Brett
trying to decide between the TPX Omaha and the Lithium Prodigy for my 10yr old. What is your recommendation? cbart
Both are great bats. The Prodigy may have a little more pop, but the Omaha will probably be a little more durable. Kind of depends on what's more important to you, pop or durability.
JIO
is this a good bat for power hitters my son is 13 and looking for a new bat? bigboy12
Really any bat that is a stiffer bat. Any one piece bat will work well. The omaha is a great option. It is duralble and has good pop.
Mark
Would i be able to use this bat in Highschool?? D
No. All high school bats are adult models and must be BBCOR certified.
Kara
does this bat have the new usssa stamp for 2012? chazbuc
Yes. It has the new USSSA stamp (see prodcut images).
Derek
According to the Babe Ruth website barrel can only be 2 5/8. This bat is 2 3/4 which would not be legal ? Mike
Yes, if the league only allows a 2 5/8" barrel than this bat is not going to be legal
Sean
My son is 13 years old and i am looking for a good bat for him. Is a -5 appropriate for his age group? dad
I would double check with the league directly, as there are some new weight restrictions on certain older age groups. Some are requiring a -3 bbcor bat.
Linda
How does the pop on this bat compare to the Easton S3 and Worth Lithium Prodigy? Are any more end loaded vs. balanced? Thanks Brent
All three are going to perform similar. They are all one piece alloy bats, and balanced. You can't go wrong with any of the bats.
K.B.
Have a U8 boy, good size though. How does this compare to the YB126BB Jr Big Barrel? I see different alloys, will one have more pop for that age? Brent
I like the Omaha, nice balance, big sweet spot and great pop!
Linda
What is the main differences between this model and the SL126 or the YB126BB? My son will be playing U8 coach pitch travel this spring and needs a big barrel bat. He has been using the easton stealth speed composite(28/17) for rec league and was having some problem getting around on the ball consistently. He used another boys RivalBB(27/17) and was hitting line drives like never before. I believe this has a lot to do with how the weigh is distributed in the bat. Coach Mike
The difference between the SL126 and the SL126XL is the barrel size...the XL is a 2 3/4 ' barrel opposed to the SL126 being a 2 5/8". The YB126BB is a 2 3/4 ' barrel also, but uses a different alloy, I personally don't recommend the YB to kids older than 7-8 yrs old.
Linda
I am debating between this bat and the 2012 Easton S3. All things equal, which bat do you think is better quality? Thanks. pedroman74
Quality, both are great bats. But in order to give you more informed advice, give our reps a call so they can ask you some questions to determine which one is best for your particular batting style.
Linda
I bought this bat last year from you but it does not have USSSA label what has changed that would not allow bat I bought last July not to be legal this year or can I get it USSSA certifed some how from just bats. I have reciept. Or is there trade in allowance. HELP PLEASE
We do not have the capabilities do any type of stamping. If you are still covered under warranty then you can try and give Louisville Slugger a call. 1-800-282-2287
Tom
What is the difference between the SL126 and the SL126XL joebob
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha SL126 is going to be a 2 5/8" barrel while the SL126XL is going to be a 2 3/4" barrel.
John
Is it common for this bat to dent? I see a couple of bad post about denting. mike
The most common complaint about any aluminum bat is denting. But the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha is a durable bat with great pop.
Shelbe
Can this be used for Coach Pitch this season, then Kid Pitch next season? soccermom!
Absolutely, the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha can be used in both leagues. Kid Pitch bats have thicker walls making the bat more durable than a coach pitch bat.
Kris
Hi how does this bat differ from the SL126? Jackalope
The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha SL126 has a 2 5/8" barrel. The SL126XL has a 2 3/4" barrel.
Tyler
Is this bat BBCOR approved or have the stamp on it? Darla
The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha has the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp on the taper of the bat. However, it is not BBCOR certified. BBCOR bats are all -3.
Nick
Is this bat end-loaded or balanced? NedKelly
The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha is a balanced bat.
Kara
My son is 4 ft tall, 50 pounds. He is currently in coach pitch but young. At six he swings a 25" 15 but it seems small to me. What size do you recommend if I'd get this bat for him for fall ball? Bria
Based on your son's height and weight, I would suggest moving up to a 27" Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha. If you need more help in trying to find the right size of bat for your son, feel free to use our bat coach feature located here: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/.
Jennifer
Is this bat a BBCOR bat? bing
No, the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha is not a BBCOR bat. This is a youth big barrel bat and features the USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp.
