AEL#24
Pros: This bat feels amazing in your hands. It helps you get through the zone quicker. This bat is best for your power hitters and also contact hitter. The best of both worlds.
Cons: Since this bat had a slight endload, i went down a size but this bat feels so light that you might wanna get a bigger size. Also your going to have to clean the grip after every game but who cares.

matty
Pros: Great pop, nice grip, very balanced.
Cons: Piece of packaging stuck to grip.
John Kopy
Pros: Ball really pops of the barrel; great bat, especially for the price. Doesn't make sense to spend $300-$400 for a bat with this on the market.
Cons:
Brett
Pros: I was skeptical on trying this because i LOVED my friend's Air. This bat has what i think the same pop, but with a little more weight at the end. If you have power, this is the bat for you.
Cons: The grip wears down a tad quickly, but not a big difference.
dj
Pros: Great pop.
Cons: Paint chips.
Bathead

Mick
Pros: Great bat, but still not as good as the original, which was so good they banned it for a while

Anonymous
Pros: Nice looks to it. When the ball hits the bat, it makes a nice sound. Works really well on/off the ball field. Has a comfortable grip. Good swing.
Cons: A bit heavy. This bat is more for the 60 and 90 foot fields. Takes a while to get around with the swing.
