looking fo a new bat

[iMlearning]

Can't wait to help her break it in, but I don't think winter plans on leaving any time soon here in Maine. It's snowing as I type this.

I set up a bownet in the garage and beat the crap out of it LOL.

ultimately its still the Indian not the arrow that determines the outcome.

Very true. Some bats suit certain batters better than others so there are choices...but absolutely, its more about the Indian

$300

Bat shopping in no fun.

If paying that for bats...it probably isn't fun. No bat should cost you 3 bills

I couldn't handle the pressure anymore and pulled the trigger on a new scn8b for $150. At first, I placed a best offer, but then I looked at completed auctions and saw beat up bats selling for more. Hope my daughter likes it!

You won't need to buy another bat until she outgrows the 8B, and even then she won't want to let it go. DD has a 31" we bought well used for $75.00. Between the two of us and another teammate, I know we've put 3,000 hits on this bat. Over this winter it has become rediculously hot! It is now gone from BP/cold weather bat to her gamer and I've got two SCN4B's for sale. She just likes the feel of the one piece bats better.

Don't be afraid to let her teammates use it either. The more hits you put on it, the better it will get. You cannot hurt this bat.

That was my major concern about a composite bat (breakage). I feel better knowing that this bat is very durable. I don't think I'll be able to get it broken in for this season though. That's a lot of hits for a break-in period.

break on

We asked the coach to use ours also. He uses it to hit ground and fly balls to the girls. Now he uses it just for fun hitting at the end of practice.

It won't take that many to get hot probably 500 daddy swings will get it to open up. Ours may be nearing the end of its life, but I've got no complaints if it breaks tomorrow. We've owned it for two years and put it through the ringer. BTW, we used it in low 40 temps with no issues.

Never thought of that. What a great idea!

Just had to let you guys know that my daughter loves her new bat (Easton Synergy Scn8b). She used it at her middle school practice the other day and said it had a lot of pop and really likes the feel of it. I kinda doubt it would have much pop since it isn't broken-in yet, but if it gives her confidence at the plate, then that's what counts. Thank you for the feedback on the different bats.

I highly suggest the 2014 Louisville Slugger Xeno! Great bat! I am also considered a power hitter and I love this bat, Im a freshman and start varsity and I use a 33/23
