My DD is currently using an Easton Mystique aluminum bat (31/-11.5). Her current bat has a BPF of 1.20. We were planning on purchasing an Easton Synge composite bat when she moved up to a 32 inch bat this winter. The Easton Synge also has a BPF of 1.20. From what I've read, all fastpitch bats are limited to a BPF of 1.20. If the BPF is the same, can a bat be "hotter"? I don't mind spending the extra money for the Synge, but would like to know I'm actually getting something extra for it. Unfortunately, no one on her fall ball team is using a Synge so she can't try one out in batting practice. Thanks for any insight you can give on this.
