It would require a lot of assumptions to do any sort of analysis, but for the sake of argument, let's put the 2 different kids on identical teams, playing identical opponents under identical circumstances. The only difference between the kids is that one played with cheapo equipment from ages 8-12, while the other played with the expensive stuff. While this could never happen in reality, compare their batting averages 8-10 years later and then draw your conclusions.What do you consider "greater success"?
Lhowser, it's still a large initial outlay for me, but I'll readily concede that point. There's not a whole lot of difference between $40 and $60 for a season.
Obbay, I'm a fan of sharing game bats.
BB875, can't put a pricetag on doing what we can to boost a child's confidence, but I'm not so naïve as to just accept that the bat was what made it happen. You're entitled to that belief, however, and I do hope that her success now will pay even larger dividends later.
