Description

RIP-IT builds their bats around the idea that every player should LOVE their equipment. That's why all of their bats come with a 30 Day "Love It or Return It" performance guarantee. Seriously, RIP-IT will buy it back. The new Prototype 1.20 slow pitch bat definitely makes it easy to fall in love by setting a new standard in the world of softball. Having been described as, "the perfect composite bat", the Prototype 1.20 is on a mission to win over the game's most brand loyal players with its Harmonic Barrel. This one-piece composite design features a 13.5 inch slightly endloaded barrel to give players a little extra behind every swing. Once you take your first swing with the Prototype 1.20, you'll notice two things: It is HOT out of the wrapper, and it's grip is more comfortable than anything you've previously put in your hands. Not only is it HOT right from the get-go, it's sweet spot extends the entire length of the barrel so you get an unbelievable feel. This incredible feel is enhanced by RIP-IT's Contact Grip that not only provides outstanding cushion and tack, but also completely eliminates sting from mishits. Expect this to be one of the best composite bats you've ever swung. And if it's not, send it back to RIP-IT. RIP-IT: We Love What We Do! The Prototype 1.20 is approved for USSSA, NSA, and ISA. It is backed by an exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

fat man cat

Pros: Great pop on this bat. Did not take much time at all to break in. The grip on the handle is the best ever! Get the 27 oz. for quicker bat speed. It's constructed very well. It will last awhile. You will hit bombs with this bat!

Cons: I didn't buy two.

big chitt

Pros: It is not hot out of the wrapper. I took about 100 cuts with mixed balls and it still didn't feel right to me. It sounds funky. I won't give up on it, I do love my RIP-IT's but by any means it's no Reaper, not even the Reap 4. The grip is legit but i'll probably re tape it soon.

Cons: None yet.

Good While It Lasted Texas Turtle player

Pros: It looks Cool and the grip is awesome. Once it broke in I was hitting laser line drives. It can be used to hit balls out of the park and sounds really nice.

Cons: The bat didn't last very long. It barely made it a year before the bat got a zig zag crack on it. 6 months before, the end cap plastic dented in. Not really the bat for a home run hitter who is going to be swinging for the fences because I don't think it would handle the load. Took a while to break in.
