Is this Easton YB 14S50 S50 Youth 26 inch, 16 ounce bat a baseball bat or t-ball bat? A t-ball bat will dent if used to hit hard baseballs

Not sure about baseballs, but my daughter used it for softball and it did not dent.

A baseball bat. My grandson is in Little League. He asked for it, or maybe his coach did.

You don't need a special bat, but I would be recommend it. However, I do not recommend the machine. The concept is great, but the quality on the machine I purchased was extremely poor. Try a JUGS machine (Small-Ball® Pitching Machine). Lots more money, but I bet it's worth it. I don't own that machine though.

No, and if you hit it off the end the bat will crack. Not worth the 25 bucks

Baseballs and goofballs are fine. Not really familiar with cricket ball if it like an american baseball yes I hit into it at close range kinda like a mini batting cage and it's fine. I don't know how to use it for cricket. Hope that helps enjoy it

It uses soft balls and it is good for getting timing down... You can adjust the "apparent speed" by adjusting the distance between the machine and the batter. It really helped my son (and his teammates) consistently getting the bat on the ball, but the light weight of the ball prevents the development of a powerful swing. We found the utility maxes out at 12-13 years old and a "real ball" machine is needed.

Hello, No the bat is 32" and 19 ounce's weight. The 29" is just the length of the handle so the bat must have a 5" barrell

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 --

The elastic will hold a double wall DeMarini bat as well as a senior bat. The Issues I have are the zippers break and the zipper tracks break quickly. I will but a roller pull behind bag next personally.

It should definitely fit a softball bat. From what I understand, a softball bat barrel is the same size as a baseball bat in youth and even a little narrower for adults. My son has been really happy with this bag so far.

I bought this bat for my 15yr old daughter last fall. She has used it with the machine and weighted balls and has had no problems. She loves this bat, has hit 2 out of the park with it so far.

Baseball, works pretty good. Replacement balls cost a lot though. I've used it quite a bit & is great fot practice. Customer service is excellent.

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

I got the 33 inch 23 Oz. I have fast hands through the zone, You have to sit back until the ball gets into the zone. I was hitting opposite field with ease and on demand. Placing the ball with this bat is easy. The ball leaves the bat very fast. Reminds me of the baseball years when we could use -5's. I used mine for slow pitch and I love it!

Depends on the bat used. I have the boys use a heavier wooden bat when training on this to strengthen hands, wrists, and overall swing. When used with a wooden bat noise is very minimal.

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.

Of course. It's a tee. You can use any bat type - or even a broom stick should you want.

I use this on all of our teams mako's and it cause no damage to the bats nor the machine. the material the stick and ball are made of are a softer material than the little league balls are made of.
