    Default looking for bats advice needed

    We have narrow the choice down to about 3 looking for some opinions on the bats below

    2012 easton synge
    2011 miken mv-3
    2012-13 demarini cf5


    she has hit with the easton and the ball seemed to explode off the bat. she has not had a chance to use the others.
    she would be useing a -10 -11 drop bat
    thanks in advance

    Cf5 have great reps for big pop.
    I have had lots a girls with synges, IMO aluminum bats have more pop.
    MV-3....I don't know anything about them, have never even seen a girl play with one. I do like miken bats, dd newest stick is a freak, but figuring anything out about the difference in miken bat is impossible. When I called their reps for advice on their bats, they were no help what so ever.

    synge is -11.5 i think
    mv-3 is -10 (there are some -12)
    -13 demarini

    bigger bat hits it harder. cf5's are very popular in -10 & -9
    i have used mv-3 and found it a very hot bat, barrel configuation is set a bit for big hitters with little bit of end load

    the best one is probably either the prettiest or the one she beleives in best..............

    My DD was using a synge and hitting pretty good with it, but switching to the CF5 it is on a whole nother level.

    From a different site the Worth 454. Many colleges are using it for a reason. Most of my kids I work with have Demarini's but my dd will be using a Nike in college. Have not tried the Worth yet, but the feedback has been very good from players.

    I haven't heard anything about the Miken MV-3. However, Miken does have a good reputation and DD did like her Miken Halo light very much.

    To be honest, I haven't heard many good things about the synge. Not very strong, not great pop.

    I've heard a lot of good things about the cf5 and I've seen a lot of girls hit the heck out of the ball with it.

    So from my perspective, I would choose the cf5 out of those three bats.
