bang bang smash

Pros: I had this bat for a month and a half now and have a couple of doubles, four homers, and they were all shots.
Cons: It broke a day before my tournament, so I couldn't use it.
Boomer
Pros: Bat has a lot of pop new out of the box. No sting in the handle, even when hit off the handle. Well balanced. Good bat for the money. The drop -10 is good choice for a little stronger kid. Like the bat.
Cons: None
blake
Pros: This bat is cool looking and has a nice crack sound.
Cons: The grip is slick.
kaleb
Pros: I'm hitting better than ever, this is the perfect bat. Nice sweet spot and you don't have to hit hard to make a good hit.
Cons: None.
Big-E
Pros: Has good sweet spot and hit 5 homers with it, not including practice.
Cons: Broke once and got replacement. It is cracking and the paint is chipping where it says TPX near the connection piece and it is getting worse after every practice and game.
Lew
Pros: Awsome bat and it's not even broken in yet....Great pop.....
Cons: None
av
Pros: no vibrations even when right on the hands
Cons: this bat is not worth the price... i am thirteen and swung this bat at real baseballs probably 200 times and separated the handle from the barrel... in other words i broke it after 200 swings... not a good bat at all.
Shanemuffin
Pros: One of the best feeling bats I have ever used. Incredible bat speed. It feels 5 ounces lighter. And it's a lot more barrel than handle which means more hits and a bigger sweet spot. Not to mention the anti shock to piece and the awesome comfy grip. Definite buy for anyone looking for a high standards and reasonably priced bat.
Cons: None. Go buy it!!!!
Not worth the hassle JH coach
Pros: Light, well balanced
Cons: Not worth the hassle, my son and his teammate both broke these bats at the connection piece less than 2 weeks after purchase. These bats lasted less than 3 games.

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.
