Subject: She gets plenty of lift.

It just seems like everything comes off the bat faster with the Rocketech. The Mayhem was nice, but she had a chance to swing the Anderson one weekend, and she was sold. It took me another month or so to be convinced that I needed to spend more money on bats... :-)

The end weighting probably flattens her swing plane out a little, but she's hitting balls in the cage that her coach figures will be out of any park with fences at 250' or less, so I'm not going to argue with him....assuming she can do something along those lines against live pitching in real games. they started tournament play last weekend, so it was the first time she got to use it in games. It's going to take her a little while to get used to it, but by Sunday afternoon she was hitting the ball pretty hard. The fact that it was about 50 degrees out really sorta cut down on the distance, though.

It's fun to watch her at batting practice.
