DeMarini bat issue

Definitely 31/21 seems small for a Junior in HS. You also have to remember, when you outgrow a bat, performance wont be there
either. You are getting stronger but the bat is too light and short. You are swinging faster and stronger, but
the bat doesn't have the right mass behind it to get results. So its not producing like it was when the bat fit
you. So this could be the problem as well.

I'm definitely getting at least one new bat here soon. I also have a back up bat but its the same size as my DeMarini Defiance. There's I think 6 different models I'm looking at. Would I be better off going to a 32 inch or am I better off with a 33? I know I'm definitely leaning either the DeMarini CF9 Hope or the Easton Ghost or a Louisville Slugger Xeno or their new line.

You have to kinda play with 32 and 33 to see what fits better. You don't wanna go too heavy either. Maybe try
a teammates bats and see which bat feel good to you. I'm sure there are 32 and 33s on the team that they
would let you try out.

If the 32 still feels borderline too light, I would go 33 because if the 32 feels a little light already, you are gonna outgrow that
one fast.

I you pick a ghost, I can help you on price a lot

I was just at the indoor batting cages with a couple of teammates from my travel team and my high school team. I got to swing a 32 inch Xeno and I liked it but I loved my high school teammate's Ghost. I'm buying hers since she's going to college and isn't continuing her softball career. Her last game is this coming Sunday. So I'll be getting that Monday. I also ordered the DeMarini Hope. I'm hoping its a good bat. Should be. I liked my other DeMarini.
