    NIW compression tests and performance/durability

    Yet again, I am in the market for a new bat for my daughter. She is currently swinging a CF8 -10 and likes it, but she also really liked her 2015 Mako she had before moving up in bat size. She is really wanting to try the Rawlings Quatro, but I haven't been able to find too much feedback on...

    Trouble adjusting to live pitching

    Glad to see this post tonight! My DD is 8 and having to move up to 10U this fall, and we are in the prime time for Texas tryouts. The biggest obstacle I am worried about is the transition from machine pitch (which she can hit very well) to live pitching, and actual balls/strikes. She had a...

    8U bat dilemma

    eBay, and yes there are larger ones out there from same seller. I can get ou the info if you like. Came with a receipt for the warranty as well if needed. Bat it's great so far for her. I did find a Easton synergy speed srv4b for $99 tonight in a 29/19 and 30/20.... Thinking real hard about...

    Girls using illegal bats. Lawsuits?

    I would think assault charges would certainly be a possibility if it was an altered bat and the person who swung the bat knew it was altered. You see aggravated assault charges against drivers in some auto accidents depending on the circumstances (cell phone use, road rage, etc) and the extent...

    Girls using illegal bats. Lawsuits?

    Being a liability insurance manager, I can tell you that if you were caught causing bodily injury with an altered bat you would likely be found negligent. Negligence here would be: Duty owed - use and maintain safe, legal equipment. ( there are rules on this, so ignoring the rules for a...

    8U bat dilemma

    They use normal compression balls. Thanks for The replies so far. I am looking for lessons currently as she is off for August given how hot it is in TX. Hope to find something soon in North Dallas area.

    8U bat dilemma

    Researching new bats for my daughter who just joined a tournament team. She will be 8 in December, and she is about 4'2 65lbs. I am looking for a -11 bat, so the options for a decent bat are somewhat limited. She borrowed a teammates CF5 (28/17) at a tourney this weekend and hit it well...
