Cons: Everyone wants to use it
Great Bat rajah player
Pros: Feels Good with lots of pop
Cons: none
Great Bat! yeahh player
Pros: Normally, I don't like 2 piece bats, I like the solid feel of a 1 piece. But this Air Elite model feels just as stiff as a 1 piece with lots of pop. There's also less hand sting on miss hits. The grip might be one of the best grips I've felt. Its a little on the thicker side so if you like really skinny handles this might not work for you. The balance is pretty good, I would say just slightly end loaded...but barely. Overall, this is a really great bat, can't go wrong here. One last thing, I love the sound of the ping off this bat.
Cons: None so far...maybe the thicker handle if you like really skinny handles.

Best Bat of 2014-15! Davis player
Pros: All I can say about this bat is that it is the best bat of the year. Has an ever so slight end-load that feels so good in the hands. R3 Alloy Barrel has the best pop of all BBCOR bats and the two-piece design is as stiff as a one-piece, yet has little vibration. I love almost everything about this bat, definitely the best bat under the new specifications that I've ever tried!
Cons: None at all.
best bat #43 parent
Pros: Been through them all! Nothing compares, just read the reviews. Also, comes with best warranty in game. no brainer. My kid was first on team and now everyone is switching after seeing results.
Cons: none
Great Bat! Great Customer Service! Kermit parent
Pros: Lots of Pop...which is what every player is interested in. Great feel to it and it sounds great. Other than the Velo - haven't seen too many BBCOR bats with Pop in them. Purchased the 2014 Easton Mako last year and it's dead, sounds dead too. The ball doesn't really go anywhere. My son is 14 years old, freshman in HS...can't wait to start playing. Last year ended going to his wood Pujos bat, since the Mako was completely dead. As a 12 year old, he hit 39 HRs...He's been a leadoff, through number 4 hitter on all travel teams he's played with. He's in complete love with this bat.
Cons: The knob of the bat loosened up...Rip-It took care of it right away, free of charge. Took less than a week to receive a new bat.
Best bat yet Stan De Wit parent
Pros: Purchased first Rip It bat for my son 2 years ago. tried most of the top brands over the last 10 years and its the first time my son has ever asked for the same bat twice.
Cons: None so far
Great bat!! CP player
Pros: Great bat. The ball seems to jump off the bat. Ball is flying in the cage. Can't wait to see it in action. Glad they made the handle grey instead of white like last years model. No vibration. Great bat.
Cons: Nothing so far.
Impressive Bat with Lots of Pop! Kerm parent
Pros: This bat is great for power hitters. Has lots of pop! My son had both this bat and the Rip-It Helium bat, we returned the Helium as it doesn't have the same amount of pop as this bat. This bat also has a larger Sweatspot than the Helium one. Thanks to Rip-It's "love it or return it" 30 day policy we were able to take advantage and try both bats. Thank you Rip-It!!! Love your product and your policy!!
Cons: None!
Handle Knob came off on 2 of them M parent
Pros: I can't say anything because both bats I got for my son - 1 from Just Bats and 1 from RIP-IT after I asked for an exchange - first time he used it the knob at the bottom popped off. After that - went with name brand. Too bad - the bat that one of his teammates had that broke after a couple of years was the team favorite. Wanted to give the upstart company my business but unfortunately didn't work out - wasn't going to try again. One PRO - the man that I talked to from RIP-IT was very cordial and apologetic.
Cons: see above
RIP-IT 2015 AIR ELITE BDB player

Great Bat! Nick G player
Pros: -little to no vibration -good pop -very nice grip -almost no cosmetic damage I have had this bat for a couple months now and it feels great. Nice pop, good thick grip, and great general feel. I would recommend this bat.
Cons: -pieces of the cap have chipped off -there is a little chipping of paint
2015 RIP-IT Air Elite BBCOR Bat - Unsure Michael Myers parent
Pros: My son enjoyed the feel of the grip and balance of the swing. He mentioned that it has a good pop off the bat which feels almost effortless.
Cons: My son loved a teammate's bat and I purchased this bat for his next tournament. After use in one game, the knob came off. While I would normally not be concerned with the quality and durability, a third teammate in the tournament had this bat and it was shearly broken off in half right about the grip. This review is based upon quality/durability of our experience with a minor quality concern and a teammates major defect issue.
Overall great bat Michael Schneider player
Pros: Good bat great pop very balanced great bat speed great grip
Cons: you can find this same bat on rip it sports website for 199.99 and the grip turns from white to gray in about a week to two weeks
High quality bat that blew my expectations! Conner #11 Highschool and competitive travel player
Pros: The bat has very good pop once broken in after 50-100 swings, has great balance with no end load. Durabilty wise, very strong, ive had it and used it frequently for the past 2 years for highschool and travel baseball. Very little vibration and overall great feel and balance.
Cons: Paint chips often from the barrel and you may have to change the grip after a year of use or so. Still worth it for the price.
Amazing Rip It Sheldon player
Pros: Great pop Powerful
Cons: None
