I'm 6'2", 200lbs and my bat is 33.5"/31oz. I would like to use the Procut to do my overload/underload training and to take BP with. I know the 16oz model is too heavy according to those who say the ideal overload weight is 25-30% of the actual bat weight. Which one should I use then, the 8oz model or the 12oz?

You might try the 12oz to start as it is in between. but don't worry about the 16 oz being too heavy. It is not at all like a donut because the weight is in a different place making the bat head light.

I got the whole Setpro system and there is more than the Procut. I also use a donut and other things as well.
For sure, you need other overload things in addition to the Procut because, as I said, it is a good but weird device and does not feel like other overload training devices.
