Cracked On Second Use

Cracked on second use by a 60lb kid, and dicks won’t take it back.

Wooden Bat

Used in 1 wooden bat tournament and it survived 4 games for a 10 year old.

Kids Love It

Amazing quality for my son and his 8U baseball team

Great Practice Bat

I got this bat for my birthday in 2019 and it is still working great for when I want to hit at home

Broke Second Time Using It.

Pretty bat, just not durable. Bat broke second time being used. Made my son feel like a rockstar, but I am out $40.

Great Looking Bat

I bought it for my grandson and he loves it he is 7 yrs old

Solid Wood Bat

Use these for indoor live work, been very good for what we do

Decent Bat For Price

I bought this bat for my ten your old son. His first at bat he hit it off little league regulation fence. He used it maybe 3 at bats and we took it to a wood bat tournament. The bat broke the 2nd day of the tournament but I believe this would have happened when you hit wrong with any wood bat. Still won the ship though.

Great Bat

We signed up my son for Winter Indoor Ball (Wooden Bat). After using this a little while in the fall and a few practices so far it has given him some needed power he hasnt had with the composite USA bats that they are required to use now.

Broke In About 7 Months

We have been a dedicated Rawlings family for a long time and never had a real problem when it came to baseball gear such as bag, helmet, glove etc... Our son liked this bat for the look and comfort of the grip and what a mistake. He is 7yrs old and still coach pitch which is just a light toss and in the middle of the season, the handle cracked right in half. We called up Rawling and found out that wooden bats do not have any type of warranty and they feel is there is a manufacturer defect, it would occur within in the 1st month. In addition, even being a loyal customer they couldn't do anything for us. If the bat were over a year old and had major wear and tear I could understand, but it is about 7 months old and it is coach pitch. I find it very hard that a wooden bat that is seldom used by a 6-8yr old league should break in less than a year. I can't say I support Rawlings anymore at this point and will be looking at a different brand to purchase from that is better quality and stand behind their product.

Dont Buy! Won’t Last!

Bought about a month ago. Only my son uses it. Lasted 2 practices, roughly 4 -6 at bats. Ball hit on the barrel and snapped the handle off. No quality.

Weak

Split 1st day we had it. Not a strong product. Would not recommend.

Good Deal But Not Good Product

Bought two of this model for my son to use in a wood bat tournament. First one broke in first game and second snapped by fourth game. A good price but quality is poor.

Maybe Ok For 9 Year Old Or Younger.

11year old son broke the bat the first day used in batting cage.

Had Bat For 6 Months Before It Cracked

This bat is great for the price. It is well balanced and didn't crack until after 6 months of use. This bat was used by numerous players on my son's team. FYI - all wood bats can crack on first use, especially if you get jammed on an inside pitch or hit it on the end of the bat. In addition, ash does crack easier than maple because it is not as dense. However, ash has a lighter weight and has truer feel when the ball comes off the bat than maple does in my humble opinion. Just cause a wood breaks on the first pitch does not make it a bad bat. You can square it up on a maple bat and it still breaks. Trust me this just happens and is why you see college using metal bats not wood.
