In terms of weight, all BBCOR bats feature a minus 3 length to weight ratio. I’ll repeat that again - ALL BBCOR bats feature a minus 3 length to weight ratio no matter the length of the bat. I know some of you may be wondering, what the heck is length to weight ratio? Well, if you take the weight of the bat minus its length, you’ll come up with a negative number that’s called the drop or length to weight ratio. Still confused? Here’s an example - If you wanted to find the length to weight ratio of this bat, all you have to do is take its length, 34 inches, and subtract it from its weight, 31 ounces - and you’re answer is a -3 length to weight ratio - easy, right? Now that we’ve covered that, I only have one more thing to point out. If you want to get the most out of your swing, you’ll want to select a bat that’s right for your size and strength, so select one you can control, trust me, you’ll be more consistent at the plate and you’ll be able to produce faster swing speeds, which in the end, gives your swing more power. With that being said, if you’re strong enough to swing a longer, heavier bat just as quick as a shorter, lighter bat, do - the batted-ball speed will be much more powerful off the barrel. So that about covers it - like I said before, if you need additional help, I highly recommend contacting us or checking out our user-friendly Bat Coach. It’ll guide you through a short series of questions, and based on your answers, it’ll select the bats that are best for you.
