My how times have changed, in the 8U days all the girls in the dugout swung two bats, the big one and the little one!

A 31” bat seems big for a 10 yr. old. I have some decent size kids on my 10U team and none of them are in a 31” bat yet. I think only one of them even swings a 30” yet.
If she likes the ghost I would stay with the ghost in a 30”.
I’m sure there are some girls that can swing them at that age, but I think in most cases that it’s too big. But what do I know, there are girls who have one bat for slow pitchers and one bat for fast pitchers which I would never recommend.Both my girls used a 30" Demarini CF8 -11 bat at 9yo. 31" -11 CF8 at 10, and a 32" -10 Xeno at 12.
FWIW
That was probably 27 or 28 oz though, no?Edited to add: I swung a 32” bat as an 18-year-old college player.
32/29 if I remember correctly. It was the first year college went to the drop 3.That was probably 27 or 28 oz though, no?
Yeah I am older than you...we got to swing the Green Easton in college ?32/29 if I remember correctly. It was the first year college went to the drop 3.
Everyone always worries about the weight of the bat, but the length will get you too. If you have a longer bat and some bat drag in your swing already, it just makes the bat drag worse. I guess I shouldn’t generalize so much, but in my experience it seems like every kid I meet has a bat that is too big for them at the younger ages.
