If you are looking to increase in weight, a general recommendation for selecting a bat weight would be getting a bat that weighs 1-2 ounces heavier than the previous bat your player used. As well, understanding “the drop” or “length to weight ratio” will be helpful in determining the correct weight. Look below to view the formula for determining "the drop" of a bat -and- also to check out the most popular drop sizes by age!
BAT LENGTH (IN.) - BAT WEIGHT (OZ.) = WEIGHT DROP
Example: a 33 inch bat that weighs 30 ounces is a -3 or "drop 3".
