This is kind of funny, bat weights

[Boggs]

I noticed my daughter swings a 29" much better then a 30" and wanted tO get her a few options. So over the last 3 months I have bought 3 bats only to be very surprised by the weights. I find this very interesting seeing the Bustos 29/16 could be a great option since it's no were near the -13 it claimed to be!!

1st is a Bustos 29/16

2nd is a Bustos 30/17

3rd is a CF8 29/18

Very Common. Check out this thread:

Weird that the 29" bustos is actually more than the 30"! Maybe it's a manufacturer defect since it also doesn't match the db adm793 provided.

For what it's worth, my DD started with the Bustos years ago and loved it. It's a great bat for a smaller, younger DD.

Still have the wrapper on the 29 Bustos and CF8 but can't see it weighing that much.
