Choosing the right softball bat is an important first step. When it comes to softball batting tips, bigger is not always better. A big bat does not always equal more hits. According to softball batting coach Marc Dagenais of SoftballPerformance.com, a heavy bat causes the muscles to tense more, which makes them move slower during a swing. A lighter bat means better bat speed, so the softball travels farther and it means a better softball hitting. He also suggests swinging an even lighter bat on the on-deck circle, not a heavier bat, to loosen the muscles and create a faster swing. Softball batting coach Wendell Kim suggests holding the softball bat at the base of the fingers, not the palms of the hands. The knuckles of both hands should be nearly aligned.
