Little League has some strict rules about the diameter of bats that can be used in games, is this bat OK to use in Little League?

Michael, I have no idea. I did a sports themed bedroom for my nine year old son this summer and used these bats for the bed railing and as a curtain rod. So I didn't purchase them for the purpose of using them in Little League. Sorry.

I do not know. My son plays in a local PAL league and I've never seen a coach or umpire challenge the use of any equipment. I woud have to laugh if I saw a George Brett pine tar style episode take place over the diameter of a bat in little league. But I suppose rules are rules.

Yeah.... I don't know. I only bought it to use if someone tries to break into the house. Unfortunately, the attacker will probably get it away from me before I can get a good swing in. Its a nice bat and if I never use it I can give it to my grandson. I will check and see if it says anything on it that it is ok for Little League. It just says "Grand Slam Youth Baseball" and someones autograph. Also says "Powerized" and "Louisville Slugger" Louisville, Kentucky. Made in USA. I just read "Little League bylaws limit the size of any bat to 33 inches in length and 2 1/4 inches in diameter. This one is 29" and 2 1/4" diameter. I believe it is ok for Little League then!

Maybe those bats would provide too much power. My kids use a typical plastic "wiffle ball" bat.

I use it for my little leaguer who is 12 now. It works great if you are behind the plate or behind the pitcher(hard to get this seat except in bullpen).

I don't know that you can really go wrong with a ball from 5-9 inches. I have a 2 and a 4 year old and we have several different sizes. Probably their favorite one is about 6 or 7 inches inches in size. It is good for kicking and two handed throwing. I had bought an 8.5 inch one for my 6 year old nephew, but both girls can play with it too.

I think you can use regular baseballs but they are harder on the wheel and the wheel won't last as long and it will rip the leather off the ball after a couple of uses..If you buy the machine use the machine balls they work good.

From what the "experts" say, 31 inch bats are suited better for the 11-12 year old players. That is considering they are average weight and height. Even if your son was a little above average for his age group I would consider something a little shorter. I think a 29" would be as long as I would go for his age. A good test would be to visit a sports store with similar weight/length bats and have him test his swing, grip, and stance. The good thing about this particular bat is that is extremely light for its size but I still think a 31" would be a bit much. Good luck

The bat is 2 1/4" in diameter at its thickest area. (actually 2.23 inches if you calculate it using the circumference which is 7"). Hope this helps.

My 6 year old hits it. I would say as early as they can understand how to swing bat properly. Also will depend on how tall. I put it on the shortest height for my six year old. It is like a ball high in the strike zone for him so it's not the ideal down the middle height but it works.

All depends on her strength and length of the bat. The lighter the bat, the quicker the bat speed. If your daughter is playing travel ball, she should have no problem with a -11. Bat speed is what you want. My daughter (14 yrs old)was swinging at 32/22 (-10) and I want to get her a longer bat because she grew a couple inches. I went to a 33/22 (-11) and it's perfect. She is able to control it with no problem.

Probably too small. I got it for a 12 year old who is small for his age under 80 pounds I think. His Little League coach recommended it.

Aloha Bryan, Not familiar with the baseball quickster net, but I am also using this net for soccer for my daughter. And it works well. As for baseball, I am pretty certain it would be ok too. The net seems to be pretty strong and had enough give to make sure the baseball will not roll under the net as it comes to rest. I would be feel comfortable using it for baseball. Thanks

This product can be shipped to California for the purpose of playing baseball. The legality issue in California for this product relates to the end use of the product. I would suggest researching baseball bats for sport vs baseball bats for home defense laws in California.

Yes, my Daughter is currently using this exact bat in the USSAA league. Nice sweet spot to get those great hits!

I would check at your sporting good store because it depends on height and weight of each individual child. I believe there is a smaller version of this bat but we purchased the 30.

A couple of important questions ... How tall are you? When you cock the bat, how high is the top of the bat? If the answers to both questions is less than 6 feet, you shouldn't have any problems unless a third question comes into play ... are you still growing? My grand daughter is 10 years old and uses it every day. It is a good product.

Just a quick follow up, we bought one for our daughter who is 4' 6", 60-70lbs in 5th grade. We bought her a 29" 19 oz DeMarini, also called a drop 10 (-10). It's a good length and weight. You can find some good deals on these bats and if it's a starter, he will keep changing bats as his skill progresses. Good luck
