Hello All,
I am looking for some sage advice or at least some witty comments regarding a new bat for my DD.
My daughter previously swung a Demarini CF Zen 30/19 for U8/10 and moved to an LS Meta 31/20 for U12 as she liked the more end-loaded feel. She hits in the 3-hole and hits for average and power. My thoughts were just to get an LS 32/22 but they have now changed the bat and it is my understanding that they are more balanced than the previous design. She has swung a Ghsot Double Barrel and Advanced and liked the Double Barrell by thought the Advanced was a bit heavy feeling. Demarini in my mind has always had light-swinging bats but I hear the Whisper is a little different.
Is the change in the Meta significant enough to go to a minus 9? That seems a bit heavy.
How is the new Whisper? Good pop? Swing a bit heavier than most Demarini's?
Ghost is an unknown to us but is the hype real or great marketing of a good product?
I know the typical answer here is just to let her swing all the bats she can but we are located in Canada where hockey is king, and our local shop is great but lacks the ability to stock every bat. I would like to support the local shop as they are very active and contribute greatly to youth sports.
I am not worried overly about durability as I feel that bats that are expected to be hot out to the wrapper are not meant for longevity.
Thanks in advance for your comments!
