Very disappointed with this bat and with Dicks!!!
I purchased this bat for my daughter in March '21. Initially I was very happy with the results of this bat that my daughter was getting with her hitting. It is now June '21 and this bat is having issues with separation in the barrel of the bat. It has not even gone 4 months!!! Luckily we purchased the extended warranty thinking that if we had a problem with this bat we could exchange it or another Rawlings Mantra. Ohhh... I was so wrong! We took the bat back to our local Dicks to exchange it only to find out that Dick's does not carry this bat any longer in their stores or on their website. I was not offered any explanation why this is the case. I have researched it online and have not found what the reason may be either.

Nice bat, high quality
I'm not a softball bat expert, but this one is pretty great! I've been using it to hit some balls with the kids at the park nearby. It's all that I would expect from a quality bat and way nicer than anything I would have probably picked out. I did play softball when I was younger and actually had a collection of wooden and metal bats at home. I would have gladly added this to my collection and it would have been my primary use one for sure. Lightweight, well constructed, nice feel in the hand

Wow, great bat.
Super light, compliant with all the major organizations. This bat is truly top of the line. First used in tournament this weekend and saw major improvement in swing and solid striking. Mantra series is really top of the line.

Wowzers!
This bat is well worth the money. It's well balanced and the balls really pop off of the surface. Rawlings continues to set the standard with this bat. It blows away the competition. We will be using this bat for years to come.

Very hot bat.
Bought it a month ago. It has been hot right up to the point it broke. First the blast holder came loose out of the end, glued that back in. Now the thing rattles like a rattle snake. Wondering if we just got a bad one.

Disappointing
Daughter did not use the bat until about a year after purchase. Wear on the bat is consistent with little to low use. Bat is broken between the handle and barrel. Although the bat was outside of their advertised warranty, I contacted customer service that they may at least offer some assistance. I was not expecting a full replacement. Customer service representative wouldn't even go past the part about being outside the one year warranty to find out any more information on what the issue was or come to a resolution. This was a $400.00+ purchase that was a disappointment. Especially when I have knowledge of other people sending in bats out of warranty and getting assistance or full replacements.

Does Not Hold Up
My 14U daughter has gone through two of these bats. First one started to rattle about 3 months into it. The replacement blew out the end cap 3 weeks out of the wrapper. These were all hit indoors at normal temps. Not impressed with the Mantra.

33 -10?
This bat is definitely hot. We bought this bat because her Ghost dual stamp barrel was loose and had to send it back. And didnt know how long it would take to get it back. So when we got the Mantra 33 -10 i felt of it and immediately i told my daughter it felt heavier. But she said didnt think so. she played 1st tournament and was behind everything. But when she hit the barrel you could tell it was hot. So i didnt think much more about it. Until her Ghost came back. Then i remembered we had some scales for ebay. So i weighed both mind you there both 33 -10 bats. The Ghost was exactly 1oz lighter with the plastic still on it. So did i get a -9 labeled wrong? Granted the scales might not be the most accurate but this should at least show the difference. But people say it swings lighter? The jury is still out we may have to go back to the ghost.
