    My DD has a Stealth that was a replacement for a Stealth that the barrel came loose. I just called Easton and told them that the replacement bat barrel has come loose now. They said that they will replace it with a Synergy because they have stopped making the Stealth. I have heard a lot of people having the same problem.

    Apparently Anderson's advertising budget isn't big enough to afford to.

    Another reason may be the Rocket Tech is not good in cold weather. They say to not use it if the temp is below 60 degrees. They do dent really bad in the cold weather.

    I once overheard a parent say "every time Jenny gets in a slump I have to buy a new bat!"

    But seriously there is a difference in the bats. You get what you pay for but you have to do a little research and have a little luck. The better hitting skills your DD has makes for a better bat, of course!!

    well, you're partially correct, they do sponsor three division 1 schools, none of which made it to the playoffs, they are trying to expand into more D1 schools, and as they are on track to have the best quarter ever in company history, it stands to reason that more money will be available for this in the near future. most of us dont understand that its quite expensive to do this with a high name college. it starts with $10,000.00 to $20,000.00 in cash and an additional contribution of equipment of $10,000.00 to $20,000.00....so doing the math adds up to 20K to 40K per school and thats a bunch to come up with. (CD told me he would do it for less...Honest Coach Dobbins, I really tried...lol)

    you have to remember that anderson is the "new kid on the block" and it takes time to break in against the big boys.....
