Bat Selection

It's all about bad SPEED not bat size.  It's a popular myth amongst parents and coaches that the bigger the bat the better but that is not true in most cases.  The only time you should consider allowing your child to use a heavier bat is if they are pulling the ball constantly down the foul line or swinging way ahead.  Your child should be able to comfortably control bat speed and precision.  Once your child has found a bat the he/she is comfortable with they should stick with it and not experiment with other kids' bats as most likely they will be of different size.  Hopefully this post will help you decide which bat is best for your child/player.
