Hi, Question. What is better the 2013 Omaha or the 2013 TPX Exogrid3? k mac
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat will be a One-Piece all Alloy design. It will feature the ST+20 Alloy construction. The bat will have superb balance when swinging through the hitting zone. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 3 BBCOR will be a Hybrid style bat. The barrel will still be made of AC21 Scandium Alloy material while the handle will be made of Composite Inserts. This will help with eliminating the sting or vibration that might travel to the hands during contact. Both of these bats will feature Louisville Slugger's Flex Band technology which will allow for the Lowest MOI (Moment Of Inertia) on the BBCOR market today. Which means you'll be swinging a lighter feeling bat with increased bat speed and balance through the hitting zone.

Which is a better bat. The Nike MC2 BBCOR or the Omaha balance BB136. I am 14, 5'4, 120 pounds, looking at 31". Thanks J-Rod
This really depends on the type of player you are. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult is a one-piece balanced bat, better for a power hitter. The Nike Aero MC2 BBCOR: BT0633 White Adult is a two-piece bat, better suited for a contact hitter.

The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR would be a good choice, because it is a balanced model bat. He should be using a 32" 29oz bat.
Noah

I am down to this or the Marucci Black 2 for my Freshman, top of the order hitter. He is 5'-7" 130 lbs. He loves the -5 Marucci Black for Club, but he needs new High School bat? Which one? Thanks. Coach Vince
Both the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat and the 2013 Marucci Black 2 BBCOR Adult bat are great options. The Black 2 will provide a composite handle which will eliminate even more vibration or hand stinging. The Omaha may feel lighter in swing weight though. Both bats will be balanced models with alloy barrels. No break-in periods required.
Brandon
I am trying to decide on the EXOGRID 2 or the Omaha Balanced. I can not decide both drop 3 though. Which is a better bat in your perspective? Charlie
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 3 is a more durable bat. The EXOGRID 3 has better alloy material and has carbon inserts in the handle for a little flex.
Frank
I am 4'8" and about 85 pounds and playing up on 60/90 diamond this Spring and need my first BBCOR bat. Would the 30"-27 oz. 2013 LS Omaha be a better bat for me, or the Rawlings 5150 BBCA2? NM
Both the 2013 Rawlings 5150 Alloy BBCOR: BBCA2 Adult bat and the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat are very balanced one-piece alloy designs. They are both good options, and the following is a link for further comparison http://www.batwarehouse.com/compare/
Aubrey
Will this bat hold up, or will it lose its pop rather quickly? Which bat has more pop, this one or the Exogrid 3? Tanner B
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult will certainly hold up for many at bats to come. It comes with a 12 month warranty so if anything happens they will take care of it. The Louisville Exogrid 3 does have an upgrade in alloy which should add some pop.
Chad M.
Which bat has better pop, distance, and a more balanced swing. The 2013 TPX Omaha BBCOR or the 2013 Rawlings 5150 BBCOR bat? tyler
The better pop would come from the 2013 Rawlings 5150 Alloy BBCOR: BBCA2 Adult, because of it's unmatched trampoline effect. The more distance would be the same 2013 Rawlings 5150 due to having more pop. The more balanced bat I would say would be the 2013 Louisville TPX Omaha.
Chad M.
What's the difference between the 2013 Louisville Slugger EXOGRID 3 BBCOR and the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR -3 bat? SP
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX EXOGRID 3 BBCOR is a one-piece alloy with composite inserts in the handle that provides more flex. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR is one-piece alloy that is much stiffer.
Kara
Is the new Louisville Slugger offered in a bat pack and can bats be exchaned for other bats (even if the price rises) in bat packs? Jacob
Since this bat is so new to the market, it is not in any batpacks. Also, we are unable to alter or make any changes to current batpacks, and can only sell what is offered in them.

The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult and the 2013 Easton S1 BBCOR:BB13S1 are both very balanced bats. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR will be stiffer than the 2013 Eatson S1 BBCOR, better for a player with some power. Both bats perform very well.

My son is 6' tall and 140 lbs., he recently was able to demo the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult and the 2013 Rawlings Velo. He is more of a contact hitter, but does have some power. Which bat would you suggest? jalcbrown

The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat in a 31" may be too large for you. The recommended size for you would be a 29" BBCOR bat. The bat will be great for a contact hitter though.

