    33/23 2011 Xeno new in wrapper

    Thanks.....I am asking because my DD had the 2011 and was just killing the ball. She then had the same bat in 2012 model and the bat just didnt seem as formidable as the original 2011.

    33/23 2011 Xeno new in wrapper

    Is the 2011 superior to all the newer (12,13,14,15) Xenos? I know 2011 was the first year of production. Are the newer models not as hot as the original?

    2013 Rocketflex Review

    Amazing the amount of money we spend on bats. The shame of it is; if she doesn't like it then we lose. I have lost more times than I have won. I wish the batting cages would have every bat for them to try to help make the right choice the first time. My girls are now Xeno girls and I do not...

    Yet another bat question. Xeno vs. CF5 vs. ???

    crazy travel necessary?

    Well Hello to the world of hell. If you are dedicating that much time and energy and dealing with all the psycho parents, coaches, umpires and snot nose kids; then you do get money off your tuition and now the college coach owns your rear. When all is said and done, yes you saved a few bucks...

    noise

    Why are girls taught to yell all game? Coaches teach this rude annoying behavior. I always taught the girls to play hard and win with good play. If the other team makes more mistakes then us then we played better and deserved to win.period. The young girls want to sing little songs and yell n...

    Demarini cf4 vs. Louisville tpx xeno

    XENO. My daughter has been using the cf4 for the past 2 years, with much success. She switched to the xeno, after we have been seeing girls perform well with them. We decided to buy her one, and as good as the cf4 is the xeno isn't a little better it's a lot better. The ball screams off this...

    2011 Louisville -10 Xeno Composite Fastpitch

    The results are in. My DD loves the xeno. The cf4 will remain in her batbag as she uses her xeno. They are both 32/22 but she says the xeno feels a little heavier and she states the ball comes off the bat much harder. I was there to witness the diff. she's an 8th grader on Varsity and her first...

    2011 Louisville -10 Xeno Composite Fastpitch

    received the xeno in a 32/22 last night. DD is currently using cf4 32/22. she wanted to try the xeno so we picked up a slightly used one for $200 on ebay. DD tried both off the tee last night to see the diff.. She loved the xeno, hit bombs off the tee. She is going to use it in the next few...

    11 Year Old Video

    Looks like a huge step. I seem to notice because of the step you can see her head drop lower, actually changing her look at the ball during the delivery of the ball. Her head goes up/down and back up again. I teach my kids to lift the front leg and put it down where you picked it up from. The...

    Mikan Rain Lite vs Easton Synge

    My dd used the miken -12 halo and the combat fernandez -12 last year. She was 11 and they are 31" bats. It helped her to use the lite bat. I believe it was in her head, but it helped her confidence. Both bats have nice pop. But for distance she is moving up to a 31/21 balanced bat this year...

    Rocketech vs techzilla

    Hello all, Has anyone tried Anderson Techzilla. I keep hearing about the Rocketech. I am reluctant to buy one because my dd to date has preferred a balanced bat. she uses a demarini cf4 32/22. I want to get her a aluminum bat for the cold days. a girl on her team has a rocketech and the bat...

    Using pitching machine balls for game play

    We use regular 11" balls at around 33 mph. we give them 5 pitches, or 3 swinging strikes whichever come first. If on the 5th swing they foul one off they will get another. If a ball comes out really offline we may give them an extra one. By 5 pitches most kids will hit it. Use regular balls...

    what size of bat?

    I have been there. Kids showing up with bats too big. I try to talk them into using a bat that is suited for their size. Leave the bat sizing chart in your bag to show these kids and their parents. They usually do not listen until they fail....it may take a few games of bad at bats before they...

    help me choose my next weapon of destruction?

    My oldest DD is also exactly 5'7" and 143 lbs. She is using the Demarini CF4 32/22. She kills the ball and loves the bat. She is in 8th grade. I sized the bat from the ground to her wrist, and this bat fits her perfect. Her wingspan is longer than her height. {a trait she gets from me..long...

    DeMarini Phenix vs DeMarini CF4 ST

    I just went through a similar scenario with my 13 yr old DD. She is big 5' 7" 135 lbs. Was using a 31/21 Miken and hitting awsome with it, but never got it over the 200' fence. I heard a lot of different ppl suggestions. Did not know which way to go, so I bought a few bats and had her try them...
