OK, Thanks that would be an option rather than wasting money on an alloy just get another fs1. I also wanted my DD to move up to the FX1 once she gets a little stronger, her brother uses the xl1 & it is an awesome bat. Also Just got back from Play it again & much to my suprise they had the motherload of used anderson bats in stock. Kinda funny my DD goes here's a techzilla & I thought she was kidding, It was a 32" & yea it felt pretty heavy. They also had an older pyrotech & rocketech along with a nice nanotech that she said felt light for 89 bucks.Never any problems and because they are so cheap. .. I'm not too worried about it. They made the connection stronger starting with the brigade line. I wouldn't recommend it If they weren't so cheap though. DD'S FX1 is really broken in now and she has had such good luck with it, we aren't going to take any chances with it. Her Scn2b is identical in weight and she did they feel the same swinging.
