33” is correct length. I would go drop 11. The lighter the better. It’s all about bat speed. We should all be trying to hit line drives. Bat speed will give her confidence.Thanks for all the input, didn't mean to get the thread off topic. Still waiting for reports. Actually I've read a lot on this forum and figured most would suggest the 33/23. And I do think a 33 is the right fit for the next bat. But I was debating (-10) vs (-11). She is definitely a developing player, not a 14yo superstar. Hitting coach did say she'd like her in a 33 for high school. I guess it just seems an inch and two ounces seems like a big jump, as she's just started working with th 32 22. Then I think a lot of college kid and strong HS kids swing 33/23 and she isn't
there yet. Also, seems historically that these demarini drop 11s tend to become legends like CF8, CF6 and CF5. I do wonder if some of that comes from the fact that these size bats tend to be what DDs just happen to be swinging when their mechanics and size come together and they are able to hit the ball hard.
Do all your hitting drills with heavy endloaded bat and then go to live pitching with a light bat. You should see much improvement.
