dd needs new bat any suggestions?

[leechristensen]

my dd is 14 5'11" 170 lbs right now she swings a easton synergy 33/23 and does pretty well with it(shes hit 10 hrs this year) but shes had it for 2 years and its starting to break down. should she stay with easton or move to demarini and i think maybe she should get a heavier bat

The power hitters on my DD's travel team like DeMarini. My DD uses an Easton Synge, but she's a contact hitter (13 5'6" 100 lbs). At 5'11" 170 lbs, I think the DeMarini might be a very good fit.

DeMarini usually swings a bit lighter than the stickered weight. My DD has a 32/22 CF4 ST that actually weighs about 21 oz. She also has an Easton Stealth Speed (SSR3B) 32/22 that weighs more like 23.5.

I'd definately go heavier, a -9 or -8. The CF4/CF5 or Xeno would be a good call. I don't like Easton for political reasons.

go with a anderson,rocket tech or nano tech,I don't like DeMarini because there made cheap, anderson bats are made in the U.S.A. thats my political reason.

According to this video with Rick Matthews of DeMarini, the DeMarini's are made in the USA as well.

we have 2 cf4s on our travel team and i wasnt impressed with them. anybody try the miken freak i know they make a fastpitch bat i think we will go with a -9. maybe the steath

DD has a -9 Easton Stealth and likes it alot. she also has a -8 33/25 XENO and loves it. She is 5'7" 150lb and gets them around pretty quick.

The Stealth and the CF4 are by far the most popular bats for travel ball around here. I havent seen one single Miken FP all year long

Here as well. CF4's, Stealths, and Rockettechs are the most prevalent in this area.
