Description
Viper Bats is an American wood bat company that manufactures professional quality wood bats for players of all ages. Viper believes that pro quality wood should be available to any player, in any league, in any part of the country. That's why they've introduced the Little League Ultralight Birch Wood Bat! This is one of the lightest wood bats to ever hit the market! This bat is perfect for younger players as a training bat to gain strength, a transitional bat before moving up to a higher weight, or a game bat to start putting on a show right away! The birch wood utilized in the Viper Ultralight is more flexible than maple, but stronger and longer lasting than ash. Birch also does not flake like ash. The Viper Ultralight (VLLUL) resembles a 271 turn which is one of the most popular styles of wood bats among the pros. It features a 2 1/4 inch barrel diameter with a medium-sized handle and a flared knob. Viper: Made for Players, By Players! The Viper Ultralight is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. Free Shipping!

Pros: Great looking bat
Cons: Broke at the first at-bat
Pros: As our local little league requires wooden bats and after using various Oak and Maple bats over the past few seasons, our 10-yr old son has been using this Viper bat (Birch) for weekly hitting sessions over the past several months and now for the start of little league practice and is thrilled with it. The Viper Birch bat has high gloss finish and seems to be very well balanced (medium flared handle with 2.25" barrel – Little League approved model) and a nice combination of the light weight of the oak and a solid feel closer to Maple. Unlike the previous reviewer, we have found that this bat has taken a beating, as several other players have tried it and are now using it as well. Twelve year old pitchers are throwing pretty hard, so it has been tested. I usually would not write a product review, but we were looking for something that felt right and had some pop – at least so far, this bat does seem to deliver.
Cons: Not inexpensive, but still great value.
Pros: Bought this bat for my smaller 12yr old son who plays on a competitive travel team. Had a 30" Rawlings but too heavy and bat speed was too slow. With the exception if the handle, this bat swings and is weighted like an aluminum/comp....good balance. Used a digital scale and the 31" weighed in at 22 oz. Good pop off the bat and about 4 kids on the team ditched their wood bats and used this one.
Cons: Price Durability may be compromised due to reduced weight (we had no issues).
Pros: Light Bat
Cons: Broke after using the bat three times
Pros: purchased this bat for my 9yo son to use in a wood bat tourney his travel team was playing. bat looks good, nice finish
Cons: broke first at bat :(
Pros: looks nice
Cons: the bat broke first time my son used it
Pros: Light as the metal bats we use.
Cons: none.
Pros: Weight, feel, and performance were all good for my son and some others from his team. Just got 3 of these today and used them during 'live' hitting. Tournament this weekend. The boys are excited to put these to use in games.
Cons: NA
Pros: Bought this for my 11 year old son for batting practice. First time he used it he loved it. He was driving balls to the outfield.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Looks great feels good and swings right. Had decent pop.
Cons: Not durable at all. My sons team broke 3 of them in 1 day at a 10yo wood bat tournament They all split in the same spot, just above the handle along the grain. They seem like good bats but unfortunately you cant count on them to hold up.
Pros: None
Cons: This was the 3rd bat I bought from viper bats. Not sure why I bought it because the first 2 broke. This one broke on the first hit. They claim to offer a "no hassle" 30 day warranty but will charge $25 to "process " your claim so you can wait another couple of weeks so they can send you another twig to snap.
Pros: There are no pros for a broken bat
Cons: My son is a base hitter. His best hits go just past 2nd base. This bat broke on the first hit. Never warmed up with it wanted to save it for the game. Viper bats claimed it has a warranty but they charge a $25 "claim fee" and they will send out another twig. No money back. Why would I want another one of these. They are not worth the lizzard skin wrap I put on it.
Pros: My son's and teammates impressions: Great feel and lots of pop off the bat. This was not an overly heavy bat so it didn't interfere with his swing. His teammates loved to swing it, but we had to limit use. Didn't want someone other than my son breaking his own bat. Considering buying another one.
Cons: The dark finish began to crack and deform after about 6 months use. An inside pitch ended it's life after 8 months BP use.
