Louisville Slugger

This was an early BBCOR purchase for us for one of our players who needed to go to BBCOR early this past summer for a college prep league. It is better than the 2011 that his teamates brought. From what our players said after using all our team bats this fall it falls in the middle of the pack. From louisville our players slightly preferred the Exogrid and significantly preferred the Z1000. Compared to other manufacturer's 2012 BBCOR they used they far preferred this bat to the Easton Rival or Omen in both balance and pop and liked it less than the Rawlings 5150 (their favorite bat). Nobofy showed a preference between the Louisvilles and Demarini.

Great bat, does have some slight weight to it but it isn't heavy. Works well and hits nicely, but I did notice that after hitting with it for a little while, the paint or whatever material the design on the bat was made from, did smear a bit from impacts from the baseballs, where they connected with the bat when hit.

Bat works great. Came in with a few nicks that were painted over but not worth returning for in my opinion.

Bat has a nice finish. Feels a little on the heavy side. Once the weather turns I should be able to crush a few.

Not a strong fungo but it's cheaper in price.

I use this at the batting cage, it is my first BBCOR bat and I did the research to know the Omaha is a solid prior to buying. It has a great weight and is well built. I have a few Louisville bats and this one meets my expectations. At $40 it is unbeatable for a BBCOR Louisville bat.

Looks great and hits well. The handle had a few rough spurs but nothing an Emory board didn’t fix in 15 seconds. Also has a good solid sound on contact.

Good bat. Rather heavy though. Should have ordered the 33inch one instead.
