right...im more worried about her skill then the bat she is swinging but if i can get a really good bat for , all the better. she has a rawlings liquid metal silver and an easton batatude now. both are are not high dollar by any means but she gets the ball to the grass 8 out of 10 times now . she likes the way the mizuno jenny finch model looks and loves the grip so thats what we're leaning toward......i'll leave the xeno's for middle or high school BUT if i can find a good composite for the same as the finch model then all the better.
