If you had to choose 1 bat to make your 14u daughter go from doubles to HR's which bat would you chose and why? I'm trying to get different opinions before I buy her one. Thanks!

18' Easton Ghost
18' Louisville LXT
18' DeMarini CFX
18' Rawlings Quatro

My girls own them all. They keep going back to the LXT. The Ghost pop is insane but the LXT is equal and has a better "feel" according to them.

Personally the ghost is so hot I cant hit fungo with it lol.

And most people will say go with what feels good in their hands as all those bats are compare able. Id agree with that advice.

I wouldn't choose any for her. She's 14, take her out to your local sporting goods store and have her try them out. Those bats are all hot and can be used by anyone to hit dingers with a good swing of course. My oldest DD prefers her 14' CF6 and also carries a 16' and 17' LXT in her bag. Why? They were gifts. She works out 4x a week and hits 5 for sure. Guarantee you it's not just her bat. BTW, if you find a gently used CF6 at a good price let me know lol. What does your DD use now?

She uses a CF5 -10 or a 16' Easton Mako -11

If she is really pounding out doubles on a consistent bases the odds are very high getting her to HRs is not going to be a function of the bat....just sayin

but to answer the question whichever one she feels the best swinging they are all great bats and which one she feels the best swinging mentally should work best...now as far as hitting HRs maybe post a swing or two and let's see where we can squeeze those few extra feet out of her swing.

I'm not worried about the HR's I was kidding even though it would be cool. I love her hitting doubles. I'm just looking for a top of the line bat for her to start and finish high school with. Just wanting opinions, thanks.

Love the CF5! I used it for Mens FP. I know what you mean but it is very cool when they start hitting bombs. That'll come if she's hitting gappers

Correct me if Im wrong but Im told the high end bats are great for a 1000 hits then its hit and miss how long they last.

All of the bats you listed are top of the line bats. "Better" will be only a matter of her personal preference.
