Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst SL72C

I found the bat on the side of the road in a trash can getting thrown out so I figured I could at least try the bat out, so I picked up the bat as well as 2 more bats and took them to a park with some baseballs. I took another bat from my house so I could compare the bats to it. So when I got there I hit one with my own bat and it went about 150 ft then with one of the other bats and it went about 100 ft then with another bat and it went 150 ft the with the catalyst and it flew over 200 ft. It was a wonderful thing that I found this on the side of the road!

I bought the 2012 model for my 9 year old last year. He started crushing the ball 200 feet. We switched it up this year and baught a Demarini Cf5 wich is suppose to be alot better bat. Not the case I let him swing it for a few months. He did not hit the ball the same huge differance not hitting the ball the same at all. Had him switch back to the Catalyst and he started to crush the ball again. I just got him the 2013 model cant wait to show him.

I love the bat I used it in batting practice the first day I got it the ball flew off the bat it also felt solid. Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst SL72C is an AMAZING BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Louisville Slugger is the best bat eva!!! no matter who u r .. the ball will fly!!!!!!!

Lots of pop, ball goes far...huge barrel. However, top of the bat (cap) will pop off.

Overall the Louisville Slugger TPX Catalyst SL72C is good.

I bought a 28 inch sl72c model of the Louisville Slugger in the spring of 2007. Paid full retail, and my 8 year old hit 15 homers at distances of 180 to 225. Used bat throughout 2007 for his 8 y/o team, his teammates loved it. Still use bat for practice, has some finish wear, but still has pop. Bought a 30 inch sl72cend of year close-out in spring 2008 for my 11 year old. He still wanted a aluminum bat, but once he start hitting to the fences at 250 feet, he changed his mind. He became the highest percentage hitter on his 11 y/o team, and all his teamates wanted to use his bat. He got 2 homers in 2008 of this once, and it is still going strong. I plan on passing this one down to my 10 y/o for the 2009 season.

Cracked the bat on an inside pitch, before the season was even over! Maufacturer replaced my bat with a Triton.

Great choice. i have heard that the catalyst may crack a lot but yet i have also heard that this bat has amazing pop. but overall i would trust this bat.

This Louisville Slugger is an awesome bat. Its got great pop and I love using it. i have never used a baseball bat this good before, i want to keep using this forever

This bat made my son hit the best he has ever hit!! BUT it has already cracked after 1 month of use. Now it have given him the confidence that I don't want, that he cannot hit without this bat. I have read other reviews on different websites and I have seen alot of posts about this bat cracking. BE CAREFUL!
