    What were your impressions of the 2019 DeMarini Carbon Candy composite bat?

    Daughter has the 2019 Carbon Candy. It’s her backup bat. She hasn’t used it much, but has had some decent hits. It’s very balanced and like all DeMarinis true to weight. Her teammates used it and had some good hits during HS season. It’s not junk, but worth $100-$150. Sent from my iPhone...

    Very Subjective Question

    Slugger seems to make the most “forgiving” bats in my experience. My daughter favored DeMarinis over the years, but for the past year has gone over to a 2019 Xeno. Sge has a very successful HS season using the Xeno exclusively. She struggled a little yesterday in our first travel tourney of the...

    That is a wrap!

    My DD dealt with this last year as a Freshman. HS team was full of TB players, every single girl was at least a solid softball player. My daughter got a few opportunities to hit, but it was always “perform NOW or you may not get another shot” type scenario. She hated it, her Mom ad and I hated...

    2020 Demarini Prism owner's discussion

    The Xeno is still a great all-around bat. There’s a lot of Wilson/Slugger/DeMarini hate here (and I get it), but it’s still a great bat for a wide range of players. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2020 Ghost Advanced

    Why they gotta tease us then keep everyone in the dark for 4 months? [emoji1] I’ve already got to wait on feedback on the 2020 Ghost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2020 Ghost...Due out June 10'ish

    I’m having a hard time believing that Easton would mess up a good thing too much. -10 not being the same as the -10 ASA bat from the last couple of years seems like and odd choice. -10 seems to be the most common weight by far. I know several power hitters that stick with a drop 10 (HS age)...

    What is the goal of HS varsity softball?

    This is true. We had to temper our expectations a lot. My DD’s HS team is not good at all, for a variety of reasons. The thing is, there are a LOT of very good HS teams in our area and region, and it’s hard to swallow that we get run-ruled more than we win. However, she is getting to play 100%...

    LS RXT

    Sounds like they were bleeping out the name of the bat, not dropping the F-bomb. Sure, it’s suggestive, but they weren’t cursing. Not sure how old your DD is, but from Middle School and up, I’ve heard language and discussion from softball players that would peel the paint off the walls...

    2020 Ghost...Due out June 10'ish

    Haha, I get that, but thought there may be a statement out or update with the new specs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2020 Ghost...Due out June 10'ish

    I’ve seen it stated by Core and others that USSSA has adopted the ASA bat specs for 2019, hence the Ghost and Prism now having dual stamps. Is there anything out there to confirm this? I’ve got people already stating they won’t buy a 2020 because it won’t be as hot. Sent from my iPhone using...

    LS RXT

    My daughter’s Xeno hasn’t chipped like some others I’ve seen. We do keep it in her bag unless it’s out for practice or games. And she definitely uses it, in addition to 2-3 of her teammates. It’s about 8-9 months old and still looks decent. Minus a cleat mark or two and a scuffed endcap. One...

    LS RXT

    The PXT was definitely not a well-received bat. I think I’ve seen like 1 around here in tournaments. There is still a pretty solid LS following in our area. I see a lot more LXT’s now than even Xenos, but there are still a lot of Xenos. The Ghost is REALLY popular here, but every single...

    2020 Louisville x20 coming june 6

    I like the color scheme on the LXT as well. Matches my DD’s HS colors. That said, she already informed me she likes the feel of her Xeno better and she’s not trying the LXT this year. She did have one for the 2018 season. I’m pretty sure the PXT is not in the X20 lineup. Sent from my iPhone...

    LS RXT

    As long as it’s not a re-badged PXT, it could be a good bat. All hate for the parent brand aside, Slugger still makes some great ones. Will be interesting to see how it’s made and how it performs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Florida is swinging the 2020 Ghost

    My daughter had the first year Flex and it was a hot little bat. This was right before the Ghost came out and Easton became the in-bat. She had some great hits with the Flex. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bat for Summer season

    No worries. I am a member of a few forums with some folks that jump on anything you post. [emoji1] Might be too sensitive these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bat for Summer season

    Not sure if that was aimed at this thread or not, but...I have a sort of in-between power hitter, (not a HR every at-bat type), hence my lengthy explanation. She has hit the Quatros, she doesn’t like the feel of any of them. I have read the other threads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bat for Summer season

    That’s our big problem; even though we live in a big softball area, there are no places to try out bats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
