Rawlings Quatro -- any feedback?

[Julie]

Has anyone had any experience with these bats? My daughter has a CF9 and a Xeno and uses both depending on the situation but I keep seeing the Quatro and seeing some of the NPF pro teams and college teams using them, so I was curious as I've not seen one anywhere in use locally.

My daughter used one all summer and absolutely loves it. Great pop. First weekend using it she hit 2 dingers at practice. It is just slightly end loaded. She has the -10.

Thanks for the feedback! We might have to give one a try.

Our daughter tried one this summer just for fun when one was brought to a practice for the girls to try. She really liked it. We recently ended up buying one for next season. She has only used it a few times but really likes it. She had been using a LS Xeno (2015) The Quatro sounds different and at first she wasn't sure if she liked it because she thought it sounded "dead" but the way the ball came off it proved otherwise. She was able to try other bats as well and liked the Quatro the best. The LS bats were right there with this bat though, at least in her opinion anyways. As with any bat, I'd suggest going to SPC (in Mentor) if you are close enough as they will let her try all of the new bats in their batting cage so she can choose the one that feels best.

Should be banned...ridiculous. how dumb have we become to make these bats as hotbas the quatro...if your daughter hits one over with a quatro...please dont brag about it

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying as your post obviously has some typos. However, I was not bragging and nowhere did I say she "hit one over". My point was, the bat sounds different than what she is used to with the LS bats- it has a hollow type thud sound that she thought made it sound dead. However, it was obvious that it was not dead because it worked just fine. Maybe you should just let people try to help each other and stop trying to put people down.

I am going to share this with my daughter and have her give it a try. She does love her Xeno; she is not quite so much in love with the CF9. It is a bit lighter; she uses it late in tourneys when fatigue starts to set in. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated!

I can share some "insider" info on the bat. Rawlings is owned by the same group that now also owns Worth and Miken. Good chance it is a Worth or Miken bat in sheep's clothing.

Not saying that means it is good or bad but anyone who still plays slowpitch knows that Worth and Miken make some of the hottest bats in those worlds. I would say it was just a matter of time before they got into the girl's market with something nice.

I can tell you I was a big fan of Suzy Quatro if that helps at all.

I played slow pitch for many years -- our team finished second in Western Worlds in Las Vegas for your very organization (And yes, second blew the big one when we were that close in an extra inning game to lose it) and always an Easton loyalist. The Synergys were my personal bomb. I mentioned the bat to my hubby and he said the same thing about the joint ownership and assumption that it might be a retooled one of their bats to hit the market. I have a feeling we are going to start seeing a lot more of them locally given the reviews folks are giving it.

The voice of reason in a mad, mad world speaks.

Someone private message me and said they think it is the Worth Legit. I do not know much about Worth releases in youth since they are really a non player compared to Easton, Slugger, and DeMarini. Now in adult, they are hot hot hot!!

Sorry, doesn't add to the op at all. Maybe drew a Jett bat out there somewhere??? Lmao
