Fantastic Bat MaxAndDaddy parent

Pros: Good Pop, Great Sound, Good Durability so far. Bat handle wrap comparable or even better than Lizard Skin. My son has no complaints about sting or vibration. Hits to all fields with no problem. He prefers this over Easton or Louisville slugger - 13. At 49.99 this bat is a STEAL! I purchased 2, one at cost and the other @ 50 bux! Size 28 and 29..Wow! Buy it.

Cons: Not exactly drop 13. A little heavier than advertised but not by much. Could be a con or a pro but it does have an ever so slightly end loaded feel.

I have a small ten year old boy who is 65 pounds. He plays a lot of ball. Would this be too heavy for him? cj
The -13 length to weight ratio of the 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid -13 Youth Baseball Bat (YB16NH) makes it one of the lightest models on the market. This should be a good option if you are looking for maximum bat speed.

How would this bat swing compared to the Louisville Sluggar Omaha 516 27" 14oz.? JustBats recommended the Omaha for my son last year to help him get through the zone faster and easier. Lando
The 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid -13 Youth Baseball Bat (YB16NH) is a two-piece hybrid and the Omaha 516 is a one-piece alloy. The Nighthawk being a two-piece will offer better anti-vibration over the one-piece Omaha. The Nighthawk will also have slightly more flex through the swing. Aside from those two differences the overall weight will be very similar.

What is the recommended break-in period for this bat? Mark
Since the 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid -13 Youth Baseball Bat: YB16NH has an alloy barrel, it does not require any break-in. It is game ready.
Marcus
My son currently uses an easton s2 -13 29 inch. He needs to move up to a 30inch. He was hitting in the outfield in the beginning of the season, but seems to be just grounding out now. Is this bat too light or should he go to a -12? He is going to be 11 in August but on the smaller side for his age but has some power behind his swing Anne
I think that the 30" 17 oz 2016 Mizuno Nighthawk Hybrid -13 Youth Baseball Bat: YB16NH would be a great option for your son.
