top five fast pitch bats

[MKSOFTBALL]

Looking to buy my daughter a new fast pitch bat. What the top five bats on the market?

Each bat has it's own distinctive feel for the most part and each player will "take" to a particular bat. The two biggest factors in bat selection for your DD will be how it feels swinging and the confidence she has in it. That said, I wouldn't limit myself to the top 5.

Here's my list I'd be looking at:

Easton Ghost
Mizuno Power Carbon
Rawlings Quatro Pro
LS LXT
Demarini Prism

If your DD likes a more end-loaded feel:

Easton Ghost Advance (feels different on contact and is a tad heavier than the Ghost)
Rawlings Quatro Pro end-load
LS Xeno
Demarini CF end-load

Completely agree. My 13 yr old tried all the top brands. The Mizuno Power Carbon was her choice, which surprised me. She's almost a year in with it, and loves it.
