Cold Weather Bat Recommendations

[STRIKE3]

Looking to add a non-composite bat into the arsenal for the early morning/late evening games when the temperature is too cold to hit the composites.

Any recommendations?

Also, adding a SECOND question here....What length bat would you recommend for a 14U, 5'7", 125lb ish player? All the bat guides I have followed for years puts her in a 33" which has been our last couple of bats and just want to be sure that is what others would do as well.

Thanks,
S3

Anderson Rocketech seem to be the most popular. Or do what I did and get a used composite for those games...

Rocketech aluminum bats are a good choice, but to be honest we usually just use our BP bat, which is last years composite. It if breaks, so be it....

Another good alternative to the Rocketech is the Nanotech. It's a more balanced -10 if the end loaded -9 RT is too much to handle...

This is what I'm planning to do. Her CF4 is the same size as her CF8, still a good bat, and was $60 when we got it used a year and a half ago. Feels way less tragic to risk that one breaking than her new one.

2pc. Anderson Nanotek. Sold my DD's a few weeks ago and now regret it !!

Not exactly what you're asking about, but I think it's a great addition for BP:

Beat me to it! Remember, wood bats are allowed in fastpitch!

One-piece Easton composites are what I see quite a bit of when I go scouting in northern places.
