Fastpitch Discussions
Went through that ultra-lightweight thing with the MIDDLE a few years back in baseball. In my days of hitting ignorance, I thought we could cure a bad swing with a -13 bat.
It did...
While he was 11...
Then at 13 when the boys were throwing harder and with more movement he still had a poor swing. It was back to the same old thing so we fixed it with proper swing mechanics. Added to the equation one of the original Anderson baseball Techzillas and it went a long way toward his hitting success. I always felt there was a trade off for the energy created by bat speed versus energy created by mass. The answer is of course, a combination of the two. There is obviously a line where the mass becomes too great to effectively swing, but as I'm sure TB's data will show and his bats have proven, mass definitely adds to the effect.
Unless is so weak as to be unable to swing an average -10 bat, I suspect we'll find that it is more about proper length than it is about ultra-lightweight bats.

dittoz -- I agree in a perfect world I'd rather have a 31/22 than a 32/22, but the problem is the huge horizontal strike zone in fastpitch. A hitter must be able to reach a "strike" that is 6-8" off the plate.
That requirement makes the length/weight tradeoff even trickier.

Hey TumbleB, put Kekambus out of his misery and let him have a Nanotek. And as a reward to my kind gesture of friendship, may I suggest that you ship one up here to Canuck land? Would have NO issue showing it off around here to everyone
