Hello DFP family. I'm looking for some help. My DD is a baseball player that's most likely going to try softball this season. She's played travel baseball at the higher levels for a long time now and is a very strong power hitter. She's used a -3 bat since she was 11. Coming to softball, she has an issue with the light bats. Currently she swings an end loaded 32" -3 bbcor baseball bat, and hits with power (even for the boys). I'm looking for the heaviest softball bat that's end loaded. Obviously this is a -8. However, what's going to be more end loaded? I'm looking at closeoutbats.com and there are some good deals on -8 bats. The only one that says it's end loaded is the CF8 Demarini. She's mostly used Easton and Demarini in baseball, but we hold no loyalty.
I'm also curious about 33" vs 34". She's around 5'8". I know nothing about how lengths work with softball. She's still in the 32" range with baseball and would probably stay there. Would a 34" be better for a girl her height, or stick with the 33"?
I also know there was a gent here on the site that sold bats, but I know there were some troubles with the business. I visit the site every few months, enjoy reading the batting threads and would enjoy buying "local" if it's possible.
