BenJAMMIN

Joe

Cons:
jchill17
Pros: Good stiff bat, neutral balance. Big difference from my 7 yr old son's previous bat. Ball jumps off the bat. Good price, quick shipping - I selected the free shipping and bat was here in two days (unfortunately about 2 hours after the season opener but wasn't expecting it until the following week).
Cons: Says it stings on some hits - but batting gloves solved that. Marks up easily but I'm not concerned about the cosmetics, just and observation.
Coach Bill
Pros: Nice stiff bat at a great price (when you buy one on sale). My 10 yr old likes the light weight and doesn't complain about hand stings in cold weather.
Cons: none!
D.C.
Pros: awesome and has a huge pop it feels like the ball explodes of the bat
Cons: definitely NONE
AJ

Cons: None

Jeffster
Pros: This bat has good pop and little-to-no sting/vibration. Son hit opposite field HR with this first at bat with this bat. Arrive in mail within days. Very good handle stiffness. bought it as a bat pack with Demarini. Good price based on retail.
Cons: none so far. Only 2 at bats so far; one was a infield HR and the other was an opp field HR.
Red Sox Coach
Pros: First, price b/c bought it in a bat pack. Second, the bat has great pop, even with mishits the ball jumps off more than other bats (even composites). My son is 10 and has 31/19 and he is hitting some hard line drives that one hop the fence.
Cons: Vibration when hit off the very end, but thats any bat you use and is batter error not bat malfunction. Great Bat!
Kevin
Pros: Just bought for my son, and he hit his first homerun. Nice big sweetspot, and no sting. Great price on this site. Excellent buy!
Cons: None
Coach K

Cons: None this far.
Anonymous
Pros: Needed a to move my boys up to a 31in. bat from a 30in. I found this one here and my boys love it!! No sting,crisp liners and every now and then one to the fence. This is my first Louisville Slugger bat purchase. I will buy another one soon.
Cons: None
Chris L
Pros: Just bought the bat on Sunday, showed up just in time for batting practice Tuesday. My 9 year old sone loves it, he is using the 31/19 and he is killing the ball. Had a great session with his hitting coach last night...and even the coach commented on the pop off the bat. Can't wait till he can use it in a game...that is if it ever stops raining in Massachusetts
Cons: None so far....even the cost cannot be beat
jspires

Pros: I am very pleased with this bat.Will glady purchase another TPX bat later. Our 8yr old absolutely crushed a 3-run blast over the fence dead center. Center field is 155ft. I know it is not just the bat but it doesn't hurt to purchase a good quality bat.

Anonymous
Pros: Very nice bat My 10yr old Likes it ALOT, good pop.
Cons: not any yet. only had it for a couple weeks but very nice so far.
DMZ-Utah
Pros: Got this based on reviews for my 11 year old. No regrets!! Never seen him hit the ball so far or so hard before! Great buy. He likes it better than a big barrel. He hits all pitchers in the league now. My boy always had a good swing but the ball never jumped off his bat. Outfielders play very deep now and infielders watch out! Cannot beat this bat for the price! Great service!
Cons: No cons at all!!
JD#3phrams
Pros: Best bat in the world. You won't find a bat with more pop.
Cons: none
average joe

RaleighDodger
Pros: I got this bat for my 10 yr old Grandson; he loves it. No sting, very good pop. Nice looking ... he is very proud of it.
Cons: none
Coach Josh
Pros: Great bat at great price. Purchased for my 10yr. old son but many of the kids on our team use it. They prefer it over the all aluminum bats that give them stingers. Last night my son hit a laser double and told me he "didn't think he hit it that hard" based on how the bat felt at impact. It does the job and at 1/2 the price of many full composite bats. Will buy another when he outgrows it.
Cons: None.
masonT
Pros: Great bat for a great price, excellent speed off bat, large sweet spot.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Great pop. Ball explodes off bat Large sweet spot No sting on impact
Cons:
Mike
Pros: Outstanding bat! Good for another 30 feet on the ball. Within 2 weeks of getting it, my son was rapping doubles and triples into the outfield. Total steal at this price.
Cons: Every other kid on the team wants to use it, including the kid who hit a homer with the XT Stiff and not his brand new DeMarini CF5!
Mike
Pros: My son used this for the first time at batting practice last nite, and the ball just flew off the bat. For the first time I saw CONFIDENCE in my son's eyes when the ball came in! He was hungry to hit.
Cons: No true cons. The ball flies off the bat. Can't wait to see what it can do in a game!
nick
Pros: My son loves this bat - the pop off the bat is amazing.
Cons: None
Mrsg730
Pros: Excellent bat. Bought this for my son when he was nine and was looking around for a new one and he said, I dont want a different bat, I love my bat. We agreed to get him the same bat in the larger size now that he is eleven. Since he started using it his batting has improved so much that his coach started calling him slugger.
Cons: the paint chipped off right away. Even while still new, it looked old.
Coach Josh
Pros: This is a really great price for a bat this good. I just ordered a 2nd one just to have as a back up.
Cons: None.
Tank
Pros: My son used two different lengths of this bat this season. He swung both well and like the feel of them.
Cons: Very little action off of the bat. Seemed the harder he swung, the less reaction the bat had. Would not buy again.
Buck
Pros: Lots of pop, big sweet spot, durable
Cons: grip is slippery
Moosh
Pros: I bought this bat for my son. Lets just say he loved it. He was hitting rocket shots with it.
Cons: None
rose4hof
Pros: Great looking bat with tons of pop and plenty of power to spare. My son is 11 and this is his first year in the majors. His first at bat was a monster homerun over the 200ft fence. In fact, it landed on the next diamond and almost hit the left fielder! Estimated distance...260ft! The 31/19 is perfect balanced and swings pretty fast. This is very important playing in a year round in Florida. The kids here can pitch in the 60's and even 70's. Very few hitters can get around using all those heavy end loaded bats. Another important point that I want to bring up, this bat weighs the actual 19 ounces! Unlike the CF5 (yes, we have one) and its weighs almost 2 1/2 ounces over its claimed weight. I highly recommend this bat. Great choice in any league and at any level.
Cons: None so far
D33
Pros: My son has used the bat twice since we received it and the ball seems to jump off it. The bat has a nice feel and is well balanced. Looking forward to the season.
Cons: None yet.
prres the boss

Cons: bad grip
August#1
Pros: The perfect combo of alloy barrel and xtra stiff composite handle. The best bat you can buy. My 11 Yr. olds favorite bat ever.
Cons: Non.

In May 2011, you answer the question saying that this bat meets the BPF 1.15 standard. HOWEVER, you never answer the question as to whether or not this BPF 1.15 is listed on the actual bat. Is it? It MUST be there for our Little League. Skates

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.
