Fastpitch Bat

Question
Dear Sir,

I'm having trouble choosing a new bat. I play in the NWAACC in Washington State, I'm a freshman and left handed slapper. I want to buy the Worth Mayhem bat but don't know if I should be swinging a 24 oz or 23. I have been swinging a 23 for a while and its been favorable but don't know if it would be a big change to moving up to a 24. Could you help me?

Hello Erica,  

To be honest, I don't really see a need to go up in weight if you are a slapper.  Typically I would recommend swinging the heavier bat if you were just a traditional hitter, but for a slapper, the added power you achieve from a heavier bat wouldn't be beneficial.  I'm a Tennessee Lady Vol fan and Worth is their main sponsor.  I noticed during the Championship that several of their hitters use the Blue Mayhem and as you know their lineup has several great slap hitters.  I had a couple of girls on my travel team this season who also swung this bat.  I think you'll enjoy it.  If you will check on Ebay right now, you can find some really great prices!  Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
