High School Varsity Baseball Player?
I am a sophamore playing on varisty this year and starting at 3rd base for my high school, but i need a bat. ill tell you a lil bit about me: i am 5’11″ and 130 lbs, ive ran a 4.7 40 yard dash, i play shortstop and third base.
last year i had a stealth and it wasnt bad, but it wasnt great. i am leaning toward a TPX Omaha, DeMarini Voodoo, or another Easton Stealth
HELP I CANT DECIDE!!!

Personally I liked the Easton Stealth stiff flex bats the best. However it all depends on what you like to swing. Do you want the bat to bend or do you want it straight.
TPX are usually non flex bats, and are probably the best non flex bat on the market. De Marini and Stealth both flex, but I know the Stealth does it to a different degree. If you get the stiff flex it will bend very little, while the regular flex will bend more.
I’ve heard that the flex can influence the ball path too, but I’m not sure about that. Supposedly stiff flex help a power hitter because they will get a little more lift on the ball, while regular flex will give more consistent line drives. I’ve heard this from people who work at pro shops, and any baseball store really.

Go try some bats out. last year i played varsity as a freshman and used a stealth and batted .323 with it, so I’m going to stick with that cause i know what its like. You really should just try out some bats in cages and see which one suits you the best.

Yes, tell us how fast you run and what positions really help us decide what bat you should get.
Do you buffoons ever get tired of bragging?
