Yeah as far as DD is concerned. She has 2 and loves them. We keep one for the cold weather games, BP, and cage work with a pitching machine when the HS coaches throw them in there. The other one is the warm weather game bat. If you get it, I would recommend turning the barrel after each hit to prolong it's life since they no longer manufacture them.
edit to add: When, and/or if it wears out or dents, DD just found out the Xeno -9 feels like her RF. The only thing is the length is an inch shorter. The other thing we have found is that if your DD has big swing speed and a powerful swing, the flex in the composite handle will cause the epoxy resin outer coating to separate from the composite fibers. It's an easy fix though. Just go to your local sporting goods store that specializes in fishing poles and buy the epoxy they use on fishing rods to coat the thread wraps on the eyes....or order it online. Peel the old epoxy off and reapply.
