I currently am looking for a reliable bat, that wont snap (already been through a vendetta). Currently have a CF4, no issues with it but looking for a new quality bat for a power hitter.

I am also looking for a bat. I would like to find a used 28 or 29 inch composite bat that is still in good condition. PM me if you know of any that are worth considering. Thanks!

i had a stealth before and loved it. it cracked on the barrel after about 2 years of heavy use. it was a 2009 i believe (purple). I was leaning towards a CF5 or looking at a stealth. I'm hesitant on getting the CF5 only reason is its pretty new and want to see a bunch of reviews. (any defects ect.,). It is pretty costly. By the time i save up for a new bat i want to be sure its a good one. just shopping around right now.

RT is getting the job done for DD. over the fence in back to back games.
She is a strong girl though. Umpire referred to her as Amazon before he knew
she was my daughter.

I like RTs but too end loaded for DD, she tried one for a while before starting to borrow a 2011 TechZilla that she does much better with. Its a good Anderson bat. Not endloaded, barrell loaded. She is a contact/power hitter. The RT is just too heavy.

Isn't this question too subjective and so nearly impossible to answer?

With bats being so different from one another just like the girls who swing them and their personal attributes, I'm under the impression that each girl needs to find the one that best fits them. My dd has a 07 rt that I bought brand new from a girl who needed to move up in bat weight. Her dad had purchased this one as a backup since she hit hers so well. He had stories of lots and lots of homeruns. I was sure this would be the bat for my dd as well. Now don't get me wrong, it is a great bat.......for me. I had often hit the ball over the fence when I used to give the team outfield practice. Not so much for her though, she needs a balance load. The 11 Stealth Speed seems to be a good fit but so did the 09 catalyst.

I think this also holds true for the durability issue. I'm guessing a girl who has very fast swing speed and the body mass behind it will break down any bat quicker than a smaller girl who swings slower. I'm wondering if durability would ever be an issue with the latter scenario. If a bat was used primarily by a slapper/bunter and was never exposed to extreme temperatures, would said bat ever go bad? I'm thinking no.

I have a feeling the answer can only come from trying several bats. I say start with asking the girls who have similar body composition and swing of your dd and then start trying those bats to see how dd likes them.
