DD is 13yo 5' 100 lbs looking at the rocketech 31''-22oz.Normally uses lighter bats around 19.5 or 20oz in 31'' length.Is this going to be to heavy a bat for her? Feel she could drive the ball further with the heavier bat but my not be able to handle the xtra weight.
Personally I wouldent make that jump. Looking at not only a 3 oz difference but 2.5 ounces of that difference is in the end. It will change her swing as far as hand path goes. But If you really want to make this jump winter is a perfect time to do this as in MHO she will need the time to make that adjustment.
If she is at the point of out growing her present bat and it is in your opinion to small for her , that would be the only time I would even consider making that switch.
The larger the mass the further down range the round will go but she will need the strength and proper mechanics with it to make it happen. Good luck on your decision.
