Hi I'm new to the forum and hope to contribute and share my experiences as well on the forums.
My son just finished up his 2nd year of Tball and will be moving to an 8U league next year and I'm looking for a bat. I have one in mind and I just wanted some opinions on it.
My son is a pretty good hitter and has good hand and eye coordination. Only had to use the tee twice all season, he has some good pop as well.
I'm reading a lot on composite bats and have this one in mind. It's a Miken 2011 MV3 Composite bat, I was thinking of getting him the 28inch 16.5 ounce and it has a 2 3/4 barrell. A link to the bat Miken MV3 Bat Miken MV3
My son is 4ft 2" and weighs 52 lbs, he was swinging an Easton Wall Mart bat that was 26inch and weighed 16oz this year, I'm amazed at this composite bat that has 2 more inches in length a bigger barrell and only weighs half an ounce more and not a bad price of $139.
Would this bat be a good choice for my son? I also wanted to know some of you guys opinions on getting these composite bats rolled?
