DD is 14 (8th grade) about 5'-1"/110 lb currently using a 32" CF3 (I don't recall the weight)
In another thread, I noted that she used to like a heavy bat (Rockettech) but outside of Rec ball, can't keep up with faster pitching. Last year she started using her sister's old CF3 and likes that. Last year, a girl who used to like borrowing DDs CF3 got a Xeno and was seeing some serious improvement in pop. She is a year older, bigger and stronger than DD. DD#1 was bigger and stronger too and she could never hit the ball as far with the CF-3 as she could with her doublewall Aluminum ".375", so I was thinking maybe the bat never had pop.
Without trying one, she's interested in a Xeno because of all the talk she hears about it, but I'm thinking that's an end-loaded bat and may be too heavy for her. I have an old 32" Rockettech - would that be similar swing weight?
Last year she tried a CF-5 or 6 (don't know what number they are up to) and liked it, so I'm thinking of maybe going that way. I'm also thinking of going with balanced rather than end-loaded.
In my inbox I'm getting advertisements for bats at least every week and I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone educate me about the Xeno? any/all recommendations are appreciated.
