It was OK. Poor grip, poor power transfer, poorly balanced. My friend also used it and got 4 outs with it and also said the grip was shakey.

Great Bat, Great price, Great hits. Great balance, easy swinging, lots of pop and my bat speed improved. My team is going deep more consistently and more often. Good grip, large sweet spot - Super HOT.

Have been very happy with the bat's performance! The break in seems to be more than what Rip-It suggests though. My daughter had a little hard time adjusting to the new Elite FP (she had the balanced model before). Once she got used to it, the bat performs as well as the other top end bats on the market.

At Grand Canyon University, many of the players used the balanced bat last season but for the end loaded bats they used the Stealth or RT. Over the past two weeks they have hit the new Elite FP. The Stealth is a close second but the Elite FP is the bat of choice.

DD had the '07 Stealth and switched to the Rip-it las fall. She liked it initially but the bat seemed to go dead pretty quick and she switched back to the Stealth.

Really Great Bat. Smooth swinging, feels very diferent than other bats, hits very deep and even mis-hits go to the grass. I love this bat!

May, 2007 - Not Recommended
My daughter's D1 team had a few at the beginning of the season. Nobody on the team likes them or uses them anymore. No pop!

The Rip-it and RT are used by my 12U daughter. She is transitioning to the Rip-it as her bat of choice. The Rip-it is a good cold weather bat. The Rip-it also allows her to swing a size bigger bat and get around fine due to the balance.

The Rip-it reminded me of a Miken, a great bat but you gotta hit it right.

We have one right now and using as a team bat and have at least two girls that want to buy one for their own. Power balanced bat (end loaded) that older girls with great mechanics can find useful. Seems to have better pop than several others from opinions. I think most have a break in period of at least 200 hits.
