My daughter is in first year of travel ball 10 U, She has two bats today. One is an Easton Stealth 29-19 and the other is a D. Vendetta that is a 32-20. Do you think the Vendetta is too big for her. She just turned to left too. I can't talk her back to the Easton she loves the Vendetta.
Best Bat for my 9 year old

The vendetta is to big. IMO
Too long and heavy for now...especially if shes learning the left side. If its too heavy for her she will develop BAD habits. Stick with the easton unless shes a big 9... what is her height, weight and overall athletic ability? Im assuming shes a tiny speedy kid if shes learning the left...
It is way too big. And the Easton is perfect for her.
yeah we forgot to ask height and weight but most 9 yr olds have to not a huge growth spurt yet, 29-19 sounds about right

My girl is 9 also. She started 10u tb in aug of 2011. We switched her to a left handed batter after the fall of 2011. Her batting instructor at the time suggested a 31" 22oz rocketech. It was way to heavy and she developed bad habits because of it. The rocketech's run heavier then advertised as most people are aware of and we picked up a Ls xeno for her and she never looked back. She is hitting great from the left side and she used a 31" 21oz xeno.
