Pros: Just purchased the bat, and without a doubt the best one in the dugout. Has tremendous pop, and great balance. Highly recommend!
Cons: Worried about the durability.
Pros: Great weight distribution throughout bat. My kid loves the way it feels and swings like it. Great response off of the bat.
Cons: Bat dented in the first 15 swings during coach pitch. Hopefully it was a defective bat and will receive a nondefective one.
Pros: Great pop and great sound right out of the box, no vibration. 8 y/o son loves it. Has the USSSA 2012 stamp!
Cons: After 10 balls hit had 2 dents, after 2 practices had several dents and a crack. Will be sending back for replacement hoping it was just an unlucky bat.

Cons:
Pros: Nice PoP
Cons: After one weekend it was completely flat and dented badly. Spend the extra $$ and by a Worth.
Pros: Bat has lots of pop. Easy to swing.
Cons: Dented easily . I Don't recommended.
Pros: My son has generally been one that needs a bigger drop than -10. His choice this time was the CAT5 27/17. He loves the feel of the barrel and has no lag in his swing because this bat is extremely well balanced. He has always been a good hitter, but his confidence is even better now, because of the "no sting" knob of the CAT5. The sound is explosive and the pop is great. NO DENTS to speak of after 200+ swings.
Cons: None
Pros: just bought this bat for my 9 year old son. He has never hit the ball like he is hitting now. He has so much confidence while batting.The bat has a lot of pop. Thanks Marucci.
Cons: Non yet.
Pros: good pop,no vibration
Cons: dented after 10 hits
Pros: My son hit his 1st kid pitch homerun in 8U. So far, its his favorite bat.
Cons: None that we know of.
Pros: My 9 year old son has used this bat for 1 month. All I can say is WOW. It has increased his confidence 100%. He is hitting shots like never before.
Cons: couple of scratches. Every team mate wants to use it.
Pros:
Cons: This bat dented and cracked after about 15 swings. My 8 yr old son was very disappointed.
Pros: Worked great for 3 weeks..makes a great pop.
Cons: After only 3 weeks of use,the grip is separating from the bat, the cap is coming unscrewed from handle, now it is vibrating terribly! Marucci Customer service response is unacceptable. Once they receive their faulty bat back, they will fix and replace it. While we WAIT!!!! Missing several weeks of the season. Unacceptable! They should send the replacement bat and take my CC number and charge me for the new bat if they don't recive the faulty bat back within 2 weeks. To add insult to injury, they will not repair the grip, they will send a new one we will have to replace ourselves! Very disappointed! I would prefer a refund over this nonsense.
Pros: Good pop.
Cons: Used in 2 games,multiple dents. Sent back and received new one. After three hits already dented. Sending back again.

Cons:

Pros: Bat has major pop. My 7 y/o son loves it and has used it for both spring and fall travel ball. He absolutely crushes the ball with this bat.
Cons: Like most who have submitted reviews, we have had serious issues with denting. It seems to be worse where the bat begins to taper. We will most likely try an Easton or Worth next year.
Pros: Nice pop off the bat and bat is very balanced.
Cons: Thin metal Dents very easily
Pros: My son is eight and he borrowed this bat from his cousin and loved it. It has great pop and he is feeling like he can do no wrong. He's really hitting the ball harder than he ever has. We got the 27" which I think is the perfect size.
