Pros: This bat is freakin'awesome! I've only used it a couple times in batting practice but this bat is going to be amazing. It has so much pop, you just feel so strong when the ball shoots off the bat. plus, it has VIOLENT SOUND!!
Cons: The length to weight ratio is more of a -7 than a -8 but it doesnt really matter I should have had a heavier bat anyway.
Coach D
Pros: My son really likes this bat, have been only using inside right now for soft toss, tee work, and some live hitting. Bat has great pop and a massive barrel
Cons: With such a large barrel it is a little top heavy. Compaired with new cf5, the XL1 feels more top heavy
DADAWG
Pros: This bat is really good and has a massive sweet spot....i cant wait till season starts
Cons: since it has such a big barrel for some hitters it is going to be hard to get ur bat speed up but u will get used to it

redbirdguy#00
Pros: I am in love with this bat. I used it in my 11u nations baseball tourny, and it was great. It was cold and the ball still flew off the bat. I went 4 for 4 with 2 walks. I would definently recomend this for power hitters, who like composite bats.
Cons: None.
Bam Bam
Pros: This bat is amazing! best bat i have ever owned. HUGE sweet spot, awesome pop and great grip this is by far the best bat on the market.
Cons: none at all.
Holt Rams u13 Gold
Pros: Good pop, no sting in hands, and looks sweet too.
Cons: Needs between 100 and 300 hits off the tee to get proper break in.
dylan
Pros: best bat ever 350 home run. i swung really late on the ball but because of the massive sweetspot i got all of it
Cons: none
hodaddy
Pros: The ball jumps off the barrel. My son is 8 years old and plays 9U. He uses this bat for slower pitchers. It helps keep his hands back and he crushs the ball to a 200 ft fence. My sons only weighs 75lbs but he is strong enough to uses a drop 8 on slower pitchers. On faster pitchers he uses a S1 drop 10.
Cons: none
Rube
Pros: My son plays 13U travel ball, and he loves this bat. It has tons of pop and very little to no sting. He also has a CF5 and a EXO, and likes this bat best as do other players on the team.
Cons: It is a little end loaded, so it takes some getting used to.
stowe
Pros: this bat is the best bat i ever had it has a lot of pop and the graphics are beastly yeah it is a little pricy but believe me if you are a power hitter this bats is just for you.
Cons: the grip gets dirty easy but who cares
Holt Rams
Pros: None
Cons: This bat cracked after about a month. Has no pop.
NJ

BATMAN 27
Pros: good bat, everyone on team wants to use it, has alot of pop
Cons: Not the cheapest bat, but you pay for what you get!
Johan
Pros: Great Pop. Nice bat, easy swing, the whole team likes to use it.
Cons: The white part of the handle does get dirty quick but who care? If you smash a new baseball in the right spot the printing off the ball can imprint on the bat
jay dog
Pros: it is aloud in little league good composite bat and aloud in travel ball my little leaguer/travel baller loves this composite bat
Cons: none it is awesome
Night Train
Pros: This bat is amazing. Great for power hitters, which I am. Not too great for contact hitters because of the end-load. Anyways, I have been KILLING the ball lately. Everyone keeps complainig of the break in, but its not long. They complain about the price, too. But it's worth it. Everyone thinks the end-load is bad, but its not. I'm 12 and i got the 31/23 and its a great bat.
Cons: Doubles are getting boring.

Cons: NONE
bam bam
Pros: This bat is amazing! I use the 31/23 -8 the ball flies of the bat even if you dont swing very hard.
Cons: absolutely none
