We got two new bats for one of our girls. The intent was to let her pick the one she wanted and return (if she did not try) or sell the other (if she wanted to test). She's small but strong (9 yo, 50", 52 lbs).
One bat is a 28/17 that weighs in at 19.3oz (two piece comp)
The other is a 30/19 that weighs in at 18.9oz (one piece comp)
She's been swinging a hand me down 30/20 in BP (slows her swing down, but does not alter form) and a friends 28/17 (much lighter) two piece along with her alloy 16-17oz bat in games. I would normally go with the 28/17 but because its heavier than the 30/19 its complicating the decision.
With this limited information, should we go with the longer, lighter bat or stick with the shorter, but heavier bat?
Be patient...we're new to this. Thanks.
