Slightly OT: Little League question / assistance needed

the key is more about the weight than length. (that's what she said) I think its funny the size up to the groin vs the waist...umm..he is 6 its basically the same area lol.

the one thing you don't want to do is spend big bucks on a bat. from experience the kids love knocking the bats around in the dugout. I kept on telling my players for every time they hit the dugout floor with the top of their bat they lose a hit out of the bat.

 

The difference between groin and waist is 3" for him, so it did make a difference actually... and we went with the lighter ones we could find... and they definitely weren't that expensive...

 

Took my son down yesterday as the league received 20% discount for one day only at Dicks. Ended up with a new Easton bat... $150..im such an idiot!

didn't read all responses so if someone mentioned this my apologies.... wrist action, put the bat in the hand and see how fast he can get bat through zone, if your son has good reach, don't need length.
big barrel sounds good

 

I was a Dave Kingman type stick ball hitter. (HR or strike out) & the HRs were basically luck because I ALWAYS broke the cardinal rule of hitting a ball. Keeping my eye on it from the time it leaves the pitchers hand. For some reason & just had trouble picking the ball up. So Pasta I would think that keeping your eye on the ball would be VERY important right?

I once read that Ted Williams claimed that he could actually see the threads on the ball as it was approaching the plate. Sounds impossible but it would certainly explain why he was such an amazing hitter.

 

keeping your eye on ball is a good idea!

hitting is all about being relaxed at plate, stance makes no difference , the type bat you use either... if you are relaxed and confident, you can have a better idea of the pitch that will come at you, and pickin up ball comes much easier as well.. its that simple! its all mental! of course talent comes into play.

 

Talent comes into play?...........SHIT!............now you tell me.
