Pros: Bat is very evenly balanced and has good pop when you hit the sweet spot. My 9 year old daughter really likes the bat and says it feels better than her previous bat.
Cons: My daughter does complain that she does still get a vibration at times from the bat. She has also complained her batting gloves are slippery ion the handle and gets a better grip without batting gloves.

Pros: First off would like to say great customer service. I ordered the bat on Saturday and was here via regular shipping on Friday. My daughter is really picky about her bats she is 11 and has a favorite bat. I bought her this one and she now has a new favorite bat. This bat is weighted evenly, the sweet spot is bigger and she has increased her bat speed which in turn her hits are going farther. she has said nothing but positives about this bat. I will continue buying equipment from Cheap bats they know how to take care of customers.AAAAAAAAAA++++++++++
