There are a number of points that you should keep in mind while choosing a baseball bat.
Some factors include level of play, size of the batter, cost and comfort.
The comfort of the baseball bat is definitely the most important governing factor. As with any piece of accessory or equipment associated with sports, you must ensure that the baseball bat is comfortable to handle—the more it is comfortable the better you would be able to play the game. To judge its comfort level take a few swings of the baseball bat and also try to picture yourself playing the game with it. Better still, if any of your friends has a bat of the same make and company, you can borrow it for some time to judge your comfort level. A swing in the store may not feel the same as it would feel in real situations. In case you are choosing a bat for the younger players make sure that they are able to swing the bat without too much effort. Young players struggling to swing bats that are too big for them is a common sight.
The next factor that you should consider is the size of the bat. This includes the length and weight of the baseball bat. As a general rule, the length of the baseball bat should depend of the height of the batter; the taller the batter the longer should be the baseball bat.
The next point you should consider while choosing a baseball bat is the level of play. Keep in mind that baseball bats are measured using their length to weight ratio, a negative number that represents how many ounces a bat weighs compared to its length in inches. Make sure to check the regulations of your league before buying a baseball bat. This is because every level from little league through major league has different regulations regarding what bat sizes and materials are allowed.

Help answer the question about Baseball
What happens when a baseball manager gets thrown out of the game by the umpire?I was watching a baseball game on television. (I won't say what team) And, the manager came out of the dugout to talk to one of the umpires about a call that he didn't agree with and the umpire threw him out of the game. What happens when he is thrown out of the game? Where does he go and does he get to come back later in the game?

Im thinking luisville slugger is a cool brand
If you can grip the bat at the base of the handle, and hold it out straight-armed in front of you for a thirty count, its light enough. So, the biggest bat you're comfortable with which you can do that.
awesome stuff man,….ama practice hard to get to yo level!
i use photoshop
I tend to like TPXs better… i like the grip on them and it feels like its a little easier to find the button on the bat.. but ive never hit with the freak or reline… dont like the connexion at all
a sure fire way to get a good bat is when your looking at it do two things …1. have him hold the bat straight out for 30 seconds with one hand all the way at the bottom of the bat it shouldn't be easy but it shouldn't be too hard. 2. find a place with alot of room in the store (near the bats) and have him swing the bat or at least go through the motion slowly. he needs a bat that comes to about his waist probably a little shorter then that. those are the main points….if your son has played baseball before he will probably know when he has found the right bat. if he hasnt then just get what he likes (as long as money isn't a real factor cause they can be preety expensive) and hope for the best…also if your in little league make sure the bat is aprooved for little league play ive accidentaly picked up softball bats (usualy heavier with longer sweet sposts) loved em and then looked at them and almost cried lol. if he has played and would like to develope a little more power there are a few tips that can help for starters pick a heavier bat and swing up slightly the heavier bat has to do with physics the more weight moving the easier it is to keep it going and the slight up swing meets the ball dead on making it easier to get the ball in the air (note only use those last 2 tips if he has played before and is looking for extra power they are hard for new players to do and a heavier bat will most likely mess up a beginner) if he hasnt played go lighter then what most people might think it gives him a little more bat speed and bat control so it'll be better for him. and two more things that i forgot to mention before are when he swings make sure he rotates his hips and folows through with everything else its something that really helps even beginners. another thing is i really don't like buying bats off the internet although it can be done i think that a bat really needs to be felt befeor you can truely decide if its good or not but like i said it can be done and the bat im currently using is from the internet but i knew more or less what i was looking for (heavy and long) when your not sure what to look for buying a bat off the internet is a risky option. by the way im 13 and im using a 33 inch 28 oz. bat.
Dont get discouraged, keep doing what your doing. Go to your local sports outfitter and ask for some help choosing a wooden bat. Little known facts Babe Ruth used a 42 ounce bat pretty much a tree trunk, Ryan Howard uses a 34 ounce bat, Alfonso Soriano uses a 33 ounce bat, Barry Bonds uses a 32 ounce bat, I used a 31 ounce bat when I was playing, most of the hitters in baseball are around the mid to low 30s in ounces, as far as length that all depends on your reach with the bat, (thats why you see players tap the other side of home plate with the bat) and your body size, feel the bats, make sure your comfortable swinging and can get it around on on the fast balls, I dont know what level your at if you a high school player, little league, college, semi pro, softball leaguer, I dont know, but the best way is to borrow a few bats at different sizes and go to the batting cages.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E your works is very awesome! cool!!!! very good
wich program he is for doing this ? beside a tablet ofc
awesome, keep up the good work!
Here is a general guideline on size and weight.
At 9 years old he should use between 26 – 28 inch bat.
However, 52" and 80lbs is right on the edge. I would go up to a 30" bat that is lighter. It mostly matters what feels good to him and what he can handle. But he will grow out of the bat in a year, by going up to 30" he will be able to use it next year as well.
Most kids will try to convince you that they need the heaviest bat available, they all want to be Soriano. But at 9-12 years old they are usually still learning to handle a bat and the light swing gives them more bat control. So ask him, do you want to get on base every game or do you want to get a lucky hit once a year?
There is actually quite a bit that goes into picking the right bat but at that age, once you match him up he's ready for the next one.
One of the best ways, and you may save a future fortune on Carbon this/alloy that, I need a -4 and the next great bat solution is to send him to a hitting instructor. It should cost about 60-70 dollars and he will help him choose the right bat…
On a side note – now I know why a Driver in golf costs $400, is the most purchased and the least used club in the game…. The marketing starts when you are in Little League… if you can't hit, you need a better bat…
SV12 is the better bat. I have one and it is a really good bat. $300
Awesome work Williamsshamir
Great video.
Much love Kat
