End Loaded bat discussion

What End Loaded bat is in you DD's bag? Our 05 RT and SRV4B are at end of life now...we cant seem to find anything yet to replace...she likes them long and heavy.

Have you found a balanced bat that swings like an endloaded? Her 34 -9 LXT (she is 5'9 145) swings to light, gave to DD#1.

Greenmonster has recommended at Rocketflex, but havent found one to try yet...but is on my shortlist.

I would like it to have a USSSA stamp, so the newer bats if possible.

Why not a newer RT or if she swinging 34 inches look at slow pitch bats.

Oh, and us....same, she has a RT, 2 srv4b, a scn4b, an insane...and some balanced bats. She got used to her 33/24 lxt and that's what she usually uses now...even though she often practices with a 33/30 wood bat.

I think a lot of women like the demarini mercy and demarini one slow pitch bats

Has she tried the drop 8 or 9 Mako? Our 33-9 weighed close to 26 oz and was end loaded.

@RHC, I wonder what the performance would be with a 60+mph fastball, curious what "designed for female slowpitch players" means...huh..

Many bigger college girls use slowpitch bats. I only have fastpitch balls now, and our Miken recoil has more pop than any other bat we own.
"Designed for female"....it comes in 25 and 26 oz, I believe men are not allowed to use less than 26...most use 28-30, and it is in girly colors.

Moe. Slowpitch balls are lower core, so IF..which I don't believe...IF the chinese factories mass produced slow pitch bats differently, in theory they would have MORE pop on a higher core fp ball than a fp bat. Coresb probably has better info. But without a doubt my Miken sb has more pop than any fp bat we have. It's 27oz swings almost identical weight to dd's 24oz RT.

Maybe because there is no such animal. Any indication of Men's, Women's, Fastpitch, Slowpitch, etc. on the bat is purely a manufacturer's designation and has absolutely no bearing on legality or ability to use in any particular ball game.

Yes, there are leagues which outlaw one or another in either game, but there is zero, nil, zip, nada, no information or data or even a slight indication there is any difference whatsoever. They all test the same

...from the ump (mtr)

Back to fastpitch...I know crankermo said his dd really likes her -8 cf6.

RHC can u use slow pitch bats in fastpitch? What is the difference? What is the advantage in using a load end bat?
Thanks!

Yes, see the quote from mtr. As long as it has the stamp for the particular association, yes. That said, usssa might be different.

I know we were talking about before....I think it was Arizona's #4 and #5 hitters were using an Easton Salvo last year.

Year before last I saw a lot of demarini ONE on ESPN games
