Looking to upgrade softball bat for 9 year old girl. Any suggestions?

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.

Demarini CF5

Anything Miken

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 daughter is....4' 5" & 65lbs......just guessing. Thanks for all of the info.

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.

That would be the right size & a really good price!!

I already bought the Easton Synge..29-17.5 A teammate of hers had one last year and she really hit well with it.

Is the 454 still for sale?

yea, 454 is still for sale.
