Also nice if you have all your perspective bats available to try at once. Makes it that much easier.I guess you would have to try everything if all you get is I don’t like it. What if she likes 3/4 bats do you buy them all?

Have you considered older Demarini’s? There are a few sites that still have CF8’s 9’s? Not a Demarini fan don’t like the hollow feel/soound.That part was pretty cool. Her team had the full lineup of the new Demarini and LS bats available, in all the sizes they could possibly need...and a Wilson product rep to recite phrases from the marketing materials .
I mentioned before that my DD had only Demaini to choose from because she refuses to use an LS. Why? Sound. She can't stand the LS sound. The Prism - "feels weird". The CF - "I don't like it". The FNX - "pretty good, but not my Ghost". She then spent time deciding between a 33/24 or a 34/24, and picked the 34. Her final decision isn't at all what I anticipated, in model or size. My opinion is irrelevant. It's not my decision to make. An order for a 34/24 FNX has been placed.

It’s too bad about the Sluggers. Like your daughter I can’t stand older Xeno sound. I like 17’s LXT & Xeno’s and up. Very distinctive but not so broken glass sounding.
Have your daughter wear ear plugs and give Slugger a shot!!! Sometimes that’s all it takes is to get a couple of swings with a previously hated bat to convert someone.
I know it’s all about her and she knows what she likes. But just consider the possibilities.......
I just converted a girl that used to do great with a Xeno a couple of years ago and for some reason switched to a CF.
Back using the Xeno with much more consistency. I think sometimes too many choices is worse than not enough choices.
My DD has been using the FNX since PGF. First things first, it definitely is not an end loaded bat. Maybe we got an anomaly, but the balance point of the bat (center of mass) is closer to the knob than the 2019 CF Zen that it replaced (both 33/23).
. DD said FNX feels light, same exit speed. ghost had that distinct sound she likes but she said felt the same exit speed.
As mentioned here a bunch, the FNX feels light because it is usually 1-1.4oz lighter than same length weight ghost. The ghost is a great bat, probably the best, but the additional weight helps its performance. just my .02
also, glad you are liking the FNX. DD swings one and has been very happy.
