Mizuno bats any good?

What's on your mind?

The CF5 & CF6 are the same bat just different color & a thinner handle. You can still buy the 2013 if you look.

Thanks to all of the replies. Ahh, Dumbo's feather - took me a second, but I got it. I hear the message loud and clear, but the bottom line is that I was offered a Mizuno bat at a huge discount, but without any positive input... :?: I have already seen the positive performance with the CF5 and her previous Easton, I was just looking to replace her bat and save a few bucks :o I know - that is unheard of in travel ball, right? I had hoped that with all the BB teams using these bats, maybe I'd get some positive input to put my mind at ease with the purchase. I'm going to take the silence as just that......silence. Like the Emperor's New Clothes. Apparently there is a gag order :?

I guess I will just have to pony up, because a deal isn't a deal unless it's actually a deal. :lol:

Took you long enough to come to your senses... Majority of the BB girls hate the Mizuno. Pressure is on to make a better bat. Maybe next year!

Could be.

or...could it be that the BB girls MUST swing a Mizuno bat? No player (softball/baseball/lacrosse/field hockey, etc.) wants to be told what "utensil" to use in their sport. I think that's the bigger problem.

My kid has used the Frenzy 3.0 and now a whiteout. The Frenzy was hot but went dead in about 6 months. The whiteout is hot, and supposed to be end loaded, but feels balanced. Coming from a CF5 Insane to a Whiteout End Load the Whiteout feels balanced.

So if you go the Mizuno route I'd watch for the sizes as I would compare the -10 insane to a -9 End Loaded Whiteout.

A lot of teams are being sponsored by Mizuno, and so you're seeing a lot of those bats in the wild.

A few days ago I posted about hot the new Worth 2Legit is. Today she snapped it in half!! Worth needs to head back to the drawing board.

Thank you for the update! Girl on our team had the same problem with the new Insane.
