My son is 13 years old, 5’1" tall and about 105 lbs. He’s fairly strong for his size but certainly not a 3 or 4 on his travel team. Should he choose the CAT 8 or the CAT 8 Connect? It appears the Connect is more end loaded but the standard CAT 8 mentioned something about it not being as forgiving to smaller players? I want to make sure I get the right one for him. Brandon
Is there a break in time with this bat? Also how does this bat compare to the Cat 8? Tony
Because the bat has a composite handle, does that mean it needs any break in time? Davis F
Is the cat 8 connect endloaded and is it a good bat for more of a contact hitter? Matthew
My son is 10 years old, stands 5' and 122 lbs. He prefers a heavy bat and trains with a (-3) Posey wood bat. Is it ludicrous to swing a -5 bat at his age? Daddy Ball
