    My daughter has always hit with a Rocketech 32/23. Daughter is 5'9 155 a would say a power hitter. She wants a new bat with a larger sweetspot, tring to decide what bat and size would be best for her. Final Choices are:

    A) Demarini Pitch Black

    B) Combat FP Morphed

    C) 2010 Rocketech

    D) Easton Stealth

    My guess would be to use the Stealth until you can't use it no longer, and the Demarini seems to be a hot bat as well

    My daughter had two Stealths and had nothing but problems with them. They kept coming loose at flex joint. She has gone to a Clarity which doesn't have the flex joint and we haven't had a problem yet.

    perhaps she should try the anderson techzilla fp, drop 10 inner wall bat. she should be able to use the 33/23 or possibly the 34/24 without much loss of hand speed.

    Best Bats

    Just got back from the UT Christmas Camp with my dd. Coach Weekly said that this is the question that most players and parents ask. Here are his recommendations.

    The player should choose the heaviest bat they can handle without decreasing bat speed. They should be able to extend the bat in each hand and do a figure 8 comfortably. (They measured each girl's bat speed and most were only average.)

    Slappers and base hitters should have a bat with more barrel. Power hitters should choose a bat with more handle.

    They really emphasized increasing bat speed, and tee work.

    I hope this helps.
