Well coaching a 14u and an 11u travel team bat performance is always at the top of the list since the technology is always changing.
Yesterday the cf zen balanced demarini came in with a 33/23 for 14u and 31/20 for 11u daughters.
After about 125 swings each going from tee to soft toss to live pitching the enthusiasm was definitely there. Each said they felt the bat easily outperformed last years cfx, balls hit off live pitching would concur. Each said the feel was good, very light, no repercussion in the bottom hand.
Based on actual hitting results it seems to outperform the quatro pro that we tested and a girl on our team has had for a few weeks now. The ball definitely jumps off the bat with demarini trampoline effect (more reminiscent of the CF7 and CF8) but not as fast as the Ghost.
So this bat will be the backup bat in the bag for when the Ghost cracks (which is still happening way too often) or we go to our 1 USSSA tournament.
Anyone else have their experiences to offer? Curious to see how the Louisville's look this year as last years were very sluggish and only see girls that are die hard LS users really using them still.
