HELP WITH BAT CHOICES in cold whether

[Amy in AZ.]

Note - I am only familiar with the RTs up until 2007. The early ones held up and are still going.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have read in other threads on other boards, the Easton CV12's can be used in colder weather, but have not talked to many that use them. Any body use them in cold weather?

You can use any bat in cold weather. It is just you might be buying a new one sooner then you want. IMO, at the younger ages like some 12u, not all 12u ages, but at 10u and below. I really don't think it would hurt the bat. Just my 2cents.

Agreed. It's the ball that gets hard in cold weather that hurts the bat. I wouldn't have bp hitting a 100 balls in cold weather, but I wouldn't be scared to use any bat in a game at 40-45 degrees.

I bought a used R/T for my DD to use in cold weather and when hitting dimple balls in the cage.

IMO. A rocketech will dent quicker than most composites will break.

These Easton 777s will take a lot of abuse. The older the better and they won't break the bank. easton 777 fastpitch softball bat | eBay

Big time!

Very common ... first came the dents and wrinkles, then the cracks that would put them out of business for even basic BP.

Good performing bat ... just didn't hold up for me.

Thanks Amy. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a RT, but quickly deferred to a the Triple-7. Ended up getting two777's for around $40 for the pair.

I don't know that DD swings hard enough to damage any bat just yet, but at least now I won't have to suffer through while watching her hit 50 mph dimple balls with her CF5 .
