Take her somewhere where she can swing a bunch of different bats.
Some kids always do better with lighter balanced bats like the one she currently has. Others prefer heavier slightly end loaded bats.
My DD has always been on the smaller size and always swung a heavier bat than most kids her size.
She’s a 5th year college student, she’s 5’5” and at max 125 lbs and has been swinging a 33/23 since she was probably 14
Okay, that's a 2 ounce jump, so it might be too much.
Here's what I was told by a former D1 head coach on how to determine correct bat size.
Have your daughter start her swing as if she's taking a full swing. Then have her stop the swing as if she's trying to check it. If the bat drags her through the zone, and you feel an umpire would call it a swing, it's too heavy.
Also, some bats are heavier than listed, so a 33-23 could be 24 ounces. The CF shown in the picture is a very true to weight and light swinging bat, so another model could exaggerate the weight difference.
That current bat length above looks just fine, just move to a drop 10! I would rather have really good barrel control and move up late.My daughter currently swings a 32/21. She’s 12. 5’ 4.5 and 150lbs. I looking to get her another bat but unsure if I should move up to a 33/23. She swings her current bat pretty well. This new bat will be for this season and Middle School next year. Opinions? View attachment 27528