Damon
My brother is 10 years old weighs 87 lbs and is 4' 4" tall. What size of these big barrels would be the best for him? dony
The suggested length for your brother would be a 29" 19 oz. bat.
Tom
WHAT SIZE BAT FOR A 9 YEAR OLD COACH PITCH. HE IS APPROXIMATELY 4 1/2 FT TALL AND ONLY WEIGHS 63 POUNDS. momofthreeboys
The suggested length of the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL for your son would be 29".
Tom
What size of big barrel bat would be the best for a 10 yr old turning 11 yrs. that weighs 78 lbs and is 4'8"? C
For a player that is 4'8" and weighs 78 lbs, I would suggest going with a 29" bat. The weight of the bat really comes down to personal preference and what the batter feels comfortable swinging. To help you find the perfect size bat, check out the Bat Coach feature on our site.
Austin
What size bat for a 12 year old that's 5'2" and 120 pounds? big k
The suggested length for your 12 yr old would a a 31" model of the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL, or if they have good bat speed they could possibly go up to 32".
Tom
Between this bat, the cf4, cf5, power brigade, and easton surge, which bat has the most power (I want to hit homers?) ALso, I am 5'8 and 110 lb. What size should I get? Cricket
A 31" Easton XL1: SL11X18 Senior League from the Power Brigade series will be the best bat for you for hitting homeruns. It is the only bat of the options you listed that is endloaded. Endloaded bats provide a little more power.
Nick D
Will this bat be able to be used in 2013? bo
The Omaha is widely accepted, but it all depends on the league and the division you play in. I suggest checking with your coach for your official league rules.
Tyler
Will this bat in the -10 swing lighter in the 26/16 than the 28/18. My son is 10 and has a slow swing? Eric
The 26" -10 Omaha weighs 16 ounces. The 28" -10 Omaha weighs 18 ounces. The 26" 16 oz model will have a lighter swing weight.
Tyler
My 6yr son is starting machine pitch in the fall. What size would you recommend for him? He's pretty big and strong for his age. Hes about 4 foot and 60 pounds. He's been using a small barrel 27/17 during coach pitch and had no problems getting it around. I'm just looking at stepping up to a big barrel bat for him. John
Based on his age an size, the average length bat would be 27 or 28 inches. Based on the size bat he has been using, a 17 to 19 ounce bat is recommended. Since he's had no problems with the 27" 17 oz bat, I would recommend a 28" 18 oz bat.
Tyler
We have a Z1000 and Omaha, both 32 in -8. My son is very tall with a slow swing, the ball comes off the Omaha way better. Any idea why? Bigdaddy77
Often, if a composite bat is not broken in, the ball will not come off as well. An alloy bat is hot out of the wrapper and does not require a break-in period.
Kara
My son will be playing on an 8U kid pitch team next year. I'm trying to decide between the big barrel Omaha and the 2 1/4 Omaha. What is the best way to make this choice? Millhouse6
Big barrel bats like the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha tend to have a slightly larger sweet spot. If you league allows big barrel bats, we would recommend using the 2 3/4 inch barrels like the SL126XL would be a great choice.
Kara
I understand that the Omaha's alloy is more responsive than the Warrior's. The Omaha is not available in 30/25. All things being equal, would not a 30/25 Warrior out-hit the 31/21 Omaha? DevilCoach
Ideally a heavier bat will produce more power as long as it does not diminish the hitters bat speed.
Damon
Will this be legal for legion baseball in 2013? Luke
This is NOT a BBCOR bat if that is required. However, if they require the BPF 1.15 stamp, this bat will be legal.
Damon
Hi, I play 12U travel ball this year and I'm playing 13U next year and my friend bought this bat and I love it. I was wondering if it will be able to be used next year because of rule changes? crash17
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha is legal for play in USSSA in 2013.
Kara
Is this bat ok for pony league ? They can use up to a 2 5/8 barrel. Also, my son loves the warrior would this be an upgrade and a comparable swing. My son is 10, 5ft, 95 lbs. he is a great batter so I don't know if a change is necessary. I just want to make sure that he is using the right bat to keep up with the other players as he gets older and stronger. He has used the warrior from 7-10 years old. Tmf
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL Senior League bat has a 2 3/4" bat and is illegal in Pony. To check the barrel size of a bat, look under the "Bat Features" section on the product page.
Tyler
Can we use this bat in 2013 if we bought it this fall? bigdaddy

Tyler
Is this a good bat for my son who is in machine pitch? He's 4ft 5 and weighs 65 lbs. Looking for a good bat for him. Please help. machine pitch
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL is a great bat for a machine pitch league. It's one of the better one-piece alloy bats on the market, and has very good durability and pop.
