You might want to ‘remeasure’!! I’m thinking she’s 4.376 FT by now.

: )

I know, super ridiculous that I had her exact measurements, eh? We just happened to have a print out of her EXACT height and weight from her dr visit last week, so I figured I'd just give you every centimeter of detail ; )

She's 4.375 feet/inches and 68 pounds (just went to the doctor last week, only reason this is so specific!)

Given her size I don't think your bat is too small. You go to a smaller drop if you wanted to.

They still have that model in stock for 2019.

Thanks Brian! Well I guess I can try to wait them out until Feb 2020, or I will just donate it.

Honestly I would have them send you a 2019 30/19. The -12 LXT seems like a bunch of bull. I wonder if it is even lighter than the -11? At any rate....the -11 will have better resale value.

I read a few weights posted for the drop12 and from the few I have seen, its pretty overweight.
One dude had a 19oz that weighed 21oz. Now thats only a few reviews, so no idea if they are a
fluke weight or not. So take it for what it is. Seen weights vary with diff shipments.

They are cutting into a market that isnt touched yet with even smaller girls. All depends
how small of a bat people will pay good money for.

Funny you say that because it feels heavier than our other 19oz and the LXT is supposed to be a oz lighter. Is the weight being off grounds for me being able to return it for the warranty l?

No. Almost all of the composite multi piece bats are over weight. Some more than others. Shorter bats than to be more overweight. Check out the sticky bat weight post.

Nope...thats why EricF started the weight thread and why I try to weigh all my inventory to give
people some idea of weights to help the out.

I couldn’t find the LXT 30 18oz -12 on there.
