Criteria:

2. Durability (Does it hold up or lose its pop).

Come on guys. I need more votes. DD broke her second stealth. I need to purchase a bat before this weekend.

Not happy with the new Catalysts, dds seems to have some dead spots, used 8 months, also have photo of one snapping on contact from older dd's teammate.
Stealth seems okay, still prefer the rocket tech for pop and longevity. Still have an o4 in use still great bat.

The best performing FP bat ever is the Miken INTENSIT-E, if i had to pick from the list, i'd say the Virus or Rockettech.

RT, I would think she has the bat speed, watching her swing at Tiger Town. ?Get the older model as others have pointed out. ? If you use what Howard sent to you on 5-5, you can't go wrong, in terms of size and type. .

what happens to girls in college after swinging a RT in Youth and going to something different in college? I don't see colleges using RTs.

I would say the easton Stealth. besides its performance if you watch many college games you will see that bat a majority of the time. I am sure there are several good bats and the one your daughter has the most confidence in will help alot.

You are correct, but the swing index changes. I have seen some of the bats Howard uses. He measures everyones BSI. You wouldn't buy a bat that Bustos uses, as an example. I have a high school girl that bought one of these expensive bats being used in college. Very small sweet spot and she couldn't hit it for a lick. I had her use one of the older baby Blue Cataysts. She went 3 for 4. The next game her first high school HR. This softmore leaves that bat in the bag and it is mentioned on the list above. Each kid is different and you match the kid to the bat, based on her swing.

I like the Baby Blue Cat. My DD used it all last season, fall ball, spano, she just spanked 1 over the left field fence last week for JV. I like the weight distribution better as opposed to the rocket. The bat also grabs more pop as the season wears on.
Plus you can get a hell of a deal on one right now! Good Luck! ?

Some colleges sign a promotional contract to use certain products - bats included. Not all - some.

I have seen 3 of the yellow Catalysts break at the handle and another split down the barrel, so maybe you want to keep that in mind. The older RT are still the best around in my opinion.

DD has used a Rockettech for a couple years and really liked it. Her new bat is an 08 Worth Quad and she is very happy with it also.

I know the bat with the best pop is one that is shaved, rolled, or boiled! But as far as Im concerned stock bat are all fairly HOT!

Not too many use your bats.... You got them on eBay?

The best performing bat is one in the hands of a capable hitter using great timing, great vision and great swing mechanics.

Which Rocket Tech is the best? 07 or 08...I know the 05 model is highly sought after..

the girls on my team like the 08 RT. Some have tried other bats (the purple and white stealth?) and have comeback to the RT, 10'-20' futher per swing. Even my slappers like it for hitting the gaps and those outfield doubels and triples. It takes some soft hands to bunt with it but like Sammy said - technique can cover that.

04/black barrelled, 05 blue barrelled RT hands down best bat we ever used, the 08 RT is problaby better than the 07 only in the fact that in 06 they stopped producing bats to dumb them down to keep it legal, the 07 was the first year of new production, and we saw alot go back under warranty
