This is my first post as I have been reading here for awhile. MY DD is 8 and just finished her fourth year of rec ball and is playing on a U8 travel team this summer. She is a natural right hander, but she can fly so we switch her to lefty about a year and a half ago and she is a lefty now. We are still working on her steps to become a slapper but at this point we are just trying to get her swing fundamentals down. She has a tendency to drop the bat head and swing more with her arms than her hips. Anyway she has good eye hand coordination and enjoys the game.
That being said, I am clueless on bats. Right now she has a -13 Worth storm 29/16. She is about 52" tall and weighs about 62 lbs and will be 9 in July. Should she keep swinging the bat she has? Is the bat to big or too small? Should she do tee work with one size and then game with another?
Any help would be appreciated.
