Tip!
Baseball and softball bats are different, make sure you're getting a softball bat that is an appropriate weight and length.
To determine if a bat is too heavy: hold the bat handle and extend your arm away from your side. If you can't hold the bat extended for 30-45 seconds, the bat might be too heavy for you.
