> > I'm looking for a new bat for my son, he is 17 years old a junior in high school. He is 6'2" 165lbs. He is use to swinging a 33/30, but in my research from bat sizing charts that he should be using a 34" bat. Does anybody have input on this. I'm concern if I move him upto a 34" bat that he may lose bat speed. Please advise. Any recommendation on a good high school bat would also be appreciated.

Hi, a good bat is what feels good to you. My son really likes the Exo from Louisville Slugger. It has a stiff handle with good flex in the barrel. The stiff handle helps him transfer all the energy he produces in his swing to the barrel.
