DD, 2007 player, just started travel this year. trying to help her hitting, acquired a used 30/20 LS XENO for a really good price. she used it in hitting practice one day, ball popped off bat much faster, sounded good, so I bought it (was on loan/test drive for one practice). Guy who brokered deal did me a favor. Prolem is, DD does not want to use it. Grip tape wrong, doesn't feel right, etc. Bat is one ounce heavier than what she had been using (Worth eclipse 30/19 composite, handed down from older DD), but real issue is she does not like to change.
same issue with glove, oldeer DD moved up to bigger glove last year, passed down a broken in 12.5 inch to younger DD (she was using 11.5 inch, $15 Walmart special, so broken in it feels like a piece of felt). really time for her to move up to this, but refuses.
basically hates new gear (although she really took to team helmet when she joined this travel team shockingly). I thought she would like this bat, as it is what about half the girls on her new travel team have, and would help her fit in (she is still waiting on her practice shirts, she joined team late).
Help, I know it will help her hitting (I know it will not make huge difference, just looking to add a little more pop when ball leaves her bat), but only if I can get her to use it!
