    DDs wants new bats. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy one in the Charlotte area w/ knowledgable staff or a good online site.

    Also any recommendations on the types of bat. One is 5"11 and my other one is 5"8. Both b/n 150-160lbs...

    I know they will need to be there to help pick it out, but I need help in getting to the right spot.

    As always...thanks you guys soo much.. This board has been so helpful, informative, and very entertaining.

    And have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday, with you and yours..

    Bats....

    I have a 2006 Rocket Tech 32" if you decide to go used. Just got a new 2007 from Cheeze....

    We are with Lady Blues.....

    If you go new, can get help from Cheeze or if he is out can go to In The Game for Synergy, etc. They don't carry Rocket Tech's dont think....

    The '07 Rocket Tech is nice, and hot, but you have to have the bat speed to make it work. I would say 32" for 5'8", possibly 33" for 5'11". You can't go wrong with the Synergy (10 oz drop) for performance and durability. It also has good pop.

    Easton and Schutt

    I know a guy who has Easton bats and Schutt bats, he will even let you demo them before you buy. I believe his email address is [email protected].
