Good sweet spot. Great for smaller players. Warranty exchange process is easy.
Cons: Broke in half third game of season.
Pros: This was for my 10 yr old and it has lots of pop right out of the box
Cons: None
Pros: very solid bat with good pop.
Cons:
Pros: Great bat at first good pop;great weight to length. My kid loved it.
Cons: bat cracked after just 2 months of light use. And it cracked on the sweet spot.
Pros: My son used this bat an entire AAA Traveling season. No dents, cracks or other issues. He is a trim lad and could really gets some bat speed from this -12. Used it in the cages several times with no issues. I may upgrade to a larger -12, but may try to get another season out of it if he doesn't grow too much. Buy this bat!

Pros: My son is small body wise so this bat is light enough and has a nice pop. My son is very happy with this bat. Big plus it's a big barrel
Cons: Cost..

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.
