My DD has been using one of her teammates 34/24 bats in practice lately and she really likes it, so I took that as a sign that it was time for me to buy a new bat....but I am not a very patient person, so instead of waiting for the 2016 Xeno to come out later this month, I decided to see what I could find on Ebay. I am not a bat expert, but if memory serves me correctly the 2004 Easton Stealth SCN6B is one of the early composite bats that gets hotter with use, but still has the ASA and USSSA certifications. Cannot wait to get my hands on it to see what she can do with it. I just wish I had access to a compression tester so I could see how "hot" it really is! Someone hook a brother up!
