My daughter is 12 years old 5.4, 130lbs she uses a 34/25 bat, she can hit the ball about 200 ft. with it. The other day one of the parents on her travel team said she thinks the bat is too heavy for her. She said that when my daughter sees faster pitching she will not be able to get the bat around quick enough. I take my daughter to a batting cage with machines throwing 60-65 mph and she has no problem getting around on the pitches. Should she be using a lighter bat?

Cheese and rice! I have been in the cage with 100 12yr, a few were hitting 58mph and those were mostly fouls. If she is hitting 65mph balls, do you really need anyone's opionion?
