Which Type of Bat Is Right?

The bat your child uses plays a big role in how their swing develops, so it's worth taking time to find the right fit.

Look at length, weight and the league's bat rules. A bat that's too heavy slows the swing and builds bad habits; one that's too light can feel uncontrolled.

When in doubt, ask one of our coaches at practice — we're happy to help your player find a bat that fits.
