Rawlings Velo BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB7V

Pros: Bat is extremely hot and also well balanced.

Cons: Nothing as of yet. Have had the bat for a little over a month now.

Pros: has a great sound with great pop. the grip tape is amazing. no need to buy lizard skin.

Cons: not yet

Pros: Great pop. Feels fantastic.

Cons: none yet.

Pros: This bat is extremely well balanced and has great pop. I've had this bat for about a month now and it still feels brand new, the only issue I have is the grip, it's rough on the hands/batting gloves (at least in my experience) and it tore on me after a couple weeks of use. A lizard skin would be a good quick fix to this nearly perfect bat.

Cons: The grip wore out and tore on my model.

Pros: My son had to jump to a BBCOR for next spring. Did some research and asked some other coaches. The Velo was highly recommended. Nice surprise; Well balanced, swing and hitting power! Not as traditionally dead for most BBCOR bats.

Cons: Very loud when hitting a baseball

Pros: amazing pop. amazing feel. amazing weight.

Cons: none

Pros: EVERYTHING ABOUT IT

Cons: NOTHING THIS BAT IS FLAWLESS

Pros: I hit the Rawlings VELO and the Slugger 617 at a demo since both are composite end cap models. Both felt similar when swinging, but the two main differences I noticed was the great pop of the VELO and a much louder ping.

Cons: NONE

Pros: Great right out of the wrapper, padded handle is comfortable

Cons: none found

Pros: This bat has a great feel/pop to it. Ive put this bat to work in for many weeks of games/batting practice and i haven't had to put any lizard skin on it. The pop should probably be illegal for games. and I've only seen minor scratches on mine.

Cons: None

Pros: Moved from Mako to Velo. Researched a long time Balanced. More so than Mako. Great pop out of the wrapper, no break-in Launch bombs or rip hard line drives (Triple 1st ever @ bat) Sound of bat instill confidence. Best ping in the business Instant impact on son's hitting...should have bought earlier

Cons: Grip came unravelled after 1st net session. Lefty hitter Question durability of composite end cap with normal use 2017 graphics/color...meh

Pros: great bat! great pop, no vibration and great sound! this bat does not feel like a -3 it is super light!

Cons: none

Pros: Great grip, low shock, amazing pop, a stunning look, evenly weighted, durable, and great bat speed.

Cons: Nothing is wrong with this bat.

Pros: The ball jumps off the bat when squared up and sounds very nice; I just switched to my first one piece bat and i'm very satisfied

Cons: scratches easily

Pros: In my opinion, Rawlings bats in general are amazing. I have swung countless 5150's and Velo's and frm i understand the Trio's are great as well. This bat is a step above the others though. The ball flies off the bat and the carry is unrivaled. Whole team uses it, 5 bombs in 2 games and absolube missles in bp. The feel is the best of any bat I have ever felt too. Its not extremely top heavy as to where smaller guys cant control it and get it around but its not so balanced that the ball dosent carry. There is also great feedback when you strike the ball. When you square it up, the feel is unmatched. As with most alloy bats, when the ball is mis-hit, its not pleasent but that also teaches you to hit. Lastly, the burability is rediculous. My 5150 had been taking 150-200 cuts everyday for the better part of a year now and it just keeps getting hotter. Never had it break or chil. Simply put, YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS BAT BECAUSE IT IS WORTH EVERY DIME.

Cons: Not a thing.

Pros: This bat has successfully lived up to its older brother (the 2016 velo). Third day of hitting, I hit a 412 foot homerun with a 103 exit velo. Light enough to swimg fast, but heavy enough to have power behind your swing. Very balanced.

Cons: None.

Pros: See those 450 dollar composites?They should be ashamed selling those bats 150 dollars more than the velo. You can't get better than this. Great sweet spot size, amazing sound and pop, best balance, and this acoustic alloy really takes away all vibration. I've hit 70 mph pitches of the composite endcap with no sting. Trust me, I've done it tons cuz I suck. JK. This bat has top notch balance put up with the CF8(450 bucks) and I've swung both. Beats the Mako beast(450 bucks) in balance any day. The composite endcap does wonders for the balance. Overview: LOUD, light swinging bat with tons of pop with no vibration. If you can't take an end load and appreciate a balanced aluminum, this is for you! GET IT!!!!!

Cons: Nothing!!!!!!!!

Pros: out of the world pop no sting i went from a mako to this and this is so mich betwr thst the mako so mich more pop

Cons: none found

Pros: Loud and explosive pop. One of the best bats I've used up to date

Cons: Scratches easily.

Pros: This bat has a very light swing weight, and can be used for contact as well as power hitters. The grip is on the thicker side but it is very comfortable. I love the sound and feel of the sweet spot, and the pop is great. Never did I think the sweet spot was small.

