Do you get free/reduced prices on equipment if you have to use certain sponsor gear?DD's new team is Wilson-only gear. This means she will have to give up her beloved 2020 Ghost. She strongly dislikes the LS sound, and has used Demarini before. At first glance, a -9 Prism might be a good fit for her, but I'm not seeing that the -9s are available yet. In a couple of weeks, she will have a chance to take some test swings with different models before she makes her decision.
Our new team is sponsored by Easton but you can use any gear you choose.
Like you mentioned she may like the Demarini hollow sound of CF series or maybe Prism. If she gives the LXT/Xeno a fair shake she might warm-up to those as well.
I personally hate the sound of the 16 Xeno. Sounds like broken glass real bad. We have 17, 18, & 19 Xeno’s and they have much more subdued sounds. Still distinct and hard to describe but not as “glass shattering” as older bats.
I just purchased 2020 Ghost based on all the positive reviews. Almost bought 2020 Prism as well but daughter wants LXT. Of course I just saw 1st pics of 2020 Ghost that cracked along the barrel. It makes sense though. 2018 had cracking issues and 2020 is made out of same composite.
