If I have one more discussion with our community level coaches of both travel ball and school team ball concerning bat weight and proper swing I may go crazy. I'm of the opinion that girls should move to heavier and longer bats as they grow and their upper body strength permits it. I also feel that there is no difference between a softball swing and baseball swing when your target is the grassy outfield. I have reached my opinion by watching better teams then ours and better coaches than me. Yet I am constantly confronted with disagreements on this issue. The other side of the discussion is that girls should always swing the lightest bat they can find and not turn their hips on the swing, even at the varsity level. Even when we stand and watch this style fail in game situations when the girls can't clear the infield!
In reading this site I know that there are many different opinions on each topic and I also know that many of you know more about this game than I do. I DO NOT mean to pick a fight, only to see what the majority of you are doing, so yes grs your right or no grs you have no clue would be okay. This also has nothing to do with bunting or slapping. If this has been discussed in another thread please disregard and point me to it. Thanks
