GArbage Bob The Builder parent
Pros: None
Cons: It snapped on the first pitch my son hit brand new on a machine throwing 64 and losville slugger wouldnt refund it.
great bat Matt parent
Pros: This bat replaced an older 516 model and hasn't disappointed. My 12U son said this bat feels smoother and ball seems to jump off better. In fact last weekend he hit his first home run ever with this bat over 265 feet, needless to say he is thrilled with it. Has only been used for about 12 games so durability is up for grabs but so far I am very pleased.
Cons: none yet
K Dog 10u travel ball player K Dog player

He's 9yrs old. 3 days later he played up in 11u tournament and jacked 2 out in 2 different games. bat is solid, evenly balanced, durable and if you squre up on this bat good bye! Great job Louisville.b

Mrs. Amy parent
Pros: My son really loves his new bat!
Cons: N/A
Great Bat! Can't go wrong with Louisville! Albert Vasquez parent
Pros: My son is weighs about 45 pounds, 45 inches tall, and swing this 27in (-10) easily. Great pop and did not need to be broken in. Feels almost as balanced at the Prime 918.
Cons: Vibrates more than the Prime 918, but not by much. Rarely does my son complain about the vibration from hitting outside of the sweet spot.
2nd time around, still great. Matt player
Pros: Just bought 2nd 518 (bigger) for my son. Been happy with both, for the money I don't think they can be beat. Great pop when fresh, first game with new bat yielded home run and triple.
Cons: We do a lot of hitting and the last one did seem lose some of the initial pop after the fall season. Still a great bat but slightly less power than a new one which isn't unusual for alloy, but if you do a lot of hitting in the off season you may notice it.
Ok... Griffin player
Pros: You just hit bombs with this bat. This nob helps a lot with the vibration.
Cons: Bat sounds like Combat but it is Alloy?
popping freeman coach
Pros: we have had this bat for two weeks. My son and another player has combined for 4 homeruns and 2 groundrule doubles. We love this bat. It has plenty of pop. I debated on the cf zen. But one player us on his third one. This truly a grade A bat!!!
Cons: none

About the Brand
In 1842, J. Frederick Hillerich emigrated with his family from Baden-Baden, Germany to the United States. Eight years before, the 1834 Book of Sports had made its debut as the nation's first publication covering baseball. But when he arrived in Baltimore, J. Frederick Hillerich would never have dreamed of the future impact his family would have on America's favorite pastime.
After a short while, the Hillerichs moved to Louisville, where J. Fred started a woodworking shop in 1856. Two of his sons, Adam and John Andrew "Bud" were born in the United States and would later join their father in his business. By 1864 "J.F. Hillerich, Job Turning" was in operation and filled orders for businesses by custom-turning everything from balusters to bedposts.
The firm thrived, and by 1875 the little woodworking shop employed about 20 people. In 1880 Bud Hillerich, who was an amateur baseball player, became an apprentice in his father's shop. Young Bud made his own baseball bats along with bats for several of his teammates.
The debate over the origins of the first bat continues to generate controversy among baseball enthusiasts, but the younger Hillerich was most certainly involved in getting his father's business involved with what would become the company's signature item. According to company legend, the first bat was turned by Bud for Pete "The Old Gladiator" Browning in 1884. Browning was a star on Louisville's professional American Association team - the Eclipse. On a spring afternoon Bud, then seventeen, witnessed Browning break his favorite bat. Bud offered to make a bat for his hero, and Browning accepted. After the young wood shop apprentice lathed a quality stick from white ash, according to the story, Browning got three hits with it in the next game.
Louisville Slugger gloves are worn by more pitchers in Major League Baseball than any other glove.
