Unlimited vs. Other 2 pc bats

[HasBeenorNeverWas]

I bought my daughter the Easton Unlimited and am wondering if I made a mistake. I'm not a bat expert but it's obviously stiffer and I feel like probably less forgiving than a 2 piece bat. I purchased it primarily because of the Ghost pop but this was the bat that was actually not breaking all the time vs the 2 pc. She loves it, I'm curious the difference between a one pc bat and a two pc bat in today's technology. I see a lot of girls swinging the one piece and I'm curious if this should be more geared toward strong power hitters or how you would tell beyond your kid just "liking" it.

If she's ok with the feedback on mishits I'd roll with it.

The one-piece is designed for stronger hitters as their swing transfers more energy to the ball. It won't flex as much, but a string swing will drive the ball further due to less bat flex. I've seen smaller girls use a one-piece bat effectively, though.

Also, it will sting more on balls you don't square up.

She's not necessarily a big power hitter. Has some power. I'm just wondering if the 2 piece would be more forgiving and allow her to hit the ball a bit further. I was thinking it was probably better for girls with power, but wanted to confirm

The two-piece would be more forgiving, for sure.
