Composite bats?

[dadofadirtlover]

You can usually tell from the price tag. If you are paying more than $150 for a bat it is probably composite.....

I'd be the moron that spent $250 for the wrong bat. I'll stick to googling the bat before I buy it to confirm until I am seasoned enough to know the difference lol.

Don't just Google. Search DFP, and ask questions about specific bats. When you find the one you want, buy it from Core.

Buy her the best bat you can afford if she is dedicated to the sport. You can get great deals buying last year's model (2015) new. Expect to buy her a new bat at least once every year. P.s. don't forget the the hitting lessons....

This^^^^^ PM Coresoftball20 when you are ready to buy a new bat. He will tell you what you need to know and give you a great price too!

If forced to choose, I'd spend my money on developing a good swing ahead of a high-end bat.

If you are OK with a gently used composite bat, there are some great deals on Ebay and at local merchants like Play It Again Sports.

Just bought my DD a CF8 for Xmas for $270 free shipping.

Depends on my mood. I will sometimes amuse myself by taking the time to listen and will feign interest just to see how deep the stupid goes.

All. Day. Long. You won't believe what they will say. Even places like Justbats.don't have customer q&a answerers who make some pretty strange comments.

Not sure how old your DD is or what size bat she swings, but if you are in the market for a bat, go to Ebay and look for a Synergy SCN1B or old Steath (several models). Here is a listing for a 31/21 currently at $100 that ends today. I promise you this bat will be hotter and more durable than any new bat you can buy AND when your DD outgrows it you can sell it on Ebay for MORE than you paid for it!!!
