CollegeParentNoMore posted: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.
Again we are talking about 13-14's and below. At least I am. That is the only age group here where you can go back and forth. Last year I would say half of my sons games were bbcor and half were not. Very little weight variation of any to mess with a swing between his bbcor and -5. Regarding playing next year, there is A LOT of discrepency in phyisical development at this age group. It seems by 16U players have balanced out. Meaning all are through puberty.
