Is there any difference between this bat and the hope bat?

The Hope model is dedicated towards fighting cancer and the only difference will be in the end cap.

If you use this bat a couple of hits to determine if you like it and the size is appropriate, then you feel it's too heavy can you then return it for drop 11?

2017 DeMarini CF9 Fastpitch Softball Bat Balanced -10oz WTDXCFP-17

Being that it's the most balanced swinging bat on the market, it's no wonder the CF9 -10 Balanced is DeMarini's most popular stick. This monster packs a mean punch with a balanced swing weight while maintaining the ultimate in barrel performance. The Paraflex Composite has 22% stronger carbon fibers than the Paradox Plus Composite that was used in years past, which gives your CF9 more durability and a more precise weight distribution. The D-Fusion 2.0 Handle is optimized to redirect contact energy back into the barrel for an explosive trampoline effect for increased hitting distances.

Pros: I am always skeptical when they say "hot out of the wrapper" but this bat was on fire ! I bought it for my 14yr old who had been using a Easton mako, after her last tournament she went ahead and put the easton in the garage.. This bat flat out performs
Cons: The color scheme is lacking
