So my daughter swings a 2016 AXE Danielle Lawrie bat and I have had a coach and a hitting instructor say there not a fan of the axe bats. Can anyone recommend a good bat for a good price? My daughter is swinging a 31/19 and she is 9. Any help is much appreciated!!

Hard to beat a LXT or CF9. Check EBay and play it again sports stores for good deals on used ones. I would also get to a -10 asap.

DD had a used bat for a while. It think it needs to find a new home this her but DD does not want to let it go.

I am a fan of used or previous year's models.

Not sure about ltx, which DD currently swings, but any CF model will be great.

Completely agree with JAD, get her swinging a -10 with this new bat purchase. The LXT & CF series are probably two of the lightest and most balanced -10 bats on the market.

Thank you for the information!! I just went online and there like $250-$350. Unfortunately that is a little out of my price range. Do you recommend anything cheaper but still a good bat?

A used Xeno, LXT or CF would work fine. You should be able to find a deal on Ebay or at a used sporting goods reseller. I would not spend a fortune on a bat because your DD will probably outgrow it in a year. Local softball message boards may have a buy/sell tab. Try Craigslist. If you know any players a year or two older than your DD ask them if they have any bats they have outgrown they would like to sell. My DD hit with hand-me-down bats for years.
