Cons: none
Keegz.
Pros: This bat is great! Even when I didn't put the best swing on the ball, I still got a good result. The pop of the sweet spot feels great.
Cons: Price is high, but worth it.
AKSB12
Pros: huge sweet spot! awesome feel... hands down, the best Anderson fp bat ever made. (better than the '04 Rockettech)
Cons: pretty expensive... but worth every penny.

Cons: none

Pros: great bat my daughter got a double first swing! Great pop no break in just enjoy!
Cons: none
jaj23
Pros: Pop was good but still lacking behind the composites. The bat is an upgrade from previous RTs but not better than the original RT.
Cons: A lil pricy, it dented within the first month. Anderson replaced is no questions asked. Hopefully the replacement will last longer.
Fastpitch is life
Pros: I was impressed with the overall performance and finish of this product. Great Pop. My daughter loves to swing this bat.
Cons: A little pricey.
gt1116
Pros: Super well balanced. Nice pop. No down side like comp bats. No break-in required. DD calls it metal version of Stealth Speed.
Cons: NOT the bat if you like the standard Rocketeck! No end loading at all, requires bat speed to perform. Apples and oranges with Rocketech style.
cmjr1212
Pros: talk about launch pad! if the ball even sniffs that gray part of the barrel it's gone! great balance, not end loaded and doesn't need to be. my power hitters put it to the fence every time with this one.
Cons: the -10 is a little heavy for skinny girls against faster pitchers. would love it even more if they came out with a -12 too.
SoftballGirl23
Pros: Best bat I've ever had. The ball shoots off the sweet spot even if I don't swing hard. I just used it for try outs and it went over the fence on my 3rd swing with it!
Cons: Absolutely nothing! Worth every penny!
Softball Player
Pros: well I used it for soft-toss, and the ball didn't go much firther than with my old synergy clarity, BUT when I hit off of live pitching, Man it FLEW! I got 3 triples in a row at try-outs, I made the team No question! If the ball hits the grey spot, it's gone. you don't have to swing that hard for it to go far, but the harder you swing, the further it goes. It's just an Amazing Bat. Worth the price
Cons: DO NOT USE WITH BATTING CAGE BALLS. The dimpled balls WILL damage the bat. Other than that, nothing at all!
softball99
Pros: A great bat my daughter loves swinging this bat and has hit 14 home runs since June with it and lots of triples, doubles, and singles. She tells me that the balance is great and gives her the ablity to place the ball where she whats it and now since having the Nanotek she leaves the composits in the bag and refuses to use them.
Cons: We have found no problems with this bat at all.
cgp89
Pros: HAPPY! is all i can say i received my daughters bat the day they said i would,I got just in time for her tournament, sad part is they kept walking her we didnt get to see the ball in action so i took her to the batting cages after her games and it did all it was ment to do and more she slammed everyone cant wait for her next game monday:) i recommend it 110% worth every cent:))
Cons: none!!!!
Fast pitch fever
Pros: My 12-year old daughter has used a composite bat, 31/19. I wanted a bit more weight and length for her. I was worried about going to the 32/22, and worried about leaving the composite world. She loves this bat! The ball pops off the bat noticeably more than the old bat. She is one of the smallest on the team, but with this bat she can reach deep into the outfield. So fun to watch her play.
Cons: None really. It may take a while to adjust to the weight in regards to the fastest pitching, but shouldn't take long. Coaches all say great choice. A bit pricey, of course, but aren't they all.
draxx
Pros: although they say its a balanced bat it doesnt feel any different to swing my daughter says .having used rocket tech her whole career she is very pleased with pop and the much larger sweet spot she also said "it doesnt like to pop up" which is a good thing after it breaks in it is hot very hot
Cons: this bat DOES need to break in . it also will sound like an old cheap single wall aluminum bat
Randy
Pros: Nice bat, very responsive, large sweet spot.
Cons: paint chips easy, kinda ugly.
jplum13
Pros: I bought this bat for my wife. She likes a balanced bat and the Nanotek has been great. This bat swings very balanced and has worked well for slowpitch and fastpitch ball. It really doesn't need any break in time. Pop was great right out of the wrapper. If you like an endload, try a Rocketech, but if a balanced bat suits your swing, the Nanotek will make you very happy!
Cons: None!
krunchyfrogg
Pros: Best bat I've ever seen in fastpitch. I bought one for my cousin (Junior in HS), and it turned her from a gap hitter into a home run threat.
Cons: A little pricy, but worth it.
CoachC
Pros: Great pop. No break in. Ball jumps off this one even with slappers.
Cons: My daughter used it for 2 seasons mostly slapping. The paint on the barrel is now completely gone. Started chipping after first season so warranty was gone and now it won't pass pregame inspections. So I just use it to hit fly balls to the team. Too bad, it was a good bat but definitely wouldn't buy another one.
tigerk
Pros: Liked the balance and sound of this bat.
Cons: Went dead after 6 months...thought it was technique until we picked up a Xeno. Night and day, no comparison
Smitty
Pros: Well balanced, solid bat.
Cons: Sweet spot is too small. Not much pop in this bat for smaller girls. Jumps off of the sweet spot or nothing.
Lisa23
Pros: Definetly the best bat I have had in a long time. It's sweet spot sends it soaring and the rest of the bat hits normally. I essesually liked that even when I barley clipped the ball it went flying. On top of all that, it has next to no back vibrations that will hurt you hands.
Cons: A bit pricey, and could be a little heavy for some people, but you can fix that with a little work on your part.
I would never recommend this bat. softballplayer11 player
Pros: Made in the U.S.A
Cons: I used this bat for my last year in 14u and the winter season of 16u and I personally feel the bat has no pop. I feel like you have to swing extremely hard for the ball to go anywhere. Also, the bat has a aluminum wall so when you hit the ball the sound is very unappealing. I chose this bat because I trusted Anderson bats because I had used their Rocketechs a large portion of my life..this is nothing like the Rocketechs. In the review you read from the stores and such they talk about the sweet spot but truly this bat is awful.

About the Brand
A High-Tech Engineer, a Sales Manager for a chemical company, and a Professional Yacht Racer with a background in mechanical engineering are not likely to have much in common. But they did, and still do. You guessed it…SOFTBALL.
Our passion for “Diamond” sports goes back many years, but it was about 10 years ago that we started manufacturing and private labeling our bats for other companies. In 1999, Steven Anderson designed a new multi-wall high-performance bat that featured our patented “Power Arch” technology. After thorough testing, it was ready for the company that we designed it for, but they were going through a transition period and were not ready to move on it.
Here was the bummer, our team was counting on using these bats in a big tournament that was just a month away and we could not put their graphics on the bats until the deal between the two of us was inked.
Steven offered a solution … they are already certified by the governing bodies so why don’t we put our own graphics on them and use them in the tourney. What a great idea and that is exactly what we did.
I was driving to the plant the next morning wearing my championship “T” shirt and had no idea that when I arrived at 6:30 am that the message machine would be filled and the phones would be ringing. The messages and the calls were all basically the same … “How do I get my hands on one of those new Anderson Techwraps”?
That is how it started, and since then we have released the FlexTech, FastTech, RocketTech, TechZilla, Pyrotech, and we are not done.
Let me tell you a little secret……THE BEST IS YET TO COME…GO DEEP, GO VERY VERY DEEP
