Ok, guys, here's a question similar to the recent thread regarding using a heavy bat in practice. My DD is 12U, and uses a 17 oz Bustos semi composite bat. She's kind of struggling adjusting to the pitching, as this her first year in travel. I seem to remember reading on here that using such a light bat may ne counter-productive to getting decent hits vs. faster 12U pitching. We recently started using her 20 oz bat the we bought her last year, which never got used, to try to strengthen her muscles a bit so she can use a bigger bat, the 21oz CF4 team bat for instance. Is the line of reasoning appropriate, or is there a better way to go about it. She is 2 weeks away from being on 10U, based on her birthday, to give you an idea of potential size and strength. Not that she's a short girl, but not as strong as the girls that are in their later 12U eligibilty, like the girls that have the January 2nd birthday when the cutoff is January 1st for example. Sorry if this is a big ramble-fest. Thanks in advance.
