Neither bat has great pop. Old Stealth was a great bat but did not last long. Old Demarini Phenix was a great bat and could take a beating but very hard to find.

Best bats of the year Worth Toxic and The Anderson series, Rocketeck, TeckZilla and The Nanotek.

Don't waste your money on anything else JMHO :D

I've seen a lot of girls giving up their Andersons for Easton and DeMarini. I think all these bats are great, and part of it is psychological, but there is no way any of these are CLEARLY better than the others

I think all the bats have cooled off - as intended.

DDs team sponsored by Easton so she is swinging a Stealth and likes it. Seems to have a good sized sweet spot.
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words.

Our middle child uses the 2010 CF4, likes it alot. Heard an account the other day from a hitting coach that the new 2011 CF4 has quite a bit of pop out of the wrapper. In the end, swing what you are comfortable with and just crush the freaking ball.

I have learned over the years that our DD's will swing whatever shes comfortable with. We have girls on our team that will hit them out with aluminum bats it just doesnt matter. My DD used RT for years and wanted a Demarini and just loves that thing. The older the girls get the less RT you will see out there, I see mostly Demarini and Eastons and a few Worth bats and girls are having success with all 3 of these brands. IMO go with the Demarini my DD used the Worth and Easton and didn't like either of them. my 2 cents.

My DD&myself has been a big easton stealth fan ever since she was 10yrs old, she will be 16yrs old in the new/next season. The problem that she is running into now is durability with this composite bats cold or warm weather. I really do not know why this past season alone has been a wreck for her with all her Easton bats, 2 stealth speed bats and 1 gold/grey stealth bat(4year old bat) they all cracked. Maybe this bats are now much more compromise in durability since the bats are subject to a lot more stress in bat and ball collision due to the age group. However the performance of the stealth speed bat is exceptional meaning it has a lot of pop. But again durability is suspect. She also has a 32&31 stealth clarity as a back up, it is more forgiving but has a long breaking period, yet to hear of this bats breaking.. The CF4 is also suspect from this neck of the woods so we did not venture with that brand of bat as well. That said, she is now trying out The new Nano and preparing for next season to use the bat. Good luck to you, hope this will help you out not mess you up in bat selection.

I've never heard of anyone breaking that many bats...........you may want to take a look at what kind of balls she's hitting during hitting instruction/practice..?

Our older went through 2 CF3's in a year. She loved the bat, but it structurally gave out. 4 inches from the head it split. They replaced it. All of her practices used our standard softballs, nothing strange. But she also hit 100 a day.

Maybe Boeing should start making bats.
