Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 14 Customer Reviews
Pros: It hits like a nuke
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Drops bombs. No vibration. The thin handle allows great swing speed. Tons of exit speeds. Everybody is saying it’s endloaded but it actually balanced. Enough for a contact hitter.
Cons: None
Pros: The bigger sweet spot and small handle is nice.
Cons: Needs to have several colors
Pros: Easy swinging BB core bat
Cons: None
Pros: Hits off the barrel are missles
Cons: Hits off the handle rattle a bit
Pros: Brand new to us, but lots of pop as advertised. Bought the 33". Significant power increase from the Omaha 32" - which we did like.
Cons: none so far
Pros: My son loves the bat. Great pop. Not bad for the price.
Cons: None.
Pros: smacks nukes,great pop and overall good for a contact hitter
Cons: nothing
Pros: very light feel for an endloaded bbcor and lots of pop. nice sweet spot,great value. nice grip also.
Cons: has a very loud sound when hit. i kinda like it but at times its kinda sharp on the ears. i dont mind it that much but I could see some people not liking the sound.
Pros: Great entry level bbcore bat. Light swing, definitely more heavy on the end( end loaded). It's a stiff bat. My son has only used it in practice so far but is crushing the ball to the outfield. I think this would be a good fit for someone just moving up to the bbcore (-3) bats.
Cons: Handle is thin, will probably have to add more tape to get good feel/ grip on it. This bat also has alot of vibration so you really feel it on missed hits.
Pros: great balance. very good pop. little to no vibration. good overall feel.
Cons: loud noise when contact is made (if that's a negative?) No real negatives. Great bat for high school kids.
Pros: Good pop. Durable.
Cons: None at the moment.
Pros: Good "pop", little to no vibration off of bunts or end of barrel hits. Love the sound off of it when the ball is hit! Rawling's makes good products.
Cons: No cons on actual product, but price for an end of year bat was more than I expected.
Pros: This bat hits nukes and is more balance than first thought. Son is on the tall lean side, more contact hitter with some power, but has found a new level of power in this bat. Prefers this bat over his USSA bat for select ball. Just wow!!
Cons: Once in a while a miss hit will give negative feedback to the hands, but that’s expected with any one piece BBCOR bat. We would buy this at again, hands down.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
