How To Choose A Great Baseball Bat
By Gregg Hall
Perhaps the most important aspect of baseball is to have a bat that suits your needs. A bat's weight, length, and material can all have a positive or negative affect on a batter's swing. Consider every option when choosing a baseball bat for yourself.
Bats come in all shapes and sizes. Wooden bats are often popular with major leaguers, but some feel you get a better crack using a metal baseball bat. There are restrictions, however, on which bats can be used.
Every league has rules on what material a bat can be made from and the circumference of the bat's barrel. Do not become ejected from a game because you failed to pay attention to the rules. Ask the appropriate commissioner, umpire, or coach to give you the rules on weight and height ratios. Remember that corked bats are not allowed for anything other than practice in many leagues.
When shopping for a bat, read the packaging. It is becoming increasingly common for a bat to have print directly on it that states, "Approved for such and such a league." This can help you select a bat that will meet your needs and any restrictions.
Baseball bats can be as low as $20 and as high as $500. A pricey bat is not necessarily an excellent bat, just as an inexpensive bat does not mean that bat is inferior quality. The key to making any bat work for you is by practicing regularly. Nonetheless, you should find a bat that is appropriate to your strengths and weaknesses.
Today's bats are advanced. The thin walls, wood choices, and formation can create the perfect environment for a ball to go flying. These same bats are also far more susceptible to dents and fractures; so increased technology is not necessarily the greatest option. Babe Ruth managed to hit numerous home runs without using today’s streamlined bats.
Batting cages often have balls pitched harder and faster than in a normal baseball game. If you regularly practice in batting cages, consider a metal bat. They are able to withstand the test of time better than one of today's wooden bats.
Speaking of today's bats, some even have nitrogen or helium inside. A bat enhanced with these gasses allows more of a "trampoline effect", meaning the ball literally bounces off the bat at impact. This causes the ball to travel farther.
Visit stores and sample a variety of bats to find which baseball bat feels best to you. There is no tried or true formula for choosing a length. For this reason, it is far more beneficial to sample a number of bats until you find a bat that feels like an extension of your arm. The bat should allow you to swing freely without feeling like the weight of the baseball bat is knocking you off balance.
Never choose a bat that will last for a few years, especially for children. Any bat should fit for that immediate season, not be something a child grows into.
By following a few simple steps, you can find a bat that feels natural. As an extension of yourself, you are guaranteed to improve your swing!
