Pros: Great bat has lots of pop. Use it in senior league and a lot of my team use it in place of their bat. They say the power it gives almost makes other think it is a metal bat. Plan to purchase another for me the others can use my older one. I am not muscular but since using this bat I am hitting the ball as far as the big guys. Best bat I ever had. It is not the team bat.
Cons:
"The Brett Brothers entered the bat business with the goal of ensuring that coaches at all levels of baseball have access to superior quality composite wood bats that are cost effective." Consistency and durability were the primary factors when establishing their bat designs. The Brett Brothers have been involved in baseball their entire lives, through Bobby and John's Minor League careers to the Professional careers of Ken and George. The Brett Brothers know baseball. Even today baseball is an important part of their lives, with each brother being involved in their own way. George, who is still a part of the Kansas City Royals Organization and a hometown hero here in Kansas City, was a career .305 hitter with 3 Batting Titles, a 1985 World Series Ring and an induction to the Hall of Fame in 1999 to round out his 21 year career in Kansas City. Not only did he prove to be a consistent hitter he showed that he had the knowledge to succeed. The Brett Brothers understood that having reliable wood was an important component. This is why they implemented their 3-piece laminating system along with their patented ‘Boa' reinforcement handle. The all new Thunder model is uniquely designed with a bamboo core and a maple barrrel. Brett Brothers: The Very Best in Baseball! Free Shipping.

Pros: Great bat for the price. It gives a bit more pop than a comparably priced BWP wood bat. I can hit hard liners to the outfield consistently. It's my favorite bat to use on our slow-pitch team.
Cons: My teammates have complained of this bat stinging their hands. I only have experienced the stinging on bad swings.

Does the fiberglass reinforced handle actually decrease the chances of breaking compared to other wood bats? I'm a little too cautious when it comes to wood bats.
Asked by JoeyJ on Sep 16, 2010
The idea behind the fiberglass technology is to decrease the chances of the bat breaking, or prolonging the lifespan of the bat. However, when hitting with wood bats there is always the chance of a mishit which would result in the breaking or cracking of the bat.
