BEST BAT Chris player
Pros: Great handle size, perfect size sweet spot!
Cons: Gets very little scratches and marks after use.
Great Bat Nick Lynn player
Pros: This bat is easily the best bat I have ever owned. Every hit is a bomb with this bat if the ball is hit on the sweet spot. Bat has crazy pop and is balanced. I highly recommend this bat.
Cons: I am 15 now and cant use it anymore but that's about it.
Amazing justin player
Pros: this bat is amazing i used it for one tournament and hit 3 homeruns. This bat will absolutely crush the ball.
Cons: a kid on our team had it for only three weeks and then the end cap started to spin and the bat would rattle.
dinger bat Robby S.Gonzalez player
Pros: i hit 27 dingers in one weekend with this bat, it is the dinger bat of all time.
Cons: its to good to be true, but you can only hit dingers if u as good as me. i am a goat. Greatest Of All Time
The homerun bat Rob Renoylds player
Pros: I hit abut 27 dingers in one weekend with this bat, it is truly the dinger bat of all time
Cons: its a beast
great bat P parent
Pros: Two triples with it on the first day. Big pop.
Cons: Price
Slugger5
Pros: Love this bat. My son had the 31" -8 version this summer and I bought this -5 one for the Fall. The ball jumps off the bat. My 12 year old son who is 5'6" 145lbs, hit a 309 ft. home run this past Sunday. Would definitely recommend.
Cons: None so far.
Great bat for hitters with quick hands Jason Moffett parent
Pros: Lots of pop Comfortable feel Good bat before transitioning to BBCOR
Cons: Hitters need to be able to generate bat speed or they will not get the most out of the bat. Really only good for senior league. Cannot use for school ball.
Good bat Yaya player
Pros: I hit 16 homeruns in cooperstown with this bat, the bat will insure you hit the ball harder and farther. You can always hear in the bat how far the ball is going.
Cons: Grip is kinda bad, i recommend puting some lizard skin on. The vibration can be bad if you get jammed but not as much if it hits the end of the bat.
easton xl1 -5 jackson baseball player
Pros: best bat ever! it has the most pop bat ive ever used!! its amazing
Cons: none
Best bat Kolby player
Pros: The ball bounces of the bat so well. I reccomend it to anyone.
Cons: none
Unbelievable! Baseball Dad parent
Pros: My Son is 13 and we have gone through every "hot" brand name there is. Never been a huge fan of composite, hate the break in time, always miss that "ping!", etc. But I gave in and bought the XL (-5). It arrived last night at 5:00pm, we hit the fields at 6:30. Out of the wrapper he dings 8 out and put 2 into some trees about 245-250 ft. up. This bat is ridiculous! Opp power was strong and he loved the balance. He's not a big kid, 5 5", 115, weight wasn't an issue. I'm a believer!
Cons: None at this time.
Great bat Andrew Mahlke player
Pros: Hits bombs and hard liners with a ton of pop. Very durable also nice grip comes with. It is recommended for strong kids.
Cons: None
XL1 SL15X15 Mike parent
Pros: Son likes bat, however...
Cons: Unable to use in Pony All Star Tournament. Failed bat testing.
Impressive ! Coach H coach
Pros: Our team had to use Drop 5 for certain tournaments and we watched teams hand this bat from one kid to another on the really good teams. After watching our 10th HR against us, we decided to buy this as "team bat." We finished the rest of our games undefeated and had a number of kids really increase their average using the "team bat". I used it in the cage myself and I could really tell the difference in spring off the bat.
Cons: A little paint chipping
Awesome Juan player
Pros: you will hit BOMBS with this bat. The bat has outrageous amounts of pop. Even if you hit the ball of the end of bat the ball will fly!
Cons: Very top heavy
dinger bat dinger dave player
Pros: this bat is honestly the best bat ive ever had its pop is increadible
Cons: the barrel isnt as big as the -8 easton xl1 and the vibration can be bad sometimes
dangerous erfergerg other
Pros: this bat is the best bat ever made!!!! most pop of any bat in the world, cool looks, great sound when you hit it, and top heavy (some people don't like top heavy but i do),
Cons: when you are on defense and someone is using this bat u get scared lol
great BAT Eddie the midget player
Pros: its got a ton of pop' I am 13, 5 foot 1inches tall 90 pounds And im hitting dingers (not really but harder then I have ever hit the ball) great bat
Cons: bat Is so heavy but I mean im pretty weak so that does not say much but I love the bat
BOOM dingerssss player
Pros: This bat is nasty. im putting balls 325 easy as a 13 year old. the pop is insane and especially for power hitters. if you square one up with this bat it will go a long way
Cons: everyone uses it!
outstanding pop great bat dinger baseball player
Pros: this bat has crazy pop the fist practice i hit with it amd was hitting dingers way out of the park this bat is amazing
Cons: none
Mr. Mike player
Pros: Good all around bat with lots of POP
Cons: a little pricey
HITTER STORM 88 player
Pros: HOTTEST BAT ON THE PLANET. IF YOU CAN GET IT THROUGH THE ZONE IT IS DANGEROUS FOR PITCHERS.
