No apology necessary at all. I was rather shocked into disbelief when I read my email from Worth that their best one piece would now be a -12.5, so any confusion is quite understandable. ;)
Not entirely true as they will not be offering a direct replacement to the one piece Legit. My daughter prefers the feel of a stiffer one piece, but the "top of the line" Rawlings (Aspire), will only come in -12.5. So my daughter who swings a 34/25 (fpl109) is SOL.
This is bothersome. My daughter much prefers the feel of one piece bats, and to me the physics makes more sense too (rather get hit with a steel pipe or a foam pool noodle?). Her last three bats have all been Worth one piece composites, and there will not be a direct replacement for her current...
I'm with you here. All I've seen for bat whip pictures are pictures of the bat head trailing due to flex in the handle. The only way I can see actual whip action being generated is if at the moment of contact when your hands slow down due to the impact force, the stored energy in the handle...
My 14U daughter plays SS almost exclusively and will not wear one. Two weeks ago took a one hopper to the face and ended up with a nice black eye. Still won't wear one. Although she will when she fills in at 3rd under game situations.
Had a girl on her 12U little league team two years ago...
