    Time to purchase a new "hitting stick" for my DD. She's been swinging a Demarini CF3 (32/22) for the last couple of years. It was used by several players on her middle school, rec team and travel ball teams. The pop is definitely gone from it. I have learned my lesson about sharing bats. Could play it safe and go with the CF4. What do the experts out there recommend for an almost 14U travel ball player?

    The CF4 Black is a great bat. Of course there other great bats out there as well.

    It's hard to believe that the experts don't have opinions on bats they perfer. Any ideas from other travel ball dads/coaches on bat selection. Daughter really wants a Rocketek, CF4 or a Stealth. Would welcome any comments, positive or negative, about these bats. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

    honestly hard to give an opinion when you dont know what is going to be legal in the near future. all this talk about banning composite bats pretty much leaves a very limited choice. i have always leaned towards anderson rocket tech's, but some of their receint actions towards dealers leaves me not wanting to mention their name. great bat and will stay legal if they ban composites...

    I am certainly no bat expert but my youngest DD swears by her new purple Stealth. She loved her old purple Stealth until it broke. She won't swing anything else. Oldest loves her CF4.
