This bat has the reputation for being awesome and for good reason. It’s a great bat that will help enhance your kid’s game. It’s got a somewhat lightweight feel while still feeling solid and durable. It gives a satisfying pop sound when the ball is hit.
The only thing I dislike about the current year’s model is this ugly color. For whatever reason they think pre-teen/teen boys like this color combination. Who knows, with all the Bruce Bolt gloves, wild sunglasses, and other brightly colored attire maybe they do know their target audience. But my son personally doesn’t like flashy neon colors, although you can’t argue that this bat doesn’t deliver in performance. Last year’s colorway with the red and yellow made more sense for a bat called Hype Fire. Maybe next year they’ll return to their roots and stick with something more reminiscent of a flame, and not a flamingo.
