When you look as bat size charts it seems to me like they recommend a bat that is to long and maybe to heavy for girls that are big for their age. My DD is 7 yo 4'6" 100# big shouldered girl. She played 8u this year instead of 6u because of her size and that's where her fiends were playing. According to the charts they say she should have a 30-31 inch bat that seems awful big for a 7 year old, maybe not for a 10yo of the same size. This was the first year she played softball when my wife took her to buy a bat they recommended a 30" bat so that is what she bought just a cheap 30" -13 bat it just seems awful long for her to me. I am going to buy her a decent bat for Fall season thinking more along the lines of a good balanced 29" -11 or a 28"-10 maybe I am thinking about this all wrong, I really know nothing about softball. just looking for recommendations from other people that have girls this size or coached girls this size.
