Generally, I agree. However, when my older DD was a freshman in HS, I replaced her Easton Synge 32/20.5 with a Demarini CF6 32/21. The difference in pop was significant and immediate. Her usual pattern of contact resulting in mediocre ground balls, and the occasional hit to the OF grass, became hard ground balls, regular line drives much deeper in the grass, and the occasional shot getting to the fence.
I agree 100%. I will add that IMO, there is a greater disparity in performance between entry level composites and top end composites than OG Eastons and other top end composites.

My DD 3 has hit some in the park home runs (she is fast, and most of those were rec league and the other was against a C 12U TB team). All were with a borrowed CF 6. She got a CF 8 recently by pooling up money she got from XMas and her birthday (Jan 3), and she likes that one a lot better.

I knew I'd get blasted by at least one for that post, and that's ok.

Trust me when I say, I didn't blast you. As many long time members can attest to, when I go to the trouble of blasting a post and the poster, they go down in flames....badly and they usually feel like, as well as look like, an idiot. All I did was post my opinion on another post that you tried to make look bad. The poster's opinion was if the equipment is legal and helps the player achieve success then there's nothing wrong with using it. You had a different opinion and that's okay. That's what makes this forum great. We can all sit down and discuss things like grown-ups. At least most of us can.

I look forward to more of your best work. Nothing like a little mid-winter excitement to make spring come sooner.
