I’m having the same difficulty. One of the big issues I have seen is that the drop is not correct. They are labeled as a drop 10 but are weighing out as a drop 7 or 8. This means the bat will be much heavier. It may be advisable to buy an inch shorter than normal to even the weight out. I am leaning towards the Omaha drop 10 as the price point is under $100. It seems the $100 options are quite limited. I can’t see spending $300 on a league bat that he will outgrow by next year.

27"

If you can find an Omaha 27” 17oz that is your best option but inventory is getting scarce around the country. Second option is DeMarini Uprising in 27” 17oz with a 2.5” barrel.
There is a gap that is missing for the kids that need a 26” 16oz bat that we had issues getting a bat to pass. It’s a really hard test to pass.Last edited by Heath; 02-05-2018, 06:37 PM.

While this is a good deal, these bats aren’t legal for Little League with the new USA bat standard.

Best place to do your research is justbatreviews.com. They have reviewed all of the new USA approved bats. They show what the actual swing weight is and brake down the type of hitter that the bat seems to be made for. I don't buy anything without checking that site. I have found it to be very accurate. And I have bought a lot of bats. By the way I have no affiliation with that site.
