For the price I don’t think you can beat this bat. I waited until a full season passed for my son before writing this review. The bat has good pop and has withstood the beatings of practices, games and the misuse of a 6 year old!

I recently bought this bat for my son, and it’s been a hit! The 2 5/8-inch barrel drop -10 is just right for him, making it easy for him to connect with the ball. He says the bat feels solid and well-balanced, which has helped him improve his swing. Plus, the design looks really cool! He’s been having a blast at practice and in games. Overall, a great choice for young players looking to step up their game! He's 12 yrs old and about 95 lbs for reference.

My son had a great season with this bat. He loves the black and gold look. The ball pops when he hits it. No complaints. Highly recommended.

Son loves it. Great blend of weight and length for a younger kid. He said he feels the difference from his older bat with the pop and length on this bat.

Bought for my son who is 11 years old, 90 pounds, and 4.5 foot tall. He plays youth baseball, he has gotten a lot of good hits with the bat. The color is as expected. He loves it! Worth the money!

This is a nice bat I like that the colors are kind of unique. This is a 28 which worked for my 10 year old. Not to heavy. It hasn’t broke or dented, but the top is showing some wear. Good for beginners.

Not an expert of bats, but my grandson loved it. So did other kids on his team.
