Rawlings 2020 Velo ACP BBCOR Baseball Bat (-3) | High Performance Youth & Adult Baseball Equipment | Perfect for Games, Practice & Training

Thanks youThe handle wrap is definitely thin, buy a lizard skin wrap when you buy this batSo far so good!Son loves this bat.A good bat, but unfortunately, it does not live up to the 2019 model. Really was hoping that it would be even better than the 2019 model, but it does not have the same pop.We didn’t even get a full season out of it. It cracked. We didn’t get to play but a few games in spring because of Covid. Then the beginning of this season.This bat is hard to describe because it has some weight to it yet it is really lightweight. I think it's that the weight is concentrated in the right spot is what I'm trying to say.I took a group of kids out (their parents are all some of my good friends) and let them test out all of these ball bats I have, some on the low price end and some on the high end and I didn't tell the kids which bats were which.The Girls hated this one and none of them wanted to use it but the boys chose this as the second favorite. Their top pick as a simple $50 Youth bat. The girls complained that this one was just way too big but I get that, they are little girls ages 8-13 so I can see why they had problems with it. The boys however liked how it hit and this one had the most home run hits of all the bats but they boys agreed too that it was kind of heavy for them but of course this one IS an adult bat. I'd love to run this test with some adults this coming spring.Overall this is a great bat but the price is pretty high so it qualifies for a 4 star rating based on my system.*If this review helped you make an informed choice about this product in any way I would appreciate it if you take a moment of your time and let me know by hitting the Helpful button and letting me know. I appreciate that you took the time to read my review, Thank you!*This Rawlings Velo is like a dream come true! Amazed and beyond impressed.I took it to practice and was showing it off and wanted to really test it out. The grip is wonderful and protective and the aftershocks of connection is minimal. I noticed how lightweight but yet hefty this bat is. It’s hard to describe something as light but yet extremely durable at the same time but, this bat is. I was so shocked to see that after the connection, that the balls seemed to fly much further than I am used to. Who knew that it’d improve my performance? Completely and totally impressed.For my fellow players, this bat is absolutely worth the investment. I’m pretty rough on my equipment and it still looks brand new after every single teammate used my bat through practice.I would 100%, absolutely recommend this bat!
