One of the most popular bats on the planet, the 2023 DeMarini Prism+ is a two-piece bat with tons of tech and great feedback from players, coaches, and parents alike. We hate, of course, that it's $400. But, for the light-hitting kid, it's a great option.

Description

The drop 11 2021 Louisville Slugger LXT is a two-piece bat with a big barrel. Surprisingly, unlike the other drops of the 2021 LXT, the drop 11 swung heavier than other drop 11 fastpitch bats for 2021. It is a good 15% heavier swinging than a bat like the CF and, oddly enough, not very much lighter than the drop 10 as we measured. Both are within 2% of each other.

Slugger, and other companies, usually reproduce a previous year's bat when the previous year's sales were great, and for a little refresher. While this bat is 'newer' it is the same, and that isn't a bad thing as it's a great swing. So, choose this year or the previous years based on the color you like.

Description

The 2021 Louisville Slugger XENO is a two-piece composite bat built with a stiffer connection. The drop 11 doesn't make a ton of sense---as hitters who need a light swing tend to want a bat that doesn't have a lot of feedback. Nonetheless, if you want a stiff feeling bat and you're in the drop 11 space then the XENO is your best fastpitch bat.

It is the cream of the crop and Easton positions it as the best of the best, this time in a single-piece composite. For 2023, it uses a new internal connection piece between the two barrels and an extended barrel. THE DROP 9 VERSION is not as popular as the drop 10, but it's a fantastic bat for the right player and might even be worth the ridiculous $500 price point.

If you think the 2022 Easton Ghost Advanced was produced to move the price point to $500 from the previous versions of $450 then you'd only partly be right. Indeed, despite the price jump, the bat's composite material in the barrel has been 'upgraded.' That's likely welcome relief to those who know that the previous version of the bat worked on borrowed time after about 500 hits. So, you get that same crushing sound, bomb-dropping power with a bat that lasts, we hope, a bit longer. I mean, who wouldn't pay $50 more?

From what we could find, the bat only comes in a few sizes (30, 31 and 32) so it is limited compared to the 2020 version. It's also pricey at $500 which is a $50 bump from the 2020 version.

The 2023 Easton Ghost Double Barrel Fastpitch Bat in a drop 8 is a top-of-the-line for serious players. It comes in a 33 and 34 inch length only and swings with some measurable load. It's a fantastic bat for the first 200 hits. And, if you're lucky, it will carry on past it. Lots of college girls swing this because it rakes and bakes. With the structural integrity of antique furniture, this bat can pack a punch for its first couple hundred hits. After that, get make sure you remember where you put the receipt.

It's recommended for players who take fastpitch seriously and need more power than their drop 10 can offer but aren't ready yet to jump to the drop 8 space. The 2023 CF feels great in a drop 9 but is its least popular size as it's often overlooked for the drop 8 power hitter of the gap-hitting drop 10 players. It comes in a 32 through 34 inch for 2023

The 2022 DeMarini CF is a two-piece composite bat with a huge barrel, flexible feel and light swing. It's recommended across the board for players who take fastpitch seriously and, were it not for the Easton Ghost, might be the most popular competitive fastpitch bat on the market. The drop 10 comes in a 28 through 33-inch and is expensive.

The 2023 Easton Ghost Double Barrel Fastpitch Bat in a drop 11 is a top-of-the-line for young but serious players. It comes in a 29 through 33 inch length and has a light swing weight. It uses the same Double Barrel construction, with the Sonic Comp and ConneXion from 2022 and is a two piece hitters dream. That is, a hitter who likes fine china as the bat is the least durable bat we've probably ever encountered. But, man, those first 200 hits or so are the stuff of legends.

The Easton® Diamond Gem bat collection includes the Pink Sapphire, which is crafted from ALX50™ Alloy for extended durability and balanced performance. The light swing weight and large sweet spot create power, while an ultra-thin All-Sports grip helps you keep all that power under control. If you’re ready to dominate the diamond, you’re ready to take your swings with the Diamond Gem collection. The Pink Sapphire is a great model for getting started in the game.

What The Columns Mean

Score: Overall 0–100 based on our 4-category model.

Drop: Length minus weight (e.g., 31/21 = -10).

Price: Typical new price; links to a retailer.

Image: Clickable product image; rotates retailers.

MOI: Swing weight 1–5 (1 = light, 5 = heavy). Lower feels quicker; higher feels end‑loaded.

Barrel: Barrel/profile size 1–5 (1 = smaller, 5 = larger sweet spot).

Stiffness: Handle/impact stiffness 1–5 (1 = more flex, 5 = stiffer feel).

Player: Player feedback 1–5 from testing and long‑term use.

Tech: Construction/feature sophistication 1–5.

Demand: Market demand 1–5 (availability/interest).

Relevance: Lineup relevance/size availability 1–5.

Resell: Secondary market value retention 1–5.

Perf (1–5): Performance composite (exit velo, sweet spot, tech).

Control (1–5): Handling composite (swing weight, stiffness, feedback).

Durability (1–5): Longevity/build quality composite.

Value (1–5): Price/performance considering league norms and resell.

Notes: Metrics use Bat Digest’s 1–5 internal scale. MOI is measured; others combine lab data and testing.

Our Testing Methodology

Data-driven analysis from the industry's most comprehensive testing facility

HitTrax Technology

Professional-grade launch monitor tracking exit velocity, launch angle, distance, and spray charts. Every swing is captured with MLB-level precision for accurate performance metrics.

Precision Swing Weight

Custom-built MOI measurement rig calculates exact swing weight to 0.1% accuracy. We measure balance point, total weight, and rotational inertia for complete swing feel analysis.

Ball Cannon Testing

Pneumatic cannon fires balls at precise velocities to measure trampoline effect and sweet spot size. Eliminates human variables for consistent, repeatable performance data.

Compression Testing

Industrial compression tester measures barrel flex and wall thickness across the entire hitting surface. Identifies hot spots and durability characteristics before field testing.

Multi-Hitter Protocol

Minimum 5 different swing profiles test each bat - from youth to college players. Over 1,000 swings per bat ensures statistically significant performance data.

10-Year Database

Over 50,000 recorded swings and 2,000+ bats tested since 2015. Historical data enables trend analysis, durability tracking, and performance evolution insights.

Eliminate Marketing Hype

Every manufacturer claims their bat is the best. Our objective data cuts through the noise to show actual performance differences.

Save Money & Time

Stop buying bats based on hope. Our data helps you invest in equipment that actually matches your swing and playing style.

Performance You Can Trust

With 10+ years of testing data, we identify which bats maintain performance over time versus those that lose pop after a season.
