POLL: How Big is your...

What's on your mind?

Oldest DD, 14 (Just turned 14, played 12U last year), 5'7"ish, 125 lbs or so, 32/22 Techzilla. She had a 33/24 Demarini F2 before we got her the TZ last summer that she loved, so I ordered a 33/23 TZ, and it felt too heavy to her. Thanks to Anderson's wonderful 30 day exchange policy, we traded it for a 32/22, after she had played 3 weekends with it.

Which is why her next bat will hopefully be either a TZ or a RT, unless they come out with something else, just because of their customer service.

She had a teammate that was a stud catcher that used the 33/23 TZ.

My DD also had a 34/24 Demarini Evo before the TZ, but she never seemed to like that one. I've hit with it a little since she quit using it, just goofing off, and it seems to have decent pop to me, but oh well....


Younger DD, 2 years old (will be 3 in April), about 3 feet tall and a little under 30 lbs, uses one of those short, fat whiffle ball bats. She can do some damage with it though, especially to her 10 year old brother.

.........My daughter is a strong and fast 15 years old, 5-10, and 155. She swings the 33 CF3 (-9) bat and has loads of success. She does has a 34 RT in the closet that she tried, but never was really successful with top pitching.

DD #1 - 15 years old....32/22 Techzilla

DD #2 - 11 years old....30/18 Worth Mayhem

DD #1 prefers the Stealth but can't afford to replace it every 3 months so switched to the Techzilla.....GREAT BAT.....Surprising POP!!

DD #2 was using a MIken Halo Light for the last year and then 2 weeks ago it shattered like a piece of wood! She weighs about 85 pounds so it's not from her massive BOOMING shots heard round the world......WEIRD.....Splintered just like a piece of wood...She just used the Worth Mayhem last weekend at practice for the first time....So far, I'm very unimpressed.....She hates it but it needs to break in....Considering having it rolled????

Those Mayhem's are Worthless. Rolled, beaten, whatever. junk.

DD swings a 32/23 RT, just switched from a 31/21 Synergy

DD is 17
5' 6"
145 lbs.
lefty slapper

We are expecting a delivery of a Demarini CF3 33/24 today. Hopefully the last bat I'll ever have to buy. She's headed to university this fall and they will buy bats, cleats, gloves, underarmour, etc., etc. YEAH!!

well if she has a Jan. 95 birthdate, she would have played 12U last year at the age of 13. But now would have just turned 14 and playing 14U
