Need to replace the ROCKETECH

We are just about at the end of the road with the ROCKETECH -9/33". DGD Thought she wanted to replace it with the DeMarini 2014 CF6 Insane. She used it for three months ( games and live pitching only ) and it went dead. Sent it back and apparently it was cracked and got a replacement . Now she won't touch it ( OUCH $$$ ), doesn't feel right. She is a big ( athletic ) strong 14 yr.old,(5'9", 150). Her bat speed w/ROCKETECH has been gunned as the fastest on the team . She knows she can't replace the bat with another ANDERSON. Looking for some direction as to the best choice of the end loaded bats or any other suggestions.

NIW SRV4B with USSA stamp.

NIW Easton Synergy Speed SRV4B 32 22 ASA USSSA Softball Bat SRV4B Hot w Receipt | eBay

I have 05 RT and SRV4B. You will not be disappointed.

Find a -9 in something she might like. CF6 or Easton.

The Anderson Rocketflex is the closest in feel to the Rocketech without being a RT.

DD was a metalhead for the past three years. 15 YO now at 5'9' 165 lbs. She is now swinging a Worth 454 sick 34/25. It's been a great bat for her so far and very inexpensive NIW since they quit making it. Swing speed is averaging low 70's and has hit as high as 78 mph with it. The only recommendation I can make is your DD will either love it or hate it since a mishit will definitely hurt....not as much as an Anderson though The Mizuno Whiteout is the only other option DD considered on keeping when switching besides the Worth. PM me if you have any questions since DD tried just about everything out there.

Yo - did she ever try the RF? That would be my DD's choice even over a RT if she had her druthers

DD has swung the RF for the last two years. I bought her a brand new one for HS ball games so she could use the boat oar in practice. She broke the old one at the handle about 4 months ago. Since then, I have bought and returned numerous bats because of them being too light, too much vibration or too evenly balanced for her. She decided to keep the 2014 Xeno 34/25 along with her RF. Then I found the Worth Sick 34/25 at a great price ($120 NIW). Since that time, those two have stayed in the bag and she has transitioned to the Worth exclusively. Like the older Eastons, it has continued to get hotter with more hits put on it. She has tried the Mizuno Whiteout and has since put that in the bag to replace the Xeno. Now the Mizuno is getting a workout occasionally but she continues with the Worth as her Primary since it seems to be hotter (maybe because the Mizuno isn't completely broken in yet). The Xeno has been sold and I replaced it with another Sick for the same price as the previous one. Yeah...I know... I'm an addict

Edit to Add: She's really hoping she stays true to form and destroys one of her Sicks in 6 months or so (although I doubt it with this one). She is really looking forward to hitting the new 2Legit which could be a very good possibility of a replacement for her Sick since they no longer manufacture it. The only problem I can see is they don't make it in a -9 yet. Of course, I told coresoftball20 to let me know when they come out so I can buy one.

Why exactly are you wanting to replace the RT? What year is it?

I'm kinda confused by the OP too. He wants to find "another" replacement like the RT? The RT is unique, in its feel, real time weight, and pop. My DD has used the RT since 05, when it was very unpopular. I've swung 100 bats, legal and illegal, the RT in the right hands is a beast.

Why can't she get another RT? By the way, she and I are the same size.
