Needing some advice on what bat to get my 12u girl. She was a power hitter on the right side but currently in the transition of switching to left handed batting as well as slapping. Can't decide between Louisville LTX or Zeno? Or the demarini cf9? All input/advice is greatly appreciated!

My 12U DD likes the CF9 (-11) and is also learning the left side. She had a CF8 last year and says the CF9 feels better. Tried out the LXT, but came back to the Demarini. She likes a balanced feel, so the Xeno was not an option.
Watching her workouts, the ball really seems to jump off the CF9. Don't think the bat really matters working on the right or left, mine is doing the same and has no issues with drag bunts and slaps.

Every battle you mentioned our good bats, more about feEl.
Even she slapping, over fence first then pull it back

It was a debate we had but ultimately I feel she's a decent power hitter right now because she's more advanced then most girls on her team. but as we continue these AAU games and the other girls are catching up she's becoming a more average hitter. Last year we worked on left handed hitting and slapping which she was getting but of course we had the bad at bats and I think that really got to her. So I told her this year she needs to commit to one or the other and focus on that. Her speed and knowledge of picking apart a defensive is a big part in why I want her to go left but I want her to be a triple threat lefty!
Have at it lefty but I think over the fence is first an pull in.
