Bat weight vs swing speed

Posted by: Michael (Oneputtmn@yahoo.com) on Mon Jun 3 16:46:38 2002

Is it better to have 1. a lower weight softball bat say 26 ounce and swing it faster or 2. a heavier bat that will be swung at a lesser speed. Obviously the heavier weight will impart more force on the ball; however so will having a higher swing speed. So what is better swinging faster or swinging a bigger piece of lumber?
Thank you for any replies
