Do you think others havent used all kinds of bats as well. You post your pics of a couple bats...there are parents that have 50 bats
sitting around or have had that many.
Your experience is OPINION as well as anybody else's. So you are a LS fan, its all good
and its good your dd found the bat that fits her style/feel/swing...etc.
Just like you have people that will stand by Easton...doesnt mean they havent tried all bats and formed their own
conclusions from their "experience". From Guru's experience, Ghosts perform better than anythign he has used.

There are also girls that will hit a certain bat better...no matter what. What one girl thinks is great, another wont hit as good with
and vice versa. Its a science most will never understand :)
If anybody has 50 bats sitting around IMO they are grasping at straws. Either your DD can hit or she cant. Good hitters can hit with any bat. Its not the arrow, its the Indian. I think buying bats for your DD like they are samplers might also erode her confidence. Its like saying, "here Jenny, look what daddy got you, try this one. Maybe, just maybe you can hit with this one." Then you get into switching bats mid game/tourney because this bat isn't working and you're putting trust is the bat and not your swing.
That being said, DD swings a ghost. Next closest bat she has swung to compare with ghost was the 2016 Xeno that sounded like glass breaking. And they are still around $300 if you can find one.

Not grasping...sometimes dad's like to just buy bats. Lots of dads just like to play around and see whats out there.

Sometimes I dont think it has anything to do with the kid...haha.
As odd as it may sound to some, this is so true. Some people (most likely dads in this case) are just equipment junkies. Same with golf clubs, bowling balls, etc...

I get that, but maybe they should consider the message they might be sending to their DD. Also guys that buy new golf clubs all the time are more often than not shitty golfers. Just an observation.

You are missing the point of what some are saying...some dads arent about buying bats because their dd's are bad or because they need help. Some just like to try out the new bats in BP and see whats up. Its a day out on the field for fun between the
two and they hit some balls. Has nothing to do with anything world changing.
Just like I willl do...new bat comes in and I go out and hit some BP...im not looking to change anything I do...im just
hitting a new bat and secondly, getting more swings in.

We arent talking about the dads "trying" to put a new bat in their dd's hands because they think that the next new
bat will be the thing that makes her hit better.

I am pushing 200 bats in my closet...75% of those bats have one round of BP on them or so. Its just an excuse to
go hit some balls and try a new bat...haha
