I have a 9 year old daughter I'm wanting to purchase a newer bat for. Last year she started using a teammate's 2012 Demarini Bustos (30/17) and was getting a LOT more pop than she was using her cheaper, newer alloy bat. That teammate is moving up and so we will need to get a replacement for her. I found a 2016 Anderson Rocketech (at Goodwill, of all places), but she doesn't seem to be getting much pop from it. I was wanting to step up a little since she seemed to have no problem swinging the Bustos, and was thinking of something not too expensive, as I might put down some dough for a CF-XX in a year or two. I was thinking of something like a Demarini Vendetta, but wanted some opinions on a new, discontinued bat that might be a few years old. I have seen some bats such as a Worth Sick 454, Mizuno Nighthawk, and Easton Stealth Flex, but wanted some opinions on if those might be a better option than a new Vendetta.
Thanks!
Thanks!
