Bat of Choice

[sbmom19]

In Southeastern Idaho (16u-18u), we see lots of Demarinis. Mostly CF7 and some CF6. Also a lot of Easton FS2s. DD can't stand the vibration in Demarinis so she had an Easton FS1. Just switched to the 2015 LS Xeno AND LOVES IT!

Definitely seeing more of an influx of LXTs at the 12U level here in NJ. 14U and up almost all use LS bats, Xenos and LXTs. My 18U DD's team, which is not sponsored, has nothing but Xenos and LXTs. The lone Mako user finally gave up and got a Xeno.

In our area, L-Slug Xenos and LXTs are king with CFs slightly behind. Starting to see some Worth's and the occasional Mako.

Lots of variety in our area. Some use the 2013 Xeno. Some use the 2014 Xeno. And others use the 2015 Xeno.

^^^^Thats the closest to describing our area yet. But the LTX's are really starting to make a showing.

From recent spring friendlies and tournies in Northern Cali:

'14, and '15 Xenos
LXT
'14 Mako, and 2015 Torq(though I see a lot of TORQ users going back to their '14 Makos)
CF6 Sprites, and Insanes
CF7
Stealths, and FS1's

In Ohio I see it pretty even between Demarini and Easton. Maybe slight edge to Demarini. I still buy Easton Stealth's for my dd. Usually pay a ridiculous amount for used on ebay. Then a couple weeks ago I found someone selling new, still in plastic. Had to take out a small loan for that one. It's all she's been happy with. She's tried Demarini, Easton Mako and Mizuno Whiteout. What are you going to do?

DeMarini CF but I just picked up a vintage "yellow" Rip it Elite that my 11 year old DD loves to hit.

Any of your folks tried the Miken Freak Black

Coresoftball sells them...I've heard really good things. They are the same as the Miken Chill with the end cap issue etc... fixed. The 2 Piece Mikens are getting a lot of love for how hot they are in the Slow Pitch world.
