My new softball bat came in the mail yesterday, so today I took it out to the batting cages to break it in and get used to it. Got about 300 hits in. I'm really glad I got it. I've been having to practice with everyone else's bats, which are all too long for me. I guess the standard size slowpitch softball bat is 34 in long, which is too long for a short guy like me. So I got this one which is 32' and 2 oz lighter than their bats. I can't wait to bring it to practice on Monday.
