Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and looking forward to some softball talk. Please bare with me if my questions have been asked a million times. Here's my first question for the board. I have the dilemna of not being able to try bats so selecting a bat is always my best guess for my daughter. Here's what I get caught up on. Let's say you have a Demarini CF5, and they make it in various lengths and drop weights. What are the differences in how the bat feels or swings if it's a 32-23 (-9) versus a 33-23 (-10)? These seem like they would be very close to the same, but I'm sure there must be differences that experienced hitters understand and can explain. My daughter currently swings bats that are 32-22, and I think she could use a bit more bat. She's not a homerun hitter. She has a quick bat and hits singles and occcasional extra base hits.
Thanks
