How To Series: Bats

  How to Choose the Correct Bat

Almega Sports has you covered to address the "how to" questions.  The next few blog sessions will cover some of the most frequently asked "how to" questions we get in our retail store.

The most common question we get is "how do I pick the correct bat length and weight?" 
Answer: Have your player stand straight with the bat at their side.  The bat should not measure more than 2 inches above the wrist.

Next, you need to determine the proper bat weight for your player.
Answer: With the bat in the players dominate hand, have them hold the bat straight out in front of them with the wrist down.  The player should be able to do this exercise for 7 - 10 seconds without difficulty.  If the player finds that this is too difficult the bat is most likely too heavy.

The team at Almega Sports will be happy to assist you and your player with any questions you may have regarding bat sizing.  Remember, at Almega Sports we are a full line sporting goods store with a wide variety of brands and models of bats in stock.  We also have used bats available.
