Hi!

So I just bought the video and I am waiting for it... but I want to buy my son a nice bat.. Below is a description of a bat that is supposed to be the best bat on the market... I want to invest in a good bat... Can you give me any advice about this particular bat? It talks about a "whip" action which may go against the "rotational" mechanics (I think). Well the bat whips but that does not mean the player does. Anyhow I want to buy this bat but I have not seen your video yet and wonder if the two will not work well together. My son is 8 yrs old and has been playing since he was 3yrs old. Everyone in our local league says he has the best swing they have ever seen in a 8 year old...

Or could you suggest a good bat that works with the "program" or does it even matter? And how do I know what size to get him? He uses a 29" right now; should I increase to 30"? Go shorter?
Need some advice.

Thanks,
Louis G.

Description:
The best bat in the game today for 3 reasons:
1. Sc888 Triple 8 alloy is the strongest and toughest in the game for maximum barrel performance

2. Unique Opti-Flex composite handle technology provides maximum handle flex - 3.5 times greater than aluminum in the case of the LST1

3. Patented ConneXion technology acts like a hinge to provide the most efficient energy transfer from handle to barrel. The result: Maximum bat head "whip" for a quicker bat and more power through the hitting zone.

-New streamlined ConneXion piece for even greater flex
-Ultra-lightweight -11 length-to-weight ratio
-Monster Barrel design - longer barrel for larger sweet spot and more contact
-Total-Peen, anodized finish
-Ultra-thin 29/32" handle with Pro-Tack cushioned grip
