Pros: First of all, awesome paint job. Bat is very balanced. I swung the first Omaha bbcor and this one seems to bring more pop to the table. Been hitting lasers in the cage. Sound off the bat is different, but actually kinda cool.
Cons: No problems. Really happy with my purchase.

by Pat #2 - Jul 17, 2011
Pros: I love this bat....... nice pop for a bbcor. the paint job is sick! everyone wants to use it from kids to college players omaha always performs. GREAT BAT!!
Cons: grip tape....but i preffer to use thin tape anyways
by BIG STICK - Feb 19, 2011
Pros: I just watched FAU destroy the ball last night. 2 homers and 3 extra base hits. This bat has more pop than the Surge or the Voodoo. The paint job is sick! Check out the price.
Cons:
by po4life - Feb 28, 2011
Pros: this bats legit. its got tons of pop for a bbcor. its the best value bat out of all the new ones. people sayin the grip is weak are right but who cares bat tape is what 5 bucks? this is the bat to use.
Cons: none great bat all around.
by Coach B - Apr 07, 2011
Pros: Our High School Team loves this bat. Very well balanced and very good pop. I can see the positive effect of the BBCOR Bats on California HS baseball but if you have a good swing you will not see a drop off in your numbers using the TPX Omaha
Cons: Price..Tough on school budgets in a down economy to have to buy all new bats in CA
by TPX Believer - May 13, 2011
Pros: This Omaha is great. Especially in the 32/29 length/weight. It has the best pop of any BBCOR bat even when it isn't broken in.
Cons: Some vibration when you hit a ball off the shaft and the end of the bat
by Jon K. - Apr 13, 2011
Pros: The ping is unique and i love it. it is very light and easy to swing. Way better then alot of the besr bats ive used. at first I was mad to realize that it was a one piece bat and i thought it looked like a little kid bat but every bat is like that and ive gotten used to it. the paint job is sick. pop takes a while to break in
Cons: The tape job is pretty bad but nothing a little hockey tape can't fix. It stings sometimes when you hit even on the sweet spot.
by J. Mott - Feb 08, 2011
Pros: Great balance and exceptional pop
Cons: Didn't like it the first couple of times I Hit with it but after it got broke in, I love it
by cubs fan006 - Apr 08, 2011
Pros: i got the omaha hearing about how they loosened up the bbcor standards and that i would be a good bat and they were right. the first hit you get you will be depressed because it doesnt have the "ping" noise like the exo had but the ball will still go far. it is like hitting the besr demarini vexxum thats how good it is.
Cons: it doesnt have a loud "ping" when you hit the ball so you dont hear that you had a solid hit. it also has the worst tape possible go to Dick's Sportinggoods and buy some hockey tape and wrap it with that it works wonders.
by - Mar 01, 2011
Pros: great bat. has a lot of pop and the ball jumps off the bat.
Cons: little more top heavy that the 2011 omaha.
by Juiced - Mar 08, 2011
Pros: Bat has better pop sound than the voodoo black. Less vibration than the last years Omaha BBCOR. Takes about 200 hits to break-in. After that the balls will fly. You'll know when you square one up by the sound it makes.
Cons: It's a bit top heavy but you get used to it.
by baseballismylife - Apr 06, 2011
Pros: It has an amzing paint job, good sound when coming off the bat, I personally think it is the best bbcor approved bat, and I definetly recommend this bat to others.
Cons: None
by Connor - Dec 30, 2011
Pros: I got this bat for Christmas, its the first bbcor I've ever tried, and i cant see a difference between it and the BESR certified bats. The weight is also very evenly distributed. Great Bat and a ton of pop!
Cons: None, Awesome Bat!
by Scorpion24 - Feb 06, 2012
Pros: Great pop, Doesn't lose it. Nice paint job. Good weight distribution as well.
Cons: None
by - Feb 21, 2012
Pros: I love the weight distribution on this bat and it has amazing "pop".I also cannot believe how inexpensive this bat was compared to others. My first swing on opening day was a homerun to right. This is the second Omaha I have purchased and I have had success with both.
Cons: none
by bombsallday26 - Feb 27, 2011
Pros: At first I thought the new BBCOR bats would be straight terrible, but they have proved me wrong. They still have great pop compared to a BESR bat but the ball comes off the bat a little slower. The bat is well balanced especially the 33. The paint job is awesome and is the one of the better sounding BBCOR bats.
Cons: I do not like the tape as i generally use a thin layer of athletic tape
by H.Rubin - Mar 04, 2011
Pros: Best pop among BBCOR. Biggest sweet spot of BBCOR bats. The thing about BBCOR, is that you actually have to hit the ball on the sweet spot to get a good hit. Just like a wood bat. The BBCOR is not only safer, but it makes players better. I've swung the Voodoo, the Rawlings, the Easton, the older omaha, the vexxum... this is hands down the best one of the BBCOR bats! BUY THIS BAT!
Cons: Slightly Top Heavy. Grip too thin above knob. I wish there was a bigger taper above the knob. but it is easily fixed with tape.
by KISKI21 - Mar 14, 2011
Pros: I loved this bat during BP. Brings a different type of Omaha to the table. and just bc its BBCOR this bad has great POP.
Cons: Little bit Top Heavy but what are you going to do

