Bat recommendation

[knuckleballer15]

Just looking for advice or suggestions on a bat- dd is 13 and swings a 32/22 CF. But she is super quick with her hands and tends to get ahead of the ball and pulls left frequently, especially when facing slower pitchers. Thinking of getting a 2nd bat (probably used for now) that is a bit heavier. Preferably in the same length, don’t want to throw her off too much.

Any suggestions for a 32” bat
that swings just a touch heavier than the CF?

All the bat weight info you could want....

Bat Weight Database

For example: The Easton Ghost Advanced tends to run 1oz over the listed weight.

I tried what you are contomlating with DD. Did not work. Ironically she swung a CF 32/22 also. Other bat just sat in her bag.

This is not what you are asking, but I am going to go there anyway. Buying a different bat is not going to fix this. Your DD needs to work on her timing more.

If she prefers a heavier feel, by all means get her what she likes but that in and of itself is not going to fix her timing issues..

Yes that definitely makes sense. Want to see how she does with a heavier swinging bat before we commit to spend though. She does really well with the CF most of the time. So we’d like to experiment a bit. She can test swing some at a local store but live pitching makes a difference.
Teammates have I think and LXT and a Ghost that she can hopefully try, but not positive on their bat sizes.

Ltx will swing like her cf bat. If it is a little longer or heavier I would give it a try at practice If she can.

Buy a Ghost. Actually, buy two Ghosts. One as a gamer and the other to use while you are waiting for the gamer's warranty replacement to arrive.

Seriously, you don't want a heavier bat to slow the swing down. You want to slow (actually, delay) the timing down on the slow pitcher. Spend the money on a few quality hitting lessons first. Then buy the two Ghosts.

Yeah, get her path to be inside the ball more so she isn’t yanking everything foul....?

Yes, this right here! Then buy her a glove, forget a new bat!
