How To Select A Slow Pitch Softball Bat
Unlike choosing a Fastpitch bat or baseball bat, selecting a Slow Pitch softball bat is all about personal preference. There are no size charts or guidelines to follow. With that said, it's important to consider features like length, weight, and drop (also known as length to weight ratio).
Some players like heavier bats that are endloaded to give them more power; while others like lighter balanced bats for more bat speed. Many players prefer composite bats due to their performance, but some leagues don't allow them. Take a look at our comparison of different types of Slow Pitch bats to help determine what might work best for you. If you still are unsure, try using a teammate's bat or add Bat Assurance at checkout for a 30-day trial on any slow pitch bat when shopping at JustBats. Experimenting with swinging different sizes and styles is the best way for players to find what suits them best.
