My son, 7yo, doesn't play baseball -- but he's interested in the sport. For Christmas, I bought him some balls, a glove and this bat, the 29" Louisville Slugger. I grew up swinging a Louisville Slugger when I was a boy playing baseball with my older brother.
Problem is, even though this is the right bat length -- according to the web searches I did -- it's just too heavy for him to comfortably swing with any degree of power and control, even when he chokes up on the bat. My son has a slim build, so a stronger, stockier boy might not be so troubled.
After trying this bat out with my son, I've concluded that we'll return to primarily using the two aluminum bats he's already got in the garage. We may keep using this bat just to build up his upper body strength, but for control and a faster swing, an aluminum bat will be better for him.Get more detail about Louisville Slugger MLB225YB Youth Wood Baseball Bat.
