Got my DD the new Stealth Speed 34-24 in July, must say I am very impressed with it. I would highly recommend it.

Most of these bats are close in performance. In comes down to, what the player feels will work for them. My DD has a Xeno and a CF4. She loves the Xeno. Will only use it. So in her mind the Xeno out performs all others.

That Worth 454 seems hot. Don't know about Worth's quality though. The DeMarini CF series and the Easton Synergy and Stealth bats seem to hold up well even below the manufacturer's temperature ratings. The Louisville bats sound different.

Our team is mostly comprised of the Stealth series. Our girls love them. One girl has a Freak and for a totally different bat and design I think it is just as good.
This summer we saw teams with RT's and Xeno's alot. These girls could hit the ball. You could tell they had good instructors or coaches and the swing matched the bat. I didn't see a lot of DeMarini's out there though. When I did see a DeMarini it was either the '10 series CF4, older CF3's or even a Phenix.

Was just reading about this bat the other day but haven't seen any reviews on it. Was thinking the same thing, not crazy about the color scheme but specs sound nice.
My DD's have used CF3, stealth, and Xeno in past. Don't really have any favorite and all seem to perform about the same. Bad on that, I just shop around in the off season to see if there are any good deals, then they use the the previous years bat as their cage bat. I bought the stealth and Xeno bats new in the off season and picked up the CF3 from a buddy. I don't recall seeing the worth 454 bat this past season so cannot comment on it, however, it if was that hot I would think more girls would be using it.

With all the new bat standards that are in place with the bat companies and softball associations is there really much of a difference. Or does it come to preference and feel. My daughter used to swing a baby blue catalyst (loved it till she broke it), went to the F3 and loved it. Now swings a Steath because thats what her college team swings and was recommended by the coach. And yes, she loves it now too. I see a pattern. I think kids just love getting new bats (at our expense)....

Easton Stealth is where it is at.. My niece had a CF3 and was hitting doubles all jr.high and some triples, and I purchased the Stealth and the third game with it 3 homeruns.. 2 in the park and one over the fence.. 12u Hitting it over 205ft is awesome.. She has the swing to go with it, but the Stealth is a great choice..

I can only relay what i have seen, my dd uses a 454, as well as her college team and alot of other teams we faced. It was a pretty hot bat.

My DD will use CF5 and since I didnt have to buy it. It's hot enough for me.

Both of mine swing a CF5. They both love their bats.

The RocketTechs are great bats but you have to find the right girls to use them. They are really endloaded but they have a ton of pop to them.

My DD is swinging a CF5, it's a 2012 though.
