Description

New for If you haven't yet experienced the RIP-IT difference, it's time. The RIP-IT Prototype is made in the USA and seeks to gain your complete confidence by offering a 30 day, no questions asked, money back guarantee. You've got nothing to lose, and a whole new world of performance to experience. Beyond Composite Technology (BCT) is at the heart of the new Prototype. BCT gives players faster swing speed, better control and maximum distance on EVERY SWING. "Every Swing" is emphasized because there is NO break-in period with the Prototype. You will get maximum performance from swing 1 to swing 10,000. The sweet spot on many bats is very limited, giving you less average power across the entire barrel. The Prototype doesn't have a sweet spot at all... it has a sweet barrel. With this bat, players don't have to worry about hitting an exact spot; they simply need to make contact and watch the ball fly. The grip on the Prototype uses synthetic leather and memory foam to give players an incredible feel that customizes itself to their hands. This is truly the most innovative bat on the market today. When performance matters, just RIP-IT! The Prototype is backed by an exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

HAPPY

Pros: All that it is promised to be. My son says it feels and hits better than his new 2012 Voodoo. It has a loud ping and the ball seems to jump off the bat. Now I see how they can offer a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee, it performs great. My son said "send the Voodoo back, I'm keeping this one."

Cons: Paint job was not perfect, it looked to have dust and a few pieces of hair in it. Nice grip but the top of it seemed to be taped with electrical tape that had already started to come loose just out of the package.

Pros: The grip felt good, tacky.

Cons: I'm not sure where to start. Small sweet spot, looks like a lollipop. Compared with the other bats my son has had in the same price range, very poor pop. Even bat he has that are $100 cheaper have better pop and feel off the bat. My son hit with it for a week and then was ready to get our money back. Honestly, I just didn't see great pop... it has average pop. It also dented the second time he used it. Big applause to Rip-It though for standing behind their product and offering a money back guarantee which they pleasantly and no questions asked refunded. OTHER COMPANIES SHOULD SHOW SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OFFER THE SAME DEAL!!! Having said all this, I WOULD give a Rip-It bat another chance if something else came out because I trust this company to stand behind their stuff.

is it a bbcor bat bigben617

No. BBCOR only applies to -3 Adult baseball bats. This is a Senior League bat and it is not regulated by the BBCOR standard.

Brett

Is this an alloy or composite bat? Yeahhh

This is 100% alloy.

Brett

How is the weight distribution of this bat? Is it end loaded..or more balanced? yeahhh

This is going to be a balanced bat.

Brett

What specific type of alloy is the PROS1 RIP-IT? I cannot tell from the RIP-IT website. SC777? CU31? C405? jroymd

The PROS1 uses Rip-It's Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy (ATBA).

Jeff

What size is the barrel? Chris

It has a 2 5/8 inch barrel.

Kara

does it have usssa stamp? marc

Yes, it has the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp required in 2012.

Linda

can you use this bat at batting cages, are their temperature limits when it gets cold? bill

We would not recommend using this bat in the cage with the yellow dimpled balls but with real baseballs should be fine. Since this bat isn't composite barrel then there is no temperature restrictions.

John

Is it re-certified to meet bbcor standards? Little Luke

This Senior league bats will never be BBCOR certified, the only bats to receive the BBCOR certification are the adult size -3 bats.

Linda

The manufacturer is RIP-IT Elite, right? I'm clarifying the name because it isn't listed on USSSA's list of approved bat manufacturers for 2012 and I want to purchase but won't if it isn't an approved bat. Thanks! DRC99

This bat is approved for USSSA as it does have the new stamp. This bat has very good pop and one of the biggest sweet spots around.

KG

Is it a double wall alloy riscoe

Yes. This will be a double wall bat.

KG

There are comments about the paint. What's the deal with poor paint? Also how does the bat feel when hit? Don't see many of them. BMAN 77

I have not heard any issues with the paint, there are going to be some marks or scuffs after use which is common for any bat. The bat is going to have a lot of pop with a good balanced feel

Sean

How does it compare to the Marucci white or Easton XL3? Looking for a power bat for 5'11" 13 year old. I can find BBCOR ratings, but nothing for Senior league bats. PHBeagle

All three are great options, it would come down to personal preference between manufacturer's.

Derek

Do you know which has the bigger hitting zone between this and the Maruccis? (Cat5 & Black.) Also, when will you be getting the new white rip-it senior league bat? Thanks. cant decide

Not sure ont the arrival date of the new senior league Protoype. Teh CAt 5 and the Prototype have been realy popular and either would be a good pick.

Shelbe

Does this bat come in a 31 inch? I can only find 32 inch on websites. TD

This bat is made in 31 inches. However, we are out of stock in this size. Our website only shows the sizes we have in the warehouse and that are ready to ship. This bat has been discontinued and we are not expecting to receive anymore in.
