Amazing is an understatement Tyler Dickey coach
Pros: Blown away by the quality of the cut, finish, grip, and performance. Bought 28" for my 9 year old. We have two dozen wood bats now but this one. This one is special. The one we received was as light as a metal bat, sweet spot on par or better than other $50-100 maple and ash bats he owns, but the lack of vibration from the cut and grip are superior. Best bat in my opinion for younger players due to quality, price, and performance.
Cons: None-
nice bat travel dad parent
Pros: light balanced feel. my 9yo loves the classic wood sound. good quility and pop. great for tee work, soft toss, and Bp. i would recommend tgis bat to all youth players working on getting stronger and improving bat speed.
Cons: none
Great Bat Tony K parent
Pros: The bat is well made and the ball jumps off of it. It's my son's first wood bat and was worried about the heavier weight than the metal one he uses. No issues at all and it actually helps that it is a little heavier. He actually received compliments about the bat from others in the cage.
Cons: none at all.
Kid loves it Ernie coach
Pros: lighter than his bamboo, good balance, loves the way the ball comes off it
Cons: heavier than a composite bat, but worth it

I am not positive how to choose bat size. Boy will be 9 end of Feb. and wants his first wood bat for spring Cal Ripken league. Always used Aluminum, last year used 28/29. Thin build but athletic. 4'-3" and 61 pounds now. Patrick's 1st wooden bat
My son has a Louisville Slugger Select 718 -10 USA baseball bat WTLUBS718B10, length 29 inches and 19 ounces. He is 54 inches tall and weighs 70 pounds. I want to get him a wood bat - what size do you recommend in this bat? Asking as with only a -5 drop on this wood bat I expect it may be heavy for him since it will be 24 ounces vs the 19 ounces he is use to. JJ
We would like to purchase the y271 maple louisville slugger for our son for the rest of this year and next year. He is 10 now and weighs 100 lbs and is 60" tall. He currently is using an USA 30" 22 oz. bat. What size would you recommend that he would be able to use into next year? Garlene
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.
