This bat is great but it is a lil heavy. It is a good boy

5 jessicam1250_930
[ What a nice, high quality bat! It fits in your hands perfectly; not uncomfortable like a basic bat. The impact after hitting a ball was not as jolting with the high tech technology this bat offers. Worth trying out for yourself!

5 tatianaf70_3842
[ After using the 2025 Rawlings Icon BBCOR- 3, I really liked how smooth and balanced it felt. It ’s easy to swing, comfortable to grip, and delivers strong, consistent hits. Definitely a bat I ’ d keep using.

5 amyc594_9589
[ This bat packs a punch. It ’s lighter compared to most drop 3 bats out there. It has a very comfortable grip and it ’s easy to keep ahold of. The grip allows for a more comfortable grip to get a stronger hit that packs a punch. It also allows for a smooth and uniform hit. The spare is perfect for any high school boy or even college level. It seems my son loves it and is getting used to it. This bat is definitely an end loaded bat, which allows for more power hitting. This is definitely one of the best composite bats out there that I have seen being used. It definitely allows my son to get his maximum length with the power that it provides. It does have a very low vibration contact when the ball is hit. Once you discover your sweet spot you will be hitting bombs all game long. I love the coloring on it as well. It makes the dirt stand out a little less lol. 😂 I like the sand camo coloring on this. Overall I ’ m extremely pleased with the performance this gives out it ’ ll definitely make any highschooler happy to have. I see why this bat is one of higher end rated and wanted bats out there. It lives up to the word that you hear about it. Rawlings has come so far in there bat game!

5 jenniferh05
My 14 year old son loves this bat. He prefers a two piece BBCOR bat. It ’s been hitting great and feels balanced to him. It ’s held up so far for our middle school season. I ’ d recommend.

My son tried this bat and the goods in the hit trax csge in Grandville. His exit velocity and distance exceeded the goods off a tee. Great buy!!! More expensive isn ’ t always better..

5 MM boys
Loving the bat so far and I notice several other players have it, too. My son plays high school ball and had very little time to break it in but it's working well and has nice pop. Also have this bat in the USA version for my little leaguer and he loves it too. Really good value. Debated going for the catx but he liked this one better which is a win for everyone. Also appreciate the one year warranty.

5 hello kitty12

Bought this for my 13u player, first year with a heavier- 3. He gets around on it well as it is not end- loaded and found it to be easy to swing. He likes the handle taper too. Not going to say it outperforms any other bat…but it gives him confidence at the plate.

Feels a lot like the Black Magic( loved that bat)! The sweet spot is huge too. This bat is game ready! It feels awesome!

Unfortunately the bat broke during the tournament however Pinnacle Sports had a replacement to me within 3 days of contacting them! They were super to deal with and stand by their warranty 100%! We already bought another 271 to always have an extra on hand. If you want a great wood bat, you wo n't go wrong with this one!

Omg! I am in 8th grade coming back into baseball and this bat caught my eye, I ’ ve tried out a lot of bats this pre season and this one was the best. My first scrimmage this season in my at bat I hit a home run I love this bat it feels soooo smooth and it ’s the perfect weight and has a big sweet spot. Once again I love this bat.

5 pbcastro
I bought this for my son to transition from using a USSSA drop- 10 bat for travel ball, to a heavier BBCOR drop- 3 bat required for Middle School. The bat is well- balanced, offering a much smoother swing than end- weighted bats, which has helped him move to the heavier bat. So far, the construction quality of the bat has been solid- no issues whatsoever. The bat has a lot of 'pop' and is reasonably priced, compared to other similar bats.

This bat is cool looking( Lots of drip according to my son). The pop is very good, especially since the price is half the price of some of the other high end bats. Great sounds when you hit the ball and has a nice sweet spot. My son has an Icon- 5 and since he is getting ready to move to BBCOR, he wanted to get one now. Very comparable to the Icon pop wise. He is a big fan.
