Easton S650 2018 USA Baseball 2 5/8 Youth Baseball Bat -9

This bat is for my league age 8 yr old. His actual age is 7.5. He has used this bat for approximately 2.5 months. He plays kid pitch and is not hard on his equipment. He knows to care for his bat.
Great bat but not 2 5/8 diameter as advertised and as required by most Little League teams for the 2018 season.
My 9y/o son loves this bat. Perfect size and weight for him.
This does NOT have the USA stamp like stated. It is USSSA. If your league is strict like mine on their USA bats, you will have to return it too. Bummed.
This USA baseball garbage the little league came up with is just a load of garbage. Make parents go out and have to buy new bats. Its a racket! And these bats are junk.

Rawlings 5150 Alloy BBCOR (High School/Collegiate) Baseball Bat (-3)

Purchased this bat for a 12-year old who is playing for a high school C-team. Nice bat for the price and has a pretty good pop to it.
Great bat so far. Both boys were hitting great with it on day one.
My son likes hitting and the feel of this bat. Great shipping! Got it faster than expected. Thanks!
Best bat out there for the price. Great pop out of the wrapper.
My son has hit very well with this bat.. very dependable.

Easton S650 2018 USA Baseball 2 5/8 Youth Baseball Bat -9

And it doesn’t have the annoying loud ping of most alloy bats. Sounds almost composite-like.
So far this bat has been great for my 9 year old. He's swinging faster and hitting the ball deeper than he ever has
Top cap came off barrel of bat after first game. Poorly made.
Had this bat about 2 months before completely broke off exposing the barrel.... is only option expensive $300 bats that are USA and quality...?
The bat end cap came off after 4th game. Made a strange hallow pipe sound on a hard swing and solid contact but turned it into a slow infield grounder.

Rawlings 5150 Alloy BBCOR (High School/Collegiate) Baseball Bat (-3)

My impression is that it is not as loud as his last model. For the record he plays in college and uses a mix of wood and metal.
It sounds good and feels good in swing. Only thing that kinda is a downpoint is part of my hand stays sore from the bottom hitting, but I could fix that with getting gloves hahaha
Nice sweet spot balls are flying off the barrel.
Amazing pop, great balance. Ball really just jumps off the bat. Love it so far.
Best handle, pop from every BBCOR bat I have ever used
