Use this chart to help find the bat that is right for you. Remember, these are guidelines to help you get started. Experiment with a few lengths and weights. You will find a comfort zone for both, and that will be the bat for you.
A helpful formula for the right WEIGHT bat is HEIGHT/3 + 7.
 A heavier bat will add only a slight increase to the velocity of a batted ball but may significantly reduce your swing speed.
Ideally, you want to maximize your swing speed while maintaining control of the bat.
Avoid a bat that is too long or too heavy.
Most professional ball players use bats weighing an average of 31-33 ounces.
Do not be afraid of a thicker handle than what is made on aluminum bats.
Avoid extreme variations from handle thickness to barrel diameter.
