What's a good mid level bat?

Looking for a bat around $200 for a 12u player

How big is she? What type of hitter? What level of play?

For example, my DD is an 11-year-old for 2014. She's 5'4" tall and weighs 132 lbs. She can carry a 40lb bag of dog food in each arm at the same time and is a power hitter who plays in 12U A-Class ASA tournaments. Her bat of choice is the Easton SRV4B in 32" 22oz.

She is 11 years old, 5'7" 150# and hits for power.

I would watch online for sales.....lots of places will put last years bats on sale when the new models are released. Hock Sports has several bats listed on their closeout page. If you call they will also offer you a discount on new bats. You can get a 2014 Xeno for @ $240.

I buy and then resell old Catalysts. Your DD would need a 32,22. Sometimes you can find them new, in the wrapper for $60.00. I have never had an unhappy customer. I use the old yellow one, but the baby blue one is the same bat. I think the only one that I have available is a 30" one.

Also, another great older bat is the green Liquid Plasma. I just resold one of those to a bigger, stronger student recently and she and her teammates love it. I think it was $75.00.

You can get a new Anderson Rocketech for $269. If you don't want to spend that much, justbats.com has many 2013 models and some 2014 models on sale that are some of last years "must have" bats.

You can find the SRV4B NIW online for $200 or under, as well.

You can get a used bat or last years models new for cheap. Get a top of the line bat

What's up with this new rule? Do all the bats have to the new stamp on it?

No, only if you play USSSA.
