So DD recently started using a rockettech and likes the way it feels. She says it feels like a bat should when it hits the ball.
My observation was that she might hit farther occassionally with a composite, but the rockettech seemed to be consistent. So I decided to test this hypothesis.
Had her hit 5 balls off tee with each of 5 different bats, from 32-33" and 22-23oz. Plus the rockettech. Used my jugs gun to check the batted speeds.
Results were surprising. Although the best ball speed came off a 32" composite bat, the rockettech best was only 1mph slower. What was surprising was the variation in ball speeds on the composites, about 6 mph from highest to lowest, on all of them. The rockettech was only about 2-3 mph. On average, it produced consistent higher velocity hits.
Repeated this twice, same results.
Always heard composite was engineered for large sweet spot, etc. Its all marketing garbage now IMO. I believe what shes been telling me.
