This bat is perfect for my 10 yr old grandson. He is 90lb and about 4' 9" tall

I would check at your sporting good store because it depends on height and weight of each individual child. I believe there is a smaller version of this bat but we purchased the 30.

racket for 9 year old granddaughter, what size should I buy? Jun 3, 2013I was looking for similar information. You would want the 25" which is for ages 8-10 and great for those just starting out. This is per www.tennis-warehouse.comJun 18, 2013 by T. Pfotenhauer My grandson who turned 6 last November loves this racket and is taking tennis lessons. This was the size and brand recommended to his dad for his age and size (his is tall and strong like an 8 year old)

i don't have my daughters bats with me now. I know it held both her slow pitch and fast pitch bats. Sorry, unsure of bat sizes.

No this bat is balanced. You would be looking or a bat that is end loaded. It is heavier at the end bringing bat around quicker. At 6 years old she should work on getting the correct stance and form using her hips to come around. The hips are the key to more power. Use a good bat but at 6 I would get a good bat like this and work on form. Equipment can help but skill and hard work is the key to any good player. Good Luck!

50s should be OK. For colder weather, the bat temperature is only part of the problem. The balls become harder as the temperature falls, and THAT can damage the bat.

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.

From what the "experts" say, 31 inch bats are suited better for the 11-12 year old players. That is considering they are average weight and height. Even if your son was a little above average for his age group I would consider something a little shorter. I think a 29" would be as long as I would go for his age. A good test would be to visit a sports store with similar weight/length bats and have him test his swing, grip, and stance. The good thing about this particular bat is that is extremely light for its size but I still think a 31" would be a bit much. Good luck

Hard to say really. My son is 8 now and probably will use it next year too. We like it for now, but may look at jumping into a higher level Easton at 10 or 11. You could always go to a Dicks Sporting Goods to swing it. Your son would probably do OK with it for this year but I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to "upgrade" next year. Good luck!

The size is just perfect for my 3 year old. I would imagine that it is too small for an 8 year old.

Bats are sized to each age group and person. There are charts out there to look at to fit him. I think this is too big and heavy for a 5 yr old. 10-12 yrs old are using this size

I wanna say I got my 6 year old one that was supposed to be for 8yr olds, but it fits pretty well. Its a tad big but not overly and will give him some growing room. I don't recall what the sizing wording was, but possibly 8-10. I hope that helps.

I am not sure for actual MPH, however I can say my 7 year old can hit on the slow speed but my 4 year old has trouble. The 4 year old does not play tho so yours may be able to hit on it. A regular size bat is easier for the little one but the small bat really helps once they get the hang of it. I hope this helps.

This is perfect for a 2 year old, probably a little small for a 9 year old.

I can't answer this directly as my oldest is 5, but I have the 60x30x15 for my kiddos because it fits our space. It is big enough for them to do forward and backward rolls. I do wish I had been able to get bigger b/c they will outgrow it soon, so I would definitely go up at least one size for an 8 year old.

I'm 135 pounds, 5'8 and it works ok for me. If he wants something to pack a punch he may want to go a bit bigger. This bat works great for me though. My neighbors have given me free range to come into their yard to retrieve all the balls I hit over the fence with this bat :)I just read Brad's answer. Sounds like he really knows his stuff. And if you get a bigger back it'll grow with him.
