Haven't bought one yet,but its coming. She likes the 31/21 LXT.

Go for it!

My DD is 10yo 4'7 79lbs so she's near your DD's size. We just received our 2015 30/20 LXT from Softball.com (funny) at $199 as well + $12 2-Day shipping. She really loves the bat and the "glass crack" type of sound on contact. She says the bat feels better compared to her Miken Halo 30/17.5, but on the scale it weighed 18.5oz. The LXT arrived and on the scale it was + .5 oz so I guess her bat is 30/20.5 but we don't care.

As far as the weight jump from -12.5 to -10 she says the bat feels heavier but better so I asked her what that meant to her. After asking some other questions she settled on that the added weight made her feel like she can hit the ball much harder. I noticed at the tee station I was running her balance was definitely off but it cleared up and so far so good. I didn't see any drop in swing speed but only a radar gun could give a hint at the ball exit speed between the two bats, I think. This was on Friday, so 2 days ago was her first day hitting with the LXT. We're very happy with the bat and looking forward to seeing if DD can put it to it's potential this spring, it's also a solid looking bat that screams "I HIT."
