Starting to go towards the exogrid what do you guys think?
exo grid is barrel heavy, take a few swings first. its not balanced for contact , its more for power hitters.
Each bat has it's pluses and minuses. The best advice in this forum that anyone can really offer is to head to the local sporting goods store and take some swings. One may be top heavy, while another may be more balanced. It's all up to personal preference as to what you really want in a bat.
Ok so i have one more question. I found a great buy on the stealth so i'm probably going to get that. However the site that has the bat only comes in a 31 and 33 inch. I was going to get a 32 inch bat this year but for such a great price is it worth it to not get the 32 inch? I used a 31 inch last year and it seemed to work, but im about 5'5 and might grow a bit more before spring.
It depends what you are looking for....balanced or endloaded. These are all good bats, although I hear there are better Demarini bats than the CF3. I looked at the Vanderbilt baseball website when I was looking for a Demarini bat (because they swing all Demarini), and in the pictures, everyone was swinging either a Voodo or Vexxum, no CF3's at all. This led me to choose a Vexxum because it is more balanced and thats what I like. Go to the store and swing them yourself to see what feels the best, thats really what counts.
Mets welcome first.
Do not buy a bat that will last you for a couple of years because you got a good deal on it. Try them and figure out for yourself what feels best for you. My son used an EXOgrid for several years and loved it, does not mean you will. He moved up in bat size and went with a Stealth composite. Be aware there is some movement afoot to ban them,(multi piece composites) so research this prior to buying. (I have already sunk the money so I have not kept up on the subject)

Also be aware that composite bats take allot of time to break in. You are going to have to put hundereds of hits on it (or get it rolled) before it reaches its full potential. Metal bats only take a few hits to break in.
Exo is the best bat period!
Come on Driller Man...it's the Driller Hitter!

I'm not sure how good the CF3 is but I use the CF4 and it has a huge sweet spot and great pop. I would imagine the CF3 would be some what like the CF4
