[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any 30 drop 8 bat recs? For a small 13U kid. I don’t think he can handle a drop 5 this fall.

Going to look at bats tomorrow. Any particular ones you like?

Open minded on budget. Will resell or hand down to younger brother. [/quote]

OP here: So 30 drop 8 for a 13 year old - I would highly recommend a Drop -5 simply because he’ll have a difficult time transitioning to BBcor (-3) at 14.

I’d look for a balanced bat. Even smaller 13 year olds can adjust to -5.

The popular choice is the Demarini CF but they build them right to edge of performance where durability isn’t the best. The other option is the Marucci Cat 9 Composite. Those are the 2 most popular. If you’re more price conscious you can always go preowned.[/quote]

Thank you so much!! He is leaning toward the CF 30-25 and we will see how it goes! He has been swinging a wood bat at lessons all summer and my husband said he looked great yesterday. I think I worry more about his size than I should. He played in a 12U wood bat league last fall and did OK (though not as well as in tournaments) He used the CAT composite at tournaments  all year (drop 10) so wants to switch it up and try the CF this time.

Thanks again! [/quote]
