I like end loaded drop 9 bats. With proper mechanics, small hand radius and turning the barrel (no pushing) the extra wieght adds whip/speed.
31/21 moving to 32/22 or 32/23

At 12U?
Yes, 12U players can have proper mechanics.
Right. But you like drop 9 for 12U?
Not what I'd do but fair point on the ghost.
Unicorns can handle that at 12u big does not necessarily equal strong…I feel like this is a common misnomer just because a kid is big at 12u doesn’t mean their muscles are actually developed and strong.

It's a good point about actual weight vs label. In 12u, DD had a -11 xeno. Actual weight? -9.5.
She went straight from the 31-11 Xeno to a 33-10 Demarini with no problem. The Demarini was actual weight and more balanced.
No one answer applies here. The player, actual weight, and balance point all factor in.

Interesting I wonder why. DD changed from an FNX to an LXT since her college is LXT and she likes the feel of the drop 9 better than the drop 10….
