Pros: This New Thunder is really a state of art for softball players. I buy it in Puerto Rico 2 weeks ago and it's the only bat used in my team.Everybody love it because the golden stripes gave the sweet spot area!
Cons: Everybody wants to use my THUNDER!
Magnum

Robachica
Pros: Seriously, this bat has heavy duty hitting power. its light weight 28oz and feels so nice when you swing. Just have to make sure you get a full nice swing and guaranteed it will slap the crap out the ball. i just started using it in my ASA league and kid you not, the shots keep raining over the head of the out fielders.
Cons: depending on the league. some leagues do not allow white bats because obstruction with the ball. make sure you show the thunder logo alot so they don't call you out on it. :)
neveruseathunder
Pros: none
Cons: this bat is the worst 70 dollars ive ever spent. i could cut a tree branch out of my yard and hit a ball farther!
dtrig
Pros: very balanced and even swing, a perfect line drive hitters bat, with surprising pop
Cons: one of the lightest bats on the market, so be careful heavy hitters
cjhamer
Pros: Nice light feel, good hitting power, can pick your spots
Cons: Make sure you hit the sweet spot or it will sting your hands off, a little to light for a home run hitter
Gamecrock
Pros: Nice sweet spot, and swings balanced! My favorite wood bat so far!
Cons: A little more vibration than I was expecting, but I'm a first timer with wood bats!

Pros: sounds good, hits are solid, feels like good pop

About the Brand
The Brett Brothers “entered the bat business with the goal of ensuring that coaches at all levels of baseball have access to superior quality composite wood bats that are cost effective." The Brett Brothers have been involved in baseball their entire lives. We are four brothers and all of us played professional ball at one time. Bobby and John played in the Minor Leagues, and Ken and George together put in 31 years in the Major Leagues.
Not only did we play baseball because we were good, we truly loved the game. Even today we closely follow the sport. George still works for the Kansas City Royals. Ken has been a broadcaster for 11 years with Fox. Bobby runs our professional franchises here in Spokane, the baseball Indians and the hockey Chiefs. The oldest brother John is a frequent visitor here to see his brothers and watch our teams play.
Like most baseball families, it all started in a small Southern California town call El Segundo. The boys are all about two years apart, and we had some kind of sporting event about every night. I remember most of our family meals were hot dogs, and everything was on the fly. Our parents were always there to cheer for us, and our lives were generally very happy.
Ken was the first to sign a pro contract at age 17. He was the fourth player taken in the annual draft by the Boston Red Sox. When their scout Joe Stephenson came to sign him, our dad said, "the one you really want is the skinny, barefooted one, George." George in 1966 was all of 12 years old.
If you move up the clock to 1971, George was a senior, and Joe Stephenson desperately wanted him to be Boston's #1 pick. The Red Sox said no, and the Kansas City Royals took George in round #2. The rest is history. Ken played 11 years for numerous teams. George turned out to be exactly the player our late father envisioned. He was a 3-time winner of the Batting Title in three different decades. He was very consistent, and always played the game very hard. He was the greatest Royal, and still makes his home in Kansas City. In the summer of 1999, he was awarded Baseball's highest award, election to the Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
In the spring of 1998, the Tridiamond Bat Company needed a place to "try out" their new baseball bats. Because the Bretts owned the only local professional team, an association was formed. When Tridiamond got both NCAA and Major League approval to sell bats, they needed some baseball help. At this time we bought into the company and changed the name to Brett Bats.
