⚾ Discover the Authentic Franklin Sports MLB 30" Plastic Bat & Ball Set! Review

Bought this for my son to play in the backyard for his birthday. The staying power seems pretty good, but when I opened the box and looked at it, I noticed that the bat is deformed and not straight like a bat should be. I'm not sure how it happened, but it's definitely deformed, making it difficult to use. Was going to order another but didn't want the same result so will look for a different type when ordering a new one.

A typical hollow plastic whiffleball style bat. Great for playing with the little ones or hitting plastic balls around the yard for the dogs to chase. A bit thin-walled and doesn't take long to dent anything heavier than the ball being pursued. Definitely not as well done as yesterday's bats. Since it is particularly thin-walled, it is also very light. Good for little kids as they really can't hurt themselves/others by swinging it around. Would buy again.

We bought this for our daughter who has recently started playing teebol and other sports and she loves it! She always asks to come back and hit the ball. It's a light bat, a bit long for her at the moment (she's about 3.5 to 4 feet tall), but because she's so light she handles it just fine. The ball is light but flies fairly well through the air, but the holes give it enough drag to keep it from (mostly) going too far and over the fence. Highly recommended for a good outdoor experience!
