This bat is perfect for my 10 yr old grandson. He is 90lb and about 4' 9" tall

I would check at your sporting good store because it depends on height and weight of each individual child. I believe there is a smaller version of this bat but we purchased the 30.

The box says ages 4 to 99. It depends on what a kid is into, I think it's be great for an eight year old.

Our daughter just turned 8 and we bought her the 8' pop up ones. Her coach recommended that over the 6' size.

Maybe...if your 9 yr loves baseball and has a great imagination. My 8 yr old got board with the Baseball Guys, but loves to play with the Hockey Guys. He has had the Hockey Guys for almost three years and still loves to play with them.

I think the 8.5" is a great all-purpose size for most age ranges. How do you intend to use it? When I was a kid we occasionally used larger sized balls for 4square, but the 8.5" offers better ball handling / control.

I am not sure the size on our bats. My daughter is 11 and plays softball. He bat fits very well and the top is Velcro so it is adjustable. The bottom has elastic as well.

You need to order the Easton Black Magic Junior Sku 58831 AE. Also, the black set is the only 6-8 size, the red and royal blue only start at 9-12 age/size. I've used both, both and very good sets.

We have had excellent results with this machine -- the "baseballs" you select that "work" best depend upon whom is using the batting machine, and safety issues -- adults, older kids, younger kids -- our kids are 5 and 6, and they use the Franklin foam balls #14941 (sold in 2-paks), which work great for them (with padded 27" bat) -- some of the other balls sold may be better for older batters --

We bought this for our 8 year old. At her ability level, it's perfect for her. It's pitches are consistent within about a 9" diameter and works very well, but pitches overhanded. I asked my hubby (who is their coach) and he suggested the next model up for a teenager in varsity softball with underhanded pitching. He is impressed with this UPM45 model and says it would be "good enough" if that's all you can afford, but their UPM55 might be a better choice. It's red and $380 on Amazon. Reviews seem mixed, but there aren't many so it's tough to say. Perhaps you'll find more reviews at another site. Good luck!

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

This will be our second season using the Accubat and our players are a mix of 13 and 14 year olds. You can definitely hit a baseball further with a regular bat but this product is very effective for medium and short-range fly balls. It takes some practice to get your range down but once you figure it out you should do fine with it.

I got this bat for my 10 year old but I certainly would have purchased this bat for him when he was 9.30 inch / 17 ounceEaston YB14S500 S500 Youth Baseball Bat

The bat is 2 1/4" in diameter at its thickest area. (actually 2.23 inches if you calculate it using the circumference which is 7"). Hope this helps.

No. You would definitely want at least 32". It depends how tall he is. If he's pushing 6 foot, you might opt for a 34" and he can choke up on the bat a bit. Or at least 33".

Yes, we bought this last year for our 9 year old son who pitches in tournament baseball. He is 10 now (4'8" 80 lbs) and it's plenty big to last him into his early teens.

A regular baseball bat is fine. This machine will help with hand/eye coordination. The balls are very small and it will help them perfect their hitting.

my 7 year old has this scooter. it's perfect size for him. i don't think it would be too tall for a short 9 yr old. my 11 year old uses it sometimes too.
