Buying advice

Consider the player's swing style: balanced bats suit contact hitters, end-loaded bats add power. Composite bats offer better performance but need break-in; alloy bats are ready out of the wrapper and more durable. Check league certifications and drop weight (length-to-weight ratio) for appropriate size. Always try swinging before purchase if possible.
