Great bat! Highly recommend
I bought this bat back in February and came back. to buy another one today. Not because I needed it, but because I want to have another at the ready when I need a new bat. Easily the hottest bat I have ever swung. Always been a gap to gap hitter, but this bat not only shoots the gaps, it jumps off the face like its shot out of a cannon. I am hitting them out to the opposite field and infielders **** their pants when the ball isn't elevated. Well done Louisville, well done. Probably has around 350 swings on it and it seems to get better with every one. My only hope now is that the Skaters Edge is just as hot because I wanted to switch up colors for my next one. I am tempted to buy a third, but I will have to exercise some self control.
This speed and carry off this bat is ridiculous
Let’s just say it doesn’t just hit good, it looks good doing it. I like the Matte finish. Hardly any field wear look to it, within the first 5 at bats, compared to the gloss finish of other Louisville’s. I’m not much of a power hitter but it made me look like one. The first 4 at bats were singles… but that last at bat when sky high and back to the fence (290 ft). I know it’s not much, I’m not a big guy but I was pleased with the performance so close to the start of using it. The bat was just out of the break-in process. I have the 28 oz and as others have stated, it doesn’t feel like you’re swinging a 28. The nice thing about that is it has the mass of a 28 oz with the swing weight that is just a tad bit heavier than the Scott Hartling model. I would say add it to your bag first a different experience of hitting. It’s smooth swinging too! The only downside is I now have to find another manufacturers bat with the same specs so I can use something in colder weather. But that goes for all Louisville’s. Just a reminder , don’t hit it in lower than 60° weather. Pictures are to show the field wear. (My league like to throw bats around on hard dirt fields).
Well made bag. Not as much room (Not as deep) as the Louisville Slugger bag. Using the drink compartment reduces the amount of usable room in the bottom main section. The valuables pocket is nice and makes it easy to keep things organized.
Love this bat. So glad I got a great deal on it too
Comfortable bat with a awesome pop when you connect with the ball , my hole team loves this bat
I’ve had my first custom glove for five years years and it’s my gamer, I’ve bought a couple of the Z series as backups and use for BP and league nights, the custom glove comes out for special occasions, she old broken in and leather has held up well. The design center here is fun to customize and I’m just about set for a new one.
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.
