Louisville Slugger Dynasty 2027 (BBCOR) Bat Review

Contact received a 3.22/5 rating. Hitters were able to produce solid contact from the easy swing, but the bat required an accurate swing for true high quality contact.

The players liked the weight, but had some serious criticisms. For one, they were not fans of the flashy and bright design. But the main criticism on feel was the lack of protection from sting offered by the grip, bringing the score down to a 3.22/5.
