I'm with you. I always figured it was the power of your swing that mattered. I'm not really a baseball fan anyway.
i remember when i had a rawlings bat in little league. Good times, good times.... maybe i should get one but i dunno
Hand size? Height? Wieght? Those are all factors. If you get to big of a bat you wont have enough batspeed even if you have insane handspeed. Also i use wooden bats not those alum bats unlike most of the baseball players (under minor and mlb levels) I personally can hit alot farther with a wodden bat that a light alum bat even though i have alot more batspeed with alum bat.
i just went to TSA and bought a 34 in Reflex -3. I know, its crap, but there wasnt anything else cheaper and 34 in.
