I don't know about the intelligence level involved in the bat buying at that price. Often it is a case of what the player wants and feels comfortable with. My daughter, fortunately, felt comfortable with a $90 Louisville bat. But that is not always the case with teenagers. Also, for someone that has the limited income that I have, I damn sure wouldn't have wanted to pay even that price every other year if the bat is still in excellent condition.

What many players don't understand, whether a teenager or adult, is that if you can't hit with a $25 bat, you probably can't hit with a $200.

Will it go faster and farther? Possibly, but you still need to make good contact with the ball and the price of the bat isn't going to help in that catagory.
