Pros And Cons of the Rip-It BBCOR AIR Bat Luke Dutta player
Pros: - doesn't sting too much when ball is hit off of the end of the bat - feels good when ball is hit - doesn't feel extremely heavy - end of handle is tapered, makes evens out the weight of the bat
Cons: - cap of the bat is plastic (a friend of mine broke part of the cap during his first hitting session, but this isn't a huge problem

Brayden Woodburn Brayden Woodburn player
Pros: has good pop and the bat all around is pretty good.
Cons: there is a little more weight to the front of the bat but nothing else
Misericordia University Baseball Kyle Lindsay player
Pros: Our team uses this bat and couldn't be more pleased. This bat has a ton of pop, a great grip, and the durability to withstand a 50+ game season. It is well balanced and comes through the zone great.
Cons: None!
Big fan of this bat Chris Boroch player
Pros: I was a big advocate of the 2014 model, and the 2015 model doesn't disappoint. The general feel of the bat is especially what keeps me loyal to it and all other Rip-It's. Nothing gives me more confidence than stepping into the box with the Rip-It AIR and knowing I can turn around whatever that pitcher's best pitch is. That confident feeling combined with the pop and grip it has makes it the best bat option out there. HIGHLY recommend.
Cons: none
Best bat!!!!!!! Jacob player
Pros: everything, this bat is the best thing since slice bread.
Cons: none

Rip It bat Grant Schwartz player
Pros: I just got my Rip It bat and I love it. It has great pop to it and it is very light. I really like how the bat looks. The ball feels great when it is coming off of the barrel of the bat.
Cons:
Very reliable bat Max Sims player
Pros: Ball flies off the bat and I love the grip on the bat
Cons: None
Best bbcor my son has used J. Garcia parent
Pros: This bat is very balanced, feels lighter than what it really is makes it really quick to turn on whatever pitch is thrown. First game my son used it, he went yard dead center. So it's a good bat for power and contact hitters alike. Nice grip also.
Cons: I wish we would have tried it sooner!
Solid Bat For The Money Luke player
Pros: Grip is fantastic. Big sweet spot. Very Balanced. Great pop and sound. Using this in HS and I love it, i choose it over my team mates Mako, Velo, S1, Voodoo, Cat 6, and Vexxum.
Cons: Mishit balls are not rewarded. Grip doesnt stay white, obviously. Gets dirty easily.
Not a bad bat EvyK player
Pros: Very balanced and overall a very good bat
Cons: Handle started to wear away very quickly. Lost most of its pop early into the season but I used it all winter.

best bat sayo player
Pros: first hit i had was a solo shot to right center, 2nd hr of the year
Cons: none babbyy
Amazing Bat Scott player
Pros: Balanced swing weight, amazing pop, and it intimidates the pitcher. Also has comfortable grip.
Cons: Barrel seems a tad small (but that is just my opinion because I have been using end loaded bats). Everyone wants to use it.
Already Returned for Refund Johnny Nothappy player
Pros: None
Cons: Already returned for refund. Paint was chipping off within days. Cap came off handle end within 3 weeks leaving exposed drill hole. Bought a Mako
RIP it Kent Murphy other
Pros: Everything
Cons: The pitchers won't throw it to me.
Disappointed SandShark player
Pros: The only good thing about this bat is it's a Rip-It
Cons: I'm a huge Rip-It fan, but this bat is a big disappointment. There's no pop to speak of, the sweet spot is just about nil and vibration is an issue. I've used just about every Rip-It there is and have always loved the bats, but this bat just isn't up to snuff compared to Rip-It's other offers. I suspect that's why this bat is available at huge discounts. I would suggest skipping this bat and going to the Helium, but know the Helium leans a bit to the end loaded line of bats and swings heavier than the usually balanced Rip-It bats.
I love this bat Tony Morgan player
Pros: Amazing pop nicely end loaded cool graphics and doesn't sting when you get jammed
Cons: None!!
Brian
Pros: 34/31 BBCOR Air. Im 6' 200#s 3-4-5 type hitter. The reason I got this bat was too have a more durable option for batting cages. I really enjoy swinging wood bats. I wanted a metal bat that was similar to my 34/31 Baum Bat. It seems the air is more endloaded than the Baum Bat...but its close. Definately not an endloaded bat by any means. The taper is stiff...good for me I find 2 piece bats don't fit my swing type at all. I lose distance with 2 piece bats. The barrel is soft if that makes any sense. That will take some getting used too. I have recently started to practice hitting lefty. So this is what I do. 2 rounds in 80 right 2 rounds in 75 lefty. I did that set three times total. The bat held up just fine. Mind you I'm not hitting it on the screws consistently lefty. So durability wise so far so good. The exit speed doesn't seem as good as my Baum Bat. The sweet spot is definately big though.
Cons: None really right now. I hit often in the batting cage so if this bat lasts more than a month I'll be pretty happy. If it makes it to spring I'll be ecstatic. I'm not gonna lie I plan on hitting the snot out of this bat.
rip-it air baseball player
Pros: I've used many brands (easton, slugger, demarini), but i tried rip-it a few years ago and i havent used another since. I really like their bats. good balance good pop
Cons: vibrations
Rip-It BBCOR Air Hunter9636 player
Pros: Has good pop, has a good swing weight, and I like the 32.5 option. I swing the 32.5 and that length is perfect for me. First time using Rip-It and I would definitely recommend.
Cons: End cap is plastic.
Good Bat Omar player
Pros: Love this bat
Cons: None yet
RIP IT BBCOR BAT AJ player
Pros: SWEET FEELING AND QUICK SPEED WHEN SWINGING. GREAT ON THE GRIP AND GOOD POP ON CONTACT.
Cons: FEW CHIPS FROM USE NOTHING MAJOR.
the lazy lefty Z Alexander player
Pros: looks good
Cons: its to end heavy, the swing is terrible and the ball comes off the bat like garbage. I cant return it and now I'm stuck with a bat that is really awful. my parents are on a fixed income and 100 dollars for this high school ball player is still expensive.

Is the 2015 Rip-it Air an end loaded bat or balanced? ba
Is this bat good for a power hitter? Cuffbaseball
How long would you say this bat would last? baseballislife_14
I'm 6'6'' and about 320 lbs. At this point, I only use 34'' or above bats. I'm torn between this bat and the BBCOR Vapor by Louisville Slugger. The Rip-II Air comes in 34'', so does the Vapor, just not on your site. Now, I certainly am not a lead-off/contact hitter, but then again I don't go deep every time. I'm somewhere in the middle but more of a power hitter. I've previously been a TPX guy, having a z-1000 then an Exogrid 3, but I don't exactly have it in the budget for something in that price range. So which would better sit my needs of hitting it hard every time but not classifying myself as power or contact? I just want a good bat, I'll handle the rest. 30NoahSQ
