Nice to see use of wood bats. Meijer sells the Rawlings Big Stick Little League model up to 30 inch long for $15 (thru today 40% off with flyer coupon in store). On my crude scale the 30 inch weighed about 24 oz. Nice northern ash, good looking bat.

Christine -

Sincere apologies but just spotted your thread!

My son (8) takes lessons from an instructor who grew up with the family that owns the company. We got him a youth wood baseball bat thru Carolina Clubs - and they have ALWAYS been fantastic to work with. They looked for a 'light' piece of timber, and made my son a -8 bat (& -9 bats for his friends as presents). Can also pick the color and personalization too! Really can't go wrong working with Carolina Clubs! Karen and Tom will treat ya right ;-)
