I second this answer.
Do not buy a bat unless you have swung it or swung bats within the same size/weight of a manufacturer!
DD had a 30/18 Vendetta which was light and I bought an Easton SVR4B 30/20 thinking that would be appropriate and to my surprise it actually weighs 22 oz! It is a tank...
Go to the Demarini website and find a local dealer and try them out. All bats that are within the same model/s of a manufacturer feel differently.
Our friend has a 29/18 CF5 (the light blue one, weighed 18.5 oz) which felt a little end loaded vs. the new CF6 30/19 (weighed 18.5 oz) which swung...
Agree. My DD is 11 yo 4-7 and 65 lbs and cannot swing a drop -10. We had -12 and have now transitioned to -11. I am currently only buying Demarini until she fills out and can swing a heavier bat.
Buy her a used bat. I just bought a used CF5 drop -11 for $140. It will likely last a year and then I"ll resell for $75-100.
There is absolutely no comparison between the Vendetta and CF5 especially at 12U. I bought a niw Vendetta last year from Amazon for $105.
Found this on youtube and me being new to trying to understand the swing thought it was quite helpful.

I would be interested in anyone's thoughts/comments.
Thanks.
That's what I thought. You want to alert the blue before the first pitch of the next batter.
Last weekend this happened. We knew the other team was batting out of order and I kept telling our manager to call time before the first pitch of the following batter. He did not, he waited to...
Thanks everyone.
We played a team last weekend who had players run extra bases after being called out. I don't think they did this with runners on, but I know at no point did we think they were a live runner.
I'm going to put this in my little sheet in case it comes up.
I have a question regarding the following:
B2 is supposed to be up, but B3 comes up and walks. B4 comes up and a pitch is thrown. Is B2 out or just skipped until the next time around?
Here is the ASA rule (Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)) :
Section D[3] Addresses batting out...
Said 50% off but I paid $81 with tax no shipping.
I bought 2. I know someone who bought one. Said it worked fine. Once I get them I'll look at them more closely and maybe sell the bownet which I just bought. Also have a jugs. Wife doesn't want to know.
I would pick the best team for your DD and work around their schedule. If they only practice once a week then you need to find a way for her to practice on other days. Work on her weaknesses! Since we joined a travel team I saw my DD's flaws and work as often as possible on off days to fix them.
