power and durable all in one Dustin Jones player

Pros: The bat felt exactly how it was described. It has a big barrel and fit perfectly into my game. I bought 2 for the season and did not break one. One of my bats took a few jam shots near the logo but the bat didn't break and it still performed awesome.

Cons: I wish it was available in the charcoal handle black barrel that bwp has on their website it looks awesome.
