So you think the 34/24 is superior to the 33/24?DD’s college teams (2 daughters) swung mostly 34/24’s.
My older dd swung 33/24’s younger dd swung 33/25’s pre college. Both ended up swinging 34/24’s and hit the ball further. If I was doing it over, it would be all -10’s all the time. Don’t waste your time people, quit overthinking it. Been there done that.
Y’know- I do.So you think the 34/24 is superior to the 33/24?
I agree with everything you said here. I watched Mia Davidson launch 290" home runs in Athletes Unlimited with a 34-24 Demarini CF. It wasn't the bat, it was the swing. Get the extra plate coverage with the 34, and the swing will do the rest.Y’know- I do.
First of all, it’s more available. If you need to walk into a sporting goods store and pay full retail at 7:45 pm on a Saturday you can.
I believe that a kid that can hit a ball 220’ with a low drop 33” can do it easily with a 34/24. And eventually, if not immediately, that same kid can be more adjustable with the 34. Look at the pitch longer, initiate quicker.
My younger kid swung a 33/25 for years, and I think it was completely unnecessary. Grey ghosts mostly. I tried to make her use a 34/24 LXT. She went off, hit the ball farther, went right back to the 33/25. This was summer ball, think she was a junior in hs. I let her do it and I shouldn’t have.
My other kid liked -9’s and she set all of her small hs home run records but she may have been even better with a 34/24.
I also think its an opportunity to convince them that its the hitter that is awesome, not a special bat.
My younger one just had her college senior day, she spent four years on a top 25 team. This is a well known program, you would think you would have a barrel full of every size bat you could want. Surprisingly it’s not. She switches back and forth between LXT’s and Xenos according to what is available. Coaches couldn’t care less. I think there is a lesson for us dads who stay up at night worrying about this stuff. Just roll with a -10 and be done with it.
I would be a jerk if I had it all to do over. My kids would be swinging -10 one piece bats as soon as they were barreling most front toss and easy machine training pitches.
Now. My daughter is 5'7" and swings a 34-24.What height is reasonable to move to a 34” from a 33”?
I have an almost 5’9” 14yo whose cage bat is a 33 -9 but game bat is 33-10 just wondering when it breaks if it makes sense to try a 34”.
