Was breaking in the bat and it cracked right in between the barrel and the tape. Under 40 swings and it cracked. Not super impressed especially considering how much the bat cost.

The next Marsh model is absolutely amazing! So cool he did a 1 piece! Instant pop out of the wrapper!
The bat is nice. We are actually going to use it this weeoend for a game. We should be getting a win with if.
I like all of it
Bought this bat for a great price… followed the break-in to the letter… first game put it out for the team… 3 home runs… several “that has some great pop” comments… zero issues cosmetically etc.
Super impressed with my first Louisville Slowpitch bat!! Will NOT be my last!!
This was a Father’s Day gift for my husband and he loves it
The color way is absolutely stunning in person, this bat feela amazing and has some serious pop behind it.
This bat is awesome. It took a while for me to get it broke in the way I like, but the balls jumps off this bat now. Effortless power with a balanced swing, even though this is just a placement hit bat for me.
Does have a few paint seams developing after about 150-200 swings, but no damage or cracks.
Very fast shipping and the bat is awesome cant wait to swing it
Broke in per recommendations, now when you hit the sweet spot it doesn’t even feel like you touched the ball yet it flies!!!
Unfortunately this bat cracked on me in my first game. Very disappointing. I wish there was a way to upgrade to a new model allowing customer to pay the difference assuming this will immediately happen again once they send me new one under warranty. I will say the bat is HOT out the wrapper but still very disappointed.
Hi, sorry to hear what happened. We'd love to make this right and also understand the circumstances (i.e. was it broken in properly and so on). Please contact us at info@sluggerslowpitch.com with all of your information and our team will work with you to resolve this, thank you!
This thing is a real beauty. Slugger keeps coming out with great looking bats and performance is unmatched. If the durability could be fixed, they might take over the #1 spot in the softball world.
This third edition of Scott's bat is really good! The weight on it is perfect. Hopefully his next one is a one piece or the same specs as his first three
The bat arrived much sooner than original delivery date. Best value on this bay I’ve seen anywhere. The bay is pretty hot right out of the wrapper and I am impressed by the durability of the finish. Probably 200 balls hit and not a mark on the bat.
Best bat I’ve ever used. Got right out of the wrapper and started cranking some balls. Love it
Can’t say enough great things about the bat. This is my favorite color combo so I hate to see it go. It does get paint seams, but it doesn’t hurt the performance. Balance feels great, decent sized sweet spot and doesn’t break even after failing compression
I love the bat it’s hot and has massive sweet spot, it takes about 50 cuts to open up! Great for hitting bombs And lime drives
Awesome bat right out the packaging and super easy to break in.
Love lovin it
Great Bat! I followed the break in instruction to a T and this bat performed better than expected for its first game. First in game hit was an inside park homerun, second was a line drive to the fence, third was a 315' homerun. The ball comes off hot and fast. There are already 2 other players that started using it. Highly recommend!
Sounds does sound more aluminum than expected but that may change with more hits.
I absolutely love the feel of this bat, the weighting and the performance is amazing . It is my USSSA gamer for 2025.
