My daughter was just invited to play in a 16U tourney next weekend. Last night at practice her bat cracked - it was a 31/21. It was an older bat and she is due for a new one anyway. My problem is trying to figure out what to get her.
She is 14 years, 5'3" and 108 pounds. She is not that strong of a hitter and the old bat may be part of the problem. According to a website calculator, they recommend a 32" bat with a weight of 20 to 24 ounces.
Since I am in a financial struggle, I decided to check out eBay for a bat. I also checked a bat review website called justbats. With the info in hand, there is a bat called by Worth which is $79.00 and got very good reviews.
However, I am clueless as to what size she needs as they all have the weight and -13 afterwards. I do not know what that means. After some quick reading, it appears that you take the length and minus the number (13 in this case) and that gets you the weight?
Here is a link to the bats I am looking at.
