Question for all the smart bat people.
My DD has been using -11 Demarini for the last 2 years. Problem is she has broke 5 (2 CF5's, 1 CF6, and 2 CF7's). She Is a small 10 year old at 4'4" about 65-70 lbs. She is currently using a 29/18 CF7, which she will surely break. But she absolutely loves the Sprites. The Demarini reps keep telling me to go to a -10, but I am not sure if she is big enough to handle the extra inch and 2 ounces. Also, from what I recently read the -10 Demarinis are not nearly as good as the -11's.
Do to a recent move she will possibly be moving to a 12U team. I think she might need a bigger bat for the move up but not sure. I am thinking of purchasing a 2014 30/20 LXT at a good price. She will not be able to try one first. What would be the opinion on someone her size moving from the 29/18 Demarini to the 30/20 LXT? Will there be a noticeable difference to her?
She has tried a 29/18 Xeno and does not like it at all. She won't tell me what she doesn't like, just that she doesn't like it. She does say it is not to heavy though, so at least she is a little helpful. Thanks for any advice
