by how much???
I don't remember the exact values with each bat
But I do know it was at least 5mph. He was checked at his school, same day with each bat. That's when he realized that he should be swinging the 33".
To be clear, I am not advocating for kids to randomly start swinging an inch longer bat. The player must have the strength and control to use the larger bat. The circumstance for RR son was after freshman college fall conditioning/season, he tried a 33" and never looked back. I guess he didn't realize until that point the strength he had gained.
That seems really odd that the two would be so different. I would of expected his bat speed to of been less with the 33, but with the added weight that it would end up being the same exit. I was thinking it could possibly be that he is getting the ball on a better part of the sweet spot with the additional length than he was with the 32. Anyone else ideas?