Cons: NONE!

by jesse simpson - Feb 03, 2012
Pros: bat has sweet paint job. Sounds weird but still has really good pop for a bbcor.
Cons: grip is really thin but throw some tape on it and its perfect.
by mp baseball - Feb 12, 2012
Pros: ive always had a omaha and this one has to be my favorite and ive hit with every easton tpx rawlings and demirani and for some reason this omaha just seems to fly farther and faster when it comes off the bat all in all the omaha is an all out workhorse
Cons: im sorry tpx but your grip just doesnt meet the standards so i replaced it with the easton vrs grip thats the only thing i could even think about not liking on this bat

by Angus - Apr 05, 2012
Pros: Awesome bat.Got 30 min before my game (one day shipping free) and had a couple of rips. very large sweet spot. I've tried a LOT of BBCOR bats and this one was the best for performance and price. Paint job is nice but that doesn't really matter to me. It has that high pitched BESER sound being a alloy bat. The grip is great too. Thanks Louisville Slugger and Justbats
Cons: none at all.
by mac16 - Apr 08, 2012
Pros: This bat is the bat I would recomend for anyone to use. I have had a lot of sucess with this bat. Could tell a difference from BESR to BBCOR but not much with this bat just a smaller sweet spot. Also the bat looks sharp!!

by frozenropes - Feb 11, 2012

Cons: really top heavy and a bad grip
by - Feb 14, 2011
Pros: Very balanced bat, lots of pop,reasonably priced.

by K - Jan 26, 2012
Pros: The bat is nice looking, decent pop, first bbcor i have swung before.

by brewers25 - Jan 29, 2012
Pros: This is a very good bat.Obviously not as good as regular composite but just as good as a $300 BBCOR.
Cons: None for a BBCOR
by lincoln hs var coach - Feb 10, 2012

Cons:
by Vikings#25 - Apr 01, 2012

Cons: No sweet spot really. Pay the extra 50 $ for a better bat.
by disappointed player - Apr 11, 2012
Pros: For about a month and a half the bat was great
Cons: It took me two months to break in and then after another two months it was completely dead
by schultzie - Jan 29, 2012
Pros: great pop
Cons: came with a made in china sicker on it confused
by charleston baseball - Jan 28, 2011
Pros: Great grip, feels real solid when you hit the ball, good looking bat, great sound when you hit the ball, well balanced (but a little end loaded), low vibration
Cons: lacks the bouncy/flex feeling when you hit the ball because of the lack of pop (it feels like you're hitting with a metal pipe)but that provides the solid feel. i dont know how it compares to other bbcor bats but it was about what i expected from bbcor bats
by RonRon - Feb 09, 2011
Pros: Hits pretty well and has a good balance point, but I don't think it has as much pop as some of the more expensive bats.
Cons: Why put such a cheap grip on an expensive bat?
by - Feb 01, 2011
Pros: ok grip but lots of pop
Cons:
by Luther - Feb 02, 2011
Pros: My experience tells me that most BBCOR bats are going to be about the same in pop. It's really all about the feel and looks. The BB126 has great balance, solid grip and seems very sturdy. Definitely the BEST looking bat I've ever seen. Picture doesn't do it justice.
Cons: Price is kind of high, but I think for a well-made bat it's worth it

Ask QuestionOther than the two-piece construction and the composite handle what is the difference between the DeMarini Voodoo and the Omaha? Which would be better for a power hitter?
Asked by Dan on May 16, 2012
The only difference between the Louisville Slugger Omaha and the DeMarini Voodoo is the Voodoo is a two-piece bat with a composite handle, while the Omaha is just a one-piece alloy bat. The one-piece design of the Omaha will be more stiff and is generally more preferred by power hitters, while the two-piece design is generally more preferred by contact hitters.

