Best Anderson bat for a 10 year old

[default]

My daughter currently swings an Anderson Pyrotech (which is the Anderson bat for beginners) and she loves it. She starting to grow out of it and I want to upgrade to a better bat. Has anybody tried the Nanotek or the Techzilla? I would like to know how they swing when compared to the Pyrotech. The main difference that I saw is the -11 ounce drop of the Pyrotech compared to the -10 ounce drop of the other two. She swung a Rocketech the other night at practice very well, but I'm not convinced it is the bat for her. Any opinions would be very appreciated.

My daughter just got a rocket tech and even though she has to choke up the ball just flys off the bat. I do know girls that swing the tech zilla and its a good bat I personally thing the rocket tech is a soild classic bat for a serious player.:

Just tells me she has a bad hand path if she has to choke up. Any good pitcher will know how to pitch to her .

DD currently using Techzilla. She had a rocket tech. She liked both bats. The difference from what I am told is the sweet spot on the bat. The rockettech has a sweet spot roughly 1 - 1.5 balls wide and is end loaded. The techzilla has a sweet spot about 3 balls wide and is mildly end loaded.

I would think if your kid is a home run hitter then go with the RT cause if she gets a hold of it - It is going to go along way
If she is a single - doubles hitter it will give her the advantage of hitting solid doubles.

One thing I noticed is both bats seem to put the bunt down really hard, so the batter needs to adjust for the extra pop off the bat

Has a hitting coach analysed your DDs swing to determine whether she can effectively swing an end-loaded bat or even a balanced bat?

I am not anti-Anderson. My DD has a RocketTech that she loves. But I have seen many girls hit home runs with other bats also. The bat has to fit the hitter, not the other way around.

At 10 be more worried about developing her swing, not the bat she uses. I wouldn't spend a whole lot on a 10U bat.

Got my 10u a pyrotech last fall ( 30-19)for like 110.00 bucks because it has a huge sweetspot then picked up a new Demarini Tempest (29-20) off ebay for 25.00 bucks for the batting cages and she likes the demarini better and hits the **** out of the ball with it,go figure....

I would go with a less expensive balanced bat early and work on her mechanics. If she has a good swing and the bat fits her she wont be choking up, use the whole bat to generate power.Make sure her footwork is correct no ballerina toe.
