Great Feel (College Competitive Summer League) Sal Rodriguez player
Pros: Has a nice feel. Personally I like a little more barrel weight and this bat is rather balanced, especially since it has a 243 turn. Nice bat, great feel and a nice pop. I feel confident with it in the box.
Cons: Took a few games to adjust to the feel. After the adjustment it was beautiful.
old hick ppc player
Pros: this bat has helped my game tremendously, the pop is insane, its slightly top heavy which i like being a middle of the order guy, and the crack of the bat on contact is thundering! i hit better with this bat than i do my bbcor!
Cons: the finnish leaves ball marks all over the barrell but that doesnt effect the production of the bat
Fantastic Bat SamZ coach
Pros: -Made to Order -Pro Stock Wood not 2nd tier -Well Balanced feel. Does not feel end loaded The J143M is the actual model used by Mike Trout. Just look at the pics of his bats pre the Mike Trout signature model. The MT signature model is not actually the spec of Trouts bat... the J143M is.
Cons: none at this time
Great Bat J.K. McGreens Player
