Pros: Nice bat with great pop. Very large sweet spot and forgiving on miss hits. The weight of this bat is end loaded.
Cons:
The Greatest
Pros: Looks cool. Some pop
Cons: Sounds weird
KJ
Pros: Great pop, all my sons teammates use it and its very durable. The grip is awesome to. Never any vibration.
Cons: Its a bit expensive but with the warranty and love it or return in thing, it is well worth it (thus far)
Jake
Pros: It has a sleek look, great pop, great warranty, and the "Love it or Return it" policy is perfect for today's market.
Cons: None yet.
Travis G
Pros: Another awesome bat put out by Rip-It. Hands down the best bat out right now! Huge sweet spot. My players love it!
Cons: None.
JLeon
Pros: Really balanced and not top heavy like other bats, also my son has been hitting the ball much harder with it! He loves it!
Cons: Would like to see a different color on the handle, the white gets really dirty.
Plauner
Pros: My Son's 10u Travel team uses this bat, has a ton of pop. Great deal for the price. Love the colors on it, too.
Cons: None.
Stewbaca
Pros: 1 BP so far. My 5ft 100 lb 12U son hit 4HR last season just put 4 over the fence out of 50 pitches, a couple of which were DEEP. Not just homers either, more than a handful of hot one hoppers to the fence. This bat really transfers energy, will help a good player get great results. Serious pop right out of the wrapper. EXTREMELY balanced. My son says it swings lighter than his 2011 Exogrid 30" -8.5 and the Rip-it is a 31" -8.5. 1 inch longer and swings lighter, that's what I'm talking about. We tried it because of the 30 day return. We were going to get the new exo but he wanted to try this and WOW is all I can say, it wont be going back.
Cons: Red or even tan grip would have been better as this one is already not white anymore. I don't care though, this bat is well worth the money.
J
Pros: Awesome Bat, my boy loves it
Cons:

warrior34
Pros: Great pop, not a lot of sting on a inside pitch.
Cons: Another player has one on my middle school team and he has broke it 2 times.
Will
Pros: It has very good pop when it is first used.
Cons: it cracked in two after about a month and a half. it does not last very long at all
Jake
Pros: Good pop, good weight
Cons: Had 3 in the last month and first the cap broke off, the second broke on the inside, and the third split down the barrel.
cj
Pros: None.
Cons: Just ordered this bat my son used it for 3 games, it ended up with 3 big dents. RIP-IT sent me another one just like it, my son used it for 2 games and it also ended up with 2 huge dents in it. He had the red RIP-IT bat last year and I will say it was a good bat and we didn't have any problems with it. It was just time to get a bigger bat.
baseball dad
Pros: This bat has incredible pop, just like we read about.
Cons: Unfortunately, one month after using the bat, something detached inside and started rattling. RIP-IT replaced it. Unfortunately, the new replacement RIP-IT bat BROKE IN HALF when my 13 year old boy hit a fastball during a game, leaving all bewildered. RIP-IT refunded our $ no problems.

Is this bat leagal for Babe Ruth league 13-15 yr olds? Mr.BBall
Other places describe RIP-IT bat as 2 5/8 or 2 3/4 barrel diameter. Which is it? huh
Is the bat 2 3/4? I thought USSSA only approved 2 5/8? DFW
Does this come in a drop 3 or not? zeike
Why are there so few 2 3/4 drop 8 or 8.5 options? Do you expect more? How would the Rip It compare to the COMbat 52 Caliber? Dr. Evo
Does this bat sound like a wood bat? and is it balanced? nick
My 13 year old is a smaller, contact hitter and uses a balanced bat. Is the RIP-IT balanced or more weighted at the barrel? at51
Is the -8.5 more end loaded that the -10. Aside from the obvious, I'm wondering about the difference between these two bats. Jeff
Two questions. We have a 2012 RIP-IT bat. Does it lose it's pop? Going on second season now. Second question, if I buy the new 2013 RIP-IT which would be better for my son, the -8.5 or -10? He is 13 and a big 13 year old and strong hitter.Thanks. Crissy
What is the difference in the new 2013 RIP-IT -8.5 and the 2012 -8.5? We have the 2012 RIP-IT and my son loves it but the last few games it seems like it is losing its pop. Is that possible only being a 2012? jason
Is this bat legal for 2013 Dixie 12 & under? tito
