    Not Worth The Price Tag!! Another Win For Amazon

    I wanted to purchase a mid level wood bat for my 10yr old to work on his swing. I know ash wood is typically a harder wood. The bat literally split in two after 5-7 swings. I understand wood bats break but this one was at the base of the handle. I tried to explain that to my local Dick's manager and was told there's nothing he could do for me. I was willing to buy a more expensive bat after a refund. I was told no exchange. After spending thousands of dollars in Dick's, I'll be buying my equipment online.

    Verdict

    It broke in two on my grandson's very first hit of the ball.

    For A 9-year-old Just Getting Into Wood Bats, This Is A Great Starter Option

    Picked up this Rawlings Player Preferred ash bat for my 9-year-old, and overall it’s been a solid introduction to wood bats. The biggest thing I noticed right away is how lightweight and balanced it feels. My kid was able to swing it comfortably without trying to muscle it, which is huge at this age. The ash wood has a little bit of flex, so it doesn’t feel as stiff or unforgiving as some other wood bats, and that definitely helped build confidence at the plate.

    Broke After One Practice And 3 Games

    DO NOT BUY. IT WILL BREAK!!!!! This bat arrived 6 days ago. It was used in four games and broke during the last one. A bat used properly should never break after 5 solid hits.

    Excellent Bat For $$

    Great purchase for any youth baseball player who wants something heavier to train with during BP that will last and boost your swing speed. Had the bat for a year now with no issues used almost daily.

    Snapped After 6 Months Of Use

    10U player using wood bat in the cage and it snapped at the handle. Rawlings doesn't cover their wood bats.

    Great Wooden Bat

    My son uses a wooden bat for batting practice on the pitching machine. This is the perfect bat for that use!
