Anyone have any intel on the new Rawlings Mantra?

DD2 swung hers all season, loves it

DD1 has been using it for practice sessions, then all of the sudden started using it in games last weekend......had a few solid rips with it, not sure if it opened up, or she just felt like she was hitting it well all week, why not on the weekend lol

Talking with So. kid that can kill the ball (D1 future), said she was going to buy the Mantra, I didn't like it but a teammate has one and after it opened up, I really like it. Thought that was interesting from a great hitter.

to each their own when it comes to bats... we have been through the pile and trends of most popular brands,, demarini, Louisville (all the alphabets ), Easton ghosts, and now onto the Rawlings mantra we blew through one this season she loves it used during school ball, travel season, and international travel where it cracked , got a repalcement and seems to be longer to break in then orig model purchased in January . same kid same lesson same tosser switched to an older bat diff brand in her arsenal and ball traveled many more times over the fence during same lesson.. seems as she breaks in more getting there but more time then previous one she broke.. could be fluke but we will continue to break in and the frustration seems to motivate her more.. as she heads off to university in few weeks im sure the team will supply with sponsored bat they prefer ..
