General, perhaps stup1d question, but how do I know if her bat has gone dead, and generally how fast do they degrade when they do?
Easton Synge, about a year old. First composite for us. I've read that many composites are good for about 70 games. Rec-ball + Summer and start of Fall, we're probably near that number, plus practice time.
She's not getting the distance she used to, complaining recently about stinging her hands. She claims she's making good contact, and the trajectories look correct. First step is back to hitting coach, in case she's wrong.
As my own test, I intend to go out with her this week and do long tee, switching between the Synge and Mystique(same weight, similar balance), and comparing distance. I'd have her do it blindfolded if I could, but she refused ;-)
Ideas, tests? I did search first, but if this is already covered elsewhere, my apologies.
Thanks in advance.
