    Thinking about buying one as my daughter is dabbling in Travel Ball now. I'm an old BB player that is All about Batspeed. Light bat get it thru the strike zone.

    I know these bats are end loaded.She currently has a 32-20.5 TPX.

    I guess what I need to know is Does the fact that its end loaded offset any of the weight or is it basically a regular 22 ounce bat.

    I hope this makes sense. I don't want to buy a bat she can't swing. I've seen those bats in these tourneys and like how the ball jumps off them. Thanks for any advice.

    Shes average size and Weight. 13 years old. Has No problem with the 20.5

    Thanks

    DD has 2

    The end loaded part will create problems unless her batspeed is fast with a much heavier bat than 20.5. DD has the 32/22 & the 34/25 she has very muscular arms and strong wrists; batspeed is quick. She uses the 22 for faster pitchers and the 25 for the slower ones. This helps her adjust and not pull everything down 3rd or foul. Some of the smaller framed girls on her team try to bat with it and can't bring it around fast enough. Try to find someone that will let her swing a RT and hit a few that will be the true test. Great bat, lots of pop!
