Does an ounce and an inch make that much of a difference in a bat???
After swinging the 2015 Xeno at a college showcase, my DD worked her guts out and earned the money to buy her new bat. She had been swinging a 33/23 Easton FS1 and decided to get the 33/24 Xeno. Last night at her first semi-private hitting lesson with a D1 head coach, the coach told her that she should be swinging the heaviest bat that she could swing without slowing her hands down (DD is a very strong power hitter). The coach had her swing one of the team's 2014 Xenos that was a 34/25 and said that she should replace the new Xeno with a 34/25!
New bat is less than a month old and while it has a bunch of practice swings on it, it has never been swung in a game. She has been hitting the snot out of the ball with her new bat and loves it - has even hit a bunch over a 225' fence in practice. Does an ounce of weight and an inch of length really make that much of a difference that we need to figure out how to get her the heavier/longer bat?
