Best Bat to Buy

Is it really the bat or is it the hitter???Any of the bats listed above are great bats if the bat is put on the ball.They all have pop!!!It's just like buying a car you could also get a lemon with all the bats listed above also they aren't all perfect each one is different when the wrapper is opened.

 

Your A Coach--Right ???

Does your kids read your threads?? If I was one of your parents I would be very offended by what your avatar says !! You might want to rename it for the kids sake !!! And I agree with what you say about the hitter vs. the bat, but the bat does help !!!

All other things being equal there are big differences between the bats.

What I like to do is take a few bats to home plate and do a little self toss, hitting towards centerfield. You can tell the difference in a good bat. I still haven't found one that hits better than the original RocketTech. But there are some really good ones.

After you have found one that seems to have good pop the next most important thing is how it feels to the batter. If she doesn't like it (and I mean LIKE it) don't get it!

Some places have demo bats. That is one good way to choose. Grand Slam in Raleigh has demo bats. You can try them out in their batting cages. Even then it's best to take them in one of their tunnels and hit real balls.

Of course, if a teammate has one and she will let you try it out in practice that's a good way, also.

Bottomline, it must be DD's final decision.

PS: Err on the side of lighter rather than heavier. If a 23 oz. bat will put the ball 210 feet why would you want to swing a 25 oz. bat?

 

Definite difference in bats. Definite difference in bats of the same model by the same manufacturer. Bat difference may be as much as 20 ft.

However....the head part.... just having confidence in the stick you're swinging.....It's worth oh say....200 ft.

JMHO

 

Spend the money on hitting lessons and strength and conditioning.....

 

No need to spend money for that. To many very good coaches out there doing it for free. I know some who charge and don't do near as good as the ones who want to help the girls for free. As for the strength and conditioning you can do that on your own. Save money for the bats cause some ARE better than others and every bat is not right for every girl
