Average Customer Review
Great look solid bat, nice grip.
Bought this bat for my 9 year old daughter, but after taking a few swings it seemed 1-2 oz. heavier. The weight is more on the end than the sweet spot. Our league switched to USSSA from NSA and I was trying to find a replacement bat for the Eastern Reflex that she loved. I ended up returning the bat.
I was a little worried about purchasing this bat as there was little information and reviews I could find on it. I was interested in the bat due to the light weight and balance of the bat for my 8u player. Once recieved I looked it over really good seemed to be made with good quality. Had my daughter try it out during batting practice notice her swing speed had increased and a more natural swing of the bat was taking place. The bat had good pop on it nothing outrageous but for the price of the bat you can go wrong the bat is perfect for the smaller sized girls who need bat lenght but not the heavy weight.

Ask A QuestionMy 12 y.o. daughter uses the Catalyst FP12C2 (31") as her "good" bat (and loves it). I need a similar length & weight & feel (& much cheaper) practice bat for use with pitching machines -- would this be a reasonable bat to consider for that purpose?
The Louisville Slugger TPS Catalyst Youth: FP12CY -11.5 Fastpitch bat would be a decent choice. The biggest difference is that the FP12CY is going to be a youth model and it is also an alloy design versus the composite design of the FP12C2. With that being said, you are only paying $29.99 for a practice bat and you are saving the life span of her game bat.
Is this a composite?
No, the Louisville Slugger TPS Catalyst Youth: FP12CY -11.5 Fastpitch bat is a one-piece alloy design. The TPS Catalyst is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF.
Would this bat be a good bat for a 7 year old starting coach pitch softball? Do you suggest a different bat?
Actually, the Louisville Slugger TPS Catalyst Youth: FP12CY -11.5 Fastpitch bat is a very nice choice for a 7 yr old. The TPS Catalyst has a nice balanced swing weight, so it won't swing as heavy as some of the other bats on the market. The Catalyst is designed for a youth player, so it will fit a 7 year old softball player very well.

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. Here's a short video promo from Louisville Slugger.
