iddave,
I talked with Cassie at Marucci and she sent my team 3 bats to tryout for 2 weeks (sent them back last week). The general feeling of the girls on my team (12U) is that they felt fine and were comparable to the DeMarini's and Mako's other teammates have, not better, but comparable. We were in a tight indoor space, so I can't speak to how the hits looked. Bat speeds were comparable. Bat exit speeds were a little lower, but not much (the other bats have many more hits on them). My girls were very into appearance and they like the "ice" look of the -11 bat, but didn't care for the plain look of the -10. Our 14U team tried them. Feedback was the didn't like the feel at contact as much as the DeMarini's, LXTs and Xenos they have.
Cassie was great to work with and very interested in the feedback. She is also willing to give a good team discount.
Hope that helps.

I don't remember but DD loves Lizard grips so we always replace the grip anyway.. She rarely uses gloves anymore so I guess it's just her preference.

Very hot bat. My daughter loves it. Hit 2 dingers last weekend. Great pop. She swings the 34" drop 10 Pure. I am becoming a rep we like it so much.
Follow-up....
It's been a little over a month now, and I like the bat better and better each day. it weighs 20.4 ounces (30/20 sticker), and has en ever-so-slightly end-loaded feel. It seems to have at least as much pop as her teammates Makos and CF8s, and my 9 yo DD is pounding the snot out of the ball with it.
Very few complaints of hand-stinging, and just enough different to be considered "cool".
