Worth 454, DeMarini cf5, & Louisville Slugger Xeno are all really good bats. Depending on her size you just have to see what drop they come in whether she needs a -12,-11, or possibly -10 but that may be a little much for a 9u but again just depends on her size & what she can swing. I am going with the 454 for my 10 yr old -12 but she is a small girl.

The Easton Synge is much cheaper if your looking at that route. It comes in -11.5 & is a pretty decent bat for a 9yr old. Thats what my DD had last year at 9.

Never will by Demarini again. Had one break off and half the bat hit the pitcher's foot....they replaced it and it BROKE on a bloop single with an INDOOR ball played indoors.....they wouldn't replace or refund.

Anderson bats have plenty of pop and are hard to beat.

I think the stronger players do better with them.

My DD swings the 454 lite. Its a 30/18. She absolutely loves it, has/had great pop right out of the wrapper. I have a brand new 28/16 of the same model that I am interested in selling, has never left the house. I bought the wrong size by mistake, and before I came home she already had it out of the wrapper. So the store I got it from would not take it back. If your interested I'd take 140 for it.
