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.