Why do the collegiate players have the omaha that has green and blue on the barrel? Is it a 2013?
Asked by MasterBatter on May 15, 2012
That is a 2013 model. Every year, manufacturers will release their new bats to college teams to use before they are released for sale to the general public.
· May 15, 2012
How does the Omaha compare to the Marucci Black? I'm a contact hitter and have liked hitting with the Marucci.
Asked by taylormade2b on May 11, 2012
The Omaha is a one piece all alloy bat. The Black is a two piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle. If you have used Marucci in the past with success, then I would recommend sticking with that brand.
· May 11, 2012
Alright, so I'm a freshman 5' 10", and been using the 32" CAT 5 and need a longer bat for AAU. I usually hit 3-5 in the lineup. Wondering if this one is a good bat for myself?
Asked by MvP2312 on May 09, 2012
The Omaha would be a great bat for you. It is a one-piece bat this is known for being very durable. It's a stiff bat that is great for stronger hitters.
· May 09, 2012
I am wondering if this bat is top heavy.
Asked by bravesfan49 on May 02, 2012
The weight in the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha is pretty evenly distributed. This gives the bat a pretty balanced feel.
· May 02, 2012
My son 6' 1/2" 205, Freshman. 34 inch bat, powerhitter. Bat doesn't have the horsepower he had in his old BESR Voodoo. Would you get the 2012 -3 Voodoo or a Rawlings 5150? Should he be in a 33 inch?
Asked by Packersfan4ever on Apr 24, 2012
Based on your son's height and weight, a 34 inch bat is recommended. No BBCOR bat will have the same pop as the BESR bats of yesteryear. The Rawlings 5150 is a stiffer bat that is often preferred by stronger hitters. The Voodoo is considered one of the highest performing hybrid bats on the market and is a great choice as well.
· Apr 24, 2012
Is this bat 100% aluminum? Ok for Babe Ruth, right? What does BBCOR mean? My kid currently 15 years old, using 32" -5. He's 6' tall and weighs 150 lbs. Does he need longer?
Asked by Rick mccamley on Apr 09, 2012
The 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha BBCOR is 100% aluminum. It is also legal for Babe Ruth. BBCOR stands for "Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution". This is a certification that adult bats must have in order to be legal for play. This certification was implemented to make adult non-wood bats hits more like wood to even the playing field for all bats. Based on his height and weight, the suggested size for him is a 33" bat. However, if he is not having any problems with the 32", he could certainly stay with that size.
· Apr 09, 2012
Does this bat have as much pop as the CF5 if not how much more pop does the CF5 have and which would you recommend for somone living in the rainy pacific northwest?
Asked by none on Mar 30, 2012
The CF5 is DeMarini's top of the line bat and is all composite. The Omaha is a durable alloy bat from Louisville Slugger. The composite used in the CF5 has the tendency to out perform alloy. Climate should not effect the bat's performance, but if you're worried about using it in cold temps, alloy bats like the Omaha often hold up a little better.
· Mar 30, 2012
I'm 6`6 and using a 32 inch. Should I use a 33 inch?
Asked by bhill on Mar 29, 2012
Based on your height, you could use a 33" bat. However, if you are swinging the 32" bat just fine you could certainly stay with that size as well. It comes down to whatever you feel more comfortable swinging.
· Mar 29, 2012
I'm 5'5 weigh 184 pounds and use a 34 and sometimes a 33. What size would be better for me?
Asked by arturo1011 on Mar 11, 2012
The suggested size for someone with your height and weight is about 32 inches. If you feel comfortable swinging a 33 or 34 inch, then I say go for it. When sizing bats, it comes down to whatever you feel comfortable with as a player.
· Mar 11, 2012
How does the balance of this bat compare to the Easton XL1?
Asked by JAHrule on Feb 29, 2012
The BB126 is an all alloy bat and will be very well balanced. The new Easton XL series bats have a slight end loaded feel due to the longer barrel.
· Feb 29, 2012
I'm thinking about getting this bat for the upcoming season how does it compare to the Demarini Vexxum and if I'm like 5 ft 10 what size bat should I get?
Asked by Tynasty on Feb 13, 2012
The Omaha is going to be more stiff than the Vexxum because it is a one piece bat. One piece bats are usually better for power hitters. For an exact size check out our bat coach;http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
· Feb 13, 2012
How does this bat compare to some of the Eastons: Reflex, Rival, and Surge?
Asked by Andy on Feb 13, 2012
The BB126 is a one piece alloy bat just like the Reflex, and the Rival. The Surge is a two piece hybrid design. Any of these would be a great choice.
· Feb 13, 2012
Does it not being composite change the pop at all?
Asked by chase on Feb 11, 2012
It is going to have similar pop to a composite bat, the main difference between composite and alloy is the feel, composite is going to feel more like a wood bat and will have a crack when it is hit instead of the ping sound from an alloy
· Feb 11, 2012

