My daughter used this for her 14u travel team about 4 years ago. She chose volleyball over softball but I kept the bat in case she came back to softball. She never did and she has graduated high school. I am guessing the bat is broken in already but not sure since she was only 13 years old when she used it for just two seasons and only when the pitcher was slower. The bat has not been used in about 4 years. No dents.