Cons: -Scratches easily (cosmetic) that's about it. If you're looking for faster swing speeds and want an aluminum stick, consider this bad boy. -Typical vibration like any other one piece bat, but I don't mind it because it helps me adjust for the next at bat.

Pros: very balenced it has an amazing feel to it and good pop im happy with my results with this bat

Cons: it doesnt has as much pop as other bats the grip tape came off bad vibration and very small sweet spot

Pros: the bat feels very good and when you square it up it has major pop first at bat hit a triple with it. would totally reccomend

Cons: the grip falls off after a couple of games

Pros: got this bat in aberdeen ma for cheap. fantastic pop and very light. perfect for people who dont like top heavy bats like myself.

Cons: nothing really but it does scratch and it makes a weird ding when you hit it

Pros: Bat was hot right out the box. Great Feel, balanced swing. I came across this bat by chance. The end cap came off of my old reliable and no one had a bat like mine so I used a teammates Velo. I wasn't sure how I would like a balanced bat being a power hitter but I quickly feel in love with the feel and pop of the Velo. After a few tournaments I bought my own.

Cons: None that I have found so far

Pros: Bought this bat for my son for the new baseball season. He is 6'3" 240lb junior in high school with interests from several D1 schools. He loves this bat. Extremely light with a stiff handle allows him to hit 90mph pitches with speed and power while also allowing that quick swing when waiting on that curve. A+++ on this bat

Cons: None

Pros: Awesome bat great pop and sound, very well balanced! Large sweet spot.

Cons: None to report of so far

Pros: Lots of pop off the bat, the balanced bat allows my 14 year old to get the bat through the zone quicker.

Cons: None yet

Pros: Awesome bat!! Alot of pop, sounds great, my son is 14 and swings a 32/29 for his high school team. we have mostly used Demarni composite bats which dont do well in cooler temps. we made the switch to this bat and as long as they keep producing this one we will never go back! love everything about this bat. we have not Experienced any issues with the wrap coming off yet like some other post have mentioned. Good balanced swing weight!

Cons: none unless you dont like hitting doubles in the gap!

Pros: Hot out if wrapper

Cons: no e

Pros: So far so good. I bought it for my son and with the weather weve only been indoors, but he likes the bat very well so far.

Cons: n/a

Pros: Great bat!!!!! quick bat swing....great pop...2 over the fence first time used in practice. Can't evaluate durability as well as just got bat 2 weeks ago. Gave it all 4s as just got bat and still evaluating it.

Cons: to early to tell if there are any

Pros: great pop super power

Cons: none

Pros: Big and long barrell with a very loud and vibrant pop, feels greats

Cons: No bad stuff all postive

Pros: pop amazing

Cons: dont like the knob i had to put a ruber thing on it

Pros: Its a solid bat for every level. I bought this bat for a freshman team, not sure how it would be used. It wasn't long before half the team was using and hitting very well. Its a good bat for the money.

Cons: None

Pros: very balanced. good sound (small), lots of pop

Cons: no cons as of now

Pros: Bat is LITERALLY a walking homerun! I got this for my junior year of high school, and I am batting .800 because of this bat, the POP is crazy good. This bat feels nicer than the bottom of a baby. MAKE SURE you pick up this bat, it is that good.

Cons: ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONS

Pros: ball jumps off the sweet spot! nicely weighted! great bat! will see about durability. son used one from another player in the Fall and bought one for him in the Spring.

Cons: none so far!

Pros: Bat is very well balanced. Comfortable grip. Great bat for transitioning from a -5 to -3. Zero vibration.

Cons: To help with the balancing, the handle is a little thicker than most bats.

Pros: The bat has been so reliable, every time I pick it up, I know it is going to be a bad day for the pitcher. Great pop, amazing grip, had this for 2 years now and it still feels amazing to swing. Very balanced and the sound off the bat scares everyone who is not paying attention.

Cons: NOTHING, if we are getting picky, do not hit off the end because it will sting.

Pros: I thought all BBCOR bats were the same. My son is about 5"2' and used to use a CAT 6. It was a great bat but felt it was slightly end loaded for him. He hit the ball well and it had good pop. We purchased the Velo 2017 after he tried one in a tournament.He said the bat "felt" balanced and he was also able to adjust his mechanics so he was hitting liners not big "pop ups" that kept getting caught in the outfield. This bat delivers what it says it does.

Cons: None

Pros: sounds great. decent pop.

Cons: not a good grip for people wihtout batting gloves. the handle is a little thick. hard to tell where the sweetspot is

Pros: looks good

Cons: lost it's seal within 2 weeks. Thanks to justbats.com for trading it in on a new marucci.

Pros: Fantastic balance. Large sweet spot. Consistently great pop. Amazing durability. My 17U player has swung nothing but the Velo for several years. He hits home runs with the Velo no problem. It takes a beating and performs like a champion. No need to spend hundreds more on a fancy multi-piece bat.

