Description

**SPECIAL** This bat has been used as a demo. If you do not like the performance of the bat once you receive it, you may return it within two weeks for a full refund. The Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 3 BBCOR: BB13EX! Since 1884, Louisville Slugger has been on the cutting edge of bat technology. Now, LS brings a new dimension in performance advantage technology to the BBCOR market. The EXOGRID 3 BBCOR model has the Flex-Band Technology. Rather than thickening the walls of bats to bring them in line with BBCOR standards, Louisville Slugger has inserted a very light one inch wide graphite band. Not only does this flex-band give the bat the lowest swing weight available in its BBCOR hybrid class, it is small enough that the sweet spot feels just like high performing BESR bats of the past. Simply put, LS BBCOR bats combine high-tech performance shells with great flex-band technology. This translates to lower M.O.I. (moment of inertia), which means a lighter swing weight and preferred feel. Combining this new exciting feature with the traditional traits that have made the Exogrid name a top selling bat for years, the EXOGRID 3 is one of the most innovative bats to ever hit the market. This bat starts out with Louisville Slugger's AC21 Scandium Alloy which is one of the most durable and responsive alloys on the market. Moving toward the handle you'll find that the metal is trimmed into a grid-like pattern and replaced with carbon composite inserts. These inserts are several times stronger than the metal they replace which gives the EXOGRID 3 not only its name, but also its unwavering durability. Inside the bat, the heart of the EXOGRID 3 can be found in the form of an internal carbon composite sleeve. This provides greater handle stiffness than alloy alone ever could. All of these parts are brought together using Louisville Slugger's EXOGRID Bi/Fusion Process, where a combination of heat and extreme pressure bond everything into a single, solid unit. Louisville Slugger: Intimidate at the Plate! The TPX EXOGRID 3: BB13EX is BBCOR certified and legal for high school and collegiate play.Free Shipping!

Pros: Just received this bat from JustBats (!) and here is my first review since my son (a switch hitter) has not taken it to real-life batting yet: 1. I think Louisville Slugger really did it this time--a terrific bat for both what I call Contact-Power hitter in all aspects! 2. This is a more balanced bat than all the previous Exogrid, including Exo 2. Its balance point is 1/2 inch more to the center (knob) compared to previous Exo, but way better than Easton's S series which, IMO, is too light and the XL series which is a little too heavy for a contact-power hitter like my son. 3. The stiff metal construction throughout the bat is one of my favorite feature that we no longer see in todays real metally sound bats, but this one got it, and sounds terrific comparing to other premium BBCOR! 4. the metal sound is great yet the bat is very balanced with just the right swing weight for a high school Sr. with an athletic built!

Cons: Not yet, but will follow up if any cons comes up.

Pros: this bat has the biggest sweet spot of a bbcor bat out there. i feel like if it hits the sweet spot the ball just flies. the paint job is sweet and the cap and grip just top it all off. no regrets getting this bat.

Cons: none

Pros: First of all, the bat has a sick paint job and the grip is sick. This bat has a huge sweet spot and a lot of pop. This bat is extremely well balanced and is perfect for a contact hitter. I'm a contact hitter and I went 3-4 the first time I used it with a bomb to fence and 2 doubles. GET THIS BAT.

Cons: It stinks when you see a kid on the other team use it.

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.
