Pros: This a a great bat. Hits the ball hard with no vibration. Feels balanced, a little heavier out towards the end of the bat but not end-loaded. Feels very solid and well made, should take a lot of punishment. Not a lightweight bat, has enough weight to hit the ball hard. My 15 year old 5'2 110 pound daughter loves it and swings it hard and fast. Great alternative to a composite.
Cons: None that I can think of. I have a few older rip-its and the only problem I even had was an end cap getting loose. Rip-it replaced the bat immediately even though it was out of warranty. Very nice people in customer service. Great company with terrific products. Highly recommended.
New for 2012! Ever dream of a bat that has the "perfect swing"? The new RIP-IT Force provides it with more performance, more durability, and ultimately more FUN! The Force is crafted from RIP-IT's Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy, so it feels more solid on every hit. The inner layers of the barrel incorporate Beyond Composite Technology (BCT) that gives players maximum distance on EVERY SWING. "Every Swing" is emphasized because there is NO break-in period with the Force. You will get maximum performance from swing 1 to swing 10,000. Since the Force is created from a single block of alloy, it provides maximum energy transfer from the taper all the way to the end cap. This one-piece design also makes the Force one of the most durable bats to ever hit the market. The balanced design of the Force also makes it easy to swing and will consequently help you make better contact on every swing. The Force is also a joy to swing because it has the best grip of any fastpitch bat ever made. Using a synthetic leather with plenty of tack, and wrapping it around memory foam, creates perfect feeling grip. When Performance Matters, Just RIP-IT! The Force is backed by a 30 day no questions asked performance guarantee and an exclusive 400 day manufacturer's warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: I bought this bat at the 2011 Sparkler after my daughter and her team mate hit some soft toss with it. They play 16UA Club in AZ. It sounds like a composite and has no vibration what so ever. She picked this bat over a CF5 and Synergy. In fact, just the other day she tried her freinds CF5 and didn't like it as much as her Force. The Force seems to have as much pop as the bat it replaced, the famed Silver Blue 2006 SCN1B Synergy.
Cons: After 2 months of practice and tournament play we have an intermitent rattle in the bat. I haven't called Rit-It yet, but I'm sure they will take of it. They have a great customer service rep.

Cons: None that we have found.

Pros: My daughter is a young 12 on a 13U Team. She always gets calls to bunt. Ive always bought her mid price range bats thinking that they're all similar. I decided to spend a little xtra money and bought her a RIP IT Force. HUGE difference! now opponents expect the bunt and get surprised out of the line drives. Great Bat Thanks RIP IT and Thanks Justbats for great service.
Cons: scratches easy, but who cares as long as ball is in play.

Pros: Color
Cons: This bat was bought for my 12 year old daughter that plays on a travel team. This was our 3rd Rip-it bat. The first one cracked within 3 months, the second one had a loose end cap that kept coming off and this third one lasted only 1 month. We never hit off a machine with it. It was used for warm-up and T-work. We never even used it in a game. I would NOT recommend this bat to anyone! This bat was a lot of money for only 2-3 months worth of use.

Pros: It swings well
Cons: In less than 2 months from the time my daughter got the bat, the end cap came off. I called Rip-It's customer service and they were very polite and helpful But when the replacement bat came, it wasn't the bat we wanted but the Reaper.

Ask QuestionCan this be used in cooler climates? High school ball in northern Ohio can get very cold.
Asked by kspeng on Mar 13, 2012
The 2012 RIP-IT Force: FORC6 Fastpitch bat is a durable bat. However, it is highly recommended to avoid use of any bat in temperatures of less than 55 degrees. It is also recommended to avoid storing your bat in places where the temperature is below 65 degrees. The temperature effects the balls, not the bat. In colder weather, the balls harden up and the bats are not designed to make contact with the balls as they harden.

What is the composition used in ballistic alloy? Why may it be better than a composite bat?
Asked by Al on Jul 28, 2011
The 2012 RIP-IT Force: FORC6 Fastpitch bat is made of the advanced tempered ballistic alloy. This alloy is a very high grade alloy that will perform like a composite bat but have the added durabilty of an alloy. The RIP-IT Force also features Beyond Composite Technology on the inner layers of the barrel giving the bat maximum distance on every swing without requiring a break-in period.
