Easton PINK SAPPHIRE -10 Girl's Youth Fastpitch Softball Bat, Approved All Fields

Good bat, works well and has a very nice design. I bought this bat for my twelve year old daughter and she loved it! The bat has been used quite a bit, and has proved itself to be very durable.

A high quality bat (perfect size, weight, grip and strength) for young (4-5 year old), beginner girl's softball players. I highly recommend and approve of this bat.

Before buying a bat for a child, be sure to read the guide to buying a bat for a child. There is a good one on the Dicks Sporting Goods site I short cut below. The -10 rule is good to follow. The length of the bat minus the weight in ounces of the bat should be -(minus)10. If a bat is 29 inches long, it should weigh 19 ounces. This is a size for a small child or especially for a young girl. As the child gets stronger and taller, she can handle a longer and heavier bat, but keeping the -10 rule is a good guide to use for fast pitch softball. There is an easy test to determine the length of the bat as well. The bat should be as long as the child's arm is with her fingers touching the end of the bat, holding the bat knob in the middle of her chest with her arm held out to one side. Another measure is for her to hold the bat straight out in front of her with the knob against the center of her chest and her hand should reach the barrel of the bat easily enough so that she can hold the bat in place. The other test is to stand a bat next to the child's leg, and her hand should rest comfortably on the knob of the bat. That last test can be a bit tricky if your child has long legs. What measured correctly in the first 2 tests may not work with the leg check. I think here, it is a matter of which is comfortable for any one child. Be sure to not get too heavy a bat in the first year or two as the child is developing muscles and needs the lighter bat to be able to swing it quickly enough to hit a fast pitched softball. Just FYI.This bat here seems to be a good one for a girl just starting softball. It seems to be a good solid bat and the price is good as you will buy MANY bats over your child's career as a fast pitch softball player. For smaller children there are bats under $20 to $30 at Walmart. Those $300 to $400 bats are for the SERIOUS older player who want to aim for a college scholarship. Softball is a good place for girls who enjoy sports to aim for a "free" college education ...besides the just plain fun of playing softball!

Great appearance, works well - good for little benny ballers - 4-5 yrs old

My daughter loves this bat. It’s beautiful and sturdy, perfect for an 8-years-old. She excited for her next softball season!
