The Correct Way To Choose The Proper Baseball Bat

By Jim Jones


So have you ever thought about it? Does the bat really count? Does the length, the size, the colour, does it really matter in the success of the hitter? The answer to all those is yes. All of them can matter. Yes the size can matter. Yes the length will matter. And sometimes, for some hitters, the colour will also matter. That's right the colour will matter. When we're looking down at this bat, we were given to make sure we're confident in it.

So in this lesson we're going to talk about choosing the right baseball bat . We wish to make sure that we select a good weapon because this is our weapon as a hitter. This is what we have when we are going to battle and that is what it is every time we step in the box. We're in a battle with that pitcher. When we step in the box it's not against the other team, it ' against that pitcher and this is our weapon. So when we choose a bat, there's lots of bats out there. We need to feel assured in this bat. We want to be certain that this bat is correct for us.

Now how do you select one? Well on my web site I got one or two different charts which will give you a general distance that you wish to select primarily based on your height, your weight, your size, your age. But we need to be confident in this. So we want to ensure that it is the right length for us. That it isn't too short. That it isn't too long. How do we choose that? Well we would like to swing something as long as we will control. The longer the bat, physics tells us, with that same bat speed maintained, the ball will go further.

So we want to make sure that we have something that's long enough for us, yet we will maintain bat speed. This is going to be determined based primarily on your size, your age, your weight, what you can handle at the plate. This is going to be different for every one of you. Also, ensure you check before you go out and get one. These things can be costly infrequently. You want to choose one that is going to be fine with your league. Bats are changing a lot at the moment due to rules. There always trying to protect the children on the field.

So take care you check the league rules before you go out and make an investment in a bat because it will matter. And yes I did say the length and the size, does matter, and like I claimed the color can. Because if you look down at a bat and you are not confident, well you have less chance to succeed. I played with a lot of squad that would only swing black bats. I liked the standard coloured bat. Often I would swing a black bat. Small side note. I've been told by umpires, they've got a tougher time seeing a black bat on a check swing. A little something for you to remember.

But when you select your weapon, test-drive them. Swing some of your teammate's bats. Find one that fits suitable for you. We want to confirm we can maintain bat speed. That we will be able to still cover the inside pitch, that it's not too long. We don't want something too short where we will not get to an external pitch. So test-drive other teammate's bats. Make a good selection. This is your weapon you are going to battle with. Next time you get in the box, take your weapon, trust it and have a good game.
