He does not lift wieghts and as few boys on the team do and is just above average hieght and wieght. Almost everyone on the team used the same -5/31" stealth last year.

> The other factor would be lower body mechanics/strength or he may be hitting the ball on the sweet spot of the more frequently. Just one of many possible factors to consider.
