### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

  

**PROS**

-   It has a large sweet spot, making it perfect for power hitters to hit balls off and over the fence, even in colder weather.
    
-   This bat is amazing! With a slight end load and tons of pop, it's the perfect choice for any player. We're so happy we made this purchase - it's definitely worth it!
    
-   This bat has a huge sweet spot, is super forgiving on the hands, has no vibration in the handle, and is more durable than other bbcor bats.
    

**CONS**

-   Unfortunately, after the first tournament it already has a slight rattle in the barrel.
    
-   I purchased this bat a month ago. After hitting two foul balls, the bat got scratched beyond my expectations.
    
-   This bat has no pop, feels like a USA bat, should be a cage bat, no pop, no pop!

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

  

The Louiseville Select PWR bat is one of the hottest bass out there for hybrids. The BBCOR model is a heavier bat and is in the same category as The Goods by DeMarini. Only about 20% of the market is going to be able to use this bat just because of it’s weight. It’s designed for a power hitter who likes a stiff feel and big barrel.

  
  

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vibration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

  
Mid-balanced or **End loaded**?

### Expert Notes
Easton’s XL1 bat series retired while it was still on top—but that doesn’t mean these
bats should stop seeing steady use. The most recent Easton XL1 release was in 2015,
with a bright orange bat that came with a two-piece composite, end loaded feel that was
preferred by many of my power hitter teammates. These same hitters also mentioned
that the neon yellow 2014 XL1 model is not only equally good as its newer orange
evolution, but also one of the best metal bats of all time. (_Pitcher's note_: I still have trauma
from all the bombs that Easton XL1 bats have hit against me.)
