Rawlings Storm Fastpitch Softball Bat -13 | 1-Piece Aluminum Bat for Fastpitch Softball | Approved for All Associations | Perfect for Youth & High School Games

Very good quality for price paid. My 9 year old daughter loved her new bat and was hitting much better with it.My daughter loves this bat. She says it is light weight and she can hit the ball better.Great bat!! My daughter plays 12u and pretty much all the girls on her team now use her bat. They love it!My daughter has moved up to the 12U league and she likes this bat more than her previous one.Very like that good for learningjust bought the bat and received it. Was looking for a composite bat, but this one is an alloy bat. Depending on where you look, it'll either say alloy or composite in the description/details. Disappointed but I should have realized it was alloy based on the picturesIt's been a long time since my girls played softball, but one thing that has changed is the technology used in the bats. This Rawlings Storm is the lightest one I have ever handled and that makes it quicker to get around on the ball and the long barrel design guarantees a better chance for a hit. This bat is for my granddaughter who left her bat at the park and needed a new one for All Star Tournament Season. She is 10 and on the small side so this bat is fantastic and she hits like a the champ she is. All the girls on the team have taken a shot with this bat and they got some great hits too.This is another fine bat from Rawlings. It is a really good value. It is well balanced throughout my swing and contact never sounds dead.The grip is nice enough and absorbs the force without the impact reverberating. However, for really long cage sessions you may want to consider purchasing upgraded grip tape.
