Core,
Would moving to a 32 -10 instead of a -11 be less likely to Crack? I understand cracked bats will happen when they are making the barrels as thin as possible that's why I bought 2 from you in case we ran into this during high school season. She went from a 31 -11 in lxt to the 32 -11 in powercarbon and said it feels just as light as her lxt.
She is a slapper but does do a lot of tee work. 5'2 105 pounds, pure speed and definitely not a power hitter but she does say she doesn't feel a weight difference in the 2 bats. I was concerned with going from a 31/20 to a 32/22 adding length and weight but I'm pretty sure she can handle it. Thanks core I'll be hollering at you soon they are gonna replace it w a 32/22 if she likes it time to buy another backupI suspected a drop eleven when you said that you've had several of these crack. To answer your question, yes. The new -11 bats, in general, are made for a slapper. It is made to bunt, slap, flare the ball with the occasional power swing. They are not made for the every day pounding of full power swings time and time again. Moving to a drop 10 should alleviate the problem.
32/22 seems a little big for her size but given her age it might be just right.She is a slapper but does do a lot of tee work. 5'2 105 pounds, pure speed and definitely not a power hitter but she does say she doesn't feel a weight difference in the 2 bats.

My dd is also a slapper but younger and smaller than yours. She broke 3, 30/19 PC's so I just moved her up to a -10. There is only about .6 oz difference between the two on my scale. I also bought a used LXT for a practice bat, they feel very similar according to her.She is a slapper but does do a lot of tee work. 5'2 105 pounds, pure speed and definitely not a power hitter but she does say she doesn't feel a weight difference in the 2 bats.
