Back in January I purchased a cheap used bat for my DD to use as a practice bat....It was the exact bat her sister used back in 2010/2011 a Mattingly Balistk. Once I handed her the bat it became her primary bat. She wouldn't use the other bats.
She came to me last week showing me an ebay ad for a Mattingly Balistk but a 32/22 she currently uses 31 inch bats. She is 12U. I asked her about the another bats since that one isn't made any more. Her reply was "I love my cheap bat". She saw her friend crack a bat and now she is worried about her beloved Mattingly Balistk. I paid 10 bucks for it.
I am looking for a bat or a category of bats that feel like the Mattinly Balistk
or
Is that bat being made under a different name?
Right now she is on a crazy hitting streak. She only been out once since she started using the bat. That out was a line drive to the pitcher and we are all happy the girl caught it...if not pain was coming.....so I know that is part of love for the bat....couple that with seeing pictures of her big sister posing with a bat that looks exactly like the one she has....well you see my issue
Any suggestions are appreciated
Her other bats she owns...and they are basically brand new. I don't want to add to the grave yard of bats......
AXE Anenge power grip 31/19 purchased new last October - used maybe 6 times at a bating cage
Combat Maxum 31/20 purchased new for Christmas - used one tournament for two games she struck out each time at bat---- switched to the practice bat, Mattingly Balistk, and haven't been out since.....well once......
Any suggestions are appreciated
oh and the ebay Mattingly Balistk is 100 bucks....I am having a hard time with $100 for a 10 year old bat.....
