Do you have any information/referrals about the new Reebok baseball bat? My son saw the bat at a tournament this weekend in Sarasota and I was wondering what was out there. He is a sophomore in HS so I would like the information on the model I have listed below. I have copied the bat information below:

Reebok VECTOR O Adult Bat 3
SKU/ISBN # j15694

Mike, thanks for your question. Reebok joined the bat market in 2008 (2009 models), with their Vector-O as their front runner. It is what we call a "hybrid" model, meaning that it has a composite handle, and an aluminum alloy barrel.

It also has something unique to Reebok bats called O-Ports. These are holes placed in the bat between the handle and barrel that HAVE been proven to reduce drag, therefore improving bat speed.

As far as performance goes, I have not had a chance to use it, but from what I know it does seem to have pretty good pop. The 2009 model does however get mixed reviews, because apparently they have a tendency to dent. According to the Item #, what you saw at the tournament is the 2010 model, and I don't know whether or not they dent as easily as the 09' models or not.

Thanks Mike,

Brandon
