Core Value: Create a Healthy Work Environment

Progress is something that I have been struggling with lately, and I have found that it is not just me; everyone struggles with progress due to the never ending puzzle that is life. Life can sometimes feel daunting, but as humans we strive to solve our problems. Some people have a variety of problems on any given day, while others solve the same types of problems five days a week. Either way our bodies are being attacked by the stressors of this world. Luckily, by design humans have conditioned themselves to be extremely resilient, we plug on day after day hopefully getting the opportunity to enjoy the time we have with our loved ones.

TPX Vertex

Posted by Kara K on Oct 12, 2011 3:42:42 PM

Louisville Slugger has really stuck to their guns with the Vertex series. The Vertex series is great balance of technology and respect for the game. Louisville uses their very strong LS-2x composite material for the handle which makes it even more stiff than its counterpart, the Exogrid. The very stiff handle with an alloy barrel creates a whipping action through the zone that is like no other. The combination of composite handle with an alloy barrel makes for an incredible barrel flex for hitters looking for an edge on the competition. The Vertex proves that Louisville is maximizing technology to its fullest potential.

New Z-1000 Senior League Bat

Posted by Kara K on Sep 23, 2011 11:08:27 AM

It’s fall ball time in our local league and my son is ready to make sliding catches and hit some balls out of the park! What better way to start the season then grabbing the new Louisville Slugger Z-1000 and giving it a test run? He’s used the Easton Omen in the past, so he was ready to try the newest composite bat. The bat is 2 ounces heavier than his Omen, but he got around quick and hit the ball “really far” in his words. Even Grandpa noticed a difference and couldn’t believe how hard his grandson actually hit the ball with a heavier bat. My kid is tall, but he’s not going to win any arm wrestling contests anytime soon. So the balanced weight was great for his swing. And of course, the most important feature of any bat to a nine year old, “it looks really, really cool” and I look really cool holding it Mom! Well, who wouldn’t want to look cool hammering balls into the outfield with every swing? Kids don’t care about improving their stats like RBI’s, HRs, OBP, SLG, and OPS, right? Then they would never like this bat.
