I have been coaching softball for going on 37 years.....and every year gets harder......but I have reviewed your fast pitch listing and agree whole heartedly with the Phenix, Synergy, and Rocket Tech.....I have all of them in my arsenal.....although somedays it seems the girls go to bat without a bat. No matter what kind of bat you have, you have to swing it! Anyhow.....The comment that I wanted to make is ....... All of these 3 bats are sold in the range of $230 to 280.....in my opinion this is ridiculous......! I just wanted to point out that over the years, I have found that the best deal for not only a starter bat, but an everyday bat, that many times is used in cold weather conditions, like high school spring contests, is the bugandy colored TPS...I think the number is something like TP-15..which is sold for about $40 to $50....a 32 or 33....23 oz is suggested. This probably can found in almost every teams bat bag, but seldom used because it is no longer pretty or doesn't cost enough........It however perhaps is the best bat in the bag in several occations, because it is very consistant ....no matter if cold or hot. It is durable, and has great weight distribution throughout the bat, without any end loads......just a good balanced bat, which allows for good bat quickness. Its sweet spot seems to range throughout the entire bat, unlike the Phenix and Synergy below its first 14 inches......the Rocket Tech seems a little over weighted towards its end and should only be used by those girls with long swings and a lack of bat quickness. I am not real fond of the Catalyst......because it seems they have had some manufacturing problems, which may be a safety issue in the future.

LOVE THIS BAT!! It is a very good bat. It helped me hit very good during the season. I hit alot better with it and it helped build my confidence

Amazing! This is an excellent bat. It has a good grip, large sweet spot, quality construction and is well balanced. The first game I used this bat in, I hit a triple. I hit ten times better than when I didn't use this bat. It is really easy to swing thru with, and when I hit it in the sweet spot, it's truly amazing.

G
reat bat, Growing up playing softball I have gone through a number of bats throughout the years. My favorite purchases have been Easton bats they seem to last the longest and have the best pop. The weight is evenly distributed so it’s not top.

GREAT BAT! I played varsity Softball all four years and this is the best bat Ive had yet!

This a powerful bat. I use this bat in game situations only, not in practice so that I can keep using the bat as long as possible. It has an extended barrel which gives me more power when I connect with the ball.

WOW! This bat is amazing. I've used so many bats in the past and couldn't find the right one. When I used this in one of my first varsity game I was shocked to see how well how I hit with it. When I hit the ball I expected to hear a "PING" but I didn't. If you can't find a bat that is just for you, try this bat.

I don't have a clue about the construction of the bat. But, I do know that my daughter hits much better with the blue one (The Coach’s Note: SCN8B SYNERGY CNT Fastpitch Softball Bat). Maybe she just likes blue better, who knows. Another girl on our team uses the gray one and is very successful with it. (The Coach’s Note: Tlhe other girl uses the SCX14B SYNERGY EXTENDED Fastpitch Softball Bat).

I used this bat in a Pony regionals tournament and almost hit the ball over a 265 fence. With other composite bats, I haven't gotten such great results.

I just got this bat for my daughter. She is 10 and has had a problem driving the ball because of her smal frame. Well, she swung this bat and the ball just jumped right away. You could see the difference in the way she hit the ball. The bat still needs a little break in time, but that is pretty common with all composite bats.

This bat has an amazing pop when it hits the ball. When I started using this bat, I immediately felt the difference. The swing is so smooth. The bat is well balanced. The color is cool too. When you hit the ball, there's not this little "ping". There's this huge "pop". You can tell if you hit it great or not right away.

I prefer an end-loaded bat, so the extra ounce of the Synergy -9 was great. I really like the heavier Synergies.

Synergy is used by my 14u daughter. She bats R/L and feels that she can slap and lay bunts down better with the Synergy.

My daughter has the RT and the Synergy, while the RT might have more pop there is no question she hits much better with the Synergy.

The Stealth vs. The Synergy - my daughter has both and keeps going back to Synergy (-10) and has had better results with it. Could be weight difference and Stealth feels more end loaded.

The Stealth is more end weighted and for some kids (mine included) will not deliver the same outfield hits. We went back to the Synergy - my daughter is a small 14U swinging a 31/21.
