Mizuno bats any good?

What's on your mind?

by 59Invicta » Sat Apr 05, 2014 8:35 pm

Looking for a new bat for my DD. She loved her 2013 CF5, but it's dead. Not impressed with the 2014 CF6. I see a lot of the Mizuno bats, maybe because the Batbusters teams use them, but I'd like to know anyone's opinion of the bat independent of having to use it for their team. Any other recommendations for a 14U who likes a heavy bat would also be appreciated. Thanks :D

Easton Mako has proven to be pretty damn good... Not an even bat with a tilt toward barrel heavy. Lots of pop out the wrapper and only gets better.

OK, thanks! I will have to conclude from the lack of response that nobody really wants to recommend the Mizuno bats. I know that all of the Batbusters teams use them, so I assumed it was a good bat and I would be able to get some feedback with several hundred users just in the OC. I'm *hearing* the lack of comment loud and clear, and thinking that maybe the bats aren't lighting anyone's fire. ;)

I guess that we will try the Mako.........from what I am seeing - 4 or 5 of them on every team other than the Batbusters teams - it looks to be the bat of choice.

If you can hit, it doesn't matter what you are swinging; as long as it is not a 2x4.

The College World Series Champs and runners up swing Worth bats.

For my money... Demarini all the way.

Well, you asked the question on Saturday.
It's Sunday.
Maybe wait a few days until more people read through the threads to give an answer?
My DD uses a Mizuno bat and hits well with it. She likes it.
Before that she used only Easton Stealth bats. She hit with those bats. She liked those bats, too.

I agree with previous poster. A good hitter can hit with any bat. I think the key is being comfortable with the bat. If they believe they can hit with their bat, then they'll hit with that bat.

My DD swings the 2014 DeMarini CF6. I think it's a great bat! But of course she wants the newest bat and is spending her own money for a new one. She's been using a demo of the new Worth 2Legit (all orange) and that bat is HOT!!!!! She also wants to try the Mako before making a decision.

It's not the arrow, it's the Indian.
