The majority of kids at 9 and 10 u that can hit a ball 150 to 200 foot are the exception and not the norm. Most at that age are as tall as the log dad puts in her hands to go to the plate and try to hit a ball and not pull their arms out of socket. Or most cannot even get the ball out of the infield.
I would go out on a limb and say it is more the pitching at her age that allows her to hit the ball that far vs the bat. Not saying the bat dosent play a roll but as she gets older and if you view the bat as the catalyst for her production at the plate you will recieve a pretty rude awakening. By the time she is 12 to 14 It wont matter the cost of the bat or how good the bat is. Pitching will dominate if her swing mechanics are not good. And at that time you will discover the phrase ...A 300 dollar bat and a 10 dollar swing.
