DeMarini CF7 Insane -10 Fastpitch Baseball Bat for Youth & High School Players - Lightweight USSSA Approved Fast Swing Bat for Tournaments & Practice

We had always bought my daughter bats that cost around $100 dollars, not believing there could be that much of a difference between bats. Her coach had her try variety of bats before settling her into a CF4. She hit great with it at batting practice then her coach recommended to me that she replace her bat and he gave us a few options.I cringed at the idea of spending $200 on a softball bat but after some shopping around between the options and seeing how much better my daughter hit with the CF4 than her bat we settle on a new CF7. The grip on this bat seems a little smaller in diameter than most bats. Girls with bigger hands don't seem to like the grip but we knew that going in. My daughter loves it! She's gone from an unreliable batter to a dependable hitter on the team. Her hits are more solid and go further than the same hits with her old bat. This was a purchase well worth the money for us. It's done great things for my daughter self-esteem and confidence at the plate. She hit her first homerun with this bat and then two more after that!I read in some of the other reviews where parents said not to buy this because it's not legal for play but we have not experienced that. It's been inspected by umpires in 3 different leagues and has never been disqualified from play.
