Thanks Guru,

He got a chance last night to borrow a couple of bats from some kids at the park. Hit a 28", -9oz and a 29", -8oz. Both senior league bats with 2.75" barrels. He did pull almost every pitch with the 28", but was making solid contact. The 29" was a bit of a chore, but he was also probably getting a little tired and was not choking up.

I am sold on the big barrel bat for next season. Is there any real difference between the better bats on the market. I am considering three.

TPX Dynasty -9.5oz
TPX Omaha -9.5oz
Kelly N. Fuego -9oz

My thoughts are to get him the one that he likes the most. Kind of like picking a puppy. If there are some differences that make one that much better than the other I would like to here about them though.

Is the Dynasty that much better than the Omaha? Does anyone know anything about the Kelley bat? Any other suggestions or experiences?

Thanks,

Tim
