> Here is what I saw with my son at 14 and (now) 15 years old at his high school:
> Distance of average BP homerun was 400 feet with some to 450 and one BP with 5 around 500 feet when not lifting weights.
> When lifting weights the average BP longest hit is around 300 feet.
> If he had not lifted in 4 days he would hit max distance to 350.
> When off the weights for 7 or mare days the 400 footers came back.

Did you try any stretching routines?
