My Project

We need softball bats in various sizes. As players develop and improve their swings we need a variety of bat sizes. Turning on an inside fastball is difficult with a bat that is too long, hitting a smooth line drive is tough without the right bat. We are going to use these bats daily to make a difference in our performance and practice. Batting practice and games will be enhanced with the new bats. Bats are the most expensive piece of equipment and players need them to perform to their best level.