Mac
What is the difference between this year's Omaha and last year's Omaha? And also, is the difference in balance between the two significant, because I swung last year's Omaha and it didn't feel too balanced. Dennis
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 is a very balanced model. While most BBCOR bats use thicker barrel walls to meet the performance certifications, the 2013 Omaha Balanced utilizes a composite ring below the sweet spot. This ring allows the Omaha to have thin barrel walls, which helps it maintain a very light swing weight, but to also meet the BBCOR certification. The difference in balance between models is noticeable.
Mac
What bat has more pop this or the new Easton XL3? colebaseball
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult and the 2013 Easton XL3 are made of top of the line alloy materials and have great pop. The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult will be more balanced and the 2013 Easton XL3 is end loaded.

Kara
Will the 2013 model still be available after the 2014 model comes out? slugger23
Even after a 2014 model was released, the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat would still be available until we no longer had any remaining in inventory.
Mac
I want a 33" model. I'm a little bit over 5'6" and a little bit over 125 lbs. going into 8th grade, and am still growing. I plan on using it until the end of this spring or summer, will this slow down my swing speed? jj

The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult and the Rawlings 5150 are both going to be balanced one-piece alloy bats. They will be almost identical performance and I do not have a preference for one over the other.

I'm 5'9" 190 and 14 years old. I have power but I'm not all power. Is this a good bat or is the Easton XL3 BBCOR BB13X2 a better choice? LB
We recommend the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult. It is one-piece bat that is suited for a power hitter, but it is balanced. The Easton XL3 BBCOR BB13X2 is an end loaded and best for a player that is all power.

I'm around 5'7 160 lbs or 170 lbs. I swing for the gap more than I do the fence. Is this a good bat for me or is the EXOGRID 3 a better option? monkey slugger 3000
Typically one-piece bats such as the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult are preferred by power hitters. However, the balanced feel would be good for a contact hitter as well.

Brandon
Our son needs an alloy bat due to playing in cold weather. He currently has a 2012 TPX Omaha which he says is "clunky". His favorite bat has been the CF5 2012 and 2013. He is a contact hitter, with above average bat speed. What do you recommend replacing his Omaha with that is appropriate for cold weather when he can't use his CF5? Katie
Even when using the 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult bat that is all alloy a minimum temperature of 60 degrees is recommended. If it is colder than that, you run the risk of bat damage. If he plays in colder weather try a wood bat option. As long as his league will allow that.
Brandon
What is the temperature rating for the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha BBCOR? tim
We don't recommend using bats like the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha BBCOR below 60 degrees. Here is a link to our bat care section on our website: http://www.justbats.com/bat-resource-guide/bat-care/

Is this a good bat for a contact hitter? ken
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult is a great bat for a contact hitter. It has a very balanced swing weight which increases control during the swing and bat speed. These are two characteristics that contact hitters typically look for.
Mac
Hi there. I used my mates version of this bat last week and I'm interested in the 2014 model as it felt good. However, it made a ping unlike any bat I have ever heard in 20 years of ball. Is that an issue, and why is that the case? stuchoo
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult will have that ping sound due to the alloy material used in the design of the bat. Some players prefer a loud ping, while others don't. It is more of a player preference.
Brandon
What turn model is the Omaha comparable to? jake
The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR: BB136 Adult is going to be closest to a 110 turn model based on the handle size and the balance.

The 2013 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Baseball Bat is very similar to the Easton S3 Baseball Bat. Both are one-piece alloy designs with a balanced swing weight. The Easton S3 and Omaha have been top sellers and quality bats for some time that will provide great durability and performance.
Austin
Is this more of a contact or power bat? Tedwil
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR (BB136) has features that both a contact hitter and a power hitter would find appealing. It has a stiff one piece design that power hitters tend to favor. However, it is also a balanced bat that helps create bat head speed which is preferable for contact hitters.
Patrick
I'm 6'0" and about 160 lbs. I'm a freshman in high school. What length should I get? baseballchase18