Tyler

Can someone tell me if this bat is approved for Little League? I see the USSSA stamp but my son plays Little League. Mindy
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL has a 2 3/4" barrel and is illegal in Little League.
Tyler
What is the difference between this bat and the TPX Omaha CP126 if both are 28/18? Thor
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL is a youth big barrel bat designed for use in kid pitch. The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: CP126 is a coach pitch bat designed for coach pitch.
Tyler
What is the difference between this bat and the Omaha XL? j
Both of these Omaha models will use the same ST+20 alloy so the performance will be the same. The 2013 Omaha is designed to be more balanced with results in better bat control.
Tom
My son just turned 12 and will be in school ball spring,2013. He has been swinging the LS Omaha XT Stiff,2 1/4" barrel model YBXS comp./ST+20alloy. Will the Omaha SL126XL be a good replacement or is there a comp./alloy match with the larger barrel? Thanks. Andy
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL would definitley be a great option. However, the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Vertex XL: SL13VXL will be a closer comparison to the Omaha XT Stiff as it will have a similar half and half construction.
Tyler
I am buying a bat for my 9 year old son. How do I know what length to buy? Dumb question? Nikki
Our bat coach is a great tool to determine the correct length of bat for your son: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/.
Kara
What is the difference between this bat SL126XL and the SL136XL bat? BKJ
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL: SL136XL Senior League is more balanced than the SL126XL. Both are very high performing.
Kara
You no longer have 31" -10 SL126XL's available. What other Louisville Slugger bat is is most comparable to the SL126XL? Paul
The updated version of the SL126XL is the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha XL: SL136XL Senior League bat. We have this available in a 31" 21 oz model. Here is a link to it on the website http://www.justbats.com/product/2013-louisville-slugger-tpx-omaha-xl--sl136xl-senior-league/16502/
Aubrey
Which bat do you think is better? The Louisville Slugger TPX Warrior or the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha? kyleeee
Both are good, balanced bats. The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha will be more balanced and have a higher quality alloy resulting in better performance.
Damon
My son is 50lbs and 6 years old. Ive determined he needs a 26" 16 oz bat. He has a couple years of coach pitch left, but i was wondering if i should go with this bat or the coach pitch bat? Since they are the same size, which one has more pop? Since hes just starting out idk if durablity is an issue. CJA
In a Coach Pitch league, a Junior Big Barrel bat (aka Coach Pitch bat) will have more pop as they are designed with thinner barrel walls and will have more pop in a Coach Pitch league than a Senior League bat.
Tyler
Would this bat be appropriate for 10 year old playing kid-pitch in USSSA? I see it says Senior League? AJ
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha: SL126XL Senior League bat is also considered a Youth Big Barrel bat on our website. It would be the appropriate category of bat for a player that faces live pitching or balls pitched by a machine. Always check with a league representative to ensure that a particular bat is approved for use in your specific league.
Mac
Can you hit the yellow dimple practice baseballs used by most batting practice facility's machines? I've heard those types of balls can damage bats. FastBackDad
We do not recommend hitting the yellow dimpled balls. They can crack or dent bats and greatly shorten the life of your bat.
Tori
Is this bat durable enough for machine pitch baseball? lefty
Yes. The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha (SL126XL) Senior League is durable enough for machine pitch.
Damon
What is the difference between the TPX Omaha XL:SL136XL Senior League bat and the TPX Omaha:SL126XL Senior League bat? rus
The difference between the TPX Omaha XL (SL136XL) and the TPX Omaha (SL126XL) is just the year. The (SL136XL) is from this year 2014 and the (SL126XL) is from 2013. The color will be different with both bats but the material used will be similar if not the same.
Zach
My son is 11. He swung a 30" -11 Vexxum in Ripken this year. He also played some big barrel tourneys using a COMBAT Portent 31 -10 2 5/8. He is 5' and 99 lbs. He has a very high contact rate against all levels of pitching. He hits lots of doubles and few HR's. I'm looking at the 31" -10 2 5/8 Omaha for his fall league, which requires all aluminum bats. Given his size and the type of hitter he is, is this an appropriate bat size? umpire dad
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 30" model in the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Senior League Baseball Bat (SL126XL). However, moving up to the 31" model will work just fine for him because he has swung a 31" bat before. The extra length and mass he will get from the 31" will be beneficial for him.

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.
