Small kid best bat choice

[Salvati]

I have an 11 y.o. He has a nice swing, but is a small kid. He is 60 to 65 lbs. I'm looking to get as much pop off the bat as he can. I know he's probably never going to be a huge hitter. I would like to get him as much power as possible. Any suggestions on a bat please. Needs to be little league compliant.

Thanks

Check out the Limited Edition Demarini Voodoo. It's a composite bat that is a -13 drop. According to the bat guide your son is in the 16-17oz. range. I don't know his height so, my guess would be a 28" bat with a -12 to -13 drop would be good for him. The -12 bats are offered by Demarini, Catalyst, Easton, and Combat Virus as far as high end bats go. Use a bat guide, like the one from baseballcorner.com to help you choose the size of your son's bat. Happy Baseballing!

Thanks, I could have given a bit more info. He is 4'9" and currently swings a 29, -13. He likes the weight on his current bat so I think I will stick with this size.

my son uses and loves the Stealth Easton 29 / -13. He is around 62 lbs and it works well
for him Good Luck

My son loved that bat, it broke twice and we went with the -11 comp and he hates it. IMO it's not nearly as strong as the -13. Easton changed something in the Nov time frame to make them more durable from what other said, this means less trampoline effect = less exit speeds
