I would like to hear from anyone re: the long-term side effects of using fat aluminum bats for tourney play. We have a team of 9 yr. olds, and I am wondering if using this type of bat is really beneficial to the kid. I would hate to see a swing get sloppy because of this heavier bat, or have a kid dependent on technology and not mechanics.
