There are few great made-to-order batsmen. And, while it is generally conceded that batting is largely a gift of nature, still the selection of the proper bat enters prominently into the success attained by every player. T am of the opinion that most players make the mistake of using a bat that is too heavy. They work on the theory that additional weight gives more punch and power to their driv In nine cases out of ten this is a mistake, since the heavy bat has a tendency to handicap the natural swing. No batter gets results unless he meets the ball properly. A too heavq bat positively inter- feres with the swing, particularly if the batter, fooled by a change of pace, tries to shift his style and stance. The grip of the bat is just as im- portant as having the proper weight. Since the size of the hands of every player differs, special attentibn must be paid to this feature. A Never use a bat with so'large a grip that it is difficult to get your hands around it and feel at ease. A firm grip means much in getting distance and power to your drives. Major league players are fortunate in that they can have bats made to suit their fancy. To the amateur player I suggest that he try out the made for the various big leaguers, get one that suits his grip and weight and then stick to it, I would advise that you get a bat a few ounces too light rather than too always belongs to cupant.
