During this article we’re going to be exploring a simple
process for choosing your composite slowpitch softball bat. Sound interesting?
I hope so.
At present, the future of softball is looking pretty good.
Softball has become one of the most popular sports for family and work
functions, church groups, parent groups and many more organizations. What’s
more, some of the main reasons for this are because it’s easy to play and it
usually doesn’t require a lot of equipment to join in on the fun.
During these events you might feel it unnecessary to bring
your own equipment. Usually a few players will bring a couple of bats and
helmets for everyone to use and most of the time you can get by with this.
Although, the better you want to become the more you’ll probably need to
pick-up your own bat and other custom equipment. This is due to the needs of
your specific body type.
To begin, choose a bat that is easy to control, but powerful
enough (heavy) to produce a ball speed of at least 80-100 mph. How can you
figure this out? The best way to check before you buy is to research online
reviews for your particular bat model. Usually speed and weight ratings will be
listed. Aluminum bats are good for control and power, but composite slowpitch
softball bats cut down on vibrations if you accidentally don’t strike the ball
in the “sweet spot”. What’s the sweet spot? No, it’s not that marvelous area
that makes your woman moan with pleasure (that’s the G-spot). If you’re a woman
and reading this I am sorry. Just to be fair, guys have a g-spot too. Anyway,
the sweet spot is that area of the bat that we all aim for when trying to hit
the ball. When you strike a ball here the bat creates less vibrations and sends
nearly all its weight and energy into the oncoming ball.
Next, try to choose a bat that is long enough to produce a
wide swing, but not so long that you cannot fully control. Usually, the longer
the bat the further you can hit the ball. If you are tall with long arms you’ll
probably want a bat about the length of your arms.
Third, weight is another important factor when choosing a
composite softball bat. The larger you are the heavier you will probably want
the bat. Obviously, the heavier the bat the further you can crank the ball, so
if you are a burly muscle man it seems reasonable that you should be able to
handle a ‘big boy’ bat. The upside to this, besides being able to crush the
ball, is that your lady friends will now begin to tell you how strong your arms
are looking due to that extra weight you’ve been throwing around. Ahhhhh. The
joys of manhood. Again, if you are a woman I’m am sorry. You too can enjoy
extra muscle. Some men like their women to have muscle like men in prison and
Eskimos. A muscle woman can club a baby seal no problem and drag it back to
camp.
A fourth component of choosing a composite bat is grip. This
one is easy enough. The more grip you tape on your bat, the less vibrations
you’ll feel when smacking the life out of that softball. However, choose too
much and it might stop you from gripping the bat correctly, which will decrease
the power of your strength upon the bat.
Lastly, one other factor to keep in mind when choosing a bat
is barrel size. The larger the barrel size (mass) the more surface area you
have to hit the ball. Although, a larger barrel also creates wind drag, so
choose wisely. Imagine those old huge woofel ball bats we used to use when we
were children. Remember these huge plastic bats? Not the little yellow ones.
Those sucked. The big ones were cool because you could nearly hit the ball
every time with no problem. Although, these bats could also be used for other
things such as ores for canoes due to their massive surface areas, or medieval
bludgeoning weapons for beating younger siblings. Anyway, you get the picture.
Well, there you have it. How to choose a composite slowpitch
softball bat? I hope that question has been greatly simplified for you. Beside,
