Great Composite! Wayne parent
Pros: Don't be afraid of this composite bat. My son has always bought another brand's composite bats, but because of the time of year, none were available. Thought we'd try this bat and have not been disappointed. Great pop and feel. Lizard skin grip is an added bonus. Bat seems to be as hot as the other brand that we normally buy.
Cons: None so far

Is there a big difference in the performance of the 915 compared to the newer 916? I understand the composite material is different and the grip is better in the 916, but performance wise, does the ball "pop" the same off the 915 as it would the 916? kenny

I have read some bad durability reviews on this same bat, but in the -3 BBCOR style. No reviews to go off of for the -5. Has LS given people a hard time on returns for defects before the 12 month warranty? Are there a lot of options in stock? Dew

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.
