How does a question about a good bat for my kid turn into judgement about how I raise him? I try to gives my kids the best opportunity to succeed in whatever they have a passion for. If that means buying him the best equipment, then so be it.

I'd go with a wooden bat. By the time he's drafted he'll have a big leg up on his competition.

Pick out three in the store that are decent, then let him pick one. Get last year's model too, to save money. With any bat, if he can hit, there will be line drives that bounce into the fence. Same with gloves...select three decent ones, then let him choose. Easton bats are always good.

Apologies if you're referring to me. To hell with who judges how you raise your children! Thats nobody's bizz. ...unless you're unfit!! As far as sports in america's youth go today, we are cheating them. We want the best shoes, gear and equipment for them.
Its kinda like how the overall group of athletes from the "country" end up more productive than everywhere else because there's less $$, sponsorship, the best equipment, nike camps and all the other stuff. dont get me wrong, im not against it but it can be a distraction.
Kids enter grade school loaded with talent and abilities but are forced to "focus" more on one sport to "succeed or get recognized" by college and pros. Many of the pros who are in the HOF's made it in on their "secondary" sport.

maybe he should swing a shitty dull heavy bat then if you want him to succeed in the long run. A magic trampoline super light bat will just give him a crutch for shitty habits.
