What I Like?
When Looking for a perfect USA baseball bat this bat is the first and the foremost suggestion I get from most of the experts.
This USA baseball bat can increase performance of your kids, while it also feels ultra light weight and evenly balanced.
Materials used in it like Paraflex+ Composite, 3 fusion system, x-lite knob, 3 fusion end cap plays a major role to make it even more lighter and balanced.
Now talking about its looks, It looks really cool, sleek and innovative and moreover it is also streamlined.
It also has some great pop and overall performance is similar to the 2018 version of Demarini zen youth USA baseball bat.
It comes with a 1 year warranty, which I guess is also a plus point. Overall it is a great youth baseball bat to buy in 2019, I'm sure your kid will love it and you too.
It weighs 0.5 to 1 ounces heavier than advertised but that's normal for almost all bats and that extra weight will not bother you.
What I don't like?
There is no potential issue that I can point out, Though it's price is a little bit high and that's it. But still it's worth the money.
