Bat advice

Yeah, I think I'll buy them from myself, thank you very much...

As the famous poet The Notorious B.I.G. stated, "Don't get high off your own supply.."

I see that you're a "vendor". I'm not aware of what you sell. If you're competing directly with Core, with the same manufacturers, that's a bummer. If you have a different range to offer DFP'ers, that's great. At this point, it doesn't matter to me, personally. I'm done buying softball gear.

That's fair. I'm not competing against anyone, so if they can get a better price from a reputable dealer elsewhere,I say save the money. There's plenty of business to go around. We sell all brands of softball/baseball equipment from bats, gloves, balls, bags, catchers gear, uniforms, etc. If I can help save people money, I've done my job.

Do know many successful hitters and they don't all swing the same bat or brand.
What I know for myself is swinging a bat I don't like, weight and impact feel,
is a yucky thing.
Certainly not as enjoyable as swinging a bat I like.

Brand name or heard mentality never influences me.

Yup. Try the bats of girls on your team (ask nicely).

Try bats in stores.

But the one that works and you like. It is kind of like buying pants. I'm currently wearing drop 11s.

IIRC, a standard suit has the pants 8 less than the jacket. So if you wear a 48 in your jacket, off the rack suits come with 40 pants. And you can use that to determine if you're fat or skinny or normal, according to the fashion industry (or bell curve).

I haven't bought a suit in 15 years so I will take your word for it....
