Softball Bats


Softball is a game like baseball, but it has its own playing equipment. Adult softball bats are generally longer and heavier than baseball bats. Softball gloves are larger than baseball gloves, because the softball is larger than a baseball.

The game was started in 1887 by a group of Harvard and Yale alumni. It became popular and in 1926 it was officially named softball. The game is enjoyed by many recreational and amateur players.

Softball and baseball bats, can be made of wood or aluminum. Aluminum bats are lighter, provide a faster swing and therefore more power. But they can also be more dangerous. That is why some leagues require wood bats for safety reasons.

When choosing a bat, consider your size and weight. Adult bats for slow pitch are usually 33" to 34" long and weigh 26 ounces to 30 ounces. Youth bats are 29" to 32" long and weigh less than 27 ounces.

The standard diameter for softballs is 2 1/2 inches. High school and college players are restricted to bats with a maximum barrel diameter of 2 5/8 inches. Most players 12 years and under should use a 2 1/4 inch barrel.

Wood bats cost about $40-100, while aluminum bats can cost more than $300.
