Hi, my son currently swings a Marucci Cat 7 30 inch/22 ounce -8 bat. He says it's too short and too light. He turned 12 in September, and is 5'7 and 135lbs. Should he get the -8 32 inch Cat 8 or should he move up to the Cat 8 -5 bat in what size? Heather Wied
Does this bat come in a 2 5/8"? Laura
Mariucci notes this bat has lower MOI and a balanced feel, as do some reviews, but I have also seen some reviews suggest that it is end-loaded. What are your views on how balanced this bat really is? Paul
My son is 65 lbs 4.6 ft tall. Currently playing with a 29/19 -10 marucci. He needs a 30” but I’m not sure what to buy him. He wants this bat but could it be too heavy for him? Do you know if the specifications USSSA is approved for all fast pitch baseball? Monika Prewett
Is it ok to hit the Cat 8 in cold weather? Vinnie
My 12 year old presently swings a 28" -10 bat. He is 4'11" and 85 lbs. He's in the 6th grade. I wonder whether he should size up to a 29" -8 bat such as this Marucci CAT8 -8? Billy Q

My son is 4'10" and 85lbs. He is 11 years old playing 11U travel. I believe 30" is the correct length, based on your bat coach tool, but am trying to decide between the drop 8 or drop 10. What do you recommend? Dave D
Debating on this bat for our 11 year old. We just received the Cat 8 -10 and he says it feels light. He is 5’1” tall and 112 lbs. Any advice is appreciated! Tami
Is it necessary to break in my sons new Marucci CAT 8 baseball bat? Daniel Ries
My son has an older Marucci Hex 31"/21 oz. He is now 12 and about 5'4" tall, 135 lbs. I am considering moving him to a heavier bat like a drop 8 and going to a 30" bat as he has to transition to a drop 5 next year. Is the Cat 8 going to be the most similar to the Hex and what would be others to consider in a drop 8? David Bybee

My son swings a CF Zen composite bat that is a 30/22 (-8), but I have heard aluminum feels heavier. Should I order the Drop 8 or Drop 10? He is 5 foot and weighs 86 pounds and just transitioned to a Drop 8 two months ago. Deidra Holliday

My son has only played LL with USA bats. Transitioning to travel ball and middle school ball. He's 13, 5'8" and average build. Has never swung anything heavier than a -10. Last season he used a Rawlings Velo 32/22. Would this Cat8 be too drastic a change? And do you recommend USSSA or BBCOR? Rafael
My son is in a 9u travel baseball tournament. Is the CAT8 -8 a legal bat? Joseph Giovanisci
