Youth Bat Sizing (Length) Guide
(All information on this page is only a guide.)
A lighter bat may allow you to use a longer bat However, just like your driver
is harder to hit than your 3 wood, a longer bat MAY be harder to hit than a shorter one depending on your age and your arm/
wrist strength. For youth fast pitch
softball, you can add 1".
It has long been our philosophy that length is more important than weight. One ounce is equivalent
to 2 pennies taped to the end of the barrel.

A note about THE DROP (-3, -5, etc.) Bat Length Minus The Drop = Bat
Weight
"The Drop" is a term for describing the weight of an
aluminum bat. It is unique to aluminum bats as the weight of a wood bat varies somewhat within each bat. The drop means take
the length of the bat and subtract the drop to determine weight.
Example: A bat that is a -3 is available in
32", 33" and 34". Therefore, a 33" would weigh 30 ounces, a 32" would weigh 29 ounces and so on.
