Sorry, no cheapies or NR bats in stock that light. But I guarantee I could have gave you a better deal for a CF8 than you got ;)

Btw, I have probably shipped more bats to Blaine, WA than there are people that live there...haha

Nah, she's not doing anything that crazy when it comes to practising. Not really sure what to say. I think, in general, we're doing things right in terms of having her using a non-game bat for practice & being careful about not using the good bats when its too cold. Im going to go with the whole "light bats are weaker" theory, for now (I don't buy it fully though, I saw somewhere that the bat drop doesnt actually affect the construction when it comes to composites & that weighting is added into teh handles anyway).

As for shipping to Blaine. Yeah, not really a surprise. It helps living close enough to be able to see the border from our house, well, that, and having NEXUS. I can usually be home with my dive bar tshirt of the month, two gallons of (cheap) milk, a brick of (tasty and ridiculously cheap) cheese, a six pack of (cheap and different) apple cider and a full tank of (cheap) gas in about 40 minutes. and thats including the nasty exchange rate.

DD just told me it "feels" like her bat is ready to break... I wonder if that is a hint.

Consider moving up a bat size. You may also want to get a "beater bat" for BP. Old Rocketech's are pretty durable and inexpensive if you are not buying the super hot models.
