Nighthawk Erin Lineman Parent

Pros: It swings nice. It has nice pop. It sounds good when the ball is hit. We bought this bat for our 15 year old daughter. We got this bat for her to use as a backup bat. So far she is using it all the time now.

Cons: The handle is thicker then most of the bats out there now, but she seems to be ok with it.
