Louisville Slugger, however, sets itself apart from other bat makers with more than 120 years of bat-making experience, outstanding turning models, and access to the best-quality wood on the market. The MLB225YB youth bat, for instance, is made of high-quality maple, an extremely dense ti… More >>

My son, 7yo, doesn’t play baseball — but he’s interested in the sport. For Christmas, I bought him some balls, a glove and this bat, the 29″ Louisville Slugger. I grew up swinging a Louisville Slugger when I was a boy playing baseball with my older brother.
Problem is, even though this is the right bat length — according to the web searches I did — it’s just too heavy for him to comfortably swing with any degree of power and control, even when he chokes up on the bat. My son has a slim build, so a stronger, stockier boy might not be so troubled.
After trying this bat out with my son, I’ve concluded that we’ll return to primarily using the two aluminum bats he’s already got in the garage. We may keep using this bat just to build up his upper body strength, but for control and a faster swing, an aluminum bat will be better for him.

More weight than an aluminum bat, so those forearms and biceps and triceps and deltoids develop better, and affordable enough to buy more if it actually breaks. In fact, you can buy several of these for the price of most respectable aluminum bats…
BATTER UP!!!

The look on my son’s face when I gave him this bat for this birthday was simply awesome. The sound of the wooden bat and the feel of a solid hit seemed more natural and authentic. I went to a large sports store and little league bats ranges from $24 up to over $300. I thought, “How ridiculous!” as I bought the $25 DeMartini. It lasted like two games and it had broke. It looked nice for those two games, but he hit farther with the wooden bat. If it breaks I will buy another in a heart beat.
