New to the softball world after many years of baseball. I've never had any real issues with any baseball bats and durability, but they also have a lot more heft to them. My kid hits a good 500 tee and soft toss a week. On the recommendation of the board we went with a slowpitch bat and she's swinging it very well. My question though, is hitting baseballs off tee and front toss bad? I've read some posts saying it's bad, however I've got a hundred baseballs but have only started getting some softballs. The bat I got was an inexpensive '16 leftover, dual stamp, -6. I figure a -6 would be a little more durable with some extra wall thickness over something like a -10. But, what do I know. I figure baseballs are harder than a softball, but if she's not hitting off something fast moving does it make enough of a difference? Very curious if this is bad on the bat though.
