You can view them all around the ballpark, swinging their bats, reaching at fabricated targets and taking all sorts of measures to improve their strength. The power behind the swing of the some hitters can be incredible. The truth is, however, it is not only strength behind the swing that makes a difference. It is also the model of bat one has.

How to choose the right bat?

The Length – To pick the correct bat length, the bat should be long enough to reach your wrist when you are standing straight and your arms on your side. Any bat that ends up with the tip of the bat touching the ground and the handle at your wrist will most likely result in the most comfortable bat length that you can pick.

The Weight – Every ballplayer has his or her own personal requirements especially when it comes to how heavy the bat is. A rule of the thumb when deciding upon the ideal bat weight is to take a few swings and try out the bat first to see how it feels. See if the batter can swing away in a comfortable fashion while managing the swing with both hands and without stress. The bat you pick should be the heaviest that the player can handle without loss of swing explosiveness. If the softball bat does not meet these demands then look for another that would be a superior fit. It doesn\’t make a difference if the bat picked out is the most costly or the most wonderfully crafted with the most innovative material. If the hitter has to compromise to meet the necessary requirements, good results will not follow.

Whatever the situation, always error on the side of a lighter bat. Lighter bats can be swung more quickly and the resulting distance will be farther. Having said that, here are helpful hints to help you pick the best bat.

Progress in engineering has produced softball bats that can be comfortably swung by hitters of almost all age groups and sizing. Even the less competent players can today, swing the bat and strike the softball at speeds that can generate a potential problem for the pitcher and the fielders. These innovative bats could possibly also ruin the game if we are not careful, however. As players begin to rely more on these expensive tools rather than focusing on having fun and improving their skills. For these explanations, many softball leagues have begun prohibiting certain bats and also creating rules for softball bat requirements. Some of these requirements are or can be:

The BTF or the Bat Performance Factor has to be 1.20 certified.

The exiting speed of the ball off the bat has to be less than 97-MPH on a normally thrown pitch.

The bat handle grip must be in great condition and not just be tape.

The best softball bat in the hands of a good player translates to the game people in America adore. Next we will talk about how to have an excellent hitting stance.

Ease up and don\’t forget to relax. Twist back and forth to stretch out, bend up and down, do a standing trot. Do everything you can to loosen up the muscular tissues. If you have a reasonable bat speed, fluidity in movement will give you the needed power.

Use a carbon based softball bat. Carbons perform better than aluminum.

When you are hitting, distribute your weight evenly on both legs. Wait for the ball to move in between your shoulders and your chest and let it fly! Hammering the ball in that specific position will tend to give you the most pop.
