Pros: Great grip, huge sweet spot, and awesome graphics.
Cons: None.
Pros: Look, this bat has something...call it pop, explosiveness, whatever you want. My son clearly hit the ball father and harder than he did with his Easton Convert 27/15. BP went far beyond expectations. The Convert is a great bat!
Cons: Louisville Slugger confirmed that there's no substantial difference between the 2013 & 2012. Only the graphics and the stamp - and some of the 2012's have the stamp.
Pros: My son loves this bat. Great balance and pop.
Cons: None
Pros: This bat is awesome. Great for contact hitters looking to drive the ball.
Cons: Not much. Definitely not a power hitter's bat.
Pros: Had a lot of pop when you hit it on the tiny sweet spot.
Cons: 4 dents after using it in a couple games. stings really bad if you don't hit it on the sweet spot. grip gets dirty quick. Going to send it in for a replacement.
Pros: this bat is great for a kid who's just starting to come around on his hitting. just a great line drive bat wish it was -12 though
Cons: nothing really, just don't get it if your a very advanced player
Pros: AWESOME!!!!!!!
Cons: AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Pros: It has a real good pop. It has a real good handle and grip if you don't wear batting gloves. If you hit it on the letters it is going to go pretty far.
Cons: it is a little heavy. And it has little space for the sweat spot
Pros: My son's spring season just started and he loves this bat. He's 7 yrs old and consistently flying the infield. No complaints about stingers.
Cons:
Pros: A very well made half and half bat. Save money and buy this instead of the Attack, this feels much better, and is better for contact hitters also
Cons: The paint chips down by the handle revealing the composite part. If you don't hit the ball right on the barrel the bat tends not to perform well.

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.
