Can you use a T-Ball bat for fast pitch 8-U

Most the players at this age swing too big of bat. If she is happy with it just keep it, be surprised if anyone complained.

Someone here said that they thought aluminum bars hit softies better then composite bats, not sure I believe that but I do think they are pretty much equal.

I am pretty sure that they make Aluminum 26" softball bats that have the USSSA and USA markings....look for the pink ones.

Which sanctioning body is your DD playing under? That will help determine what, if any, bat restrictions apply.

For USA this is the governing rule There will be no bat restrictions except that they will be made of wood or metal only. The bat safety grip and knob must meet USA specifications. (BIG BARRELED) baseball bats are not allowed.

For USSSA, they do not change the general rule. But, basically you are looking for this: Only bats made by those bat manufacturers listed on the USSSA website as USSSA Licensed Softball Bat Manufacturers and that have the New USSSA 1.20 BPF Mark on the taper of the bat will be legal in USSSA sanctioned play.

Coach or machine pitch? DD used a Tball bat my mom bought her at a yard sale in 6u machine pitch. First it got dented, then it bent. Then it bent some more and I about had to fight her to make her stop using it. It was a bright orange Easton and she loved the color

Now I'm really confused. Fastpitch T-ball seems like an oxymoron. In my daughter's league 8-U they do not hit off of a T.

They're also not pitching fast in 8U.