Cons: VERY END LOADED AND IS DROP THREE WEIGHT DESPITE - 5 LABEL. IT MAY ELONGATE YOUR SWING AND CAUSE SOME HITCHES WHERE YOU ONLY HIT LOW BALLS OR OUTSIDE PITCHES. AMAZING POP BUT EXTREME END LOAD.
boss!!! cw player
Pros: its the best bat ive ever swung. the ball fells like a spring coming off the barrell!
Cons: a little heavier than a -5
best pop ever steve player
Pros: I'm 115 and 5'5 and I hit a ball about 300 ft (homerun) with this bat....... probably 30 or 40 feet farther than my next deepest shot, this was also the first at bat I used it. It's pretty hard to miss the ball with this thing because everything off the bat is hit at least pretty hard. Very top heavy so some kids won't be able to swing this.
Cons: heavy, feels like -3 sometimes. if you're looking for a lighter feeling -5 the voodoo is certainly the bat for you.
2015 XL1 Trey Truitt player
Pros: This bat is awesome, we just had a tournament and i went 21 for 22 with 4 homeruns, 6 triples, 10 doubles, and 1 single. Im twelve playing 14u baseball and the fence was 350 and i was still putting balls over a 350 fence. This bat has so much pop, i even hit a few of the end of the bat and it was still going far.
Cons: None
xl1 Jeff C. coach
Pros: My 13u team has 2 of these bats now and looking to purchase more, great pop and weight balance.
Cons: paint chips real easy
XL1 Review Warden parent
Pros: This bat looks really cool and has a great feel and incredible pop and no vibration. It is well worth the price.
Cons: This bat is a bit end loaded but once you get it through the zone I don't think there is a bat out there with more pop than this one. A 32/27 swing weight is pretty close to comparing it to a 32/29.
Bat Ryan Sullivan player
Pros: Nothing , I am a power hitter but can't swing it.
Cons: No pop, heavy, cracks easy, and is hard to swing.
POP!!! Heavy G parent
Pros: This is the first bat I have ever reviewed because this is the best bat I've ever bought. I don't usually pay attention to a lot of reviews because I always believed that the manufacturer or someone that sells that particular bat is trying to sell more without being completely honest, plus this bat is $300. So with that being said, this is the hottest bat out of the wrapper I have ever bought. I'm not going to tell you he has hit 5 homers in his first tourney because he hasn't used it in a tourney yet. The first day he hit a ball with it, we both stopped and looked at each other. Unbelievable POP! I'm not saying it's the best bat ever. I'm saying it's the best I have ever bought and I have bought a lot of bats. By the way, if it helps, my son is 12.
Cons: A little heavy.
punisher jamie-gnatnation player
Pros: first day at practice hit the homers in bp
Cons: best bat u can every buy
xl1 cezzy wezzy player
Pros: im a 13u player and i play for my mid-west international team and my first hit was a homer and in the cahes i was roping the ball
Cons: nothing best xl1 yet
Power Baller player
Pros: Has a ton of pop with a trampoline effect, better for power hitters, but just a great bat in general.
Cons: Top heavy so better for bigger, stronger kids
xl review dingersfordays player
Pros: great pop
Cons: back chopped after hitting about 100 balls bad durability dont get this bat
I am a fourteen yearold. Landon Henley player
Pros: This bat is beast! Its hot when it comes out of the box and when you break it in you will hit tanks I guarantee it.
Cons: I have none. Best bat ever made!
Worst bat Easton made Anonymous parent
Pros: None
Cons: I had this bat for 2 weeks and it busted so I took it back to Easton to get it fixed and when I got it back it broke again
So far so good Derek coach
Pros: The bat has a crazy trampoline effect from the composite. My player is 13, swings the 32 / 27. He is huge for his age (5'8'' solid 190). He went from a BBCOR drop 3 to this so the 2 ounces lighter is making a big difference in speed and control of the bat.
Cons: The only con to this bat is the handle is really thin. I have smaller hands and when I grabbed and swung the bat, right away I could feel the narrow handle. My player said he thought it was pretty thin too. He has larger hands than I do.
Anonymous
Pros: Use this bat has great bat and great feel
Cons: Bat chips after about 400-500 hits
Beast bat Djr parent
Pros: Bat is really good, has toons of pop, I would recommend this bat if you are a big strong kid and can hit a baseball solid. This bat will make you a even bigger stud!!!
Cons: Nothing
xl1 NIck Gallo player
Pros: I am a 12 year old and i play for the USA team. Just got this bat and my first at bat was a bomb. Great feel. But it is not good for your average ll player. Even if it comes off the end its till goes far.
Cons: Nope
Great pop and great bat G-dizzlllleee player
Pros: GReat bat, great pop, even if you hit it of the end its still going farrrrrrr. First practice was crushing them. Definitely recommend it
Cons: Little top heavy if you aren't a strong kid, not good for littler players
Top choice for power hitters M.C. parent
Pros: This bat is amazing for power hitters. This is not your typical drop 5 bat. My son claims this is heavier to swing that a balanced BBCOR he has. However, if you can swing this bat, it is amazing with excellent pop (given the mass you are swinging) right out of the wrapper. In our practices, he is hitting the ball farther than with his other drop 5.
Cons: This is not a true drop 5, it is more like a drop 3. Also, the bat scratches easily. Finally, you need to practice a lot with this bat to get used to. This bat is not for everyone.
