Pros: Overall it’s a great bat for the money. My son loves the grip Loves it pop Already made a few great hits with it
Cons: I don’t have any cons. My son has had it a couple of weeks and he and some of the other boys on his team use it and all seem to like it.
Pros: Awesome bat!!
Cons: None
Pros: Hot
Cons: Broke
Pros: it is an good bat for home runs
Cons: home runs
Pros: I have a 5'9" 12 year old who needed a -5 bat to practice with for school ball. I caught this bat on sale and purchased it. I wasn't concerned on how well it would be because the school furnishes team bats. I was really surprised on how much pop this bat has and it doesn't seam to sting his hands as often as his other bats. This bat has become his favorite.
Cons: Looks really nice to start out, but picks up ball scuffs really quick.
Pros: A good bat for making the transition from the drop 10 to a drop 3
Cons: Only had the bat for 3 weeks in the batting cages so can’t take about durability.
Pros: I had this bat for school. Honestly with experience with other USA bats I wasnt really expecting a good turnout. However, after swinging this about 300 times I was surprised at the pop. I hit some of my farthest hits with this bat. It is incredibly forgiving on miss hits and doesn't vibrate your hands. I would 10/10 recommend it if you need a USA bat.
Cons: None. It is a very well rounded, con free bat.

About the Brand
Rawlings is a major manufacturer of competitive team sports equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, and football, as well as licensed MLB, NFL, and NCAA retail products. Rawlings is a major supplier to professional, collegiate, interscholastic, and amateur organizations worldwide, including the Official Baseball Supplier to Major League Baseball.
The first real innovation in glove making occurred in 1912 when Rawlings Sporting Goods Company introduced the "Sure Catch" glove, which was "endorsed by leading players all over the country." The Sure Catch was a one-piece glove with sewn-in finger channels and looked better suited for a duck's foot than a man's hand. Catchers' mitts used at the time were large and bulky with a single leather thong passing for a web.
In 1920, Bill Doak, a journeyman pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, approached Rawlings with an idea for improving the baseball glove from a mere protective device to a genuine aid in fielding. The "Bill Doak" model was so revolutionary that it stayed in Rawlings' line until 1953. Its key feature was a multi-thong web laced into the first finger and thumb, which created for the first time in baseball's young life, a natural pocket.
In 1925, Rawlings unveiled a three-fingered fielder's glove, and ten years later improved the Bill Doak model with a two-piece leather web. At the same time, the "T" web became a rage for first basemen's mitts. The pocket underwent a pronounced change in 1941 when the Trapper Mitt, also known as the Claw, appeared. The "Deep Well" pocket was so unique that Rawlings quickly patented it. The design was improved in 1950 by adding a leather piece across the top. Another significant creation occurred in 1948 with the three-fingered Playmaker. A five-fingered fielder's model, with all fingers laced together, provided greater pocket control.
The six-fingered Trap-Eze evolved in the 1960's. In more recent years, Rawlings produced the Fastback design, which gives a glove a snugger fit, greater extension, and overall control. The Holdster is a slot through which a finger can be extended for additional protection from impacts on the pocket. Then, there is the Edge-U-Cated Heel with its extended U-shaped lacing and the Pro H Web and much-copied Basket Web.
Some of Rawlings's more recent glove innovations also include the unique Spin-Stopper design which reduces ball spin when the ball hits the glove, and the Cantilever glove design feature that provides a cushioned area between the hand and the glove's palm area. In all, Rawlings has produced and patented more functionally innovative glove features and designs than that of any other glove manufacturer. The result is that the modern baseball glove is much larger, more comfortable, better padded, and made to last far longer than its ancestors. It is not uncommon to see today's Major League players wearing the same Rawlings glove they wore during their college playing days. In fact, Rawlings is the #1 glove in the major leagues. Rawlings maintains about 65 models of baseball and softball mitts and gloves in its line. The prototypes of virtually all of them have been field-tested by professionals before entering a sporting goods dealer's inventory.
