How long is the break in period for this bat?
8835
It says to hit 150-200 balls with it while rotating the bat with each hit. I believe the break in period may be just a little more than that......maybe 400-500 balls.

About 150 hits of the ball. We took our son to the bating cages and it was broke in after an afternoon.

There isn't a break-in but the problem might be the scraper. The scraper on the back bottom wears down just like the paddles and new paddles raise up the blower up. Look to see if you are blowing snow back under the back as you are going along. I always recommend replacing the scraper at the same time as the paddles.

The first thing you need to know is what your league regulations are. At his age I would think nothing over 2-1/4" diameter, but then the next important factor is what he can comfortably swing. If a bat is too large he will compromise his form trying to get it thru the zone. Try contacting your local league and maybe go to a local batting cage and see if they have professionals giving batting instructions. Hope this helps

If you gently squeeze the actuation trigger and you don't hear "hiss" or anything at all...it's out. The number of actuations will vary according to the length of the actuation, in other words, how long the trigger is depressed. So I can see one only getting seventy if you take long, deep, lung-filling "hits" vs. short "nips."

The bat is 31 inches long, and weighs 20 ounces. Very good bat for the money. My grandson loves it.

Try a 30, 20oz (-10) or 30, 21oz (-11). My daughter has been using only DeMarini since she was 5 years old. She is now 13 years old and uses 32, 21oz (-11). If you decide to go with DeMarini, make sure you turn the bat after each at bat to ensure even distribution. If you do not turn the bat, it will crack. That happened after my daughter hit a homerun.

I got the 33 inch 23 Oz. I have fast hands through the zone, You have to sit back until the ball gets into the zone. I was hitting opposite field with ease and on demand. Placing the ball with this bat is easy. The ball leaves the bat very fast. Reminds me of the baseball years when we could use -5's. I used mine for slow pitch and I love 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

No break in period. It's either it works or not. Sometimes it's better to change the one's before the catalyst converter and the one's after it by the exhaust

2,36 inches at the sweet spot. 1.02 inches at the grip. I'm a newbie. 39 years old and hit approximately 10 yards from homerun when our team have soft pitch practice. I really love this one, so I have copied it from a 33 to a 34, I use maple. I will think you will love this one. But who am I to tell, I am not got any other reference to go on. Except some bigger bats which is heavier than this one. Good luck if you are thinking of buying it. Regards. Daniel Sprengarfjord

Don't Know. My girls don't use them for hitting machines that's what wears them out. We have had 2 CF5's and they love them. Funny how the other comment said did not like the cf6. We bumped her up one inch and one ounce and the cf6 has not performed as well. Very popular bats

We produced a trade show for men called The Man Expo. One of the attractions was a 'Destruction Zone' where we brought in a couple cars and let the patrons use the bat on them. We were going through regular bats about every 20 minutes, sometimes faster. This bat lasted the better part of two days. If you want to see how it held up, google the show and there are a couple of highlight videos showing it. It doesn't seem to heavy. Pretty great bat if you ask my opinion.

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.

Same here - no bats (~6 months). I DO seem them flying around in the late afternoon. Maybe I should've bought the liquid attractant.
