Quick opinions, please! CF7 vs CF6 Sprite

[CoachChristine]

I need to get dd8 a bat this week (I know I'm a procrastinator!). I can get the CF7 for $25 more than the CF6. So, considering performance and resale value, which way do you recommend I go? Her last team had a CF7 that we all went in on and shared, so I know she likes the bat. I'm just trying to decide what to do today .

I do not think she will notice a performance difference between the 2 bats but $25 more for a newer model and a bat you know your DD likes seems like a no brainer.

For $25, I would choose the CF7 simply because it's the newer model. As far as I'm aware, the performance is the same.

That's what I thought. I didn't know if there were any issues with the CF7 I was unaware of.

Thanks for the fast responses! She's going to be so excited when she sees it.

I would probably go with the newer CF7 model for the modest price increase but I do think the Sprite was the best bat in the CF6 line last year. Great light swinging bat with plenty of pop.

Doubt there is a performance difference but there most certainly will be come re-sale time. Get the CF7.

I bought the CF7. Considering she outgrew her last bat in seven months, I really had to consider the resale value. She seems to be fueling up for a growth spurt...she ate a 12" sub last night
