I apologize for being snide. I promise you that I'm not usually so sensitive. I honestly appreciate and respect your input and opinions. I am a father who has played baseball and slow pitch all of my life, but I have never been around fast pitch until now. You guys in the colder climates obviously know how a composite bat stands up to the cold. We live in South Carolina so it is probably a non issue. Again, I am sorry for reacting the way I did because I know I will need to rely on your advice on many things in the future!

Nothing hurt, sometimes, we try to be funny and dont think someone might not find it to be as funny. Let me tell you, fastpitch is awesome and after being around it for awhile baseball and slowpitch are boring IMO now. The speed of the game can't be compared to the other two. The skill needed to pitch, hit and field the ball and get those speedy girls out running the bases.

2 important FP hiting notes: 1) its more about the swing mechanics than it is about the bat; and, 2) don't let anyone BS you that the FP swing is different than the high-level BB swing

Well I love her dearly, but she's no Crystl Bustos. ;-) She's just an ordinary 12 yr old kid, but her team is Worth-sponsored and their coach has asked them to carry only Worth bats in their bags.
I decided it was worth it to pick up the Worth brand aluminum bat so that I wouldn't have to worry about really cold weather and remembering to take another bat along to the cages and then remembering to take it back out of the bag afterward, yada, yada. We were bound to mess up eventually playing around with the Easton alloy or the Techzilla.
I'd rather have gotten something heavier too, but didn't see one that looked as decent as that -11 Toxic.

Thank you, redhotcoach!
In the interest of full disclosure, I've met redhotcoach's DD at a catching clinic, and she is awesome!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all again someday!

Not saying this is bad advice, but both my daughters broke a combined 3 Demarini bats (2 Cat Osterman and 1 Vendetta) at ages, 8, 9, and 10 - 18oz and less. Snapped them right in half. When my youngest was 8, she broke her Cat Osterman indoors however and it was in a 70 degree gym batting off her older sister.
We still have one of them because it has Crystl Bustos' autograph on the side.
