False......
Well, we found a pretty decent deal on a closeout Demarini CF8, so we will give that a shot. Once she is used to swinging the extra weight we can re-evaluate other options. She just doesn't know what she doesn't know yet.
We swung the new balanced Demarini and last years balanced Demarini. We like everything about the Demarini but just didn't hit as good with it. If you go by looks and handle size we would have bought the Demarini. I made her go back and hit a second time. We drove an 1:30 twice to test the bats. I deal with two stores and the local one didn't have any Demarini's in stock or we would have just went and bought it. For some reason her bat speed was slow with the Demarini .compared to LXT. We bought a 31-21 LXT. They only had a 33-23 Ghost and for some reason her bat speed was much better with the Ghost than a 31-21 balanced Demarini. The sales person played college baseball and was a professional slow pitch softball player or was payed to travel and play. I'm not sure if slow pitch is called professional. He's not just a guy. I have no clue why but that's what happened.
I will never buy a bat again without my kids swinging it. I was shocked at the difference.
