Hey guys, my 12yo DD plays 12U travel and will be playing middle school ball this coming February. Just weighed and
measured her tonight. 56" tall and 95lbs. She has been using a Miken Icon -12 for over a year and this little bat is
still really hot but looks like a war club instead of a bat. Rough looking ! I've read here that a lot of you guys and
gals (Amy) say to use nothing lighter than a -10 or it can mess with swing mechanics.
The 3 bats in question (or in the running) are the Anderson Rocketflex 30/20. The 2014 Xeno in 30/20 and a
Demarini CF6 -11 in 31/20. I'm really leaning toward the Rocketflex but I'm sure any of these 3 would be great
and an upgrade over what she is using right now. Her Miken is a 30/18 and she hits really well with it but I feel
she is ready to move to a heavier bat. She is short but very strong and has the fastest bat speed on her team but
I'm sure that's because she is swinging a -12. Thanks everyone, would like to hear your thoughts on these 3 bats.
The Miken has been great, don't know why I'm not considering one ? I know these which one to buy threads can
get really old so I promise this will be my last one......
Thanks.