HOW BAD IS THE VIBERASION ON THIS BAT IVE HEARD THEY THE OLD ONES WERE BAD
Asked by CHAS on Jan 17, 2012
This bat does not have much vibration when you hit it on the barrel. If you get jammed you will feel it, just like any other bat.

My son will be playing middle school ball which will require a -3. He is also going to playing in a league sanctioned by USSSA and Nation Baseball. They say that we need to use the 1.15 stamp. Does this mean this bat will be leagal as well.
Asked by Vincer on Jan 17, 2012
If they are requiring you guys to have a USSSA stamp, then most likely, yes. I would double check with your coach first. -3 bats are for High School and College guys. They have the BBCOR stamp on them, most BBCOR are allowed in USSSA tourny's, but I would ask you coach first.
· Jan 17, 2012
Is this bat BESR certified?
Asked by Nick on Jan 17, 2012
No, this bat is not BESR certified. All of the high school and college play now require the BBCOR certification.
· Jan 17, 2012
Is this bat legal for use in USSSA as well as Dizzy Dean baseball? My son is 13 and will play both leaques this year. Thank you.
Asked by Paige on Jan 16, 2012
It is approved for USSSA, although BBCOR bats are not required in that age division unless the bat is composite. The BBCOR bats are only legal in the Ozone Division of Dizzy Dean baseball.
· Jan 16, 2012
How does this bat perform in cold weather? Suggest an alternative?
Asked by Colin on Jan 06, 2012
All alloy bats will perform the best in cold weather. This would be a great option if you play in cold weather.
· Jan 06, 2012
between this and the 2011 bbcor limited edition omaha... which has better pop and better overall performance. And why is their a 25 dollar difference between them.
Asked by JIHIGHBALL on Jan 03, 2012
This Omaha will be very similar to the 2011 model. The price is set by Louisville and we are unsure of why there is a price difference.
· Jan 03, 2012
In terms of bang for your buck... what is the ultimate deal on your site for a powerful contact hitter looking for a deal under 200 dollars? I like aluminum and alloy alot... however, please direct me to a bat with pop.
Asked by bulls13 on Dec 31, 2011
This one, the Omaha, is a good one. So is the Easton XL3 BB11X3, or the Easton S3 BB11S3.

Asked by Monica on Dec 15, 2011
This is a very good BBCOR bat that has good pop and a very good sweet spot. This is a well balanced bat and will not have an end-loaded feel.

· Dec 13, 2011
will this bat staisfy the USSSA standards? my son is in eighth grade. thanks.
Asked by raider on Dec 13, 2011
The way the ruling was explained to us, The bat must be stamped with EITHER the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp OR it must be BBCOR stamped. Not both. This particular bat is BBCOR. Now if your son is a strong kid, swinging a BBCOR will just prepare him for high school even faster as the weight on BBCOR is madatory -3, the USSSA stamped ones are great for smaller guys as it goes to as light as a -10 (which I usually don't recommend if he plans to play in high school).
· Dec 13, 2011
How does this compare to the TPX Z-1000 Composite Bat?
Asked by Jay on Dec 10, 2011
The omaha is going to be a full alloy design so it is going to have a ping sound instead of a crack like it is on the Z-1000, performance of the bats is going to be very similar

Which is better, the BBCOR Omaha or the BBCOR Cat 5
Asked by gregp01 on Dec 03, 2011
Both are great models. I personally like the feel of the cat 5 over the omaha
· Dec 03, 2011
what would you recommend for a freshman power hitter and can only use a 32, 29... the omaha bb126 or the easton xl3???
Asked by homerun on Dec 02, 2011
Both of these bats are very good options. The Omaha will have a balanced weight and the XL3 has more of an end-loaded feel. It depends on what you like.

