Hey Mickey - Some Dialog about Common Curses for 13U
By: Bear
The 3rd common curse for 13U is to have extremely slow hands & a slow swing. I understand examining their bat weight, but did not mention what it is. However, where I want to travel to is in that area. So try this. Alternate between underload sticks to Normal and Overload to Normal. Underload Obtain an old broom stick (of pine vs mahogany). Cut it to 35". Swing it at wiffle balls. (Swing as much as the kid can, watch for blisters.) OverLoad A heavier Wood Bat will do (or a T-Stick, or a Fan Bat). Watch for 'looping'. Do no overdo this, (cause it actually may creates slow hand) Swing maybe 8-10 then switch types of bats. Keep me informed cheers Bear ps. Care to take a guess at the first two common curses for 13U? psps. Set Pro is ok if it gets the kid to swing. It's an Overload device that attempts to keep the kid from 'looping' by adusting the balance of the weight of the bat away from the barrel toward the handle. But overall, a pretty expensive wrist stengthener device. (16 oz. of dumbells costs about $2.00) pspsps. Had to go here. Whose the leader of the club that's made for you & me?
