Using heavier bats or not.....

Posted by: Jake (Jsnake@kc.rr.com) on Tue Jul 24 11:38:24 2001

Is using heavier bats than you would usually use a good thing or a bad thing?? Some people think that using heavier bats sometimes like in batting practice, you get a quicker swing. But I heard from a friend that some expert said that using heavier bats works the strong muscles in the arms and not the quick ones, thus developing a slower swing by using a heavier bat. Can anyone tell me if using a heavier bat in B.P. would help my swing or hurt it?? thanks