My son player JV/Varsity baseball mostly power hitter but still has good contact used the Louisville Silhouette last year. Is this a good bat fo him or are there better options in a BBCOR
Asked by Mark on Dec 01, 2011
The Omaha is an awesome bat. One piece all alloy, nicely balanced, great pop!

I'm in 7th grade and play middle school baseball. Next year we will be forced to use -3 BBCOR. I am about 5'1 and weigh 95 pounds. I have a short, compact swing. What BBCOR bat would you recommend. Thanks!
Asked by Carl on Nov 29, 2011
This one, the Omaha is a good one. The Easton Relfex or Typhoon, has smaller sizes, down to like a 29 and 30inch bat.
· Nov 29, 2011
I'm a contact hitter and torn between the Omaha and the Easton s3. Which would you recommend?
Asked by Bob Marley on Nov 28, 2011
Well, for a contact hitter, I would typically recommend a two-piece bat. However, if you're down to the Omaha and S3, I would lean towards the S3. It will have a slightly lower swing weight.

is this bat better than the EXO grid 2?
Asked by austin a on Nov 28, 2011
It depends on who you ask, but most of the customer's I've spoken with say the Exogrid2 is the better performing bat out of the two. I would tend to agree based on my personal experience as well.

I am torn between the Omaha, Marucci Cat 5 and Rip it prototype 2. I am a power hitter who likes 1 piece, stiff bats. I had the senior league -5 omaha last year and loved it, so i'm leaning towards the omaha, but have heard great things about the marucci and the rip it. which do you think is best? which has the most pop/ping to it rather than a crack? is there one that's the best by far? please answer all questions and answer honestly
Asked by dkling7 on Oct 22, 2011
Between those 3, I would say the Marucci Cat 5 has the most pop followed closely by the Prototype then the Omaha. The Cat 5 will have the most "ping". The Cat 5 isn't the best by a large margin and the Prototype would be right behind it in terms of performance. The Omaha may not be as high performing as the Cat 5 or Prototype, but it is still an excellent bat with great durability.

TPX Omaha VS Marucci Cat5 for my son, a freshman contact hitter.
Asked by Jester on Oct 17, 2011
Both are good bats. Based on customer feedback and personal experience, I would give the Cat5 an edge in performance and pop.
· Oct 17, 2011
Im deciding between the eaton reflex and this what do you recommend?
Asked by hitter on Oct 13, 2011
The Omaha uses higher quality alloy so I recommend it over the Relfex.
· Oct 14, 2011
Does this bat have more pop than the Easton XL3?
Asked by i4gotmyname.... whats yours? on Sep 27, 2011
They will feel similar as both are 1 piece all alloy bats.
· Sep 27, 2011
How would you compare this bat and other alloy bats as far as balance is concerned?
Asked by Tide5 on Sep 12, 2011
The omaha is a balance bat. It will feel a lot like other bats that are balanced.
· Sep 12, 2011
what has more pop this or the 5150
Asked by tom on Sep 07, 2011
Both of these bats are going to be some of the best alloy barrel bats in their price range. The 5150 will have a little more pop. The Omaha will have a little more durability.
· Sep 08, 2011
I am a contact hitter; and I cannot decide between this bat, and the DeMarini Vexxum (as I've had success with both aluminum and composite bats in previous seasons). What bat do you suggest is better for me?
Asked by BlueRidgeBaseball on Aug 10, 2011
This bat has very good pop and a nice size sweet spot. It has a balanced weight which is perfect for a contact hitter.

All BBCOR bats come in a -3. These are high school and college bats. They will not come in any other length to weight ratio other then the -3.
· May 30, 2011
Is this bat a little top heavy? The previous TPX Omaha 116 BBCOR seemed very top heavy and that is my only concern in the bat.
Asked by Asha on May 10, 2011
This bat is a little end loaded. Most of the weight is distributed through out the bat, but there is a little weight that is at the end of the bat.
