Pros: HAS THE BEST POP YOU WILL NEVER FIND A BAT LIKE THIS.THIS BAT HITS LONG HOMERUNS.INSTEAD OF THE MAKO GET THIS ONE MAKO HAS LITTLE POP

Super GREAT Bat!!! BigDaddy1014 parent
Pros: This bat is hotter than "French Fry Grease" right out of the wrapper!!! Solid contact with NO vibration, even if you hit it near the end cap. We've been a Combat family for years, but Louisville Slugger just changed our minds. My 12 year old son hit a long stand up double with his first at bat in Middle School ball. He is only 12. Very impressed with the 30 day "Tyr it or return it" offer. Great graphics, great feel and very solid overall. My son LOVES it!!
Cons: It took me too long to purchase it!
The Bat To Own Anonymous parent
Pros: My son plays year round ball and because of every b-day or holiday he now owns a COMBAT Portent, Easton XL1 and this 2014 LS ATTACK. In comparison the Combat is a very good bat that has the largest sweet spot of the three. Down side is its barrel seems to have less of a trampling effect & less of a pop then the other two. The XL1 is a great bat that launches balls with its trampling effect..XL1 seems to be more top loaded then the other two. The XL1 is a top notch bat. As for this new Attack bat it seems more balanced in weight, which has the boy swinging the bat faster then the other two. The ball launches off this bat faster and farther then the other two bats. Pretty much the boy is killing it . Bottom line is I would highly recommend the 2014 Attack
Cons: Beware: The older 2013 Attack is prone to cracking, the newer model is designed differently.

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.
