Bat Benefits
Premium-grade AVC MicroForm composite makes up the backbone of this bat, offering an enlarged sweet spot across the 2.63" barrel and a superb balance with the handle. Power is maximized throughout the ample sweet spot thanks to the RTX end cap design. Available from 32 to 34 inches, this Prime model has a -3 drop weight ideal high school and college players. It's BBCOR certified and legal for use starting at the intermediate and junior league levels of little league.
Made for both power and comfort, this bat features Louisville's proprietary VCX Vibration Control System to join the barrel and handle. It creates an elastomeric joint allowing both pieces to move independently to decrease vibration and hand pain on mishits. The VCX system couples with a premium LS Pro Comfort grip to provide superior control and a solid grip.
Warranty
Louisville Slugger stands behind this bat with a one-year limited warranty against defects in materials or manufacturing. They're so confident that they'll issue a one-time repair or replacement for damage including broken knobs, structural cracks, and severe dents that arise during routine on-field use.

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.
