    What do you feel is the best and worst performing bat over $200. Please include your reasons why.

    Rule changes

    To add to the original question...I have had a few parents ask for opinions on various bats and recommendations for their DD. I have asked each of them to hold off on purchasing new bats right now because of my uncertainity regarding some of the new regulations regarding a bat's performance. Many of these are parents have always purchased inexpensive bats and have recently seen the difference a higher quality bat can make with good contact (not to mention what it can do for her confidence). I know it all starts with the hitter herself, my concern is them purchasing a new bat and it being ruled illegal in the very near future. I guess my original question before I started rambling was this...Will any of the bats (recent models 1-2 years old) possibly be banned with any of the new changes and/or new rating system?

    Made a very strange sound, but I could be expecting the -9 sound. Will know more, but the Stealth is just sweet. The Orange TPX is the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased for my daughter. I actually appologized to her the other day for two seasons of ithcing at her. That bat is junk, and it always has been.

    My DD uses the Virus FP,this bat is legal and sure does have some pop.It's done wonders for her confidence and batting average!

    no one can honestly answer that question except possibly the ASA team who is currently annalizing all bats for the 2008 standards. the results should be out soon, actually expected them to be out this week, but who knows???
