5- Worth 2016 Legit 32 -10
6- Miken Freak Black 32 -10

Thanks

Any of those, because your DD can hit.

To stay current with the board throw the Freak Black on your list.

DD has hit 3 of those and doesn't care what she swings. She has not tried the Mako or Worth.

(I am happy to see a worse speller then me)

I would pick the one my DD likes the feel of best.

My DD is about the same size and swings a 33/23 Xeno and a 33/23 LXT

She has tried the Worth and an older DeMarini but feels more comfortable with the Xeno and LXT
Never tried the Easton

Mako and 2Legit break .... often.

If she likes one of the other three (Xeno, LXT or CF8) best, that's what I'd get.

If she likes Mako or 2Legit best, I'd try my hardest to talk her into one of the other three.

Can't pry the Demarini out of my DD's hands (and she is about the same size)

But it is all personal - girls the same size as my DD swings a Xeno and hates the Demarini. Most of our team swings LS bats, but there is one Easton and another Demarini along with my DD's

All of them are good bats. It is the one she feels the best about that she should own.

I wonder if there is any place that allow me to try them before buying one? I mean just to swing it!!

Miken added to the list!!

Makos do not break. My dd won't use anything else to save her life, and has tried all other types listed. She keeps using one until it dies, then moves on to another. She has never had one break. Having said that, my advice is to never listen to any absolutes given by people about bats, other than their dd uses a particular one. Do not choose a bat based on somebody elses opinions. Let dd try for herself, and choose the one she's most comfortable with.

My DD has the CF6 33-23, LXT 33-23 and 2Legit 32-22 none of them are the new models (way cheaper buying last years). She loves the CF6 but had an issue getting it through the zone and at 5'5" and 130LBs I was a bit shocked. Moved her to the 2legit and she's hitting fine with it. The ball comes off the 2legit great probably better than any bat since the original blue/white xeno. Durability is an issue with this bat as two 12U girls have broke theirs. both received a replacement within a week. One of those replacements broke and they sent the 2016 2legit.

If she likes the 2legit then I would go with it, that's why these bats come with a warranty.
