Any experiences with the CF5?

Insane is -10 and endloaded
CF5 Hope is -10 and balanced
Regular CF5 comes in -8, -9, and -10 and is balanced.

My dd has the CF5 Hope & she loves it! It hasn't let her down all summer. I have no regrets about spending the $

The Hope model just has a different color scheme for breast cancer support. The Insane is end loaded and I met someone who had one for demo at a camp and they said they were just absolutely in love with it. All the other "normal" CF5 models tend to be more balanced. I have a -10 2011 CF4 ST and it's definitely more balanced than the Insane and bats like the Synergy.

The Hope model is not just a different color scheme, it's a different bat. It is -10 and balanced, but other than that it is different from all other CF5s.
