 How To Use Softball Bat Reviews

Are you tired of all of the useless or exaggerated softball bat reviews on the internet?  Slow pitch softball is a sport that lends itself to information overload.  Players are constantly in search of the best softball bats and tips.  Many websites have softball bat reviews or allow users to post their own reviews.  Too many of these are not helpful for players in the market to buy a softball bat.

Most players are concerned with a few things before buying a bat.

-The distance the bat will generate as compared with other bats
-The pop the bat will generate for line drives
-The durability of the bat
-The price of the bat
-The feel of the bat (whether it is endloaded or balanced)

Distance and pop, the two most important factors for many players, are subjective measures.  One type of player may be able to hit a particular bat for significant distance.  Another player use the same bat and find that he does not get the type of distance he would like.  Distance, like pop, depends on bat speed, swing type, bat weight, ball type and other factors.  Finding information specific to your situation is nearly impossible.

In order to cut through the noise of all of the bat reviews on the internet and find the best bat for you, it is best to consolidate and analyze the total of the reviews.  Some sites attempt to do this by assigning number ratings to certain criteria.  A bat may score a 9.2 for distance, but what does that mean?  Some reviewers refuse to give a bat a 10 for distance if it is an ASA bat.  ASA softball bats do not have as much pop as USSSA or NSA approved bats due to stricter regulations.  These numbers do not help much given that different reviewers have different ideas of what the numbers mean or how a bat should rank.

Looking at the specific comments in softball bat reviewes provides much more information to players who want to purchase a new bat.  But, this can get confusing without some type of objective measure of how often the comments appear.  Reading the comments and documenting how often specific comments appear in bat reviews offers a way for players to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a specific bat.  You can compare two or more bats by calculating how often "great distance" shows up in bat reviews.  For one bat, it may show up 60% of the time, while for another, it only shows up 40% of the time.  This gives you objective information to rely on to know how likely a bat is to benefit you for getting more distance and other factors you may be looking for.
