My daughter plays high school ball. She is only 5'2" 125 lbs though. Do you think the 31/20 bat would work for her?b

That would be a good bat for her how much it helps depends0n how good of a hitter she is.

A 31" bat is the max recommended length for a 5'2" player. Make sure that the bat feels comfortable to her and that she is confident with her cut. More important than the length is the weight. Have your daughter take the bat at the knob with her throwing hand and hold it directly out in front of her for about 5 seconds. If she can do this, then that bat is feasible.

If I were a softball player I would use this with a baseball. If you train using a smaller ball then hit a bigger ball during games it should be easier to be successful.

We have had excellent results with this machine -- the "baseballs" you select that "work" best depend upon whom is using the batting machine, and safety issues -- adults, older kids, younger kids -- our kids are 5 and 6, and they use the Franklin foam balls #14941 (sold in 2-paks), which work great for them (with padded 27" bat) -- some of the other balls sold may be better for older batters --

I feel it would be. My son was 12 at the time he purchased it. We did notice an improvement in reaction time and better form due to the low weight to size ratio. Like anything tho good , dedicated practice and good equipment is key to improvement. My son is smaller than most 12 year olds on his team and I truly feel this bat was a big help for him

I believe so. It is the perfect weight for a beginning ball player. My son is going in to 1st grade and it seemed very similar to the bats they used in his baseball league this spring.

I got one of this (32"/24ounces) for my son (he is in Travel League) and it is really good for him. My son is 12 at the time and he is a big kid (5'6"). You can choose the size of the bat depending on how tall and the strength your son has so make sure you know the length and size that is good for him. My kid love this bat.

My daughter is using a 12" ball (USSSA 14 U), and the ball is considerably larger than the gaps in the mask. I don't want to say that the ball "can't" fit through, because I just don't know. We have been fortunate enough to not have experienced a line shot right in the gaps of the mask, but after playing 63 games last year, it has saved her face on many occasions. So much so, that she wears it whenever she plays in the infield, which is 90% of the time. There is always a potential for injury from a line drive hit, but this mask would considerably reduce any damage to the face from such a hit. My opinion is it is well worth the money. If you purchase one, make sure to take the time and get the fit just right before she wears it in a game.

It depends on the rules for your Little League, but some leagues (like my grandson's) limit a bat's diameter to 2-1/4 inches like this bat. Other leagues allow for a bigger diameter bat. I'd say check with the little league where your child will be playing. Incidentally this bat was a huge hit with my grandson and many of his teammates.

I think your son will love it. I have used it with my 11 and 14yr old sons for a year now. They are both good hitters, and we have a blast. We use the faster balls and they come in at a challenging pace. they are generally strikes, but not always.

This would be a very nice glove for a 13 yr old boy. They fit well, protect the hands and allow for feel of the bat. Pretty durable too. Hope this helps.

I've used it with 11 and 12 inch regular softballs. The girls said it hurt hitting the 12 inch ones, but didn't complain about the 11 inch ones. There is one adjustment on the top to switch it over to baseballs. I believe regular balls would be fine.

Prob depends on the age/size of the batter. The net is not stretched super tight, so the ball pushes the net back 6-12" at the point of impact, and the net is not real heavy, so the entire unit flexes and moves some if hit by a ball moving fast enough. So for smaller players, you would be fine, but for bigger ones it might be dangerous. We use this screen at 40-50'

Baseballs are not a problem, hit them all the time. Soft tballs are also not an issue. Big super balls are also fun to hit, but don't think you asked about that...

If you want to hit for fielding practice, get a cheap metal bat and tape foam around the grip, or just get a fungo. Based on the material, I highly doubt it has enough pop for fielding practice.

Not sure what the requirements are for your 9 year old, but the bat has the stamp on it necessary for league play, so I'm assuming it would be fine for you as well. This really is a great-hitting bat.

Yes, we bought this last year for our 9 year old son who pitches in tournament baseball. He is 10 now (4'8" 80 lbs) and it's plenty big to last him into his early teens.

I bought a 32in one for my son. You can choose the size of the bat from the drop down choices.
