Im looking for an older bat for my 14yr DD. I have an oppertunity to buy one of the following 3 bats at a reasonable price.

Demarini Phenix

Easton Stealth (ssr3b)

Miken intensit-e MFI-3

Not really sure if the Miken is still legal. Any houghts?

Check to see if the Phenix is even legal. If you get the Stealth make sure you have a warranty. They are known to break. I have no experience with Miken bats.

That purple Stealth is a great bat, but it had some durability issues. There were several CF6s on my DDs last team and many of the girls were using their teammate's CF5 instead. Report was they were not as strong.

Take the Phoenix or a CF3 they are still legal in travelball. Should be end of subject, they have the reputation, and a bag of chips. Truly the best bat ever.
The Easton Stealth is a great second choice for one of the best bats ever built. It does have issues with that hindge.
All other fall behind the greatest bats ever built.
Now these bats ARE no longer legal in college ball.....But still approved OK in travelball.
(If I am wrong someone correct me!)
As what NorCalBaller123 asks......It is what your dd does best with.
DD and me still regard Demafuckinrine as the best.
Easton is THE hit miss,,Clareiton and that black and yellow crap,,,,who knows,,Mako might turn out to be the good one.
And Louisville,,, it is all what your dd does best with,,me,,,,not a big xeno fan. I do see girls hit them with them.
In closing,,,if my dd could swing the bat of her choice right now in college,, she would swing the bat she swung for years.,,,
the Gemarini CF3.
I see further, because I stand on the shoulders of giants

Feel has much to do about it than anything else. For my kid she's used all of the major bat brands at one point. She's had a TPS Triton, but because of the sound of the Xeno she won't go back to them. She's had Mizuno bats. She loves them. She had a Synergy. She loved it. She's had two CF5's and loved them, too.

Most of these bats perform within a similar range to one another. Give a bat a try for a few days and generally you warm up to it. I have no brand loyalty so I get whatever is on sale. There hasn't been a bat my kid has used where I felt the bat under performed. I do feel that the Demarini's held their pop the longest however.

This is a joke right :shock: I don't think Yoenis Cespedes could put one out of the infield with that bat....
