Pros: Right out of the wrapper and son (12 years old. 5' 4" 98 pound athlete) hit 240 foot bomb and two bounced to the 300 foot fence. For a stand up triple. Didn't have time to break it in. Replaced Demarini CF Zen bat that was ruled illegal by USSSA. Seems to have just as much pop as the CF Zen did. Son loves the feel and says it is balanced like the CF Zen. Going to buy my 10 year old the same bat.
Cons: None I can think of.
Pros: ordered this bat over night and when it arrived we tore the wrapper off and hit 150 side toss bat sounded great and we could tell that there was tons of pop. The Louisville slugger prime 917's are AMAZING thanks L.S.
Cons: I ordered after a super long day at work and ordered the wrong size bat 31/21 for my son and had to reorder the right size 30/20
Pros: Ive only uswd this bat for a little while but when i used it, it felt like there was a good amount of pop, some vibration, but it felt very good when you squared the ball up.
Cons: the bat doesnt have the best pop put there and there is some vibration

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.
