Would you see a problem In hitting tee balls with a composite bat? I wouldn't think so seeing how soft and forgiving they are. Never used baseball on the composite bats but we have hit them with an aluminum. When we do soft toss with baseballs It really seems to help her hand eye coordination In the games.

No problem there...but again, I would get a cheapy comp bat. But I am VERY protective of my gamer bats. You have to remember, even though its soft toss, you
are hitting hundreds of balls. Unless they were wiffles or foam, I would use a cheapy.

Nope, Ive already had the talk with my DD about only hitting actual game use softball with her composites. I see some younger kids In her league warming up by hitting the "hit stick" with their composites.......I dont say anything though. Its their parents money they will be wasting which Is none of my business.

Ive got an aluminum Easton that she can do drills with but Its weight and balance Is not very similar to her game bat. Do you have any suggestions for a cheap composite that will work instead of the aluminum? My thinking Is that If she Is practicing a lot with a bat that's feels different than her game bat, then It will take her time to get readjusted to the feel of the game bat. She Is currently swinging a 29/18 for games.

I honestly don't know. It was during a lesson with live pitching using softees. I think she got jammed a few times. I know she was bunting a few times. I couldn't believe it when she showed it to me even before the lesson was over.

So a few balls were hit up on the rubber?

Whatever you can find at play it again for cheap. Lol.
Or you could get a Easton mako and regrip the handle to take out the turning knob. Those are built like tanks.

There is another bat but it's not cheap it quite expensive and new that's like a log also but I will keep the name of it to myself since it's in Dd's bag. Lol

Yes, I believe so. Either that or she positioned her hand right on the CXN when bunting and somehow tore it. Easton customer service has been great and will be sending a replacement soon. DD still needs to get much better at barreling the ball on inside pitches.

Yeah I doubt It would be In the size Im looking for anyways and Im not looking for an expensive bat for what Itll be used for. So your DDs secret weapon Is safe for now. lol She can use her aluminum mako or Ill get a Pure from somewhere since they are relatively cheap. Its a shame they didn't make the 2017 Stealth Flex In a -11, they are pretty cheap and from what I can tell they are durable as well. My DDs bff who hits like a hoss has one and Its held up really nicely.
