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?
“Typically” the bats run as follows:

-Demarini’s are true to weight except for the new Prism+ that is about
-Louisville LXT’s are typically 1oz over and the Xeno’s can be up to 2oz over but are
consistent for that particular year model.
-Easton's are all over the map going from 1oz over to 1.75oz over and it just depends on the batch.

Have you entertained the idea of an end loaded bat? The CF Zen Insanes are a really hot bat and while they weigh the same, to some players they feel a tad heavier due to the weight distribution.

And there are Eastons that weight .2-.9 over...like the 2022s. And most ADVs after the initial batch
have been under an ounce. So they dont begin at an ounce

And honestly, havent seen many LXTs an ounce over. But that
was a little while ago when I weighed a ton of them

But as most have said, bat isnt going to fix a swing issue. If she needs a heavier bat, get one by
all means. But dont overlook the swing thinking the bat will fix it.

Thank you- this helps. Yes I was wondering about the Insane. Have never seen one in person. She has liked DeMarini’s, though. What about the FNX?
