If a player has to use a -5 to earn a spot on a team, the end of his playing days is near. You have to practice like you play and if the player wants to progress beyond HS he will never use a -5 in a game or practice. Nothing like a little weight variation to mess up a swing.

I've heard that argument plenty and, theoretically, it makes sense. However, in practice, I've never seen it make a difference. Any kid I had (don't have to deal with it anymore, though) who used -5 in summer ball and -3 in high school never showed any problems whatsoever moving between the two.
