Looking after it

Keep it off frozen ground and out of the shed in a hard frost. Aluminium dents more easily when it is very cold, and a dented barrel never sounds right again.

Minus Twelve DropLight for its length, easier to swing
Three Lengths61 cm, 63.5 cm and 66 cm
One Piece AlloyNothing to work loose in the barrel
High Tack GripPolyurethane, stays put in small hands

A minus twelve drop, so a young player can actually swing it.

One piece aluminium tee ball bat in 61, 63.5 and 66 cm, with a high tack polyurethane grip. Approved for associated tee ball leagues.

The first bat, chosen the way a first bat should be chosen: by weight, not by length.

The drop weight is minus twelve, which means the bat weighs twelve ounces less than its length in inches. In plain terms, it is light for its size, and a light bat is the one a child can actually get round on.

Three lengths are sold, 61 cm, 63.5 cm and 66 cm, in neon blue and neon green.

It is one piece aluminium, so there is no join in the barrel to work loose, and the grip is high tack polyurethane rather than smooth tape.

It is approved for use in associated tee ball leagues.

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery. No product here is cut, built or configured to a customer's measurement, so that right applies to everything on this site.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.

Buying Guide

6 min read Sports Warehouse UK

Pick the weight first, then the length

The commonest mistake with a first bat is buying one the child will grow into. A bat that is too heavy teaches a slow swing and a dropped back shoulder, and both are hard to unlearn.

Drop weight is the number that tells you whether a bat is light for its size. Take the length in inches, subtract the weight in ounces, and that is the drop. This bat is minus twelve, which is at the light end and is exactly what an entry level player wants.

Which of the three lengths

Stand the bat next to the player with the knob on the floor. If the barrel reaches somewhere between the top of the hip and the bottom of the sternum, it is about right. If the player can hold it out horizontally at arm's length for a slow count of ten without the end dropping, the weight is right too.

Between two sizes, take the shorter one. Control beats reach every time at this age.

Why one piece alloy

A one piece bat is a single tube of aluminium from knob to end cap. Nothing inside it can work loose, which matters when a bat spends its life in a car boot and gets dropped on concrete twice a week.

It also transmits more feel to the hands than a composite, and at tee ball level that feedback is useful: a player learns quickly where the sweet spot is when the bat tells them.

The grip is not a detail

Small hands and a smooth handle is how a bat ends up in the infield. This one is high tack polyurethane, which stays grippy when hands are warm and slightly damp, which is most of a summer session.

Cold weather and dents

Aluminium gets less forgiving as it gets colder. Hitting a hard ball with a very cold bat is how barrels get dented, and a dent is permanent. If the bat has been in an unheated shed overnight, give it half an hour indoors before a session in winter.

League play in the UK is mostly summer anyway, so this is really about winter practice in the garden off a tee.
