BAT

LENGTH

Things to note when choosing a bat:
• In order to choose a bat you should swing a comprable bat first and buy one that feels comfortable.
• The faster you can swing a bat the further the ball will go when hit, SO choose a lighter bat
• Two bats of the same length and weight but different model will probably feel different. This is because the swing weight of the bat is different because the bats are balanced differently
