Bat review Joshua Bell player
Pros: VERY LIGHT feels more like a drop 6 or 7. Since it is like this you can get some great bat speed. If you are a smaller kid and your team is required to use a drop 5 this would be a great bat if your not that strong. Although because of this it does not have that much pop. I tried the same size mako xl beast which is the same weight yet is end-loaded so its going to feel more like a drop 4. If you are a stronger kid then I definantly recommend the beast.
Cons: Not that much pop but great bat speed
bombs Mr. Coach 24 coach

1 1 parent
Pros: not much
Cons: son had used the drop 8 last year and moved to the drop 5 for Fall Ball and bat just doesnt have same pop. Used a Marucci this weekend and went 2-4 with a HR and solid contact. Son loved the drop 8 but says this one feels dead.
Great Buy Phillip Robbins coach
Pros: The perfect bat for those -5 age groups. My son actually used the -5 in a -10 league because it was hotter
Cons: Takes a while to break in, if you call that a Con.

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.
