My daughter is 6'2", 210 lbs. 14U power hitter. What bat and what drop would you recommend?
Our Bat Coach suggests a 33" or 34" bat for your daughter. The drop would depend on what she felt most comfortable with, possibly a (-8) or (-9). The Anderson RockeTech FP: KRKTFP Fastpitch bat and the 2014 DeMarini CF6: DXCF8 Fastpitch bat would be very good options for her.

This bat isn't showing up on the legal bat list for NCAA is that true or is it legal? I just bought it and I want to use it for college.
The new NCAA approved list will be coming out March 15th. This bat will be on the new list and is approved for NCAA.
Will the 2012 RockeTech be on the approved list coming out on March 15?
Yes, this bat will be on the new list. This bat is approved for NCAA and High School.
What is the model#.Daughter signed Nat Letter of Intent in Jan.Her old Rocketech is 3-4 years old.Want to get another one that is NCAA approved.
The model number on this bat is #017022. This bat is approved and will be on the new updated approved NCAA list coming out soon.
How does it compare to the CF5 DeMarini?
There are actually some considerable differences. The Rocketech is a one-piece alloy bat with a multi wall barrel. The CF5 is a two-piece all composite bat. Both are very high performing bats, but it depends on what type of hitter you are. A stronger power hitter may have more success with the Rocketech, where a player who's not as powerful may have better luck with the CF5.
Is this bat succeptable to the same damage as a composite bat if used in a batting cage (with yellow dimple balls)?
Yes it is. Since it is an alloy bat, the heavier, more dense dimpled balls could cause your bat to dent and decrease the lifespan of your bat. If possible, I would suggest using a separate bat for use in the batting cage that is the same length and weight of your current bat to help protect the life of this bat.
What is the model # on this. I purchased a Model #017022 and is not listed on the approved bat list for NCAA Championships. Is this correct?
The model number on this bat is KRKTFP. The one you purchased is the same as this bat.
Does this bat need to be broken or can i use it as soon as i get it?
This bat can be used as soon as you get it
Does Anderson still do the Proof Is At The plate offer? I did not see it on the Anderson website.
No, Anderson no longer offers the Proof At the Plate program anymore.
How does this one compare to the 2004 model? The '04 model was a very nice hot bat and lasted.
They have not really changed much more than graphics in numerous years. Why alter what works?
Rocketech or nanotech ? my daughter is 13 and a power hitter. not sure if she can handle a -9 bat. She is 5 foot 6 and 140lbs not sure which bat to choose.
Really, both would be excellent. The deciding factor would come down to the weight she can handle. If you don't think she can handle the -9 then I would go with the Nano.
If I order this bat this week, do you think I will get it before Christmas? I live in Tampa, FL.
Yes. We ship very fast and orders arrive within 2-5 days.
we have been using the rocket tech bat since the 2nd one came out we have had really good luck with it but the 2011 just didnt hold up it kept getting dents on it will the 2012 hold up better?
I had never heard of that issue with the 2010 models. Anderson is an excellent company always striving to be better.
how long and whats the weight on this bat
Depends on the length and weight you need. But it is a -9 length to weight ratio, for instance a 32" would be 23ounces.
My daughter tried a composite bat didn't have much luck she has a Easton aluminum bat does a lot better. Does this bat have the pop I'm looking for? She is 15 years old playing high school fast pitch. I think I want to stay with a metal bat what is your opinion?
This will be a great aluminum bat with plenty of pop.
Is the 2012 more end loaded than the 2011? I see where you said it is the same bat, but reviews on other sites say that the 2012 "feels" more endloaded than the 2011, even though I can't find anything stating that it truly is.
To be honest, it is hardly noticeable. I've heard a few customers say it feels a little more end-loaded, but I've talked to others who say they haven't noticed a difference. Anderson says the weight distribution and balance should be close to the same.
My daughter has use the RockeTech for 3 years - she is do for a new bat - should she stay with a new RockeTech or is the NanoTek better
If she has has good luck with the RockeTech, I'd stay with what she feels most comfortable with.
