People post stuff like that just so people can respond with "Wow, your kid works so hard"...

half the time the mechanics are poor at best.

We just had a teammate post the ole "I'm out here taking batting practice in the snow" picture. The reactions were a mix of "Wow, your working so hard," and "Go in the house moron."
If I told my daughters to go hit in the snow so we could get a pic, they would both call me moron long before the internet got a chance.
There's probably a higher-than-normal manufacturing failure rate with some of these hotter bats.
Typically, we only hear about the broken ones. I've seen more failing Ghosts than anything else, but the main problem seems to be the joint.
However, to the people who talk about their DD breaking multiple bats, I'll say that something about the user is probably contributing, and I'm not talking about just hitting a softball. Show me a failing end-cap, and I can probably show you a bunch of metal cleat marks.
I've not personally seen a new bat fail either with DD or her team. I'm talking about a period of several years. Some fully grown "country strong" girls there as well. Some of their bats are beat to hell, and many use them with machine-fired dimple balls, and I've never seen one break.
