    Batting Helmet recomendation

    DD likes her Worth Liberty helmet. She says it fits more snug than the other helmets she tried.

    dd needs new bat any suggestions?

    Here as well. CF4's, Stealths, and Rockettechs are the most prevalent in this area.

    Any experiences with the CF5?

    Insane is -10 and endloaded CF5 Hope is -10 and balanced Regular CF5 comes in -8, -9, and -10 and is balanced. ‪DeMarini 2012 CF5 Fastpitch Bats‬‏ - YouTube

    Congrats, she'll love it. Be sure to report back.

    None yet. We did have some chipping on the CF4 but the CF5 is holding up great.

    Any experiences with the CF5?

    DD loves her CF5. She was reluctant at first to abandon her beloved CF4 but once I was able to convince her to make the switch, she hasn't looked back. Here's a pic of DD taken during her last game this summer preparing to do battle with her CF5:

    According to this video with Rick Matthews of DeMarini, the DeMarini's are made in the USA as well.

    I don't have any pics of DD hitting with her CF4 or CF5 right at the moment of contact. However, with the double-stacked design of these bats, I'd be shocked if they flexed as much as the pic shown of the Xeno. When DD's Xeno broke right at the connection point of the two pieces, I examined...

    Wow, no wonder my DD's broke after 75 hits.

    They should send you a 2012 model as a replacement.

    Emergency bat needed and I have no clue!

    You will not be disappointed. It's not a coincidence that most of the top teams in college softball use this same bat.

    If you're up to $200, go with the CF4. My DD is abouf the same size as yours and her CF4 outperforms any TPS bat she has tried, including the Xeno and Catalyst, the latter being the deadest bat she ever hit with.

    If money is an object, I recommend the TPS Mendoza as well. For you DD's size, I'd go with a 32" bat. Also, don't rule out getting a used bat if it's in good shape. I picked up an almost new CF4 Black for DD on eBay for $140 that she used for two seasons and it has been a great bat for her.

    Demarini CF5 Hope? Anyone got one of these?

    DD's loving her CF5 Hope. It seems to have more pop than her old CF4 Black. However, the CF4 has 1,000's of hits on it so it might be dying a bit.
