DD complains of her hands hurting when she hits a ball in a certain manner. Mostly when contact is with the 2-3 inches of the barrel end. It doesn't matter what the temp is. So, it's an old, hand me down Muzuno that her sister gave her. Is the bat worn out? Would batting gloves make a big difference? She's 11 and now she's getting afraid to swing hard although I'm nipping that in the bud. I appreciate the help.

Most likely a one piece bat. This is very common with mishits. Think of it as feedback...don't hit the ball there.

Had the same problem with my DD at that age. She was swinging a 1 piece LS -13 Mendoza and as she got bigger stingers got worse. She then moved to an Easton FS3 -12, 2 piece which really helped a lot.

Dd is a smaller player who swings a smaller bat, so she used to have a lot of the same issue. I moved her up on the plate and tell her look to pull everything. Seemed to help a bit.
