I know its probably going to come down to a "it depends" or its a personal thing. But how big is too big, for years my dd swung a light bat. Last year (2011) she used a 32/20.5. In the late fall and early spring she was diagnosed with a couple of things (diabetes and celiac) which had kept weight off of her and created vitamin deficiencies. So she has gained 20+ pounds and this past year she was swinging a 33/24 bat in the summer, an end loaded synergy, and at school, spring, a 33/23 cf5 insane. She went from a singles hitter to a gap power type hitter.
So next year I anticipate her being even stronger as she will have had the extra weight during a full season of volleyball and a season of basketball. So how heavy, is heavy enough. I am looking at 34/24 cf5 insanes and I wonder if its a good jump to make on the length but keep the weight the same as the synergy she was swinging, or should we move even heavier? She is not a big girl 5'6" 128 lbs, but has had no problems hitting with the larger bats.