We purchased this bat in December and it broke this past week. How can you get it replaced by warranty? AAL
The warranty's are handled primarily by the manufacturer. In order to get started on the replacement process, all you will need is a copy of your receipt and the telephone number of the manufacturer.
Merritt
I'm 6'3 210 lbs. What bat would work well for me? Do I sound like a power or contact hitter? Cts
Based on your approximate height and weight, the suggested length we would recommend would be 34 inches. I would also guess based on your build that power hitting would be more closely related to the type of playing style that would fit you. The one-piece alloy design on the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR would be very fitting for a power hitter. The construction and material would make it very easy to generate good bat speed and pop.
Merritt
I am a 6' 145 lb. freshman in high school and I hit to the outfield. Is this a good bat for me? jmoney

Should I get this bat or the 2013 DeMarini Voodoo? Which one do you think is better? pj
Both the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR (BB136) and the 2013 DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR (DXVDC) would be good options. The preference between the two would be based on your preference for the weighting and design of the bat. The Omaha is a one-piece alloy design while the Voodoo is an end-loaded two-piece hybrid design. Both will be high performing and will live up to BBCOR standards. Power hitters would tend to prefer the Voodoo while more of a contact hitter would like the balanced Omaha.
Patrick
I am a power and contact hitter. I am 6 foot and weigh 205 pounds. Which bat would be better for me; the Louisville Slugger ExoGrid 3 or this bat? slammer
Both the Louisville Slugger EXOGRID 3 BBCOR (BB13EX) and the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR (BB136) would be good options. The Exogrid 3 will flex a bit more which would be more beneficial for contact hitting and the Omaha would be more stiff which would be more beneficial for a power hitter.
Patrick
I am a 5 foot tall freshmen and I weigh 110 pounds. What size bat should I get? Would this be a good bat for me? Double D
Based on your height and weight we would suggest either a 29 or 30 inch bat. The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR (BB136) would be a good choice because it is available in the length that would work well for you and it is well balanced so it will have a light swing weight which can help produce better bat speed.
Patrick
Why is the 2013 BBCOR Omaha 32/29 sold at a higher price ($179.99) as compared to 2014 BBCOR Assault 32/29 ($99.99)? Isn't the Assault the "newer" version of the Omaha, or is the 2013 Omaha an overall better bat than the Assault? atk
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136) is the previous version to the Slugger Assault bat for 2014. They feature the same design and materials. The only difference in the color scheme. Pricing is set based on inventory.
Brandon
What bat has more pop, this or the Louisville Slugger 515? g prussel

Patrick
I am more of a contact hitter. What would you guys recommend for me, this bat, or the 2014 Rawlings VELO? Which bat has the least amount of vibration when you hit off the tip or handle? baseball15
Both the Rawlings VELO and the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB136 would feel exceptional. The balanced swing weight and alloy design will be very high performing. Both bats will provide the same low amount of hand sting when you mishit a baseball.
Brandon
I'm looking for a durable bat to last 1 year or more. I am looking at this bat and the Easton S1. Would this bat have a longer life span because it's aluminum or will the S1 last longer? threat13
Both the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136) and the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) will be very durable models. In general, we have seen composite barrel bats like the Easton S1 last a bit longer in their peak performance level than aluminum models.
Patrick
Do you think this bat, the Assault, or the 2015 Omaha is a better bat? Which has a bigger sweet spot? T
The Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136), 2014 Louisville Slugger Assault BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBAS14-RR), and the 2015 Louisville Slugger Omaha 515 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBO5153) will all have similar sized sweet spots because they are very similar designs. The new 2015 Omaha will have the best durability which should make its performance last a bit longer than on the previous models.
Patrick
Are the balance of this and the Assault the same? What about performance and sweet spot? G
Yes, the Assault and the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136) will have very much the same balance. They are very light during the swing.
Brandon
Which bat has a better MOI the 2015 Louisville Slugger Omaha BBCOR or the 2014 Easton S2? Which bat would you recommend? KC
The MOI should be fairly similar on the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136) and the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) they are both well balanced models and have a light swing. The S1 may be a bit easier to generate bat speed with because of the flex it offers. Other than that, it would come down to whether you prefer alloy bats or composite material bats.
Patrick
Does this have more pop than the Assault? T
"Pop" is more of a term associated with the skill of the player rather than a measurable feature of the bat. The performance and design of the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136) compared extremely closely with the Louisville Slugger Assault BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBAS14-RR).
Patrick
I`m looking for this specific model in 34/31. Any tips on where I can find this model? Roberto Flores

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.
