From a used sporting goods store. All I will have is the inspection. I think I will have 3 days to return used equipment, so I will check it out fast.

Be wary of products sold at the Big Box stores. They rarely have the top of the line bats. I would go to a mom and pop store first that focuses on baseball/softball.

I have a gently/hardly used CF6 32"-10 in the garage gathering dust. $75. DD used it in a few games until the LXT purchase. I had a real bad case of (GAS)Gear Acquisition Syndrome that year.

That is bat we got from JAD. :) DD loved that bat, if it fits your DD I would jump on this.

We have play it again sports here and I occasionally look at their bats. Like paintings you can find a great deal occasionally but mostly I find them overpriced.

Rarely do I find composites at Play It Again Sports. I lucked onto one two years ago, but nothing that suits my DDs since.

I don't remember the size my DDs use. I will ask them after school. Thanks.

Knowing the size and weight of your DD's bat should be one of the things that you rattle off in your sleep. I can name off every brand, every size and weight of each bat my kid used since 8U. As they grow, it's a cat and mouse game of when to jump up in size and when to stay down.

OCD maybe?????
