Fast Pitch Softball Bats
Choosing the right bat is crucial! At HomerunMonkey.com™, our goal is to provide you with the perfect bat to suit your level and skill.
In Fastpitch Softball, pitch speeds can exceed 70 MPH. For this reason, fastpitch softball bats are designed with a long barrel to be more forgiving. With little reaction time for batters, the long barrel allows swings to be off-target by several inches and still produce a favorable result. Batters generally try to swing the longest bat that they can control because more plate coverage increases the chance of contact. However, longer bats leave batters vulnerable to inside pitches.
Bats for fastpitch softball tend to be lighter and shorter than bats for slow-pitch softball. The weight of a fastpitch softball bat should be evenly distributed to allow the most natural and accurate swing from a batter. Unbalanced bats will create inaccurate swing planes and reduce end results.
Get the best fast pitch softball bats from top makers like Anderson, Combat, DeMarini, Easton, Louisville Slugger, Miken, Mizuno, Rawlings and Worth. Make HomerunMonkey.com your #1 resource for all your fastpitch softball and slowpitch softball equipment needs.
How to choose a softball bat:
A. Length: The size and experience of the player should be your guide. The taller the batter, the longer the bat for better reach and more efficiency.
B. Weight: Test the weight of the bat by holding the bat out to your side in your weaker hand. You should be able to control the bat for at least 30 seconds.
C. Test Swing: When swinging a bat, you should hear the noise of the wind. If not, the bat is probably too heavy.
