Easton XL1 Senior League -5 Baseball Bat: SL15X15

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.

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

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

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

Pros: Use this bat has great bat and great feel

Cons: Bat chips after about 400-500 hits

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.

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

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!

Pros: great pop

Cons: back chopped after hitting about 100 balls bad durability dont get this bat

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

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

Pros: first day at practice hit the homers in bp

Cons: best bat u can every buy

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.

Pros: Nothing , I am a power hitter but can't swing it.

Cons: No pop, heavy, cracks easy, and is hard to swing.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Pros: Good all around bat with lots of POP

Cons: a little pricey

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Pros: Son likes bat, however...

Cons: Unable to use in Pony All Star Tournament. Failed bat testing.

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

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.

Pros: The ball bounces of the bat so well. I reccomend it to anyone.

Cons: none

Pros: best bat ever! it has the most pop bat ive ever used!! its amazing

Cons: none

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.

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.

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.

Pros: Two triples with it on the first day. Big pop.

Cons: Price

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

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

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.

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.

Pros: Great handle size, perfect size sweet spot!

Cons: Gets very little scratches and marks after use.

Pros: it has so much pop I hit one 320

Cons: none it is just top heavy if u arnt the strongest kid

Pros: I helped out a Mizuno team this weekend and everyone was hittin doubles in the gap because im the only one on my team with this bat i havee to change my grip at least twice every 6 days.

Cons: nothing
