Definitely do a good job of breaking it in. As others have said, no machine balls, no heavies, and try to not use it below 50F. My daughter has had 4 Advanced plus a Double Barrel and has loved them all. Whenever we have to replace another bat, she's wanting a 2023 Double Barrel over the 2024...
Greetings! From MN (aka. Flyover Country), our daughter is starting her first year in 16U ball this fall, once she's fully healed from an arm injury. Looking forward to seeing if I can contribute anything and learning from others!