Cons: Feedback when hitting off the end of the bat. That's the price of using a good, stiff one-piece bat.

Pros: The bat breaks in fast and has shown good pop. It is very balance and has a great feel. Highly recommend.

Cons: None at this time

Pros: I'm in high school and i just got my second Velo bat because i outgrew the first one. Very well balanced bat. Great feel.

Cons: None

Pros: Really pleased with this purchase! Great balance and pop! My 12yr old son was using a 32" Rawlings 5150 -5 bat earlier this year and really liked it. The 5150 was just about as much bat as he could get around properly with so when I bought the Velo at 32.5" -3, I was worried the extra weight might be a problem for him initially. Not so! This bat has such great balance and feel that he swings it better than the -5 bat. So far he is loving it and the ball really comes off this bat crisply! I preferred the one piece alloy over a two piece or a composite... just a personal preference and this bat certainly has delivered in all aspects. This bat can go toe to toe with any other bat on the market.

Cons: NONE

Pros: good bat

Cons: Has a sound that a little kid would want, not someone who is in highschool or college.

Pros: Great balance. Great pop

Cons: No cons other than paint chips easy.

Pros: balanced and good pop. Still in cage but ball is jumping off bat.

Cons: nothing but if I had to pick one thing...not a big fan of the colors

Pros: This bat is truely my ole reliable, 3 years later still as hot as I got it out the wrapper. My whole team for school has used it, kids on the travel team, and it still has performed at the highest level. The pop is unreal, the durability is unmatchable. This truly my baby. Why would you get anything else???

Cons: Too many pros

Pros: Bat came quick. Great pop right out of wrapper.

Cons: Color if I had to pick one.

Pros: Very durable- i have beat the heck out of this bat and still hitting great. Grip tape is amazing(better than lizard skin) decent pop

Cons: a little end loaded but you can still get good bat speed

Pros: used this bat for 3 years in college ball it has great feel, amazing pop, with good durability. easily the best one piece i have ever swung and will continue to use as long as it is on the market.

Cons: after a year usually develop dents but i swing 500 to 700 times a week so overall the bat can handle it.

Pros: Lots of pop

Cons: Haven’t found any

Pros: Received in just 3 days, my 12 yr old grandson loves it. Bat has great balance.

Cons: None so far

Pros: 13 yr old son is new to BBCOR level play. this bat feels lighter than other bats we've swung even though they are all -3. I got him the Velo since it is hot out of the wrapper. and since it was the 2017 model, you couldn't beat the price for a high end bat.

Cons: Nice bat, but it's a little purpler than the picture shows. not that it matters, but it is.

Pros: Ball jumps off of the bat Love the sound of contact Cane beat the price

Cons: Can sting on miss hits

Pros: Easy to get used to. Son is very happy

Cons: Not any yet

Pros: Great feel , nice balance and power. Ball just flys of this bat. You know when it is hit just right, there is a beautiful PING......

Cons: None

Pros: Pop and feel was everything my son was looking for

Cons: None yet

Pros: Balanced swing weight, excellent pop

Cons: slight vibration on mis-hits

Pros: This is a “hot” bat right out of the box! Great feel and feels lighter than 29.5 ounces. I am a 14 years old 8th grader and my exit velocity off the tee was 82! That’s 7mph faster than just 6 months ago with a 1.15 drop 5. The very first game with this bat I hit two balls 340 ft. Again, just turned 14 in March. Great bat!!

Cons: None

Pros: 13 yr old son needed a bbcor bat for junior high team. He likes the balance and feel of the Rawlings Velo.

Cons: None so far

Pros: This bat has awesome pop! The ball flies of the bat. Would recommend this bat over the $500 bats any day.

Cons: None.

Pros: Great pop and sound. Really provides great hitter feedback when you hit a ball on the screws with the sound of the bat and the exit velo.

Cons: The grip looks great and is comfortable but will only last a couple of hundred swings before it comes apart. Spend 10 bucks on a lizard skin grip when you buy the bat, grips are an easy fix.

Pros: Fantastic feel, great grip, and the perfect weight and balance for me. Now I bought the (31-28) because I'm an Old Codger and with the shape my back is in I'm not swinging for the fences anymore.

Cons: Not a single Con that I can think of.

Pros: Absolutely a great bat overall, good pop , good balance , swing is light . Is very recommendable and is a way better bat than 300$ ones . Worth the get , is a good price .

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Bat has a lot of pop and was hot out of the rapper!

Cons: None

Pros: Great pop and balanced. Alot of the players on the team use this bat.

Cons: Players say there is a little sting/vibration but not terrible.

Pros: extremely well balanced and has TUNS of pop. one of the best drop 3's on the market.

Cons: the grip is better than lizard skin but started coming off after only a month or 2

Pros: pop, light swing weight, little vibration on miss hits

Cons: grip is slippery when wet

Pros: Value, Balance

Cons: None so far
