Slow Pitch Bats for 16" softball
Summary of
"Picking The Right Bat For 16" Softball
By: S. Brady Phillips
The choice of bat weight should be based on the size, strength and hitting style of the individual. Stronger individuals can and should handle the heavier bats because they can generate enough speed. Players of a slighter build should go slightly lighter but nobody should use a bat less than 32 oz. In short, you should use the heaviest bat that you can still generate good speed with. In 12" softball you work the bat, in 16" softball make the bat work for you by using its extra mass to drive through the "mushier" ball.
