This is a used bat that I bought for $75 for my 10 year old son, he's used it longer and has had more hits and home runs with it than any other bat he has ever used.  Keep in mind that great hitting takes a lot more than an expensive bat.  It takes a lot of coaching and practice!  The money I saved for buying this bat went to a former Major League player for hittting instructions at Sand Lot Baseball in Lake Forest, California. Visit http://www.sandlotoc.com  to see what is available at a great facility.
