Another bat purchase from Core. After trying almost all of the bats out there, we found the PC years ago and haven’t swung anything else since. Since the F21 is a little lighter, Core recommended trying a drop 9 last year and it’s been awesome! Try as many bats as you can and you’ll eventually find a winner. If you are looking to buy a Mizuno, Easton, or Rawlings, why would you buy from anyone but Core? He’s a good dude!

Since I started coaching softball around 2010, I’ve never bought anything nice for myself. Now that my daughter is in her last summer of travel before she moves on to D3 ball, I decided to finally get myself a nice glove. Who else to go to but Annasdad? He helped me with a catcher’s mitt and a fielder’s glove for my daughter last March and now she has 4 nice gloves (all which have been recently relaced by Dan Davis). Of course he’s always going to recommend a Horween Rawlings, but if that’s too expensive for your tastes, he’ll get your hand into a nice glove. He’s not going to recommend a piece of crap. I went with the Marucci Cypress 12.75. It’s not a Rawlings but it’s nice! And how cool is this guy? I mean, he lines up all of his fancy mitts on the hood of his sweet Mustang in his garage!!!!!

Also a shout out to Westwind for the info about the 2nd year of warranty through Visa. Worked like a charm and it wasn’t that much trouble.

Have a great day everyone!

Waiting for @ANNASDAD to respond to you calling a real car a Mustang, LOL.

I am so glad that worked out for you! Anything that helps lower the cost of equipment is worth doing!

Watched a Mizuno team a couple times last weekend. The bats really did look hot!

There was one kid swinging a Mantra but I never saw her square up a ball, was really hoping to that. They only had a couple Mantras- most other bats looked like they were well used so the durability must be there.

I was telling Core on Sunday that a girl from our organization (the National Team, not our team 😜) just got the Mantra. I asked her if she liked it and she gave me the dirty look! She wants her Xeno back. And this girl is legit. She’s going to Stanford next year!

Man, it’s all preference. I see girls hit the snot out of the ball with the LXT. We tried it and my kid could only dribble ground balls to the infield. It’s crazy!

Thanks again for the Visa advice. It was like getting a new bat for free!
