Hi Dan,

I have not used this bat personally.  However, I have read good reviews on it.  It seems to be a very durable bat than can withstand a pounding in the batting cages.  Louisville Slugger is good company that makes good wooden bats.  Basically all their wooden bats have a good reputation and, I don't believe you could go wrong with any of them.

One final piece of advice would be to possibly consider buying a maple bat if durability is a very serious issue for you.  These bats have become all the rage in the major leagues in the last few years and are known for being even more durable that ash bats.

Hope this helps,
Jack Elliott
