    I have asked this before and as usual can't remember so can someone tell me who in the Raliegh area has a good selection of bats. Going to buy one for the team and may be headed to Raliegh this weekend. Thanks.

    Don't skimp when deciding on a bat. You get what you pay for. I highly recommend the Stealth (purple). DeMarini CF4 is also good but not as much pop as the Stealth.

    Good bats don't make hitters, they make hitters better. The bat does make a difference.

    It's right beside the K-Mart at Blue Ridge and Western Blvd. Just down from the Fairgrounds.

    Don't be afraid

    Don't be afraid to spend the $$$$$ 200.00 to 300.00 range. Easton Stealth, De Marini CF4 and Rocket Tech. These will be the top 3. My DD uses green Stealth 2009 and can be purchased for about 200.00 its a great choice.

    Thanks for all the advice. I have been waiting to see my girls operate and they are really working hard. Many have their own bat but a few have really cheap ones or no bat at all. Since they are giving me a great effort it is time for me to do my part and get them a good bat. I was leaning towards the one of the eastons (either the stealth or synergy) or the Rockettech. Couple of girls have the Demarini CF 4 so I was going to get something else to add a little variety. I want them all to be able to have a top of the line bat when they step in the box and not worry about who it belongs too. Again thanks.

    My DD swings a 2005 Synergy and a 2006 Synergy knocked out 6 HR's thus far...it's a pretty good bat also...that is all she will swing !!!
