Guaranteed. To be the best BBCOR bat. Free returns if you don't think it is the best BBCOR bat ever. At RIP-IT we feel the best way to show players the performance of our BBCOR bats is to let them try them on the field. That is why we give every player the opportunity to experience our BBCOR certified bats first hand with free returns and free return shipping if they don't love them. We call it our 30-day performance guarantee, our competition calls it crazy, and players call it awesome. Material. The most responsive barrel. Our most advanced material for the best BBCOR bats. The Prototype II BBCOR baseball bats are made with our exclusive Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy. This alloy allowed us to create the best possible foundation to build the best BBCOR baseball bats anywhere. The result is the most responsive barrel of all BBCOR baseball bats ever made. What this means to players is the sweet spot is replaced by what we call a sweet barrel. Making contact with the ball anywhere along the barrel results in a performance never before seen in BBCOR certified bats. Back to top ↑ Composite free. The switch to BBCOR baseball bats means that for the first time alloy bats have a very big advantage over BBCOR certified bats made from composite material. This advantage is noticeable on the very first swing because there is no break-in period on the Prototype II BBCOR baseball bats. As a result, players will be hitting their best from their first swing to their last. Design. A refreshing approach. Best design for BBCOR bats. At RIP-IT it was definitely a little bit of luck that put us in the position we are today. We didn't have millions of dollars and decades invested in old composite technology for baseball bats. So when the change was made to the new BBCOR standard we got to build from the ground up the best possible BBCOR certified bats. The result are bats that have none of the limitations of composite, and a whole lot more performance than any BBCOR composite bat. This means players get the latest technology built to the latest BBCOR standard. As a result, it exceeds all other BBCOR baseball bats in terms of performance. Connection free. When you travel down the barrel of the Prototype II BBCOR baseball bats you will notice there is no connection joint. It is simply one solid piece of amazing engineering. This gives the Prototype BBCOR baseball bats a stiffness and a durability that makes it unique to high performance BBCOR certified bats. The one piece design is forged from a single block of high performance aluminum. Because we use only a single block in the construction we are able to reduce multiple components and parts down to just one. This type of bat design means the best performance, durability, and consistency possible in BBCOR bats. Grip. Performance down to your finger tips. Feel the hit, not the sting. The grip is another part of the Prototype BBCOR baseball bats that is just plain awesome. The grip is comprised of a memory foam technology that actually molds differently to each player's hand. The result is a grip that is customized exactly how players want it every time they use it and is another reason the Prototype is the best BBCOR bat available. Back to top ↑ Stop vibrations altogether. Let vibrations from mishits become a problem of the past with the RIP-IT BBCOR bat, as well as hits off the end of the bat, or right above the handle. Core value #3 College Sponsorships. We believe that paying colleges and universities to use our products is misleading. This is because it is unfair to our customers to promote products based on paying a coach or team to use them. We support coaches, players, and teams who use our products because they want a competitive advantage, not because we pay them to use it. Read the rest of our core values. Read what some college coaches have said already. "We have/had tried just about all of the available BBCOR bats and our guys were very upset...until we received your Prototype BBCOR bat. After our first practice every player on our team decided it was the best bat on the market. One player summed it best by saying, 'that it felt like it was cheating compared to the other bats we had tried.'" Tony Simmonds Head Coach Lake Land College "I talked to a couple of guys from RIP-IT at the convention about their bats. We got a demo and compared it to some of the other BBCOR bats that we already had. As soon as our players hit with the RIP-IT bat there was no question as to which bat we thought performed better. Every member of our team agreed that RIP-IT was the way to go this spring." Tony Etnier Head Baseball Coach Rend Lake College "RIP-IT bats have been a huge splash with our players, they prefer swinging them over all the major brands. Our program would recommended them to any college program during the BBCOR transition." PSUAC League Champions: 2010 - USCAA National Tournament: 2010, 2009, 2008
