| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Hot right out of the wrapper! Colors are bold and the sound is really pleasing. |
| My son loves the huge sweet spot. It's lighter than expected and is the perfect bat for USSSA. |
| I love seeing my son's confidence grow with this bat. He's more trusting with this in his hands. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| My son used this bat for a couple months before small cracks in the bat started to form. |
| This bat is brittle and we've never even used it against a machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke. |
| I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, but the durability is lacking. |
The Hype Fire is a balanced, two piece composite bat with a very fast swing rate. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on the second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The players love the flames. Certain leauges are starting to ban this bat, check that before you buy.
