My daughter is going to be playing in 8-U this spring. She actually is good enough to play with the 10-U players. However, the 8-U team barely has enough girls to field a team. Here's my problem.
My daughter is one of the youngest 8-year-olds and is very small in general. She's only 50 pounds. The bat she's been using is 27 inches and 17 ounces. Although she does well with it, it's clearly too long and too heavy. When I look at fastpitch softball bats I can't really find anything that's 26 inches and 14 or 15 ounces unless they say T-Ball. I'm wondering a couple of things.
Can kids play fastpitch softball with a softball TBall bat? Are they constructed differently such that the ball won't carry as well?
This is an example of what I'm talking about. Notice it's 26 inches long and 14 ounces. That would be much easier for her to get around on. But it says T-Ball and is under softball bats
Rawlings Girls' Quatro T-Ball Bat 2018 (-13)
Comes in a 26" at 13 ounces.
